What you said reminds me of Contra Hard Corps for the Sega Genesis with it's unskippable mini-cinemas. I might consider it better than the SNES Contra 3 if it didn't have them (or at least they were skippable.)
I stopped using discrete modems and went for winmodems (softmodems) almost immediately because of the latency getting the data through the serial port. Sadly, it is the same for graphics cards which is why you will never catch me dead with one in my machine. I will pown (sic) you all everyday of the week.
I don't mind virtual desktops, but it is too easy for me to have windows build up and not be able to find them. Or worse yet, open things multiple times.
I yearn for better controls for window management. I want to be be able to Meta-click outside of an app to hide it. I want ctrl-~ to switch between application windows. I want a button that will bring up all the windows of the app instead of a taskbar. I want to be able to meta-click the close button to be able to close all windows of the app. I want ctrl-shift and clicking the close button to close all windows of the app. I want meta-shift and a click on the minimize button to hide the whole app. I want window grouping.
Alt-middle click for resizing and alt click for moving windows can stay.
If I had all those, I wouldn't care about fancy things like expose or multiple desktops. I am thinking about trying out one of those tiling window managers though.
You can press the Shift,Option, and Control buttons in different combinations to create different kinds of button presses on Macs. That would probably be like ~12 combinations.
I already dislike the new gui for firefox on the mac (why in the world does the back button need to be so big?),
How else would non technical people know they are not using Safari at a glance? (Not that I especially like the art direction in Firfeox 3.5 either...)
Moderations are often strange and mysterious, but in this case they weren't exactly the same things. For one thing rather than just -speculating- that the researchers provided information as to how they paralyzed the rats, I provided the link. I also explained WHY it sometimes seems incomplete.
I was unimpressed with the moderators, not you. When I did post on topic, I was moded off topic. Your post this time just got modded up even though it was totally off topic. *sigh* I think it comes down to saying something the mods like to hear, not whether it is off topic or not.
I provided the link. I also explained WHY it sometimes seems incomplete
I also explained "WHY" it seemed incomplete. But no one seemed to read it. I didn't provide a link this time, but I usually do 99% of the time. There are cases where I quote material, and have been modded "TROLL" for it. I link isn't always a silver arrow.
There is never going to be an article on moderation. Might as well get it off my mind now so I can not worry about it later. I do have built up karma from the years so it shouldn't effect me too badly. No one even seems to read the moderation guide lines anymore.
It's important to remember that when reading about research on/., rarely are the summary or "the article" actually written by the scientists themselves. "TFA" is usually written by a staff writer at websites like newscientist, and the summaries are written by/.ers. Occasionally, a link is provided to the real paper, as it was here. That's the actual stuff straight from the horse's mouth. Before you critique the scientists for being incomplete or not including information, make sure you're reading the article that the scientists wrote to see if they did that, but the chain of people who brought it to slashdot left it out.
I said the exact same thing as you in your post....yet I got modded off topic and you got +5 insightful? WTF What I had written was below.
Though I am not sure that is exactly what this is in this case. I strongly think paraplegic was only used for brevity and because it has an exact medical meaning. It wouldn't surprise me if another page of the report detailed exactly how they made the rats paraplegic, perhaps even using the words that the poster that you were replying to wished they did.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply and it was deserving of your moderation. The danger with snarky comments is that they can create a escalation instead of good discussion. (Especially when users lose be basis of what the comments was in reply to.)
Snarky comments also by their nature are a double edged sword, where usually the first moderation determines how other readers will interpret it. You were moderated insightful. Not funny. There is always the danger of someone buzzing around first a with troll mod though. Speaking of which, as of late I find my snarky comments modded a troll:-/ Need to include notes on the bottom.
Well, hopefully if they ever become popular, someone creates a correlation between the increased arm chopped-off rate of children and wearing the bracelet.
The kids who you most want to watch are most likely to take it off again and again. The only way to get around it is to implant it.
Cursive is written sufficiently different enough that learning to write it will help you to read it. Which also incidentally connects to how a lot of people learn by writing things down.
Asian characters are similar. You may be able to read a number of them, but until you write them you don't notice the little things that help you differentiate them for when you learn more of them.
For signatures, I sense the day that cursive dies, biometrics will be what replaces it.
That is usually code for "we severed the spine so we could test out this technique"
That is usually code for "I disapprove of this research and will continue to do so right up until I get a spinal cord injury, at which point I will promptly forget I was ever opposed to it and will gripe about the research taking too long."
You sir are no better than who you responded to because you pidgin-holed a large group of people by saying something obtuse. It edges on trolling (though I doubt you will me modded as such).
When market speak is pointed out in MS articles, those posts get an automatic +5 insightful. Though I am not sure that is exactly what this is in this case. I strongly think paraplegic was only used for brevity and because it has an exact medical meaning. It wouldn't surprise me if another page of the report detailed exactly how they made the rats paraplegic, perhaps even using the words that the poster that you were replying to wished they did.
I do hate it when people word things that they think some groups might find disgusting so that it is round about. It undermines transparency when you have to read into everything to figure out what it means exactly. It undermines allowing society to digest something and figure out where it falls in their "morality and ethics". We have a place for squashing flies. We have a place for the death penalty. We have a place for war. We have a place for hunting. We have a place for slaughtering cattle. I am sure there is a place for paraplegic mice, too.
You're being way way too pessimistic. Is this so different from Car Talk? I'm pretty sure that that NPR show still hasn't failed yet. On top of that, I am sure there are a lot of listeners who don't know a lot about cars, but pick up small things from it. It's a great way to educate people without overloading because they pick things up at their own pace and the next time they boot their computer they notice things.
The CPU isn't the only power hungry component in a laptop, but I will stick to only talking about it for the sake of staying on topic with the article. For most people what you are asking for is accomplished by using the slower version of the current CPU. It also saves them money, so they have little to complain about. The hardcore people buy the fast CPU and force throttle it down in the BIOS.
Having said that, I think you are asking for an expensive CPU where the development dollars are mainly focused on power consumption. Your best bet is probably something from the ARM architecture as Intel has shown time and time again how they work. It started with the P4's focus on megahertz, and now the new thing is adding a bazillion cores to processors. If you don't like it, stop buying Intel. I don't see them changing any time soon.
Our society has too much of it. When handled inappropriately, it also teaches children to write like raving lunatics for a cause instead of thoughtfully thinking about the entire situation. I think there is far far too much of this kind of writing in our world.
I still remember the DARE program forcing me to write an essay about how drugs are bad for you. I would just like to say, screw you DARE, the drugs from chemotherapy saved my life from cancer, as did steroids when my immune system fell apart and I couldn't eat anymore. Thank you for forcing blanket statements on us.
When you preach things that one-sidedly, you ended up with children knowing you are full of shit and ignore you.
If you are trying to figure out when the special holiday sales are on the hard drives, these dates match up to 1st, 10th, 100th, 1000th, 10000th, 100000th, 1000000th, 10000000th and 100000000th respectively.
I double checked creator codes on wikipedia. They apparently also serve as a general file-type just like a filename extension. Except the file-type metadata is actually stored where it's supposed to be...with the other metadata.
So anyone know if this is just conceding to filename extensions, or if Apple is just dropping support for specific apps from claiming a _specific_ files no matter the OS wide filetype settings?
Depends on how you look at it. I was talking about how my post was rated troll which could and usually does turn into a talk about the content itself (which is on topic). A number of posts from other people on this article have been inaccurately moderated "Troll" for some reason though.
At his point, I do believe we may be both off topic (thanks to the mods). It will be interesting to see if you get rated off topic, and this post here gets rated troll, too. Here's hoping for helpful meta-moderation.
You phrased things much better than I could fine sir. The link to the wikipedia article that the original poster included read nothing like TFA. Though because of the glaring placement of the post toward the top of the page and how straight forward it is written, I think most mods probably modded it without checking against either of the articles. That is how human nature is:). It's nice that slashdot moderation tends to correct itself over time thanks to insightful replies lower in the tree.

Actually, it is interesting I was marked troll for quoting some text that the original poster linked. O.o A view into the minds of the moderators.
