Some interesting questions arise here. Where exactly is the line between aggregate and specific? Would it be OK if they used the photographs to texture the model? Would it depend on how many photographs were averaged to generate the texel?
this was mostly attributed to development flat-out refusing to even test compatibility with a beta product (Firefox 3 and IE8 come to mind from recent experience), since they didn't want to have to muck about with the code to get it to work, and then muck about with it even more when a given browser went from Beta to GA.
Then they suck. That's how the game is played when you're a large company building a browser based application for wide release. They should have been testing on the alphas and betas, and had devs in the project forums or mailing lists to sort out issues. The GA release should just be a rubber stamp for testing, not the starting point for development.
No doubt this research was funded by GE. They'd love to increase the efficiency of incandescent bulbs, while having them maintain their fragility and short lifespan. Thankfully it's coming too late to avoid the ban. Bring on the LEDs, and good riddance to the notion of light sources as consumable products.
Adblock Plus is the real reason to use Firefox. The simple "url-substring matching from a static.ini file" of your 4th party patch to a 3rd party redistribution of Chrome does not compare.
That was exactly my thought. I had high hopes when they release a basic but solid application in GTalk. I figured that after establishing a solid base they would start releasing new versions with more features on a regular basis. Instead it's unchanged after years. Chrome is the same thing, a solid base with few features. If history is any guide, that's all we'll ever see.
It's like being told that wheelchair technology is getting so good, that not only are they not going to help you learn to walk or run again, they're going to try to convince other people to stop walking or running and switch to a wheelchair.
On the other hand, I haven't seen such unanimous disdain for a series of slashdot articles since Jon Katz. Is it still ungrateful whining if *everyone* is doing it?
...a method for powering not only the internal DSLR body electronics, but also external components such as lenses...
Do there even exist SLR lenses today which are not powered by the camera?
Please tell me this isn't innovative because they're actually suggesting something as incredibly stupid as piping hydrogen to another set of electrodes inside the other devices.
In addition to joining the chorus that will suggest you use version control, I'll put in a suggestion to write a custom tool to view and make specific changes to the file. Multiple users editing *data* files by hand, with no validation, is silly.
One other thing I've found: many typographers (but not type designers so much) are even more [...] pretentious than software engineers
Wow, have you ever done a great job of illustrating that point.
I have more than a passing interest in typography, but trust me, it takes years to learn about this stuff. I would suggest Slashdot leaves type related articles to Typophile.
If you cared a whit about the subject as an art, you'd be happy to have it exposed to more people in such an interesting way. Frankly, I'm happy to have seen a really interesting article without having to risk visiting a site populated by assholes like yourself.

"The Jones" is already plural.
Where are the official rules for the pluralization of all proper names? Who's to say whether Jones pluralizes like "lens" or like "species"?
Grammar fail. This use is not possessive at all, it's simply the plural form of Jones: Joneses.
Perl is not an acronym either.

Seconds on this!
Interstate 76 did a good job of it. It's now old enough to be rebooted itself.
Actually, jibe is something you do in a boat. A jib is part of a boat.

All your base are belong to Benford.
But I think we're going to need literally quantum advances in energy storage technology
You mean the absolute smallest possible advances?
P815? That's what I'm typing this in on right now. I still have little incentive to upgrade. 30" is really the only place to go from here.

No, waiting also attract grues. You need to find a way to prevent time from passing, which is tricky in real life.
Sam Odio of BluWiki is seeking the person behind the iPodHash project
It is a property of every good hash implementation that it's difficult or impossible to determine the source that generated the hash.

The very first word in this post is wrong.
Nice work, Soulskill.
I wept a few quiet tears when I read that.

Most of its vehicle physics and eye-candy are faked
As opposed to what? Putting real cars inside your monitor?
Don't forget teapots!

It's not impossible. I used by bullseye 6-dans with my C-64 back home, and they're not much easier than 8-dans.

There's a comment element to these two that's worth noting: you need to suffer some childhood trauma that leaves you a sociopath.
A severe antisocial personality disorder is a huge advantage in a fight. Regarding your opponents as fellow human beings just slows you down.
