How does this speak to the statistical probability of amino acids forming protein chains? What would the density of them be and in comparison to an earthly origin would there be greater or lesser odds?
The one in the Island movie was kind of nice. It was a full table touch OS.
Interesting things: It had this little pyramid placeholder that you could move around to shift focus and group items.
You could twist and fling with it to rotate a window 180 degrees so someone sitting across from you at your desk can edit a document.
Still accepted stylus input for drawings as it's better than touch for control.
I liked that it didn't completely force one particular interface metaphor for everything, the tactile control objects were nice as well as directionality of windows.
That's an interesting list there. I haven't ran into enough to touch on all those categories.:-)
Generally upper middle class, grew up in nice areas, haven't traveled. Both sexes, and strangely race doesn't seem to matter.
I thought it would be a white thing since minorities would be more sensitive to differences with others and have their own identities. It turns out the ones who "don't" have an identity as a member of their own group seem to be the worst. In other words a black or hispanic person who don't identify on that and claims they have no culture, those are the most aggressive ones. I suppose they consider themselves above having an identity, not realizing they identify with white americans.
My suspicion is a cognitive dissonance in accepting groups of people as different and yet not stereotyping them, along with a lack of belief in "luck". You know the old "I earned what I have". Eh leave it to the shrinks.
As a foreign language instructor for adult students I've certainly struggled with the American mindset. In every class there's always a few who I call anti-culturalist. They just can't comprehend that there's other ways of doing things that aren't wrong but simply different. The more a person has traveled the less they seem to struggle with this. Everyone should spend a year or two living somewhere really foreign, that would do a lot for human relations. Maybe the size of the United States just makes the rest of the world seem so far away, theoretical.
The idea is by making their reader in Javascript instead of passing a PDF onto a native reader they can hopefully block exploits via Javascript security.
It makes sense, especially if it prevents people from getting hacked via Adobe software. Sounds paradoxical but they intend to decrease the attack surface with this.
You already have responses from others and there's plenty of different beliefs on the subject. My personal belief is based on what is in the bible which touches on that.
A lot of people think the Bible says God rules the world and that everything that happens on it is predetermined by him. Scripturally however it's quite different from that. 1 John 5:19 says that "The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one." Also Jesus spoke at John 13:30 "the ruler of the world is coming. And he has no hold on me"
Maybe you're familiar with the story of the temptations of Christ, where after he was baptized the devil confronted him and tried to make him sin. One of those was to offer all the kingdoms of the world to Jesus if he would worship the devil just once.
So it's pretty clear scripturally that the ruler of this world is not actually God. Further bible study shows that this period of time is like a court case, where each side gets to make their argument. Right now it's in the "We're better off without you" phase of the trial, during which time God has to in a certain extent allow things to run their course. This means that people both for and against God suffer in an unjust world. Once that time period runs out, it's God's turn to run things. When the earth is managed the way he intended people will see what a world without sickness and death looks like. In that world the devil and his influence will be held back as he's essentially in prison during this time. Rev 20:1-3
That is 1,000 years of peace on the earth. This time is spoken of at John 5:28,29 and Acts 24:15 when it speaks of a resurrection of all those who have died. At that time people will have a second chance at life and make their own decision if they want to stay in that world.
Is that fair? I think it is. Those who want a world without God's interference get to try it out and give it their best shot. This is what we end up with, some like it this way. On the other hand those who want God's guidance in mans affairs will get their chance to see that when the time comes and everyone will choose which one suits them best.
After all, if God immediately destroyed Adam and Eve and started over... wouldn't that make people suspect he was wrong and hiding his flaws? By allowing the question to be answered he's showing that it's in mans benefit to have him in control.
There was this guy who wanted to debate me when I was volunteering at a religious function. He starts off with telling me he's an atheist and then proceeds to rant about why does God allow volcanos to go off and kill innocent children and whatnot...
I try to be polite and reason with him but he's got serious anger issues with the idea of God and he's starting to make a scene. So I say to him "You know I read that true atheists are not angry at God, if he doesn't exist why are you mad at him?" He started laughing and then calmed down a bit. After that he identified as agnostic and I found out he grew up religious but basically couldn't reconcile the existence of evil and suffering in the world with his understanding of God. He ended up bitter and resentful. It's too bad he had all that emotional baggage and wasn't able to discuss it rationally, I much prefer an educated atheist over an angry pretender.
I'm not actually sure why playback doesn't work on partially downloaded files.
That seems to be a problem related to the video not the app. I've seen this in several different file containers, from what I can tell MPEG4 has some kind of built in index at the front of the file that gets checked for consistency before it plays. Unless the file is intended for streaming in which case it's set up a bit differently. Quicktime won't play many cut off videos but VLC will play them often after an error message. If it's an AVI with MPEG4 video it'll offer to repair the file.
Just FYI here's why I personally prefer the classic.
I honestly like to have the fine tuning over which comments I read. If the article is fairly fresh or hasn't be commented on a lot yet, I'll check the comment threshold and pick something from 3 to 5 depending on how many comments are there and how much time I have. Or if the article is several hours old and has a lot of 5's I'll just read those.
With the mobile site I couldn't figure out how to do that, while showing most Outstanding posts I will get a lot more than I have time to read and many will be +2 or +3. Don't wanna skim all that so with classic I just pick how many and get exactly what I want given my interest in the story.
Those fake encrypted flash drives remind me of the old Zip disks. If you put in a disk with a known password and unlocked it you could force it out and put in an encrypted disk you didn't know the password to. They didn't even bother to XOR the data with your password so any disk could be read that way.
Wikipedia ASLR Apple introduced randomization of some library offsets in Mac OS X v10.5 (released October 2007).[16] Their implementation does not provide complete protection against attacks which ASLR is designed to defeat.[17][18][19][20]Mac OS X Lion 10.7 has improved ASLR implementation for all applications. Apple explains that "address space layout randomization (ASLR) has been improved for all applications. It is now available for 32-bit apps (as are heap memory protections), making 64-bit and 32-bit applications more resistant to attack."[21] Since OS X Mountain Lion 10.8 the kernel as well as kexts and zones are randomly relocated during system boot.[22]
Yes I'm a wife of a/. Geek... I'll prove it.. Ponies YAY!! Unicorns YAY!!! I 3 lolcats:-D ok so what I'm about to tell you will save your marriage so listen up! I have always dated geeks and tried to get into the gaming thing with them. At a young age I was scarred playing original Mario bros at a friends house. Stupid chompin flower! The theme song still haunts me. My next foray into the gaming world with my first BF was somekind of first person shooter game where I got stuck in a corner and shot anything that moved. My team mates quickly killed me. So video games to me were frustrating and depressing cuz I would die within the first 5 mins. The miracle game which changed my outlook on video games... Legos Star Wars!!! Me and hubby can play for hours and I have a great time. Mostly I collect coins while he fights the bad guys and if I do have to fight I can randomly punch buttons and mostly make it out alive. Also I can die and immediately get resurrected! And I make cute noises when I die so it's kinda fun jumping off cliffs:-D the cantina is a great place to practice blowing up stuff and getting coins without anyone shooting at me. When we get to a really hard part and I die a lot it's easy to back out of the game and let the computer take my player till the first player gets through and then I can join back in. All the Legos games are a blast but I think Star Wars the original is easiest. I would say start your wife on this game and just tell her you wanna play for a half hour (same as a sitcom) I'm pretty sure she will want to keep playing after that.:)
I'm not a Catholic, but they have an interesting policy in place regarding the selection of saints.
The first step is they must have already been dead 5 years. That way their initial popularity has waned somewhat and there is less pressure to hurry them through the process.
It would be interesting if similar restraints acted on the legal process, to avoid kneejerk emotional legislation that doesn't solve the problem but often makes it worse.
Slashdot Mirror
Reselling allows consumers to acquire content at places lower than the equilibrium on a supply and demand curve.
Without reselling the creators price it what they want and people unwilling to pay that much never get it without pirating.
If they'd simply reduce prices along a time scale they'd naturally pick up a larger portion of those lower priced sales as the demand drops.

You know that just tells me that javac isn't self-hosting and they never bothered to bootstrap their own compiler. I wouldn't blame C for that.

You'd think. Maybe a job requirement or something. Slumming?

"trigger song" I see what you did there. :-)
That Mark 60 CAPTOR is quite interesting with its audio detection of submarines.
How long before someone relaxing in their boat discovers the right song to make a false positive on that?
Then how many more blown up civilians before they figure out which song it is?
I keep wondering when Google's hardware offerings are going to sour their relationships with their partners.
Maybe Android is too big now for phone and tablet makers to take their ball and go home, but Chrome OS could be stillborn from this.

I noticed in the article that he was working with a decompiled version of the a.c file.
A version of it reimplemented in C was released as detailed here.
MUCH easier to read.
That should help with his project updating the engine as well as anyone else wanting to study the code in depth.
Is this anyone in particular or just whoever is closest?
I would agree that they were not squatting if "iPhone" made sense in Portuguese.
Wouldn't miFono or something similar be a vernacular equivalent?
You would think that the tree implied a choice.

I remember reading several years ago about the discovery that dinosaur soft bone marrow had been found.
What are the implications of this and what changes have this discovery lead to in our understanding?
Also how has this changed the handling of fossils?
