Shouldn't the safest choice be on the right? The rightmost button appears in the same place in every window, so it's the easiest button to locate and click. The position of the leftmost button depends on the number and width of the other buttons.
I would rather she say something like, "While this particular law has been ruled unconstitutional, we remain dedicated to preventing the sale of violent games to children."
Rep. Mary Lou Dickerson wrote this law and said, "While we may have lost this one battle in the sale of violent games against children, the war is far from over."
What kind of idiot uses violent metaphors to describe their initiatives against violence?
Normally I think being a grammar nazi is stupid, but in this case the error was bad enough that the sentence didn't make sense. Yeah, it's annoying when someone writes "loose" instead of "lose," or when they're confused about their theres. But palimerary? This is beyond poor spelling. I honestly wasn't certain about what the word was supposed to be.
I haven't seen Tiger but I've been a Mac programming hobbyist since the late 80s, and I have doubts that Spotlight will succeed. Unless the API is really, really easy to use, I think Spotlight will end up in the same bin as AppleScript: a few applications will support it really well, but most applications won't support it at all. Are there any registered developers here who can comment on Spotlight's ease-of-use from a programming standpoint?
DC induces muscular tetanus. It makes the affected muscles tense and freeze that way until you stop being shocked. This can be problematic when you're holding onto a piece of wire, because your hands will clamp onto it with all their strength. The same thing happens to your heart: it tenses and stays that way, stopping entirely.
AC also induces muscular tetanus, but there are brief moments at the zero-crossing where your muscles relax. This provides an opportunity for you to let go of the wire. However, AC has a greater tendency than DC to cause fibrillation, and a "frozen" heart has a better chance of recovery than a fibrillating one.
Extended edition? You mean I saw the short version!?

There's nothing disturbing about it; Apple has been doing this since their first release and it's not to slant the playing field. They keep parts of their APIs secret when they aren't ready to commit to supporting them. As soon as a function is documented, they have to provide backwards compatibility for it in future versions of the OS.
It's also possible that these particular functions aren't meant to be used as API per se, but are just internal support functions. Maybe they're part of fast user switching. Who knows?
When you write a library, do you document every single function? No, because some of those functions only exist to support the public functions. For any moderately complex system, there are going to be many more private functions than there are public, documented functions.

His complaints should be directed at this organization, not Windows. Switching operating systems will not fix their support tech's apparent inability to present a cogent argument to his budget people.
I do this in my stick-shift too, though not on the freeway (I live in a small town). There's a leg on my drive home that's always backed up at a stop sign -- stop n' go like nothing else. If I shift into first and let the engine idle, I catch up to the car in front of me right as it starts accelerating. It makes people behind me crazy and I can't understand why.
I guess it's just more evidence of the superiority of stick-shift drivers.;-)
no where is it written in the Constitution or any other civil documents that individuals are entitled to privacy
This very statement is why many people were opposed to the Bill of Rights. They thought it would limit people's rights. One subtle but important fact of the Bill of Rights is that it does not grant rights to anyone, it only lists them. You have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness inherently. You were born with it. This right wasn't granted to you by a piece of paper. The Bill of Rights simply declares that which is already so.
It is entirely possible that they left one or two things out.
Um, no, actually we won't. The point of this is to integrate the iPod with the car's existing controls. You don't even have to remove your hands from the steering wheel to control your iPod. Looks like we've got morons fumbling for criticism though.
Let's not forget that NASA does more than space. The A is for Aeronautics. Aviation would be a much different discipline without NASA's contributions to aeronautical research, in particular airfoil design and safety of flight. Just this past winter I picked up a free DVD produced by NASA on aircraft structural icing, how to avoid it, and what to do if it occurs.
NASA's space program is far more noticeable than their aeronautics endeavors, but this is not a reflection of the amount of work done in either area. Their ASRS program is an important part of aviation safety research. They are examining ways to make quieter jet engines. They are working on ways to improve the efficiency of our air traffic control system.
You seem like a concerned citizen. If you want to find out more about what NASA is up to, I recommend you start by reading their aeronautics blueprint.

Why didn't you just use an <object> tag?
It doesn't have an off button because it doesn't need one. It turns itself off after you pause it.
Rutan's designs are certainly extraordinary, but damn, I want one of these!
I suppose it would help if I read all the replies before posting my own. :-)

Yeah, but they still won't engrave "Bad Motherfucker." Bastards.

It's true. The installation process for Office on a Mac consists of one step: "Drag this folder to your Applications folder."
As much as I hate to admit it, Microsoft's Mac team is pretty good.

Oddly enough, Mac OS X 10.3.4 uses Darwin Kernel 7.4.0.
