The two examples I gave wear real ones (Walking With Dinosaurs - BBC and Walking With Beasts - also BBC)
You earn Flamebait because, you say most pre-history books and television shows where what you mean is "some (or a few) TV shows". Most pre-history books are open and honest about areas of ignorance. (I mean, how did you find out that this was guesswork?)
So, I should but my network monitoring software on a virtual desktop? What the hell good is that?
But if its on a second monitor half the time, you're not looking at it
And let's not even talk about the benefits you get when doing web developement having your editor on one screen and your browser on the other.
But thats exactly the same as having them on two different virtual desktops. Instead of moving your eyes from one screen to the other, flip from one desktop to the other. Tie this to a shortcut key, and its second nature. Why is that different?
And the more tasks you have going on at once, the more constrained you'll be by the limited desktop area provided by even a screen capable of resolutions as high as 1600x1200. The next logical step is adding a second monitor, or perhaps a third
No. The next logical step is virtual desktops. One monitor, many desktops. You need lots of windows, but no-one is smart enough to want to look at them all at the same time. And Alt-F1/Alt-F2/Alt-F3 is much less likely to give you a serious crick in your neck.
Hey, you can't go around calling other people art school floozies and then casually throw an "eschew" into the debate, you know. Besides, Oxford University admits too many upper class twits to have the intellectual rigour of an art school...
For future stuff yes, but for stuff alreay encoded this is magic code
Plus, WMA has been pushed hard for embedded devices, and changing the codec to make old decoders non-operational -- especially not-easily-updatable firmware -- would make them extremely unpopular with music hardware vendors.
if they did it in an illegal way (e.g. decompiled the windows decoder)
Unless, of course, like the SAMBA team, they did this reverse engineering outside the "Land Of The Free"(tm), where its not illegal (and often specifically permitted by legislation).
Thats true. You never see dogs boring each other witless with the irrelevant minutiae of their lives. Mind you, dog's can lick actually their own genitals, which is pretty much what blogging is a substitute for...
ater is on the surface of the earth. how else would you describe where the water is?
But if you look at their map, its pretty clear they're not counting the oceans. And if they were, the figure would be nowhere near 83%, as a moment's thought would have made clear.
I appreciate that this is slashdot and the idea of a moment's thought before a smartass comment is utterly alien.
If you're the cyclist who gets in my way all the time riding 30 mph below the speed limit (I live in a very hilly area), then I want YOU ticketed and off the roadway.
Either you haven't learned basic overtaking maneuvers, or the cyclist is an inconsiderate tosser... One of you should definitely be off the roads.
She was in Heavenly? Jesus Christ, they were so cool. Between, ooh '93 and '95 I must've seen those about 7 or 8 times in a year, usually at the Jericho Tavern, Oxford.
Like, the people who already live in the chosen state? Or will they get the same treatment as the Native Americans, the last time such a grandiose scheme was attempted?
Slashdot Mirror
Researchers were quick to deny rumours that the earliest neanderthal lithographs discovered on cave walls have been translated as "First Post"...
Hey! Don't diss librarians. Sometimes they're your last line of defence in protecting your First Amendment Rights.
I can also assure you I was definitely not referring to Tennessee Ernie Ford who is easy to beat at pool, because he is
"Never play pool with a man named after a state."
...sadly, I think it was in an episode of Quantum Leap, where Dean Stockwell used his handheld computer to calculate the angles.
I appreciate that this is slashdot and the idea of a moment's thought before a smartass comment is utterly alien.
They use the Earth's surface to fish? Now that is a technological breakthrough worth discussing...
The system will use a unique new message passing protocol that insists every message is terminated with the two-byte string "EH"
She was in Heavenly? Jesus Christ, they were so cool. Between, ooh '93 and '95 I must've seen those about 7 or 8 times in a year, usually at the Jericho Tavern, Oxford.
Holy living fuck, I never knew that.
