Is it scientifically valid to anthropomorphize science? Wow, no wonder you posted as AC...that's maybe the most retarded thing I've read in this thread so far (and that's saying quite a lot).

I think the ASCII mode would have been cooler if they'd run the edge detect first. As it was, it seemed like the majority of the information rendered was in the brightness of the characters, not in the choice of character for each position.
...it will be used against (intentional word choice) children/teenagers to enforce a parent/group's own set of values upon the youngster who might not even share them? That's called "raising" a child, and it's generally accepted in most places that parents have that right.
So there's the guy who thought his cd-rom tray was a cup holder, the lady who thought the mouse was a foot pedal, and the guy who thought you could fax a document by holding it up to the screen.
Right--this comic is making fun of America way moreso than Islam (Lola's list of things she's not going to be is the caricature of the silly self-absorbed American girl). It seems that simply mentioning Islam is too frightening these days. Not encouraging.
As long as they can get away with offering sub-par connectivity at premium prices, what incentive do they have to rock the boat? The only thing that can induce these telcos to make costly infrastructure upgrades is competition, which is in pretty short supply currently.
I just bought 2 packs from (speak of the devil) Walmart last week.
Guess what? There is a delay.. maybe a second or so - and then on top of that it takes them about a minute to get up to full brightness. So the 100W equivalent CFL's I have put out (guesstimate) 20W of incandescent equivalent light. I keep my house at 70F. When the bulbs have been operating and are up to about (guesstimate) 100F, they turn on with about a 1/4 second delay. Who keeps their house at 100F? Sounds like I have significantly better bulbs than you do. I don't remember when/where I bought them, but they say "Commercial Electric" on them...who the hell are they? I guess they can make a good bulb, whoever they are...
The delay is pretty much a thing of the past. The ones in my house turn on instantaneously, as far as I can detect. If they are very, very cold (way colder than you'd ever let it get inside your house), it can take maybe half a second.
So they took out the perl bindings. The reason (as I understand it) why there's no working gimp-perl under Win32 is that the bindings don't work right in that environment. Are they changing the way it works so that it's more Win32-friendly? Or just taking out something that not enough people used?
And let's just think about this, how many products does the second group sell? A handful. The first group sells many tens of thousands. I don't think the "anti-telemarketer product bloc" is much of a dominant political force.

(1) Gore has been campaigning for decades on the subject. He didn't win the Nobel for An Inconvenient Truth.
(2) There is a direct and (one would think, but perhaps not) obvious connection here: global climate change --> scarce resources --> wars.
Al Gore has been campaigning for awareness of climate change for a long time.
He didn't win the award for An Inconvenient Truth.
am glad I getted the chance to welcome our new, regularly-conjugated overlords.

True, but not exactly relevant to this discussion. Conventional poly-based 3D rendering is parallel, too. SLI setups take advantage of that already.
...but how many giant media corporations are behind it? None? Bummer.

That last guy should have patented it!

The telcos will, individually, if they find that without doing so they'll be at a competitive disadvantage. Under any other scenario, not a chance.

Competitive advantage.

Because you expect it from the Republicans.

...does it take to change your light bulbs?
Now a 100 watt transformer is smaller than a golf ball and makes less heat.
So...how much heat does a golf ball make, exactly?
dipshit.

The IMAX by my house is currently running "Antz in 3D". However, a little web searching reveals that it isn't the entire movie:
If you enjoyed the movie 'ANTZ' in 1998 then the 3D rendition of the bar scene during which the entire colony dances together will amaze you.
Still, it's only a little way from what you describe...I'm sure it won't be long.
