This is one of the best answers so far IMO. Document the hell out of what you know, make sure the juniors understand it, and leave to new prospects with a clear conscious. Win-win.
Don't avoid exciting opportunities out of "loyalty," but make sure the current folks know why you want to leave and ensure there is no bad blood, ie. just giving two weeks' notice and leaving them in the lurch. Transition cleanly, and everyone comes out ahead.
When you change channels, you will occasionally get an hourglass for a few seconds, for no apparent reason.
Sounds like just about every digital cable box I've seen!:D
Could be worse, though. My parents have digital cable through Rogers here in Ontario, Canada. The remote has a Guide button that would normally take you to the channel guide with all the program listings and a small channel preview area. Now with the latest boxes, it instead takes you to some shitty Rogers screen where you can go to PPV movies, Games, etc. and to get to the frggin' channel guide you have to push the Guide button a second time. There's always a bit of lag, so half the time I push the button twice it exits out of the menu and goes back to the original channel I was watching!
I'd like to meet the moron who thought of this blatantly user-hostile idea so I can kick him in the nuts.
Because of the Facebook Social Plug-in, which runs on third party sites that have comment boxes and/or like buttons. There'll still be FB cookies, they just won't have your FB-linked info.
Yes, the built-in Software Update service on OS X includes some Java updates, but with Lion, Java is no longer installed by default. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1421
The rationalization for why Macs don't have a Start Menu and Window does, is you'd never want users to have to wade through the Program Files folders, since they contains so much more visible files than just the ones you're supposed to run.
No, it's because the Start Menu is a Windows thing, not a Mac thing.
You're probably thinking of The Mechanical Universe hosted by a CalTech prof. I used to get up on Saturday mornings, eat breakfast, watch cartoons for 90 minutes, then watch TMU. Meant I had a good background before I even got to high school Physics.
Much as I enjoyed Bill Nye as an adult, it was still too much aimed at the ADD crowd IMO. Never watched Beakman's World. Mr. Wizard was better paced for the pre-MTV crowd.
Blame an electoral system that has candidates out campaigning and having to raise money a year + out from the actual election date. Running a campaign that long takes boatloads of money.
I'd say that Amazon's search for books & movies doesn't work that well either. On a product page, I'll click the band's name, and what invariably comes back is a fuzzy match search using it as a keyword, NOT a listing of solely that band's stuff. Plus I can't stand all the cross-sell bullshit after you add something to your shopping cart. It may drive revenue but it drives me nuts and makes no sense from a usability standpoint.

Funny, my first 2 cell phones were Sony Ericssons, and I found the interface a hell of a lot better than my friends' Motorolas. YMMV I suppose.

Dang. Well, Swatch Internet Time it is!
Could this be used to extract the salt from 300,000,000 gallons of seawater a day? They'd have enough salt to last forever!

It certainly gave us some of the best music of the latter half of the 20th century.

Too cool to pay for internet at home, maaan! :D
Why is it these game designers constantly seem to forget that what you are playing is a game and is therefor supposed to be fun?
Because your definition of "fun" isn't always the same as mine.
No, that's the difference between a direct democracy and an indirect or representative democracy, not versus a republic.
You want a speedy and efficient government, go live under a supreme dictator; I hear they make very quick decisions.
I didn't say he looked like Alex Trebek, I said he was Alex Trebek!
Pfft. Go to Labrador for some REAL ice.
You will regret this!
