indeed, this version is the dogs bollocks. The old Opera was quite crap and I mostly used the built in browser on my G1, now, Opera is *the* browser, so fast... only niggle I found is that it doesn't seem to direct youtube videos to the youtube app, just showing the youtube page itself with an non working video on it Oh well, I can live with that!:-)
True that, hmmm, maybe next step is to go suborbital and combine travel and pleasure. do intercontinental flights within the hours and with around 25 minutes of freefall, that would still be an incredible experience
as other people mentioned, India is almost as big market as china. You also have Indonesia 0.24Bn, Russia 0.14Bn Japan 0.13Bn, Korea 0.05Bn than all the other countres in asia as Thailand, malaysia,Vietnam etc, etc, etc
It's just a shame that the SS2 only gets you to zero-g for a small amount of time, i would love to do a couple or orbits (say 3 orbits, 5 hour flight time)
Indeed, unfortunately it's a whole different ballgame technically to go orbital than just straight up and fall down again, far greater stresses on the vehicle that's needed to be taken into consideration. Hoping that if SS2 takes of economically then matbe SS3 will do proper orbital flights:-)
well, they are actually advising against using kilobyte to mean 1024. Nowadays it's supposed to mean 1000 bytes and you're supposed to use kibibyte when you mean 1024. I know, it's horrible
hear hear, all very true. I still remember the pain when I ran out of numbers (when I needed to insert some code inbetween 2 lines) and needed to sit down and renumber the whole piece of code, now trying to add big enough increments between the numbers. c was heaven after such thing
I started in school with Ada (the horror!) thought this programming thing was not for me. then we went on to c, and I saw the light....
Having said that, I do mostly c# and python nowadays and I DID start with Basic (on the Apple II) by myself before getting to the programming classes in school
You talking about the 'climatgate' incident with Michael Mann? Pennsylvania State Uni did an investigation into this, as they don't really want to deal with scientists that cheat and they found no errors in the science, so there.
the times article gives you a theory why the US been hit so bad with lots of snow, that's all, it also states at the end of the article (I quote):
Ultimately, however, it's a mistake to use any one storm — or even a season's worth of storms — to disprove climate change (or to prove it; some environmentalists have wrongly tied the lack of snow in Vancouver, the site of the Winter Olympic Games, which begin this week, to global warming
Reagarding stopping the ocean current, Well, the Gulf stream is weaker now, or rather, more is directed towards africa and not towards europe, so there certanly seems to be a connection between the theory and the measured results.
admittedly there are a lot of people who throw out stupid knee-jerk comments whenever something weather related happens, but that doesn't mean the science behind climate change is bad. We have strong indications that the weather is changing and it looks like we are the cause. Please try to filter out the noise and check out the actual data and see if it makes sense, that's what I did.
Oh, and the increased ice on Antarctice seems to be because of the good ol' ozone hole.
oooh, I remember my mate's 486DX2, with turbo 66MHz, without 33, all neatly displayed on a little LED panel on the front, ah, those where the days..... Where're my slippers...?

Well, wine is a far worse patent trap than mono nad companies still use it as basis for some linux ports
Also, MS extended their community promise (apparently legally binding) to not go after mono with patents:

you know, peoples attention span is not what it was back in the day. Still, it was a great game though!
I know, I know...I should know better... *holds up hands*
uuum, girls can be straight as well, you know... heard about them? girls? no?

dunno about Oblivion, but 1080p HDMI can be done with a nvidia ION motherboard. just an 330 Atom with dual cores and a decent GPU....
hear, hear, and look at Yul Brynner, it worked for him!
always likes snakes, just out of interest, how much force is there in a bite from one?

believe that book is for ppl learning programming. the book you REALLY want is this one

even better, give him some list comprehensions or some functional language stuff, pref. with some closures thrown in for a good measure
F#CK?? is that some dialect of F#?

to be fair, all primitive types like int, float, etc are stored on the stack and not the heap, only objects are
