There was one theme to his answers that I've never noticed before:
I regret to say I have no response. I never try to think about what computing might be like 25 years from now; it would be a waste of time, since I know that I don't know.
I found these responses severly disappointing for that reason. Agree with him or not, it's sad to see the responses be essentially "I don't have a vision for the future of FSF, because I can't know the future." That sounds needlessly self-limiting.
Here in Canada, phone transactions usually require the CVV2 code on the back of the card. You don't enter your PIN, because you're not verifying using the chip.
I agree 100%. A lot of people will say that you don't have to spend a lot of money to make a deck that wins. Those people are kidding themselves! Sometimes, you've just gotta pay the money to get the good cards.
Luckily, there are formats that are designed to reward skill more than the size of your bank account: sealed deck and booster draft. Both require participants to buy unopened packs and use them, but paying $15 or $25 every once in a while is far less expensive in the long run.
They could also be referring to Michael Smith, who won the Nobel Prize in 1993 for his work on the polymerase chain reaction. PCR made modern genomics possible.
It's not like the 10 was ever a version number anyway, in that it's a derivative of Next, not ("classic") Mac OS, which they had to ditch. The "X" has always been a marketing thing.
Calling it "X" has always been a marketing thing, it's true, but Apple have been very adamant that it be pronounced "ten" and not "ecks". So I don't know if it has that much to do with it being a NeXT derivative. After all, the OS before OS X was OS 9.
I use CoverFlow for all of my browsing, actually, but that's a product of how I listen to my music. Since I listen to my iTunes library album-by-album, CoverFlow is a great way to find what I'm looking for, and quickly, since I've got album art for 98% of my music.
Personally, I find the horizontal scrolling through albums goes much more quickly than vertical scrolling through the list of albums. And, yes, it looks dead sexy.
I'll freely admit that there isn't much scientific method behind my wait period. That having been said, waiting ten seconds and hoping it gets down to (what I've heard should be) 94 Celsius is far better than pouring it on fresh from the pot.
I'm in no way an authority on coffee beans, but I do believe I make a mean French press of coffee. It's relatively simple: one tablespoon of coffee for every six ounces (or 180mL for we metric folk) of water, let the freshly-boiled water stand for ten seconds to bring it down to maximum flavour extraction temperature, and then let the grounds steep for four minutes. Press and enjoy! There's no way that anybody could force me to grind two tablespoons of coffee a day, though, so I just grind enough at one time for three or four days. I've come to grips with the fact that I probably can't tell the difference anyway.
If I'm looking for something a bit more like rocket fuel (even though French press coffee does have a great kick), I turn to my NespressoEssenza C100. It's tiny as hell and punches a heck of a lot of pressure through it, resulting in an espresso the likes of which I've never seen outside of commercial machines.
Nothing topped Worms:Armageddon for me. It runs well on slower computers, it's easy to tailor the game length to the time you have to dedicate to it, and it's uproariously fun.
What GM food will do is to pollute the world's plants by gene migration from GM plants to other plants (already seen and documented) and impact us in many unforseen ways (e.g. the butterflies dying from GM-altered plants).
But that's the problem; the study you're talking about force-fed butterflies GM corn pollen that was dusted on milkweed plants. It's not even their preferred food. That's like giving us nothing but strychnine-laden dirt and then being surprised when we don't live longer than a week.
If all you want to do is record to MD from am audio source, as long as you can connect them physically you're good to go. You could also get hi-fis and separates that had MD recorders in, and so solve the problem that way.
And if you wanted to record an entire CD, or maybe even a track or two off a CD, and you had an MZ-Nxxx model, you could also fire up the NetMD Simple Burner and rip them, no questions asked. I never used Sonic Stage because I was able to do all of my ripping and erasing with more or less a single button click.
"Konqueror and iCab almost pass (and claim to pass), but they both fail to apply one of the styles required by the test, and as a result they display a scrollbar even though they shouldn't (the Acid 2 guide neglects to mention this style, but see the source code for the test itself):
html {... overflow: hidden;/* hides scrollbars on viewport, see 11.1.1:3 */... }"
Don't forget, though, that the US is the only country in the world that uses "first to invent", rather than "first to file". The patent system of every non-American country hasn't suddenly ground to a halt because of this.
With regards to point 6), while it may not be legal for you to make copies of your archive and give those away, it is legal, in Canada anyway, to lend your original to someone and then have them copy it.
Originally I was going to claim that this is a perfect example of design patent infringement, but I've just done a quick search of the USPTO web page and I can't find any design patents relating to the iPod Shuffle, just the normal iPods.
Unless I've missed it somehow, this means that they can at least get away with copying Apple's design for the time being, since the patent's most likely pending.
Not only is the submitter trolling, he's glossing over some important points:
If you buy Monsanto's seed, you sign a contract that says that you won't save seed for next year. If you end up saving seed, you're in breach of contract. Point finale.
If you don't agree to their terms and conditions, you're not being forced by anybody to buy Monsanto seed. You'll just have to be content with other seed that doesn't have value-added traits such as herbicide or pest resistance.
Currently, the fastest continuous shooting digital camera (the Nikon D2X) can only take 4 shots in a row before its memory buffers get full and the whole camera becomes useless
Actually, and this is taken straight from the D2X product info page, the D2X can "capture 12.4 megapixel JPEG images or RAW images at a rate of 5 frames per second in continuous shooting mode. Moreover, continuous shooting at a rate of up to 8 fps is possible using the High Speed Crop function that crops the center of an image to a 6.8 megapixel resolution."
That's anything but a hard limit of four shots in a row.
Timmy HoHo's is good and all, but I find that it's pretty acidic compared to the stuff that I make at home (I'm currently running off a 50/50 blend of Kenyan AA and Costa Rican Tarrazu). It's a rough transition from home coffee to Tim's coffee.

It's even worse! Atom can't handle file sizes larger than 2MB!

Well, until recently, pretty often. It 30% shows me there is obviously some form of survival benefit to this for it to be so high.
Newsweek misinterpreted the numbers in the article, which is why that figure seems so high.
According to the actual journal article, it's not that 30% of children possess the allele that reduces dopamine receptor density.
Rather, it's that children that possess the allele have a 30% reduction in dopamine receptor density.

Ah, but it's good to have vices!
I believe that you are confusing patent examiners with patent agents.

I love you, and would mod you up if I had points.

If you're talking about base pairs, at least (It's aspartic acid if you're talking about amino acids).
It's represented as such because it's the next letter after C.
Similarly, B is C, G, or T; H is A, C, or T; and V is A, C, or G.
I always wondered what happened to the TheraSpheres after you put them in . . .
It's "master's", not "masters".
(You do, however, say that you have a Master of Science degree, for example.)
