It's better to compare the output from two photographers, who each have the same bag of kit, and are in the same environment at the same time. Clearly they have the potential of capturing the exact same photo. You appear to think that photographers have no input in selecting the exact location, exact time, exact field of view, exact depth of focus, etc. for their photo.
Go on a photo walk some time with some photography nerds - you'll find that almost everyone comes back with something different and unusual, despite the fact that they were all in the same place at the same time.
> So encountering Mars just makes the furthest part of its orbit (which is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay out beyond Pluto) a little closer or farther.
But not any other part of the orbit? So it will continue in the same orbit as before, but then at the very far end witll suddenly take a quick detour to the new perturbed position, and then dart back to its old orbit?
Because that's what you have written, and it's clearly complete tosh.
Any perturbation of the motion of the comet as it approaches mars will change *the entire orbit* of the commit, to a greater or lesser degree. Too great a change in the ecentricity, and the earth's orbit can clearly easily be crossed. It could even be turned into a sun-grazer, or emitted from the solar system entirely on a hyperbolic orbit. Please do some research into the insolvability of the three-body problem before making such absurd "absolute" claims.
Singles have never had it so good: http://pampelmoose.com/mimg/download_singles.jpg (At the expense of albums, admittedly, but that will hopefully teach record labels to not attempt to fob of the punters with fluff.)
99.9% is between 7 and 8 hours down-time a month (which is the unit they measure in). If it took them 12 hours to get new certificates up, then they are not keeping their promise, they are failing.
Of course, if that downtime coincides with your working hours, that's an entire working day down. It's a shitty level of service. Nobody hosting their own services, and having skilled staff managing their systems, would find that acceptable. I will admit that 99.999% uptime/connectivity is hard (we've had it one year in the last decade), I'm never satisfied with anything less than 99.99% uptime. The majority of the downtime is because of something beyond my control (electricity to the whole suburb goes, ISP drops off the net, etc.)
I have a shitty old IBM T43 laptop (effectively made by Lenovo, but before the brand changed), and for a laugh I stuck a white Apple(tm) logo on it in the same place and orientation as on WankBooks for a laugh. Yes, the laptop's black, and clearly says IBM in the corner, but several people have said "I didn't expect to see you with a Mac!?" when seeing me with it. And I don't expect the average burglar to be any smarter that them. I always lock it away when I leave the flat, even though I know it wouldn't even raise 10e at the pawn shop.
Indeed. All the scientific data they need in order to evaluate correlations and risks is available in the well-respected peer-reviewed journals. Unfortunately (and I hope your crap joke detector is flashing red now), those journals have been classified as over-sized magazines, and are now banned.
Agreed. In their video they say it's like a pen, but that's totally bogus. A pen or pencil works and is easy to use because you are rigidly resting upon the writing surface, and typically because there's friction providing nevative feedback to your movements. Neither of those attributes (rigidity & friction) applies to a device that's you're just dangling in mid-air.
The 770 wasn't even "maemo", it was "osso" IIRC. It's entirely possible the early 2000s tablet never reached the market I know that Nokia was discussing such devices with its partners back at the time, and that instances of it have been seen (and touched).
Nope. But clearly (yes, that's the sign for impending sarcasm) all shop owners who've suffered robberies should have the right to sue the local councils who maintain the roads that the get-away cars drive on.
I hate to do this, but I have to point you in the direction of Tomi Ahonen's god-awful blog. During the height of his ranting about a year or two ago, whilst focussed on showing how Nokia was so far advanced compared to Apple, he mentioned such things. (You can tell, I'm not prepared to wade through his gibbering to find it.)
The last time I used a MS Windows machine, I'm sure I opened a PDF in IE. I seem to remember that being a newish feature at the time, but, given my history with OSes, that was still about 10 years ago.
Being a decade behind your competitor is pretty tragic in the IT world.
"identifying a user profile associated with the file"
They'll never get any royalty money from me, then. My system is completely different. Mine identifies a group profile associated with the file. Yes, I only have one user in each group currently, why do you ask?

In part, certainly.

Yes, the single point of failure works!
But I thought "the cloud" wasn't supposed to have a single point of failure, otherwise it would be just a "remote server" rather than "the cloud"?
And your company is so desperate to receive bitcoins that you post anonymously so that nobody can do business with you?

does that mean "for not starting any new wars" in plain English?

And where all technology is considered new even if others were doing it years ago.
Rigidity, dear boy. Rigidity.

Or is it Stockholm Syndrome? How long was he a hostage of the Republican party?
(Random aside - I typed "Stockhausen Syndrome" initially, and was briefly very confused by that.)

Can't you stick JavaScript in PDF files?
So, does the javascript PDF interpreter interpret the JavaScript in the PDF files, possibly in a sandbox, or does it simply eval() it?

There was a C compiler? All I remember on the system was emacs, scheme, and mail (probably news too).
If that's supposed to be funny - shouldn't there be a punch line?
I'll get me coat...
No, way before the n770. And no, a proper tabled, not a PDA-format one.
And you'd be right. The hair and ebullience may be different, but there's something that they unmistakably share.
