What a lousy headline. First, I read it and thought it was a cute way of saying that Netbeans 7 supports Ruby (Ruby dropped into soup, thus there is now a ruby in the soup). The following both communicates that Ruby was in earlier versions and is now gone:
Ruby Dropped from Netbeans 7
Could even throw in the word support, making it even clearer.
Also, let's correct this quote in the summary: "they're selling more ebook licenses than paperback books". Give me a real book I can lend/sell/give away.
The atack was carried out to the music of Hans Zimmer?
You know, you've got me thinking about him. He's done the music for dozens of movies that involve violence. I think Mr. Zimmer should take some of the blame for terrorism.
Well, as a start, they can present their proposal without the annoying-as-hell double-spaced lines. That's painful to read any more than a few sentences of.
Games might affect the exact target of these extremists, but they are not the cause of their extremism. It's their extremism that is leads them to kill innocent people. I can't help but think of water precipitating in the atmosphere. "It's that grain of dust that caused that drop to precipitate! If it hadn't been for that grain of dust, this drop wouldn't have precipitated somewhere else."
Seems like their blame on games is like when there's a bully that nobody wants to deal with, so their anger towards him is directed at other things. Like if the bully threatens to beat someone up if anyone goes near the soda machines, you blame the kid who went near the soda machines for causing someone to get beat up, because you're too cowardly to confront the bully.
I have to say, the PS3 has been the most entertaining console so far. And I've never even played one. Again, I have to thank Sony for putting on such a good show in its futile attempts with DRM. OK, back to watching the show...
My father received a new Sony digital camera for Christmas that can do some neat things. I was checking the type of battery and memory cards it uses, and I couldn't believe that it didn't use standard SD memory cards as every other camera does; it's some proprietary Sony crap. Oh well, don't look a gift horse in the mouth...
I'd say another thing that distinguishes the US from a free market is that property owners have tons of restrictions on what they can do with their property. A business can influence how these restrictions are written so that they favor the business and disfavor others, thus destroying competition.
'It seemed to me to be pretty obvious that you could scan the heart structure, model it with a CAD routine, then use RP [rapid prototyping] to create a former on which to manufacture a device,' explained Golesworthy. 'In a sense, conceptually, it was very simple to do. Actually engineering that was significantly more complex.'
Golesworthy believes that projects such as this demonstrate that the interface between engineers and the rest of the world isn't functioning in the way it should. 'When it does function, huge advances can be made in a very short time period, on very little money,' he said. 'We have changed the world for people with aortic dilation and we have done it on a fraction of the cost.'
In May 2004, Golesworthy became the first recipient of his own invention after undergoing surgery at the Royal Brompton Hospital. Since then, 23 patients have successfully had the implant fitted and another seven are hoping to undergo the procedure. According to Golesworthy, the technique will soon replace the Bentall procedure and could be used to treat other heart conditions.
Wrapping the aorta with artificial material isn't a new idea. More than 20 years ago, US surgeon Francis Robicsek attempted to fashion an external, hand-tailored support for the aorta. The proposal was made before the widespread use of CAD, MRI and RP. Materials such as polypropylene, nylon and knitted Dacron were proposed, with Dacron being the most popular. However, attempting to accurately recreate the shape of the aorta using material cut during surgery proved extremely difficult and the technique never caught on. Instead, off-the-shelf composite valve conduits were offered as a more realistic solution. 'Technology has allowed us to revisit the idea,' said Golesworthy. 'The aorta is such an extraordinary shape that you can't possibly do it by a "taking a yoghurt pot I prepared earlier'. The only way was to bring scanning, CAD and RP together.'
Pedantic question: isn't unlimited always a lie, since the bandwidth is always finite? If they offer you a 5 Mbps connection, then the maximum you can download in a month is around 1.5 TB, even if they don't cap you?
It's a good idea. It would reduce costs: you could have an automated program that constantly scanned people's activities for anything non-conformant. This would ensure that nobody deviated from the accepted norms, and would help make it even easier to catch anyone who did (due to obvious mental problems). This would make our lives safer. In fact, it might be best if we just locked people in individual cells, that way they couldn't hurt each other, and would have very few unexpected things happen to them. After all, safety, security, lack of fear are the ultimate good.
The other large group identified in the study were people (such as from copyright enforcement agencies) who uploaded fake content to frustrate other users.
This has me wondering: since there is lots of "fake" content out there, isn't it now somewhat defensible that when you tried to download avatar.avi you were looking for one of the fake ones, and not the real one?
Never mind that, the things they call success are those things that self-control plays a central role in: following the law, and being financially and healthfully well-off. Up next, they found that kids who breathed oxygen had a much higher survival rate into adulthood than kids who breathed argon.
I've found that blocking images.slashdot.org, a.fsdn.com, c.fsdn.com, and s.fsdn.com, and using the classic (D1) view with JavaShit disabled, it loads quite quickly (and it should, as it goes from around 300-400K to about 76K to load for the main page). Sure, it looks like crap, but it works and there's not lots of Web 2.0 crap. Though it seems now none of the stories on the main page show the number of comments. Oh well. What do you expect when the world is constantly moving towards more bloated, frilly designs?
Sounds like a browser deficiency (not that flowing headers/footers aren't annoying). It should see how much vertical space is actually visible and scroll based on that.
No. A fine is payment after you do something that actually causes damages. It's like paying your neighbor when your kid hits a baseball through his window. The proposed tax would be on software itself, without any damage done to anything. A fine is part of a basic property rights system, where violations result in punishment. It's feedback for actual damage, not the mere potential for damage.
On the books it'll look like they spent it all on expanding and improving the infrastructure but virtually nobody will see an improvement.
No, then they'll alter the way they interpret the data or change definitions (redefine broadband or something, it's the new rage, see 3G/4G for an example) so that it now looks like things have improved.

Heh. A scythe tends to tear up fabric pretty badly.

Wait, you're saying that The Last Starfighter wasn't real, that all these years I've practiced Asteroids isn't going to help save us from the Big One?
Funny, I hadn't realized that Wikileaks was involved in typography as well.
In a decade or two once peak oil has hit and the economies have crashed, we'll all be thanking Farmville for teching people how to grow crops.
Build a man a fire and he's warm for the day;
set a man afire and he's warm for the rest of his life.
As long as it handles it without fail for the rest of his life, isn't that long enough? Oh, wait...

No, you'll have to buy that, by having to pay more for your internet connection. But it's for your own good. This will protect you from yourself.

Hmmm, I realized it's nitrogen. Is it liquified as well? Would it freeze everything like in The Terminator 2 as it rapidly expanded?
