I suffer from this, and I'm thinking maybe I'm just going to load up Tetris on a two-display mirrored setup, make something out of cardboard so that each eye can only see one of the displays, then use paper to cover relevant part of each screen. Might work.
Tried this on my test machine, and it appears to be true. What The Hell. This completely wrecks my workflow for creating playlists (which was to have library open in one window, playlist in another, and to drag files from the library into the right place on the playlist).
For fnord's sake. It seems that these days every update from Apple ends up just frustrating me. Not installing this one either, just like Safari 6 (no RSS, again WTF?)
The minute social networks start behaving like email (that is, work with protocols that communicate but anyone can actually run a server, preferably one of many available flavors) I'll get into them. Not before. Diaspora seems to be going that way, but I haven't yet gotten around to setting up a pod of my own.
Helium 3 is deposited on the lunar surface by solar winds and would have to be extracted from moon soil and rocks.
To extract helium 3 gas the rocks have to be heated above 800 degrees Celsius.
Dr Taylor says 200 million tonnes of lunar soil would produce one tonne of helium.
Anyone bother to check how much energy it takes to heat 200 million tonnes of lunar soil to 800 degrees Celsius? My (very rusty) physics knowledge says it takes a lot more energy than the energy supposedly gained from that helium.
Extraterrestrial starship captain. Can't go any further than that;-)
Yes you can. No captain at all. The entire ship is run by a committee... or it could be an anarchy... or a group mind... Hmm, this might even get me to watch the series for an episode or two.
Doom also had something Quake and its successors never got: Zillions Of Enemies coming to kill you all at once. You don't get that in any shooters these days; I guess it would just be too taxing on the computer to have 100 monsters in 3D at the same time.
This really is a shame. Way back when Quake came out, I was pissed that fighting the monsters was like chainsawing a sperm whale: all dem bluddy critters had a billion hit points since there were less of them. Killng them was slow and often boring. Not like Doom, where you could blow things away with a single blast from your shotgun but since your enemies were a legion, you didn't feel any safer. One demon, piece of cake. 10 demons, time to worry. 25 demons - run.
Wish id found some way to do hundreds of critters in Doom 3.
See, Blade and MIB are Marvel comics (eg, comic books published by a particular nigh bankrupt publishing giant.) But they are not Marvel Universe (eg, comics or books set in the fictional world containing the Fantastic Four, X-MEN, Avengers, etc.)
Um, Blade in the comics is actually very much a part of the Marvel Universe.
I just sent Gates a letter telling him to F*** him**** and publicly proclaimed I will never us a M$ product again (which ain't such a bad idea anyway). If it is a joke it's in bad taste.
Um, Illiad never claimed Microsoft was suing User Friendly. In fact, he explicitly refused to name the party threatening him.
User Friendly, Segfault and BeDope are all closed. All of their front pages say the same thing. It's April 1st. Obvious, now that you think of it...
As long as Intel does not sell the lists or anything, I'm fine with it. If you use a credit card for illigal purposes, you should be tracked and same with a computer.
Funny that this should be posted by an Anonymous Coward...

I for one have no problem with you augmenting your eyes, ears and memory. I do have a bit of a problem with Google sharing your augmentations.
Honestly, I would have no problem with a wearable, even always-on camera. It's the Google's panopticon bit I have reservations with.

The only time I stop playing my game is when not doing so would be to the permanent detriment to my gaming environment.
All in all this means I play my game about 18 hours a day. Thats right, 18 goddamn hours. I sleep for the other 6.
So did your character post this or did you do it while sleeping?
I can believe 54,000 grand.
I cannot. 54 grand I just might.
As a newbie sysadmin, I feel I'm living in an Infocom adventure for some reason. Here's a write-up of my work day about a week ago.
Shouldn't that be "China Blocks iTunes Store"? What is this, Internet News by Joe Sixpack?
Choice 1: Over react and be labeled a fascist.
Choice 2: Do nothing and be blamed when people die.
Dude, those are not the only available options. I'd choose "react reasonably".
I wonder what happens when this bot discovers that it's a physical object, and can try and manipulate itself.
(... yeah, baby robot masturbation... but no, seriously...)
