Planet of the Apes was a cartoon, back in the seventies. I think it was done by Filmation, the same company that made the Star Trek cartoon. It only lasted for a season, but it was better than the short-lived live action TV series.
The generation windows are different in different countries. The Baby Boom hit the U.S. first, right after the war, hit Canada a few years later, and the U.K. about ten years later, because the U.K. economy took the longest to recover. If you're a Canadian or a Brit born in 1962, you may well be a Gen-X'er.
Douglas Coupland's book, 'Generation X' (which popularized the term) set Generation-X as being born between 1962 and 1972, I think.
Early Logitech serial mice shipped with a text editor called "Point", that used mouse gestures. I was using it back in 1987. The fun thing was editing text without touching the keyboard. Really freaked out my co-workers.
That's because it's a beta. Rest asuured that when (if?) they ship a release version, it will have nag-ware, spy-ware, and anything else they can come up with to annoy you, all customized for OS X:)
Yes, please mod parent down. This isn't informative, it's ignorant. Bootleg DVDs hurt the legit importers of anime, most of whom aren't members of the MPAA, don't use macrovision, and only region-encode because they're contractuallly obligated to by the japanese licensor.
I think he's had some bad experiences in the shareware world recently, and it's affected his outlook. I mean, what else could make a Mac developer say this, "Windows is like heaven to a programmer. There are so many tools to chose from and the documentation is wonderful. I think the API's are on average very good.
Oh man, it sounds he hasn't been in the Windows environment very long, does it?
And as such are voted on by attendees of Worldcon who are bothered enough to vote. There's between 500 - 1000 votes cast (I can't find accurate figures), but the nominating ballot counts are online. This year, there was a total of 381 nominating ballots for best novel.
We're not talking about a serious statistical sample here, folks.
As a side note, were the Hogu and Black Hole awards presented this year?
I was waiting for someone to mention that. I'm suprised there isn't a home version by now. Just merge the source trees from DDR and GTA3, and instant console hit!
Microsoft, as much as people hate to admit, along with Apple wrote the book on usability.
No, they didn't. Microsoft followed IBM's convuluted CUA (Common User Access) guidelines, which specified things like 'Alt-F4' to close an application, Shift+Del for cut, Alt+Del for copy and Shift+Ins for paste. (Or something like that, I can't find any references, the standard was last revised in 1992). Then Microsoft got one of its rare clues, and stole the Apple standard of Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X, and Ctrl+V for Copy, Cut, and Paste. But we're still stuck with the fucntion key abominations on the Windows platform.
Part of the reason has to be because Be had piss-poor marketing, and Sun, at the consumer level, is even worse. Not that it would ever happen, but I'm sure that if they wanted to, Apple could do a much better job of selling OS X/86.
I learned WATFIV-S, too, and I would rather be taught a langauge developed by a university for the express purpose of teaching structured programming, than be forced to learn a language developed by a corporation for the express purpose of vendor lock-in.
Then next time the alumni association calls me for a donation the answer will be, "Why? Bill Gates already gave you more money than I ever could."
Exactly. When Microsoft first started these strong-arm tactics with MS-DOS, there was lots of competition in the PC marketplace. You could flip through PC Magazine and see ads from Gateway, Dell, Swan, Zeos, Micron, and a host of others.
Microsoft could control the OS market by simply saying, "Look, if you don't go along with our outlandish licencing agreement, you'll lose out to your competitors."
Guess what? Now all the competition is gone. We've got Dell, HP, IBM, and Gateway (sorta). If they decide to get together and hold Microsoft over a barrel, suddenly it's Microsoft who's lost the balance of power. No wonder they're looking at the X-Box and Stinger, and Pocket PCs. The days of Windows are numbered.
Dude! Grab a cheap miniDV cam, get the Vitrix Echo Transitions to add transporter effects to your home video, Bravo Effects to add the laser blasts, and make "Attack of the Clones" the way it should have been made!
Well, maybe not quite but you can still do a hell of a lot with iMovie and some cheap plug-ins.
Yeah, but he's going to pay for it in the end. He obviously hasn't watched enough anime to realize what happens to fathers who build giant robots for their kids...

Balmer: There's this Gates guy, evading questions under a deposition. I'm definitely going to check into him.
Being a close relative of C, Objective-C just sent a message:

I think the jetstream is the answer. Flights from the UK/Europe are an hour or so shorter than the other way, for the same reason.

The obvious question is, "Where were you born?"

Silly Mods, this isn't insightful, this is wrong.

Why is it, every 6 months or so, I get into an argument with somebody over the fact Microsoft doesn't seem to have a clue what DLLs are for?
I have people try to convince me that the integration of Internet Explorer into the Operating System is a good thing.
Never argue with an idiot. Listeners can't tell which one's which.

It's in "I'm Only Here for the Food". G4 TiBook. Of course.
This is actually my father's favorite food question:
If you had to give up one of the two foods which would it be: onions or tomatoes?
Dude! Grab a cheap miniDV cam, get the Vitrix Echo Transitions to add transporter effects to your home video, Bravo Effects to add the laser blasts, and make "Attack of the Clones" the way it should have been made!
Well, maybe not quite but you can still do a hell of a lot with iMovie and some cheap plug-ins.
Yeah, yours is much more elegant than mine. I was just trying to clean up the quick hack that would be made if they suddenly switched to Intel :)
I think your Objective C is a bit off. Try:
if ([apple switchTo:"@Intel"])
[apple dealloc];
There was a technical reason for that. The environment variables needed to be refreshed :)
Yeah, but he's going to pay for it in the end. He obviously hasn't watched enough anime to realize what happens to fathers who build giant robots for their kids ...
I guess Timothy doesn't read what Michael posts.
