It still is absurd to ban something that is non invasive and non destructive. IDC about paparazzi type photo journalism but banning persons from photographing their peers is like trying to put copyright on photons. And in all legislatures there is a law/amendment/clarification that every law described in it has to be enforced in a sane manner.
Well, that idea is great for indie devs aswell. In fact downloads are hellishly cheap (as distribution goes). this is a very effective strategy to get revenue of a game while still in development. Then, when development is finished, you can give users a full download. Users will play the game off the HDD through the browser (still having the option to natively push updates DLC etc) for a one off fee or free if the user has hit some quota.
Also, browser games should allow to take your game with you everywhere (mobile, hand held, living room). So they become more accessible in everyone's fragmented computer landscape.
The W3C has a lot of fronts to manage every time they progress some proposal. I have been following a handful of discussions (mostly on sockets and applications) and the amount of data and discussions that are monitored and moved around is very big. The W3C moves slow because the web can't break. So every new functionality or modified behavior has to be very well thought out.
BTW: I don't know if it was the version (aurora 9), or that i was on fedora, but the last time I visited the mozilla sound experiments nothing worked.
Well, screen grabbing software is processing and IO intensive, I can easily see a screen grabbing app bottleneck the (already highly utilized) CPU resulting in a 50-80% preformance loss. Don't forget that in order for webGL to offload data to the GPU, browser javascript has to do a lot of computation. So yes that claim is much more plausible than saying the same thing for a (flash) binary.
My "favourite" theory is now the characteristics of spatial energy spectrum of protons in the beam, and if that could possibly affect the shape of detected time distribution.
Didn't hear of that one, got any links? I have to say that when I read Contaldi's paper it sounded very plausible but since then I can't stop questioning if and why the teams didn't account for it or work their way around it. Also I hear a lot of people saying that OPERA did account for all the time shifts due do speed differentials but I can't find any sources for that, except the conference (which I didn't see, nor can find a transcript of). One other matter to think about is if the OPERA team actually knew about this time shift when they said they took all V related shifts into account...
Very true, if OPERA turns out to be correct (I still strongly doubt atm) we will be presented with many new paradoxes that can be examined and probably will have a new Theory for big objects in the next decade or even sooner.
Who nows, if this happens we might actually have a shot of coming up with one that also works for small objects good times.:-)
TFPDF says that they didn't account for the unsynching of the mobile TTD (Time Trasfer Device), which was used to synchronize the atomic clocks that did the measurement. That device started loosing time as it was being transported to the LNGS facility from CERN (through some complex gravitational effects). So the timestamp LNGS used to synch their detectors was 'some time' prior of the actual synch time. This lead to the smaller travel interval which computed the erroneus speed.
At least that is what they are theorizing.
But if they are right some members should look up the deffinition of troll, because I was right. NOTE: linked comment is this academic theory presented in very very lay man's terms.
1) stop comparing unequal things. no car of the 70s with the specs you describe was an affordable lower class automobile. 2) I'm not going to rescan the whole thread because you imply I should do, had you somewhere constructive to direct me you would have linked it. 3) I know blasting through a motorway (or city center) at 300kph is great fun, but a lap at the Nordschleife is just better. 4)Bumpers? Really? That is an argument? 5)Health, safety and environment are topics you should be staying way clear from while writing a pro America article...
actually in the 70s fast consumer cars were really really light. Think that a modern golf gti is almost twice the weight as it's history writing Mark I. The original mini is another example.
Only in America were cars big and heavy in the 70s, the rest of the world had gotten it right even back then.
Can't remember which maker but someone of those suits is pushing interchangeable battery liquids. Which is brilliant actually. it has two big advantages: A) You actually refuel your car in a couple of minutes B) No more battery degradation because the liquid gets replenished
Only thing that has to happen is the big petroleum merchants to dig a couple of tanks in each petrol station, one that get's charged and one that gets the used battery fluid and stores it for recycling.:-)
Wasn't the first Ferdinand Porsche prototype also an electric car? well.. ok, it was a hybrid but for 1901 you have to say they really had some ideas those zany Germans:-)
Why were you wrong? The Shockwave plugin hasn't been actively developed since 2006 (only maintenance and bugfix) all Director communities are gone/read-only. I think that, when describing a dead plugin, Shockwave pretty much is the definition.
Apparently the end of flash is night. I can remember adobe putting the 3D stage object (no pun here) into Shockwave right before they decided to abandon it.
Evidently adobe themselves subconsciously know that pushing the Flash plugin is pure wrong.:-)

This is good, not bad

AFAIK the amiga you are talking about is just interpreting MIDI signals.
Very, very different thing.

good times.
They did. Mostly.

no, I am a unicorn, I just said so
no, his progress is a logarithmic growth function. the last digit of the math will take eternity to calculate.
You are missing so many points here...
1) stop comparing unequal things. no car of the 70s with the specs you describe was an affordable lower class automobile.

just my 2c
You are four hours and twelve minutes delayed what happened? did you pass by some graffiti again?
facts? on shlapdot?

No, they laugh at you when they see you in that one. ;-)
Because they know that you are going to make the last third of the journeyon foot

No, after that Facebook is going to patnent
- having users
and inevitably
- keeping track
