Meh, it's not like Netscape/Firefox and Thunderbird haven't had their fair share of moving things around. And what's with Gimp splitting "Save As" out to "Save As" and "Export" so I have the extra step of having to cancel a useless dialog every time I want to save a png?
Space *is* the final frontier. Only it won't be explored by a dude sticking his tongue down blue-skinned-girls throats, it will be explored by entrepreneurs with tons of cash.
They spent billions because Congress kept delaying and rescoping the project. Then they had to start over again practically from scratch when the President and Congress insisted they had to include the Russians.
I think that's kinda the point. Unless NASA ceased to be a government agency when I wasn't looking.
It always asks me. But it's one of those things where you (or me at least) tends to click through automatically. It's really no substitute for an edit function.
Minecraft fills a much neglected niche. While everyone was chasing the popular paradigms, Minecraft came in, borrowed from a half-there game and took it into a realm of creative construction not provided by the much-more rigid on-rails environment of the mainstream games. Doors open, walls can be destroyed. Death is a PITA and doesn't just take you back to the previous checkpoint.
I'll keep that in mind next time your drowning. I'll just stand there and watch, instead of saving you. And you'll not hold that against me, right? Hypothetically, I mean, since you'd be dead in that scenario.
You'd be far better off stopping those who are getting wealthy by theft (particularly when it is off the back of that wealth redistribution you love so much) from doing so. Legally though... well you do you suppose owns the Legislature?
Except you're driving a buss full of orphans and instead of clipping the child on the bike and breaking their leg, you bounce off the parked car and into the gorge alongside the road, killing all on board.
Decimal fractions were not always as familiar to people as they are now. I think the shift mostly occurred in the 60s and 70s with metrication and increasing use of digital calculating devices (calculators and computers)
Agreed. And Planck lengths are physics. Mathematics is a useful tool in physics and things in the real world must agree with physical laws (or those laws must be changed [or qualified]) but mathematics is so much more than physics (cue XKCD strip)

Windows 9, codename "Osborne"
Nor try to pass with reduced visibility. Which I see quite often when cyclists decide to use the back roads during rush hour around here.
Well, except for the most completely trivial.

Yes, no, matter of opinion.
b all you can b
Done.
when you got a game there wasn't going to be another one in 5 minutes.
When you could fit a dozen games on a C60, there often, literally was. :)
Amiga games started disappearing from the shelves and being replaced by PC games around 1990 (about the time of Monkey Island II).
You're definitely right. We're starting to see a resurgence in creativity. App stores and easy access to engines is surely part of that.

What I hear from most people is "I really want one but the wife won't let me have one." Is that the sound of a whip I hear?

(Yes, that's before the emancipation proclamation)
Morally, all else being equal, you should push the button.
Legally, in a free country, you should not be compelled to push the button. (assuming you were not the cause of the guy being in that position).
It's fairly simple.

Is that you, Phil Collins?
Also not that hard (for many of us). Family first. You can feel guilty about the random strangers later.
That's the ethics of theft.

See how that works?
I'd mod you up if I could. This should be the default action, protect the passenger.
Here's the other thing, all else being equal, don't swerve. Swerving costs traction. Better to use that traction to have a slower impact.

Good news. The government is going to raid your pension so you get to be old and poor anyway.
Paper zombies have feelings too.
