Because court is boring, you're probably not going to end up in some exciting mafia hit case, and some of us like freedom, and you know, going to work and paying the rent.
Hey just coz they're getting the shaft too, doesn't mean we shouldn't be upset. At least they have a bill of rights, even though it's slowly getting corrupted. We've got no such thing to even challenge all these stupid things. We've no right to free speech, no protections against illegal searches, nothing. People who watch too much law-and-order think we have the same sort of protections, and so they don't get so upset when our new nanny-state overlords enact a bunch of new laws to protects us from ourselves (banning top selling RTDs), and the "tersts".
Fucking Rudd... Australia as a whole deserves it for voting him in, but that doesn't make it better:'(
Typedefs are not something I miss at all, but I'm at the front of the line hoping for reified generics in J7, although it seems like we might not be getting them:(
The fact that everything we know about physics says it can't happen doesn't mean it won't. No. In that you're correct. It does however mean that extra investigations will always lead to naught, so unless the plaintiff thinks we should never do it, he should frankly shut the hell up and let the experts (you know, high energy physiscists) make these sort of decisions.
I agree completely. What we need isn't less bots, it's more bots! Put scripting into the official client, and let people run riot. Probably work better in a Sci-fi MMO than WOW, but still. And if the scripts end up making the game no fun, then hire the best script writers, and kick your designers in the nuts.
Rather than rendering a complete cone (good idea btw), could you get better results (and AA) from ray tracing by simply splitting the rays and averaging results when they're X units long? X could also be a variable for performance tuning...
A year? You wish! Some programs are further behind than that. We're a couple of years behind in Top Gear, for example, and about 12 or 13 years behind in Iron Chef (unfortunately two of my fave programs).
TW, is this the same slashdot where trolltech was repeatedly accused for being "evil" trying to sell their SDK to commercial/closed source (some billion dollar) vendors? Are those people writing those comments taking a holiday or not very interested? Or if you are Apple dictating $100 even to freeware/opensource, 30% Soprano commission from a single store, dictating the _CPU_ and the OS to develop apps is OK?
Look, calm down. Look, it sucks, but Apple made a deal with AT&T to do whatever they can to stop sim unlocks, because AT&T are idiots and seem to think a "pay for 24 months" contract won't stick without a sim lock. It sucks, and now that Apple has so much clout (and some credibility) in mobile, iPhone 2 will probably favour Apple (and consumers) more. But the only way they can allow third party software is to veto it for sim unlocks, and somebody's gotta pay it. It sucks, but it's AT&T who're evil, not Apple.
If it's free to download the SDK and you use your own iPhone for development, unlocks will simply have to be distributed in source form. FOSS FTW!
Huh? I'm white as, and I love Kimchi. If Kimchi is the essence of Korean food, then it should be part of anybody's introduction to Korean food. Maybe Americans could just branch the fuck out, instead of trying to "westernise" their experience of other peoples' cultures. If you don't actually want to eat foreign food because it might be "icky" then don't. What's the point of having some dumbed down version?
Now, have a slice of vegemite on toast ya girls;-)
So, basically you agree with me. Why the long post? I don't understand the "3G is basically frivolous" comment, since it doesn't make any sense. It's 3G so I get bandwidth. I can watch the cricket. I can connect to a quality network from my MBP. It's true the built in browser is not much good, but I've used n95s, and except for the black one, they're the same as the n72. Awesome features for a phone including multitasking, but everything is as as slow as molasses, and it'll randomly crash when there's 3 apps open at once. Not to mention that your average user won't know that apps are still open and simply in the background when you hit the "end" button, it must happen more often to regular people than us nerds.
Slow and annoying, but I sure do miss keeping a Symbian MSN client in the background:)
I don't usually take the word of "lowly repair techs", but this fault *is* known, and there's a recall in a coupe of EU countries because of this particular fault.
If you want old Power mac, go 12" G4 PB. Not iBook. Hell it's your money, but take my word for it.
I've got a KRZR, it's miniscule for a 3G phone, and they've been out for about a year now.
But then again, the iPhone is already a brick, I wouldn't use any other phone that size. But I'm definitely buying an iPhone when they're available in Australia, I've got a Touch and it's basically ruined all crippled mobile browsing. Even on my old n-series nokia which was miles ahead of anything else it's still terrible compared to mobile safari. And I'm never giving up my iTunes iPod synching for ratings, podcasts, etc...
I have to disagree, the iBooks are most definitely *less* strong than the powerbooks! There's a design flaw that causes the motherboard to eventually crack if it gets picked up too often with one hand. Apple knows about this, and sometimes the lower-level grunts will admit it when you're getting your motherboard replaced for the nth time, Apple even replaced my iBook with a MacBook after the third time it died.
Why else do you think the MBP looks more or less like a 700mhz powerbook, ditto the Mac Pro, but the Macbook is an all new design? If you google around you'll see it's a design flaw and fairly well documented in various (non Apple-moderated) user forums.
BTW I now have a 15" Santa Rosa MacBook Pro, and can't recommend it highly enough. It's solid as a rock, and thin and light for a laptop with this much power.
Bah! Daikatana sucked, we all know. But there's Prey. That game was announced alongside UNREAL. It was so long in the past, I was asking around a couple of years ago and none of my (huge gaming nerd) mates even remembered it. It was announced in the day of the SNES and I've got it on 360. It's a great game! Not a classic along the lines of DN3D or Doom, but it's a helluva lot of fun.

Centering content of known-height is not difficult in CSS, but that's not all that useful, either.
2. Unless of course you want to vertically centre something... Then tables are your only option on most browsers.

Erm, no, we don't. Speak for yourself buddy. An unarmed population is an oppressed population.

In an ideal world:
ArrayList.getClass() != ArrayList.getClass()
What vendor lockin? It's bloody python (and eventually java etc I'm sure) for fuck's sake. You can always go back to your own server if you like.

I'm afraid the government + media combo has done that already.

I'm afraid you're not maintaining the correct level of obed^H^H^H^H fear, citizen. Please come with me.

It certainly does suck, apparently.
Note to self: proof-reading also FTW.

Max's interceptor was an XB Falcon, not a Monaro. Don't let any aussie Ford supporters hear you say that.

All we know is that we've lost contact with the colony on LV-426 and that a scramjet may have been involved.
Excuse me sir, a what?
A scramjet. It see-
It's a cocktease.

It wasn't broken at all, was it?
