I know that a warp drive is exciting and all, but after they figure how to move an entire spaceship faster than the speed of light, they'll have 500 more problems before they can get anywhere near interesting with it. Transmitting data, on the other hand, is probably a lot easier, and there's a lot of cool real world uses for it. For example sending back images of astronauts hanging out at that Earth-like planet that is 20 light years away.
Yeah but this is still relevant to that other thread. Somebody at canonical decided it was a good idea to take over the GPU and RAM with their useless "unity" interface because that's their "vision for the future" and they have to force it on everyone. This is the problem that Linus and the rest of the kernel people are pointing out.
I'm sick of clients asking for facebook and twitter and leaderboards and in-app-payments-and-ads and "usage metrics" (aka spy on the users) integration, but I'd add 4chan integration to my engine any day. Sounds like fun (seriously).
If I remember correctly, these take down notices have a section where the issuer of the notice swears "under penalty of perjury" that the information on the notice is correct. When it turns out to be incorrect (or even when it isn't but no human ever checks the results from the bot), is that actionable? In a civil court? What is "penalty of perjury" exactly?
If this is such a mystery, why don't they just go to Egypt and ask these schoolchildren? They know Egypt is a country right? "Egyptian schoolchildren" from which era?
He doesn't have to deny anything, there's nothing wrong with having pornography. The fact that they're pointing out that he's not around to "deny" the accusation makes it sound like the old "have you stopped beating your wife yet?" fallacy (not that I'm surprised. a poor summary, in my slashdot? it's more likely than you think)
what's the point of making up arbitrary categories and pick one title out of each? do they do the same with all other media? are there "action paintings"? they have Link to the past, Earthboud and Chrono Trigger in the same category, they all deserve recognition.
yeah, I know about the custom maps, but the units from the single player campaign are basically the terran units from SC1 plus the diamondback, and it's not like people are creating new units (can you even import custom 3D models on those maps?). This guy seems to be talking about a bunch of actually _new_ units that they created and then threw away.
I'm stuck in bronze forever, probably because I don't care about timing and build orders and unit counters, but I have fun playing, and doing all that stuff to climb up the ladder would take the fun out of it for me. And I really don't care about being bronze. What's wrong with playing the game for fun? I wish they'd just let us use all those fun units on unranked games.
At the level of complexity expected from Blender, who cares if it's easy to use? The important question is if there's documentation, if it's easy to integrate with other tools (their COLLADA support is lacking), and if it's easy to develop into a pipeline. In the real world, you might not use the "render" action all the time, so who cares if it's right there in front of you?
your problem is not the inclusion of slang in the dictionary, it's the inclusion of slang in everyday culture. the dictionary is just there to document it
The people in India and the middle east have their governments, and those governments want to block porn. Now they have a simple way to do it. Why would they not want that? Were they really successful in blocking.com porn sites? And the sites that don't want to deal with that will go to.xxx. It's a perfectly civilized solution.
this is inspirational and all, if they're really our parallel selves, where are the +5 Funny comments? (I'm also curious about the trolls, but that's just me)
The land phone system consists of a cable hooked up to a microphone and a speaker. The dialing tones are a hack a layer above it, the old pulse system worked by cutting the circuit in rapid succession. A cellphone is a fully functional computer with a power source, that has to connect to a network of computers and transmit data that needs to be decoded by complex software in real time over radio.
Would your really trust a 911 call to a cellphone? this has nothing to do with "Verizon", whatever that is, people need to pick up the phone and dial 911 on their landline if they have an emergency.
I know that you love to tell yourselves that those guys do a really bad job and you do the job better just because those guys are outsiders and you're not, but that's really not the case, unless you have some facts to back it up (and we don't even know what kind of work this guy is talking about)
If the people in another country are willing to do the same job for less money, that means they are using less resources than you to have basically the same life. Is it ethical to go out of your way to maintain your wasteful life?

Look it's really complicated but apparently the requirement is now about 500 libraries of congress worth of energy to travel faster than light.

ask me again in 100 years
All I see is an article talking about the letter, where's the actual letter?
that's the "street value", you know how it is

those are totally "duh" as well

why is there a "chairman" involved here, and the news media? can't they just create their own facebook group and join it? and unjoin the other one?

No, but it's 3 "yards" tall and can launch 4.4 "pounds" or payload. That's pretty medieval.
