Not to mention these issues, just imagine the fun they and the rest of the crew will have when they need to catch globs of bodily fluids flying around the craft.
Jurassic Park misrepresented a lot of dinosaurs. They probably just scanned a lot of dinosaur references and took the looks that would look good in a movie, not really taking much into account how they lived besides the basics.
Same with JP3 and Spinosaurus:
In Jurassic Park III, it is portrayed as a lethal and dangerous killer, even winning a battle with a Tyrannosaurus. However as noted above, despite its length, it was more lightly built than Tyrannosaurus and other theropods, and its elongated jaws and conical teeth suggest it may have largely eaten fish, or else fed on carrion, rather than being a hunter of large prey like Tyrannosaurus.
Dilophosaurus:
Dilophosaurus was also included in the 1993 movie Jurassic Park (and the book by Michael Crichton on which the film was based). It sported a retractable frill around its neck, much like a frilled lizard, and was able to spit poison, aiming for the eyes to blind and paralyse its prey. There is no evidence to support this representation.
T Rex:
In the film Jurassic Park the T. rex seems to be running nearly as fast as the jeep, at around 40 mph (64 km/h). However, the time between strides is too small to reach that speed, unless it is taking impossibly large steps. The real speed of the animal (1015 mph, 1624 km/h) seems much higher by some kind of optical illusion. This has been asserted by the moviemakers and Hutchinson and Garcia [10].
In the novel,the T. rex has a very long prehensile tongue like contemporary giraffes. It uses this at one point for pulling Tim Murphy into its mouth. This is purely speculative and would only be good for very small prey that was either cornered are very weak, as it is apparenly weak and slow.
One of the films' most famous sequences are the appearances of ripples in bodies of water, accompanied by an earth-vibrating boom, indicating the footsteps of an approaching T.rex. If a T. rex were an ambush predator, perhaps in reality it would disguise its noisemaking.
There are probably more stuff too...
In the end, it's just an action movie and should be treated as such.
Tier 1 ISPs own huge swaths of networks-- literally miles and miles of cable, and sometimes radio and other links. They route the traffic across these lines.
It was maybe 2 hours or so before new routing tables started spreading to bypass Level3's and Verio's networks, and afterwards it started stabilizing again, then it seems Level3 has since then woke up again. The XO network also had routing troubles from this btw, maybe more too. Sites and services such as AOL, SpeakEasy (when asked, they were stumped and could only say it affected all their customers, hehe), Google, and Wikipedia had access problems depending on where you lived during this timeframe.
Umm, Wikipedia was down due to this earlier today, and some even had trouble reaching Google. Level3 simply disconnected from Cogent causing parts of Internet to partition.
The Anti-piracy Bureau are also forced to inform everyone they register the IP address of in their databases, otherwise they aren't allowed to store the IP address according to Swedish computer privacy laws.
So... The APB then have problems with following this practice since the ISP's won't give them personal data (necessary to contact the user they log) without a police order, and it all turns into a kind of circular legal problem that benefits the file sharer, and makes the APB databases illegal if they'd keep registering IP's and bypassing the police. (in Sweden, an IP address is definitely considered private information you can't just register however you like; much like a social security number)
Personally, I believe this is more proof that our privacy safety nets are working as intended than that they're broken. If the APB find an IP address and want to register this one, they should really need to contact the police, and if they decide it's worth tracking up, let them proceed, and if not, force them to delete the IP address from their databases. That way, it's in the end the police that enforce our laws and not a private organization.
For proof reasons, you can just aim a laser on the reflective surface astronauts have placed there. Conspiratorists can analyze the laser to see it isn't a fake one all they want.:-)
And perfect laser reflection-worthy surfaces generally don't appear in nature either.;-)
Just what I want, a media player that runs full screen and wastes half of the space for fancy background images.
You don't think it's running like that because the user configured it so?:-) WMP is nowadays configurable to run in approx. as a 100x20 pixels large bar.
You prefer alternative solutions probably because you attack the organizational problem from a different angle. While your solutions makes perfect sense to someone working on a file system level -- you have tidy organized music so it's easy to find & burn, and don't need to scan -- many users work on a more abstract level with playlists. If you do, suddenly the playlist sorting intelligence and logical grouping of music from possibly more than one folder (or even drives) etc, makes a lot more sense because instead of opening up a separate app to select and burn your music, you click a single button to take care of burning your sorted list already open. The same thing with syncing. No need to open folders and drag & drop stuff each time you want to do this. Sure, you can make a script for the job or whatever, but then you just do a different form of preparation to simplify your job. Another user may instead of that form of automation prefer the media player's.
Store all your media in a single location? Yes, it's a much more simple solution, and also less flexible as you aren't working on an abstract enough level to e.g. cover multiple physical and/or network drives, and so on. Sometimes you actually want this, and then you can use one of these players, and you'd once again get "your single location" point of access -- the media player's metadata-powered music library.
Well, he would be stupid if he didn't admit this... Not a shocker, really. What the Wikipedia community can do though is to keep improving the material, and possibly sometimes making peer-reviewed "builds" of it (this has been brought up as a possible idea for the future among the staff, a "Wikipedia 1.0" )
Meanwhile, criticism from outside the Wikipedia camp has been rebuffed with a ferocious blend of irrationality and vigor that's almost unprecedented in our experience: if you thought Apple, Amiga, Mozilla or OS/2 fans were er,... passionate, you haven't met a wiki-fiddler. For them, it's a religious crusade.
And that is a blatant generalization. I contribute to Wikipedia. What a shocker that I realize there are inaccuracies.:-p
Heck, it's probably like usual... A minor crowd of zealots that screams loudly is mistaken as the majority just because they are heard most.
Also, even works such as Encyclopedia Britannica has inaccuracies... I mean, the perfect informational book hasn't been written.
What authors can strive for is to keep improving though, and that's a honorable goal.
I see it's from their research division... They sometimes seem uncorrupted by their marketing machine.;-) They have other projects going on too, like ConferenceXP (yes indeed, source here too), and Netscan. Kind of interesting projects actually.
Slashdot Mirror
Damn, disregard that post... As usual they've split it into pages...
Only nyud.net links may help then, although my experiences with those aren't the best and why I tried to avoid it in the first case.
Well, I for one couldn't access that blog. Here's a mirror...
How about Slashdot generating a mirror link via a neat little "mirror" icon next to the links?
Just undress and let your own bodies do the trick? ;-)
A method free as in beer, showing what's full of beer. Yay!
How much in that article summary is a Gmail ad, and how much is about the history of e-mail?
Hmm, better go RTFA...
Hmm, now wait a minute! It's on Google's blog.
And it still just talks about Gmail.
Too expensive.
Without even knowing the prices in about 2-3 years after introduction on the market?
Hmm... There's obviously something MS wants to have with HD-DVD, but really don't like about Blu-ray, and then rather don't want anything at all.
:-)
I guess that makes plenty of users choice of format easy.
Not to mention these issues, just imagine the fun they and the rest of the crew will have when they need to catch globs of bodily fluids flying around the craft.
Ewww!

Ah, sorry, managed to confuse myself with the news and you're of course right. ;-)
The history showing a great disturbance in the force still remain at Internet Traffic Report though.
Tier 1 ISPs own huge swaths of networks-- literally miles and miles of cable, and sometimes radio and other links. They route the traffic across these lines.
:-)
More precisely, Level3 seem to own 23,000 miles of optic fiber.
The rumor is that the company is in financial trouble.
Yeah, not so much of a rumor anymore either -- Level 3 loss widens.

By the way, here's the latest in Microsoft's SKU madness for Windows Vista, discovered by extracting data from a file in this build.
;-)
Does your head hurt yet?
Winamp was good because there was virtually nothing wasted in the display
;-)
Then you haven't seen the "new and improved" Winamp 5.
When will Microsoft and Real catch up?
Uh? WMP 9
Just what I want, a media player that runs full screen and wastes half of the space for fancy background images.

But you put forth some pretty darn convincing evidence! I recall an earlier Slashdot story that covered all this in detail, where you announc...
This is not the location of the Mars Polar Lander.
That was not the location of the Mars Polar Lander.
Move along, move along!
There's of course dynamic IP's too, but on the other hand, they have routines to deal with these as well.
Of course, I think the same can be said about any single work?
What happened to the days of using multiple references and cross-comparing them?
You may end up getting a lot of mistakes in a work if you base entire chapters in it on individual sources.
It's not really limited to Wikipedia at all...
And that is a blatant generalization.
I contribute to Wikipedia. What a shocker that I realize there are inaccuracies.
Heck, it's probably like usual...
