Good movie, but I hate the Trinity kisses Neo for him to realize he is the One scene. No matter how you interpret it, it is just so lame at a crucial turning point in the movie. Now, whenever I re-watch the movie, I get so annoyed with this scene.
Trinity : Neo..I'm not afraid anymore! The Oracle told me I would fall in love, and that man, the man that I loved, would be The One. So, you see, you can't be dead...you can't be... because I love you....you hear me? I love you...
She leans over and kisses him
As she says this, the blow echoes deep in Neo's mind. In the Matrix, his eyes snap open. Trinity screams as his life monitors jump back to life. Tank and Morpheus stare, in disbelief.
Trinity : Now get up!!
Neo sits up, trying to focus. He stands up, and the Agents turn around, staring at him, also in disbelief. Agent Smith grimaces and aims his rifle at Neo. He fires.
Neo :...No...!
As Agent Smith fires, Neo just puts his hand out. The bullets slow down and stop in front of him. Neo looks at them, and picks one up. He looks at it, and then drops it to the floor. He looks at the rest, and moves his head down. They all fall to the ground. The Agents stare, and all take a step back.
How about we work towards a cure instead of blowing money on problems that have already been solved?
Apple has zero experience working in a wet lab. So, Apple puts money where it does have experience. Further, Curing biological diseases is hard. When Microsoft offered to debug cancer, Derek Lowe had this quote:
Unfortunately the world of code and computational hardware, as important, useful, and lucrative as it is, is just a sandbox compared to the real physical universe, of which living creatures are just a tiny little part. But biology has no debugging programs, no annotations, no manuals. It wasn't written by humans -- in fact, as far as we know, it wasn't written by anyone at all, it "just grew" in a process that has no good counterpart to the ways that humans generally get things done.
I like your CentOS and Fedora comment and have been using for years. But I have decided to move to debian because Fedora updates too fast. CentOS update too slow and its default kernel does not include the drivers I need for my htpc. It is not too much effort to compile your own kernel but the task gets old real quick when you have to keep up with security patches.
Thanks for the recommendation, but typing this out seems to be a lot more tedious that copy/pasting an image.

I am a slave to copy and paste, which locks me into a GUI program. Also, there no way to go from PPTX (provided by others) to beamer:
I have been using the presentation in LibreOffice on my various macbooks for over 7 years and you know what it has only gotten worse. Sure they change user interface, but not really much else. Minimal bug fixes, but no improvements to performance.
It crashes so often, in order to turn my slides into PDF file, I not only break up my presentations into small files, but I wrote a shell script to keep trying the conversion until LibreOffice manages to not crash.
Serious question, is there a latex-like tool for making presentations. I mainly work with jpeg, png and text (LibreOffice is not kind to movie viewing). Bonus if I can click the mouse to have a pop up text window display. I really want something low latency that allows me to manipulate slides in an efficient manner.
At first I was thinking portrait mode for the apps, it was always in portrait mode. It was never landscape mode. Whoosh. Should have said fake-bokeh mode.
I see the amazon white vans everywhere in Chicago area. Generic white van with magnetic amazon logo on the side. They ones I have seen drive like maniacs, really fast through narrow parking lots. I just assumed they hired in a similar manner to uber, i.e. , anyone with a drivers license can be a delivery truck.
Sounds like wikipedia editors, camping out on a particular topic and not allowing any view counter to their own. I assume some limitations will be there, but seems potential for abuse, because the system is already abused.
Came here to say this. I remember back in 1996 or so, a colleague of mine was trying say that in 5 years VRML will replace HTML. The thought made me throw up, it was so wonky.
I still have not caught on to the modern VR phase either, looks like it would give me neck pains.
I will concede that the major anonymouns coins: dash (formerly dark coin and the topic of this story), monero, and counterparty have shot up in price significantly over the past month, during a period where bitcoin has been mostly flat or fallen in value. I am not sure what is driving the increased price/market cap, but I assume the dark net is involved.
They are, however, frequently used to purchase illicit goods and services
I bought some illicit bulk legos (from a small shop on bricklink) this week and we did not have to pay paypal processing fees, it was awesome. Me and my three year old were getting high building a castle.
I am curious what do the students use the computers for? At my small college department ALL of the Desktops in the student tutoring room are barely used, because students bring their own laptops.
What is the reason for the discrepancy? Is it spec based (they are faster), curriculum based (teachers train on the pcs), or familiarity based (linux would be used even less)? Thanks just curious.
If you look at the official release notes impress/presentation is always an afterthought. (Why the hell does slashdot link to a random softpedia article?) This is true for every release. I wish we could get some development/love on impress. I use it for all of my class lectures.
The auto size text to box was broken so long that after 3 years , I had enough and spent a week learning the code so I could fix it. Which ended up adding only a single line of code.
Maybe I am old, but did people fight about the cartoons depicted in wingdings. Because as far as I am interested, it is a stupid font on my computer that has no use to me.
It is going to be hard to connect buyers and sellers with all the coin mixing services available. Especially with popular alt coins like dash coin (http://dash.org ) that have mixing built into the protocol.
are there any good open source flash replacements (mainly for firefox on my mac) that can get me through some older sites that use flash. I just need something with minimal features and tight security.
I was aware of swfdec back in the day and found some others: lightspark, gnash, Mozilla Shumway.
If you receive an e-mail with a subject of "badtimes", delete it immediately / Without reading it. this is the most dangerous e-mail virus yet. / It will re-write your hard drive. not only that, but it will scramble any / Disks that are even close to your computer.
I love the Microsoft's MyFord Touch. It is the greatest thing ever./sarcasm
Consumer Reports recommends that no one consider buying used 2011 Ford Edges equipped with MyFord Touch systems. As Ford has expanded availability of its MyFord Touch system to more vehicles, Consumer Reports has downgraded its ratings for vehicles so equipped
From his Reddit AMA 2 months ago./u/rosweldrmr asks:
I read something over a year ago from you that said you were doing a lot of research for your next book, which was supposed to be another hard science book. Later you said your pitch about a Moon Base was shot down, so you moved on to Zhek. I know Zhek will probably be a series, so there's not a lot of hope, but do you think you'd get to write the Moon Base hard scifi someday? And would you be willing to speak a little about what your idea was? I am desperate for more hard science fiction and I think it's a shame about the Moon Base idea, I thought it sounded really interesting (and you did all that research!).
Andy Weir's response:
The publisher loved the Moon Base idea's setting. They just didn't like the story. Some day I'll have a shower epiphany and have an idea for a better story and then I'll be ready to write it.
Along these lines, I see piracy to become a problem for these platforms. When every teenager in the neighborhood starts building their own computerized cars, they are just going to steal the platform (Android Auto and Apple CarPlay).

The story is that they can now include LAME , because the patents have expired. Before Fedora had no mp3 support at all.

Using the cloud is the opposite of low latency. Ugh.

I tried working with the xml structure of the OpenDocument Format and it is similarly tedious. I guess I should create my own :)

For those grammar police following HBO's Westworld, the title should read "Shipping time frames will be delayed."

Timelines assume parallel universes exist. I guess it is possible that in a parallel universe Faraday ships their cars on-time.

I agree. It is good that it is getting a headline, but this is in textbooks.
An average lab mouse lives about 2 years, I think the record as of Feb 2016 is about 4.5 years, so we seem to be making progress.
More interesting are the nematode C. elegans, thanks to its short lifespan of 2-3 weeks. The record lifespan appears to be 8 weeks.
