So they need to have all the extra bloat as plugins... and then distribute a 'Firefox' with all that stuff in it, and 'mozilla lite' without the bloat.
Actually, if you compile it yourself, cant you turn off most of the bloat?
But pirated copies dont have the logistic headache of trying to loan copies to that many people. And this, is one thing that encourages book sales from loaning. Maybe not many, certainly not what the publishing and *AA industries would like you to believe, but at least some.
not exactly - many of them would see library vs. unauthorized download as a completely different beast.
Amongst other things, you can't load the same book out twice at the same time. Waiting lists could enough to get someone to buy something they wouldn't have gotten already.
No kidding. Book publishers would lose almost any money they get from me if they tried to kill libraries.
Amongst other things it's very rare for me to buy a book if I've not already borrowed a copy of that book (or a book in the series) from the library first.
Yes, it's anecdotal, but I know a lot of other people who are the same way.
Problem is, when you are light years behind the competition, a high rate of improvement still requires a long time for catch-up (if it ever happens, given that the competition are all moving targets themselves).
Addendum, so you have to click a little arrow next to the icon, as with so many things that have options. It's a standard user interface thing, only a challenge for the terminally stupid.
I don't disagree that Win 7 sales are probably what's driving up bing, but your first point is rather invalid. Less tech savvy users do not make something better than a competing thing that only differs by having more tech savvy users.
OK, yes, MS doesn't list any alternatives directly, but 'find another search provider' isn't really/that/ bad. It's not like it doesn't describe exactly, and plainly what it does. Now if it said something like "Clicking here can result in your computer being infected by malicious software", I might side with you, but this is kind silly.
Funny. I don't see Bing as an option in this Firefox browser I have open. That doesn't make it more difficult to use.
I think part of the problem is Intels business practices. Namely: While Athlon was "king of the world" Intel cut out AMDs share, not due to better product or prices, but tue to unfair business practices.
That being said, this case would have been much more appropriate then.
So, clicking the drop down next to the search bar in IE, and selecting 'manage search providers' or whatever it is, is more difficult than clicking the drop down next to the search bar in FireFox and selecting 'Manage Search Engines'.
Funny, their methods seem identical except for Firefox has its drop down on the left, MS is on the right, and there's a bit of synonymous noun/verb switching.
You're horribly out of date, circa 2003 when I was in undergrad, there were about half a dozen geenes, including those (as mentioned in TFS) related to sperm production.
Also, if you have a wall that you paint once a year, and a second wall that you also paint once a year, but additionally paint a small corner of the second wall weekly as well, which wall gets painted more often? The second: while most of the wall is not as often changed, that doesn't negate the fact that part of it is changed more frequently.
Same thing: most of the DNA in a male changes at the same rate as in a female, but part of it changes faster.
Also, mutations on non-coding DNA could turn it into coding DNA. Also note that the Y chromosome is partially haploid - this makes sense with that - males are the test subjects of the species (with allele crossover, although rare genes could hypothetically get tossed on and off the Y chromosome.)
A population doesn't need to be independent, just distinct.
As TFS said, there is rapid evolution on the Y chromosome in the human race. With the exception of a few anomalies, this means males.
Yes the female population benefits from this, but these accelerated mutations and shifts in allele frequency are not within the female population, therefor they are not within the group that is evolving at a more rapid pace.
Yes, that's why I trivially do it all over the place when I'm using that library.
it's more readable, and creating a named function isn't much more difficult than creating an anon function... Unless you have difficulty coming up with function names, in which case, I'd say try to be descriptive rather than creative.
Actually, the tortured boy could make sense - just as much as it would for people who'd been away for too long. He became a reaver because it was the only way he could cope with what he saw. Not from being away from society, or "in the black" too long.
I read recently that BBC is actually considering a reboot of that one, but at the moment I can't find a reference - so it was probably word of mouth. If not, I agree, that definitely needs a reboot. I remember watching that one after Dr. Who on PBS and loved it.
It certainly fits better than too many shows on that list that are too recent to be in reboot country IMO. Babylon 5 is definitely the most recent I would put in the reboot category. Firefly was nice, but if they can get the money to complete the movies, it doesn't need a reboot.
Others are just way too recent IMO (Roswell, Lexx).

IE is improving, and improving at a high rate.
Problem is, when you are light years behind the competition, a high rate of improvement still requires a long time for catch-up (if it ever happens, given that the competition are all moving targets themselves).
Don't feel particularly special. Adobe flash is horrid on ANY platform it is made for. Not just Mac.

Yes, putting a box on the table with a sign "fruit in here!" is less obvious than just putting the fruit on the table.
But not to such a degree that it's actually worth being mentioned.

The point about boogy men is they aren't supposed to be real, that way once the kids get old enough, they don't have to live their lives in fear.
Obviously the **AA groups are not suitable for this, because they are real!
That's why I tried to avoid a car reference...

It needs a reboot so they can finish the storyline - the original actors have aged and the discontinuity wouldn't be very nice.

I spilled concentrated sulfuric acid on myself in chem lab many times. Didn't hurt. It did, however, destroy clothing.
Even highly dilute Nitric acid hurt like a bitch, and turned my skin yellow.
So, "The Monster", post movie then?
It was very strongly insinuated (if not flat out stated) that Book was a predecessor to "The Monster".
Actually, the tortured boy could make sense - just as much as it would for people who'd been away for too long. He became a reaver because it was the only way he could cope with what he saw. Not from being away from society, or "in the black" too long.
Different causes, same symptoms.

Miranda would have been fine in a setting that wasn't based on one star system.
I'd prefer a vat of nitric acid. It'd be slower and more painful.

So, don't make them anonymous. Problem solved.
Nope, not a burger joint within two miles of here even if they did.
Do you get your bridge for free, perchance? Does it have a good goat throughput?
Or maybe an army you can make hamburgers out of later? It would certainly beat having to pay their post-service medical bills.
