I just can't wait for thunderbolt to completely replace all of the other cables except power that connect to my laptop.
I think it'll be more likely that a wireless connection will do that for most people before Thunderbolt will, just as DVD will be replaced by streaming video rather than Blu-Ray.
And if this passed, everything would go swimmingly until someone inserted a provision in the next budget denying highway funding to states that allow recreational marijuana.
This is why we can't have nice things, America.
That's not how it'll go. The Republicans will attach defunding the health care reform law to this, plus they'll probably attach something along the lines of monitoring of all women 24/7, just in case they're pregnant and might know the word 'abortion'. That's the GOP of today, big government Republicans.
Emacs is at version 23 because at version 1.13 or so, they decided the major number would never change and was therefore redundant. You could call it 1.23 if you wanted, but then Richard Stallman will come and haunt you in your sleep.
This is the kind of environment in which rights erode quickly, right in public view. 9/11, the economy, etc. See also: The "Patriot" Act, Wisconsin union-busting, etc.
If the irrational over-reaction to nuclear power based on the Fukushima disaster were mirrored in other industries, then the Titanic would have ended the ship industry, and Ford's exploding Pinto would have ended the auto industry.
And just because water-cooled nuclear reactors were and always will be a stupid idea, doesn't mean that all types of nuclear reactors are stupid ideas.
Not too damned long. At a recent show, multiple panel manufacturers were showing off both 7" and 10" panels at 2560x1600. Nine of those 10" panels glued together gets you a very sweet 30" display at 7680x4800. Next year. I don't want to think about the price, though.
I'm digging my HP zr24w - 24" of IPS goodness, matte surface, and standard color gamut. If I could find a 30" with a matte surface and standard color gamut, I'd probably get it, but I don't think they exist.
Binney had been acting strangely in recent weeks, according to unnamed sources. Reports of paranoid rants about "government monitoring everyone" were a common theme among associates.
Binney was found wearing nothing but a bathrobe and a cockring, although investigators found several hundred dollars sewn into his bathrobe, as well as two phone numbers - one for "Belle du Jour Exotic Dance Palace" and the other to "Dave's 24 Hour Falafel Delivery". Investigators also found a "huge" porn stash in his apartment, and several copies of porn star Ron Jeremy's auto-biography, "Ron Jeremy: The Hardest (Working) Man in Showbiz".
What disturbed investigators most, however, was a hidden cache of 73 cases of Zima. "What could one man possibly need with that much Zima?," said one bewildered and slightly shaken-looking young investigator. Older investigators are wondering about the significance of the number 73.
Binney was quoted as saying, "I'm not dead yet!" but we were unable to confirm that at press-time.
And people don't program in "assembler" any more than they program in "compiler". It's called "assembly language".

That would be "Learning Python the Completely Different Way".

That's "Gnu haunt" to you, buster.
All of my plugins worked with no problems. And I'm pretty plugin-heavy. :)
None of those were IBM Clones or compatible with them.
That's the funniest thing I've read all day. :)

Google also brought back "Did you mean: Necrophilia", which I don't think has much to do with HTML editing.
No, *that* has to do with IE, cuz that thing is fucking *dead*.
"The new Unity interface is broken..."
Well they're off to a good start. Honestly why anyone would want to use such an interface on anything larger than a netbook is beyond me.
Ha, you think that's stupid - have you seen the Windows 8 UI? Talk about being inspired by the GOP's doubling down on stupid. *whew*
Hopefully the Win 8 screenshots we've seen are ONLY for netbooks/tablets.
wtf is a meta key?
It's a key that tells jokes and makes snarky comments that only other keys understand. It's the most popular key on Boing Boing.

There was an editorial at DailyTech about this recently: DailyTech nuclear power editorial

It's turtles _most_ of the way down.
how long before 4320 is the new 1080?

I think it's worth the $400. I'm considering getting another one this year, assuming nobody comes out with a larger standard-gamut matte display.
As far as response time, I don't game, but I've not had any problem watching fast-action movies. The most in-depth review you're likely to find can be found here: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/content/hp_zr24w.htm

Not that I'm worried, I think we're only going to lose one IT guy to Rapture, and no one wants to hang out with him anyway.
Let me guess - it's the guy who keeps going on about how great .NET, isn't it? Or is it the one who likes Unity?
Apple doesn't make what want to buy, they make you want what they make. Well, they try. :)

Looks like it's time to build a wall. Anyone know where I can get some cheap labor?
Detroit.
What, too soon?

They actually do something that makes sense.
Even a stopped (analog) clock is right twice a day. And boy is the GOP ever _analog_.
Internet Yiddish LIVES!
Meld 9 of these into one nice 30" display with 7680x4800 display. *grasping hands* Now, please...
Ah, so THAT'S where he was hiding!
