With our headstrong exponential growth of scientific/technological progress, I guess *not* revolutionizing the world within 12 months is sluggish. But we have nothing to be ashamed of, our.6 GTPY (Global Transformations per Year) is perfectly good.:P
That's their fault for wrongfully infringing on Apple's concise, specific, hard-earned intellectual property. And by intellectual property, I mean ownership over the concept of any object of some geometric shape emitting/receiving any form of electromagnetic waves.
And research has finally proven that the binding forces from the natural four fields is, in fact, caused by pegs [now known to be bosons] binding to empty sockets [fermions].
This new finding nicely fits the currently held model that repulsive forces are caused by restraining orders and subatomic-particle on subatomic-particle homophobia. Yet another great day for Science!
I leave stuff open all the time on my machine, and I have no problems. It's a somewhat old machine (basic line macbook from 2008), but I've never had any problems with keeping it [Linux or OS X partition] running for weeks or months. Nor do I have a problem with having Firefox open indefinitely, so long as I keep away from Flash apps. I have chrome too (I got it early, before it was cool and mainstream:P), and it's the same situation. Perfectly good until a plugin goes wonky; though the rest of the chrome browser didn't [usually] crash.
Actually, we aren't as late as you'd think. Early generation star systems didn't have [high] metalicity, so rocky planets didn't have a good chance to form. To get the stuff for life, you need those heavier elements to be formed from a star going supernova. And it can take a while.
But if there are a very large number of parallel universes, then the probability is near one that you have a universe that will only have a single true case.:P
Automation and abstraction are good things, resources permitting. Why should we take the easier route and have things like memory management, etc? Because, the harder something is (ie memory management done by hand as opposed to garbage collection), the more frustration - and more importantly - more errors occur. And that means money or time, so being lazy by doing the easy thing is often the economical and logical choice. Hell, the whole point of a computer is to automate away tedious tasks. Computer science is the applied mathematical study of being lazy.
That's not to say java, et al, is the better choice for every situation. C is probably one of my favorite languages, after all. But it has it's place, just as Cobol does. The most important optimization lesson I ever learned was when I discovered the hard way that a minute saved from a faster program was not worth the 10 minutes spent observing and tweaking the code.
Frist Prost is actually an english phrase that means "I'm stupid" too.:P
Stupid like the legal warfare shenanigans between idevice companies. And the companies themselves.
From personal experience, I can inform you that it's not. If your account has some positive number in it, I can assure you there's a sea of pricks waiting to empty it, no matter how small.
Look moron, there's no grant money for disproving gravity yet there's plenty enough for the other way around. And you gravity believers try to equate us to nazi sympathizers by calling us gravity deniers. We're gravity skeptics, and we're just waiting for conclusive proof to make a decision. Most gravitymongering hype is bullshit and it's all just being pushed by media profiting off fear and politicians profiting off pro-gravity legislation. So until we hear from neutral sources unanimously coming to a consensus, we will rationally remain in doubt.
Of course there's a difference. Java is defined as the language that runs on top of javascript. This is simple, it's just a compiled language that runs atop of an . . . interpreted . . . of an interpreted . . . it's a compiled . . . it's a compiled language that runs on an interpreted . . . okay guys, really, what the fuck? I think I just heard the sound of part of the universe and a good chunk of logic spontaneously imploding. I'm going to go cry now, and thanks to these dipshits my tears will probably fall sideways upwards now.
Do you apply the scientific method to everything? That seems to be your whole argument, that everything you think and do rests on the scientific method. When your mother told you she loved you did you say she couldn't prove that so she shouldn't assert it? Tell me, do the ladies just love that about you?
I did not, and never did, say anything remotely like that. In the vernacular, we call that an "epic fail". I merely said that the method is incompatible with faith. How in the hell you arrived with that mess of idiotic gibberish, I do not wish to know.
Do you ever think about things like morality or justice, things that aren't science based?
That, of course, is completely unrelated to the point.
There are some things the scientific method do not apply to (like religion) and in your mind that means they shouldn't matter and should be discarded.
In my mind? Not only did I say that they didn't matter, and that I definitely didn't say they should be discarded, but that's also not what I think. Which makes your characterization either dishonest or stupid. Pick your poison.
In reality it just means there is more to humanity than science. You should have just said "I don't believe in God" and you would have been as big of a waste of time as the parent, but you at least wouldn't sound like a fool trying to prove science and religion are alternatives when clearly they are not but your own argument.

[Ir]Regardless, the use of the term "ironically" to indicate contradicting actions and intentions is very much valid.

I'm still working with integer* based rendering engines, you insensitive clod!
*16 integers. None of this new fangled 32 bit garbage kids play with these days.
No, they're the worst months to write code for buggies. We all know July is the best month for that.

Give me access to your keyboard and I'll be able to capitalize your sentences too.

So . . . is a fake replica Rolex good then?

To make an apple pie? :D
(It's sad that I get the reference. Sadder still that I meet few others that do too)
But I'm a dude, so what do I know about shopping?
Obviously the important parts: it's boring and it depletes our precious monetary [credit] reserves.
Gossip blogging?
Civilization was born when we didn't all have to keep respawning at the same, crater infested place.

And then it would have polluted the lunar wildlife. Should have been left in Utah, definitely much more barren there.
When you have large, dense populations and the need to put them somewhere, that's kind of an inherent problem no matter what you do.

is its own.
would a significant change in core temp cause a flip? what would cause the core to heat up?
Apparently, a regression in Linux's power management.

Better than a fool with no reading comprehension.
