I don't understand that complaint about sound in space...
No sane space combat interface designer would leave out a sense so important to humans as sounds. Imagine you're sitting in a spacecraft fighting reds; one of them far away shoots at you.
You can hear the railgun fire as soon as your spacecraft detects the shot. Now imagine the cockpit is silent but for the shots that hit your hull.
Do you still have complaints about sound in space?
If you want to create purely generic libraries in C++, it's hairy... But as a _USER_ of those libraries, the templates are not that bad (and actually really neat imo).
The real problem has been bad error checking, but this is being corrected with the 'concepts' part of c++0x. (which seem likely to be released in '09) Once a template library has converted, it will catch type error's, etc, at a sane place and produce humanly readable error messages.
It's not cognitive dissonance, it's called imagination. The ability to imagine how the iPhone would be if it didn't drop all the time. It is that which he is in love with.
Because there are so many ways in which someone not intending to buy it ends up paying $1000. Imagine someone browsing apps, and ends up looking at this app.
Now imagine, the iPhone is now a $1000 trap. Touch the wrong place and you end up eating cup-noodles for the next two months.
Also it makes good business sense for Apple to keep that app off its site. Nothing worse than customers being _AFRAID_ of browsing your site.
Difference being, you're not going to be picking up cat shit coffee in the supermarket, go to the counter and suddenly realize you've spent $10.000 on a pound of coffee.
You actually need to actively _seek_ that coffee. That is not the case of the You Got Suckered app here. It's actually fairly close to entrapment of the customer, creating a minefield where a careless click could cost you quite a lot of money.
Next up, I'll be placing a device outside of your house that will charge you $100 every time you step on it. It will be camuflaged and I'll move it around every morning. Be careful.
I don't grief yet I find it enjoyable to play. (non-carebear industrialist) Think of the griefers as NPC's, as if AI had advanced (or receded) 100 years. They are your opponents in the game.
If you keep thinking of the other players as 'intruding on _YOUR_ game', you'll never understand EVE. The players are the game, not the brainless rats.
No... Let's say you use 10 minutes of constant read/write activity for your benchmark.
Now, consider how much power this uses. Probably going to put the flash and platter HDD's quite close in power consumption. (As this test shows)
Then consider a RL example; writing the same amount of data, intermittently over a period of an hour. The flash drive uses pretty much the same amount of power, while the platter drive needs to keep itself spinning for 50 minutes extra.
Now, a normal laptop would probably be doing it's hibernating, etc, directly from ram, thus you'd probably get even more power efficiency out of the flash drive than the example above.
Exactly... The thing about spinning platters is that it takes energy to start up _and_ keep it spinning. So obviously doing read/write 100% of the time would bias towards the conventional hard drives.
Hell, even read/write 10% of the time is too much for normal usage.
I don't know what kind of ero-manga you've been reading (Ok, perhaps I do...), but real boobs aren't spherical. Especially not ones that would be anywhere near being considered 'perfect'.

As you know... Today's satiric mock religion is tomorrow's one-and-only true religion, so praise the spaghetti.
Exactly, 14 is too young... Please only show 16 year old kids in tight cloths bending every way!

Talking about killer app for IPv6, and yet forgetting the greatest potential one that you've linked in your sig; the iPhone.
It's not cognitive dissonance, it's called imagination. The ability to imagine how the iPhone would be if it didn't drop all the time. It is that which he is in love with.
And it can be fixed.
You are already lost to propaganda...
Labeling someone a terrorist, no matter how 'apt' the description is, does not really justify shooting an unarmed person several times at close range.
No, fat people are those that came along, but forgot to evolve their brains. So now they got all this excess energy with no place to go.
'A couple of generations', what is this, instant-evolution? Close cousine of instant-ramen?

Well, you'd rather have it in the air?
Looking around me, not finding that much plastic bags lying around... Actually pretty much none.

Err.... Obviously they named it after the color blue/green.
Why?... Is there something special with that number relevant to what you quoted?
His point is like a package from HP... Lot's of useless packaging but somewhere in there lies a small kernel of relevance.
Your task is to unpack and find it.
Yes I totally
agree,
It is
so much better to
put
a lot of vertical
space
between lines.
Yeah... Where the hell are those damn anti-gravity devices we were promised!

No, I specifically said 'the really creepy kind of manga', nothing about 'porn' in that. When I said 'ero-manga', I _did_ talk about porn.
See the difference?
I wasn't talking about porn exclusively...
And if you think it's not even remotely connected to pornographic material, look up hentaiseiyoku, or search for hentaimanga (in kanji/katakana).
I don't hear that used by the japanese people around me, but they're generally not the kind of people that frequent akihabara.
Please don't go around trying to be witty against people who don't just live in Japan, but also speaks the language.
Ero-manga is what they call it. If I wanted to talk about hentai, the really creepy kind of mangas, I'd have called it that.
