I know white folks who voted for Obama, essentially, because it'd be so progressive to have a black president.
Elections have always had ties to demographics. The fact that the demographic in question in this case was "black" doesn't really change anything -- it just makes people wank about it more.
You could do it by listening for *two* impulses, or an impulse followed by some other noise (the thing getting hit)... dunno how hard that would be though.
Seriously, wtf. D2 sold gajillions of copies and had working single player and LAN. You could be sitting out in the middle of the desert with a solar panel and a netbook and play with your friends.
Huh, so a Windows keyboard works, but an Apple-brand one doesn't? So much for that legendary "it all just works!" thing. And look above -- another guy can't get them to work, either.
I've not had this problem with any Windows or Linux system. Ever. Hell, from the questions Ubuntu asks, it'll manage to support a Klingon keyboard layout if I happen to have one lying around.
Nope. Just iTerm, so it's still a fail. iTerm, incidentally, is better than the shitty terminal that comes with OSX, but you can smash the stack in it easily: running cat on a big binary file by accident results in ALL of your open terminals dying. From the errors thrown as it dies I bet there's a buffer overflow exploit lurking there.
Also, it handles the death of ssh very very badly -- tabs just freeze. Since it's a Mac and turns off every time you close the lid, with no way I can find to make it stay on, this happens all the time.
Linux Mint is a great example of this. You put the CD in, install it in ten minutes, and bam! you have a working desktop that doesn't suck. If you want it to do something else -- like, say, not suspend to ram when you close the lid -- you can change it. If you don't like Gnome, you can install whatever the hell else you want.
I dunno, I have a Mac that I have to use for work, and the UI sucks balls.
Besides: does this "ease of use" explain why I had to enter in fucking arcane escape sequences into the configs to make the Home, End, PgUp, and PgDn keys on my keyboard work?

Seconded -- I've been using it since I got an Android phone a few weeks ago, and it does what it does competently without much fuss.
Well, they distributed it -- by accident, sure, but they did -- to folks other than Iran.
The information was leaked because the malware got out. Nobody "leaked" Stuxnet, other than Stuxnet itself.
The trick is coming up with a way that costs substantially less than a penny each to keep track of all those pennies.
A couple of hours isn't enough time to decide that something is conclusively good, but it is enough time to be convinced that something is crap.
Why the heck do you need 130KW for 4 blade servers?

I imagine that there is a whole lot of overlap between the acoustic profiles of gunshots and other impulse-type sounds.
Ultimately, a gunshot and a backfire both sound like "impulse convolved with some transfer function depending on the local environment".
A gunshot has a very wide frequency spread. Basically, take the Fourier transform of a delta function...
There have always been big disparities in wealth, and that in itself doesn't indicate anything pathological about a society.
So, wait. Was this really just a
"YBHT. YHL. HAND. -Uncle Sam (pbuh)" thing?
Hm, I can't seem to get to skidrow's website. Are they slashdotted?
This crack allows actual singleplayer, right? This is relevant to my interests since my ISP is so lossy (~20% packet loss) that I can only play SP.
but ... but ... but pirates!

They in fact don't even scroll the viewport half the time. In Firefox, for instance, they just do nothing.
Hell, I spend most of my time in ssh, anyway (talking to clusters). Scrolling the viewport doesn't get me to the bottom of my file in vi.
Step 1: Turn on Macbook
Step 2: Plug Apple-brand keyboard into it
Step 3: Notice that the "home" and "end" keys on that keyboard don't work
There's no room for "using it wrong" here. There are buttons on an Apple-brand keyboard that do nothing when plugged into a Macbook, without hackery.
This.

Is that "just works?"
I think not.
Why not let people choose what they want?
Some people want an optical drive. Some people don't. Some people want a SSD. Some people want a hard drive with 10x the capacity for half the cost.
Actually, yeah -- I bet that's it. It's not optical problems; it's a delay between the images of each color channel.
Not sure why they should take 30 minutes each, though.
Well, that's fine. That's why this is cool. They just need a lens that does just as well.
Holy chromatic aberration. You'd think an organization capable of blasting things into space could do a bit better than that.
Jobs wasn't an innovator. He came up with a few UI tricks using engineering advances that other people did the hard physics for.
What Jobs was was a marketer, and a good one.
