Wave still exists, just not in its original form. Google is still using Wave internally in Google Apps. Wave just didn't have much of a purpose or direction by itself.
Wave was an excellent tool. We used it intensely, and it was great. We love to rganize trips and hikes in the desert. There is a core of people that almost always joins and several others that come in every so often. It was great to have a tool that lets add people, organize, tidy up, add maps, lists, links, polls etc etc. It was possible to work together at the same time and it would highlight the new or unread areas and who modified them. Doing the same over email + a shared Google Doc Spreadsheet now is so much more complicated.
Try using a Wiki. Sounds like the right tool for your need.
Looking at pictures from a different article, this device appears to sit on the ground in front of the keyboard and faces up. The 8 cubic feet is probably the area directly in front of the keyboard between the screen and the user.
Did you look at the evidence? He DID commit those crimes. And they were pretty serious. Destroying evidence and tampering with a witness are felonies. He was facing serious time for that.
You sir, are incorrect. By copying this software that would have taken a lawyer 6 months to write, they were able to gain an unfair 32 seconds on the rightful coder Oracle.
Yeah, because they were headed in that direction anyway. What? You don't remember Java Phone 7? iJava? JavaCE? JavaOS? PalmJava? JavaGo? Hmm. Maybe I'm thinking of something else...
I concur. You can get Arduino sets at Fry's and Radio Shack for way less than what you used to be able to buy Heathkit Kits for. I remember going into the Heathkit store as a kid and thinking how great it would be if I were rich and could afford something...
Converting my old allowance into 2012 dollar, I would have been able to afford an Arduino in ~3weeks.
The library is free. Walking in parks is free. Joining local clubs is often free. Shooting hoops at a park is awful cheap, on an hourly basis. If you have the ability to play video games you have a TV. Over the air TV is free. Hanging out with friends can be free. Learning to play the guitar is as cheap as a used guitar. Jogging is cheap. etc...
This is all well and good but you fail to factor in how much more expensive things get when you get arrested for tea-bagging your vanquished foe when shooting hoops at the park. Or jogging. Video games are WAAAAAAAY cheaper.
Besides, I got tired of buying a new video card every year just to keep up with the latest titles. I know for a fact that any console game will run on the console.
I'm pretty weary of that myth. Three years ago I built a computer with fairly reasonable specs, an ATI 4870 (was about $270) and a Core 2 Duo E6540 (about $150) and incidentals including memory, motherboard, etc all for about $800.
Hmm. Interesting. 4 years ago I bought a $250 Xbox 360 and it plays all the latest games today. 6 years ago I bought a Dell XPS M170 and found that I couldn't play the newest expansion for WoW on it about 3 years ago. I'm pretty sure this isn't a myth.
The case against theft is that it denies the use of said item from the owner. Copying a movie does not prevent the owner from selling the movie; it doesn't prevent the use of the movie by others who paid their admission. The only thing it supposedly does is prevents the rights holders from selling a performance to those who choose to copy it, which this story is saying (and numerous other studies on the matter say) is plainly not evident. People who pirate will either still go to the movie in the theaters, or are so small compared with the total market as to be virtually insignificant.
Well, you don't know what you're talking about. The IT system at the University isn't a learning lab where mistakes can be made and the entire system can be wiped clean every semester to make way for the new batch of fiddlers. There are privacy requirements that must be adhered to.
The fact is they can maintain their basic IT systems. It just costs more than using Google. If you want real world experience pay attenion: there are a lot more people in this world managing vendor relationships then there are programmers or IT guys.
"Common sense" is a phrase meaning "something that doesn't need to be backed up with facts". I'm glad that "common sense" is considered "extreme" or even a bit whacko.
So if 'Asians' only go out and listen to live bands as their entertainment why are CD and DVD so huge in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, etc.? Also, how do you explain away the vast amount of CD and DVD bootlegging in the region?
Officially, it doesn't exist. The asian government says there's no bootlegging, so there's no bootlegging.
We can't do that here in the USA. They keep the noise^H^H^H^H^Hmusic in bars cranked up so loud you can't carry on a conversation. Not just bars. Even the local Starbucks plays their Muzak far too loud to talk quietly, or even read without being distracted.
But then if they turned down the music, you'd realize how little people actually have to say.
And those rotten kids are riding their bicycles over my lawn! If they weren't on my lawn, they might be good for something!

You just have to keep your hands very still for it to be useful. 2mm is close enough for mouse work.

You can get coffee makers with clocks that will brew at a specified time. That's old tech.

IANAL, but I doubt they'd win. He's already attempted to commit suicide twice before he succeeded. Kind of hard to prove liablility in that case.
I honestly think that if he didn't attempt manipulate witnesses and destroy evidence, he probably wouldn't have been convicted.
I think "a little worse" was meant to be sarcastic. It's a lot worse.
Sarcasm doesn't work on the internet. We can't hear you. It doesn't work anywhere, really.
I'm curious: which company was it?
carbohydride? hydrogenium? What language are you speaking?
It's called Chemistry 101. It's very popular here at Slashdot.
This is the same page that Bing brings up as it's first result.

By the same logic we should have never come down from the trees.
