And what do you suppose happens when the people we put in charge of public safety say "terrorism is extremely rare" to explain why they did nothing to stop an attack just like the ones that already happened.
Well, if they were working on the problem the right way, they could then go on to explain how they are tackling the problem at its source by trying to improve freedom, education and living conditions around the world in a considerate, thoughtful manner so that people don't feel miserable and angry enough to want to blow other people up in the first place.
If it has aviation-style plugs you probably can, but it's fairly expensive. Aviation headsets use high-impedance condenser mics that require a power source, so the adapters are not quite as trivial as one might hope.
You look at the desktop a lot? I can barely even remember what my desktop background is. I see it for about 10 seconds after a very rare reboot, while I'm waiting for various maximized applications to start.
A policeman is a duly appointed officer of the law, acting on behalf of the state. The policeman is an integral part of the legal system, and an integral part of the "process" that is "due".
Network Solutions, last I checked, was not an officer of the law and should not be abusing its position in order to act as one.
merchandising, merchandising, where the real money from the movie is made.
seriously, blizzard sells a ton of add-on shit to World of Warcraft that I'm sure significantly pads those numbers. race changes, name changes, faction changes, server changes, appearance changes, the card game, ingame vanity pets, authenticators, and that's just the stuff that I know for a fact many people actually buy on a regular basis.
The game has changed. It's like the day after Hiroshima. You wake up thinking "Oh shit, things are different. Really fucking different."
Funny, I wake up thinking "Oh shit, things are the same. Really fucking the same."
It's all the same old shit. Sun Tzu was writing about the very same things millenia ago. He may not have conceived of specifics like nuclear weapons, but the concepts haven't really changed at all.
Pros don't use red-eye functions either, instead they point the flash so that it reflects onto the subject on an angle, for example off the ceiling, rather than going straight to the subject (hence directly into the eye) and straight back. It also gives much more even and natural lighting.
Of course, point-and-shoot cameras don't let you aim the flash, thus hobbling you. Tragic.
This is very true, and pretty obvious. I mean, consider *any* tourist attraction. The great wall of China, Statue of Liberty, Eiffel Tower, Stonehenge, Macchu Picchu, Niagara Falls, whatever. All of these things have been photographed and videotaped in immense detail. They have been imaged from every possible angle, at every possible time of day or year, from the air, from satellites, from the ground, from inside, whatever. And the best of these images are usually available in books, postcards, on the internet, etc.
And yet people still go see them. In droves. Massive crowds of people. Paying admission fees, nevermind flights. Obviously there is still a huge market for people to see things with their own eyes, and there likely always will be.
Just because someone is driving defensively doesn't mean it's okay for you to cut them off.
Yes the linesmen are reasonably safe and always act as if all lines are live. But that's a *failsafe*, it is not nor is it intended to be their first line of defense, it is their *last* line of defense. There's a reason the laws and codes tell you you cannot connect a generator that way.
Also the part where you're feeding up to 100 amps through not just one, but *two* sockets which are rated for a maximum of 15amp. It doesn't even matter how heavy duty your extension cord is.
Mark V Shaney or a similar Markov-chain based text generator is probably nearly ideal for such a project. It will spew often incomprehensible, sometimes hilariously comprehensible gibberish about whatever it has heard being talked about.
I wrote a (shitty) text adventure on the C64 when I was 8 or 9. By I was 13 I was probably hacking away in MOO code and Turbo Pascal. But yeah, I agree, the original post about trusting a 13-year-old's code is a bit ridiculous.
Most people do need the features of vim, they just don't realize or understand when they need them.
As an analogy, imagine that you said "Not everyone needs the power of functions/subroutines, so why should they learn it, when there's an easier way? Copying and pasting chunks of code repeatedly is fine if you just want it plain and simple"
Just because it works doesn't mean it's an excuse not to learn how to do it better.
vim is by far the most efficient. I'm comfortable in other editors, certainly, often more comfortable than I am in vim. But vim will always be faster and more efficient. Rarely is even the most complex command more than a few keystrokes away.
It depends how you define "better" and "best", but I don't think anything can beat vim for efficiency, and that's definitely what some people define as best.
Umm, he's clearly talking about MMORPGs ("which play their characters for them"), and yes they certainly do make money, selling in-game gold for real-world dollars.

Well... there's ASCII.

Something along the lines of ExtUSB is probably a better solution to that problem than a dongly adapter, but that would be very un-Apple like.
That actually depends entirely on which frame of reference you choose to view the problem in. It is therefore both subjective and inaccurate.
Except gliders are the very fuel it uses to grow and replicate! We're DOOMED!

If you want peripheral vision immersion at reasonable distances, then you're going to need, oh, let's say, 6 big-ass flatscreen TVs.

Its slashdot for God's sake. If you can't laugh at someone's death here where can you?
You can't, and 4chan.

Have you ever tried to offer suggestions and development time to Mozilla? It's easier said than done.

Sounds like reST.
Who cares?
That's obviously from all those people doing web searches trying desperately how to turn off all the annoying "features" of Vista.
