Why is this a problem when you can "Bookmark this Frame"?
Right-click in frame. Move pointer to 'This Frame'. Choose 'Bookmark this Frame'. I know it's not as handy as ctrl-d/cmd-d. Maybe that's where the bug should posted -- "No default keyboard shortcut for Bookmark this Frame".
Additionally, don't vote for that bug as it's targetted against Mozilla and won't affect FireFox development at all. If you want FireFox to bookmark Framesets (not just frames) that's a whole other 'bug'.
2) Jurassic Park taught us anything meaningful about genetic engineering? I thought it rehashed pretty safe thematic elements: humans are pompous, visionaries often fall to hubris, the natural world is scary and complex. The sequel(s) rehash the platitude that those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
3) What? Good scientists always concede they don't know all the answers. This is the stick Crichton beats you with for the duration of State of Fear. It's the entire basis for his dismissal of climate science. I like (or liked) Crichton, that's why I've read the majority of his work and gave State of Fear a shot.
Is sounds to me like you didn't read the article I tried to prominently post, and then completely misunderstood my response to both. Whatever, It could be my own failing. Welcome to Slashdot, where berating strangers is par for the course.
Are you talking about the "orientation sensor" or the contrller with built in display? I can't tell, because the GC/GBA hookup does not involve an orientation sensor in any way, and game controllers with built in screens hardly debuted on the GameCube (vis. Dreamcast vmu, probably the first widely availabe).
Final Fantasy: Chrystal Chronicles used the feature to great effect.
Nearly all Dreamcast games supported the vmu display in some aspect.
So I guess it was Sega who visitted Atari Idea Land. How much did a Lynx cost again, right it was something like $50 more than the GB.
(full disclosure: I loved the Dreamcast and own a few GBAs and a GC)
Sadly, none of these links include the initial shipping price. They only mention they cost 'more'. I bought by first Gameboy for $113 saved up over weeks of allowance.
Anyhow, I don't see how Atari thought the Lynx would be relevant 4 years later when the Jaguar came out (again at a price much higher than Nintendo's already shipping SNES). And even if a Lynx successor could have improved battery-life and and come out in a meaningful time frame after the Jag, could it have completed with the PS-one?
Also-rans are hardly ever considered revolutionary, so calling a Lynx-Jaguar link-up revolution is dishonest. You seem kinda bitter about it though.:-D
Like the AC sibling said... If you aren't Shooting, Driving, or Sportsing, what are you doing. What do you play on your Playstation that isn't sports, fps, or mmo. And while your at it -- which of those are your friends playing with you?
(I had written a very long post about what I play and why and on what platform -- but it's irrelevant. What are you playing in the 35+ demographic -- I'm not quite there -- that's not the genres above? And even more relevant to the NES/PS debate, do you have kids?)
Do we really have to have this debate every SINGLE time global warming pops up? State of Fear is a fiction from which no real-world guidance can be drawn. The only time Critchton's words should be changing your opinion on anything is whether or not you think being chased by a hungry dinosaur (or gorilla or alien-technology induced... whatever) might be scary.
In short -- Critchton is a horrible scientist. His mea culpa at the end is refreshing though -- after he's spent the entirety of the book telling you that global warming is bullshit and we shouldn't do anything (and all those scientists and physicists are misleading alarmists) he concedes he doesn't know anything, and winks at you.
"I have more respect for people who change their views after acquiring new information than for those who cling to views they held thirty years ago. The world changes, Ideologues and zealots don't."
Stroking the ego of your paying audience? Priceless.
All the "me too" posts saying "how could I type in my long numbers without a keypad!! [you insensitive clod]" aside...
I also have a HHKB, black, USB, with keys labeled. I also have a IBM Model M. I love them both for two different reasons. I love my Model M becase of the feel. It's reassuring. It feels honest. Plus, with the old-school removable keycaps I can enjoy the so-called benefits of the Das Keyboard without the hassley pitfalls. I removed all the letter-caps save F and J. This way I can still see the keys I don't normally touch type while gaining the touch typist advantages of blank letters. I bought the HHKB because I wanted a keyboard where the function keys were chorded with the number keys. The different layout from the Model M standard took a little getting used to -- my main gripe is that on the HHKB they chose to stick the delete key where normally you'd have \|. It also takes a little getting used to have `~ on the other side of the keyboard. Other than that, the other key placements are very useful (the Sun style control-key, the fn keys under the numbers, chorded page up and down keys under the right hand). That said, the feel of the HHKB is better than average. Better than the cheap Dell "QuietKeys" and other such crap. Another thing I really like about the HHKB is that it's much easier to keep the keys centered right under your hands, there's no awkward offset to make room for an especially wide 'full-size' keyboard (plus mouse).
I don't miss the keypad, but then I do terminal stuff (having esc that much closer it great in vim;) and Photoshop on my Mac, and not data entry. Just kinda rambling. Sorry.
There's a huge difference between re-implementing a patented idea AND COPYING SOMETHING YOU HAVE NO LEGAL RIGHT TO COPY. That's why it's called copyright. And that's why movies are different from inventions. Copyright isn't about providing a monopoly on an implementation, it's about applying a monopoly to the right to copy and distribute a particular expression. So anyhow, the GP has not solved the whole p2p thing. (Not all) P2P in many large and obvious ways infringes copyright. Downloading a recent MPAA movie is infringing, period. Re-read the Napster decision to get back on track.
Now whether the laws or wrong [over-broad], and the terms unreasonable, that's a whole other debate!
The feature in question is already implemented for subscribers. I don't think/. will adopt changes to slashcode that undermine their income incentives. Thanks for the snappy, yet uninformed response!
What would be nicer [...] is if they had included the actual name of the camera(s). [...] if I would have known that it was a point & shoot rather than a DSLR, I wouldn't have bothered even reading this. Honestly, this submission was as well thought-out as "Sony Releases Wi-Fi Computer" and then a description about how nifty Wi-Fi computers are (without bothering to list any specs), and how wonderful Sony is.
Right on. I'm not completely against "slashvertising" but c'mon, give us the meat. I might not mind the hypothetical Sony cheerleading story if also included "such and such specs with $x price-tag." This 'story' could have been more meaningful if all it said was "Nikon's got a new 8mp point-and-shoot with built-in WiFi. Comes out in October for around $550. Read some glowing marketing/press-release info here: Blah."
What's great is: while the story submission is factually incorrect, as well as including market-speak (ah, slashvertising!), I didn't see it because I've started ignoring articles posted by Zonk!
Unfortunately (and unsurprisingly), RSS doesn't honor your "homepage" preferences. Maybe when the slashcode developers get some time away from their day jobs they can add in that feature!
Now that I've unchecked Zonk, let's see how much my/. experience improves over the next couple weeks. If dupes go to zero, and retarded articles go to zero I might journal it.
Right. I think we are agreeing here. What is right/wrong is immeterial to the court wrt the suit. The judge will be there to determine what is legal/illegal (i.e., whether the suit has merit and will proceed), not the morality of the case.
Additionally, we are agreeing that in this case, it is hardly the mom's fault in any meaningful sense.
There is no doubt that the lack of physicality/scarcity makes issues related to damage caused by copyright infringement vexing. That's why we're always talking about it on/., right?:-)
I don't even know why the Zen Patent is relevant. The way the iPod interface animates the mode-, genre-, artist-, and album lists (or "menus" in Zen-speak) sliding to the right and left shows that Apple obviously concieved of their iPod UI scheme as an extension of the (PREVIOSLY EXISTING FOR YEARS and previously implemented feature in their OS) column view hierarchy browser.
Anyone who's used both OS X and an iPod (which is obviously none of Creative's lawyers) can see that the iPod interface is just virtualizing the column view of the Finder to a smaller display view.
(Sorry for all the bold and shouting, it just seems so retarded. But yeah, hand-write your reps.)

Hey, btw, isn't that theorems? In math, theorems have proofs (not theories).
