  1. Re:An incorrect assumption? on Jef Raskin Talks Skins · · Score: 2

    So replacing vi with a WordStar compatible editor on your machine because you like it better that way is a good idea?

  2. Re:Emacs on Zarf in Mac OS X Land · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Even better yet, go back 15 years and tell the DOS-heads that almost everybody will use a GUI.

    Hrm, is this computer pr0n? ;-)

    But even before he did there were doors (for humans) in gates or larger doors.

  5. The T-Rex chasing the jeep in Jurassic Park... on T-Rex A Slow Mover · · Score: 2

    This article (in German) in Telopolis talks about the chase scene in JP. If you look at the dino, you'll see that it always has one foot on the ground and that his steps are rather slow, less than two a second. Stephen Gatesy from Brown University calculated from that that it only was doing about 10 - 15 mph. The film makers said a faster moving T-Rex just wouldn't have looked right.

    1) Cain: Ah so colored people decend from Cain. What about Asians? Which of Noah's daughters-in-law was black?

    2) What about plants? They don't like being submerged several thousand feet below water, even if it isn't salt water. Which brings us to fish - there are salt water fish and sweet water fish.

    So the Kangooroos walked from Mt. Arrarat to Australia.

    1) So why doesn't it say so in the bible?

    2) And still he almost completely rules the world. Or so the preachers say.

    3) The Tower of Babel barely explains the different languages (and their similarities and differences), but it does not explain different cultures. Oh and about that genetic drift - you mean mankind changed? As in evolved?

    4) The Ark was tiny compared to modern ships.

    The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
    That would be (ca.) 450 feet (150 m) long, 75' (25 m) wide, and 45' (15 m) high.

    5)Genesis 7;14 They [Noah's family], and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.

    Sorry dude, the book says he had all the birds on board. (Isn't the internet wonderful? God must have created it.) Let's ignore that the Bible doesn't mention all the different animals that exist - how did they get where they are now? Did Noah drop them off? Why doesn't that get mentioned either?

  11. Re:Easily explained on Dinosaur Evolution Comes Into Focus · · Score: 2

    I wonder if you can tell me when god made the angels, and why he made them so powerful that one can at least rival him? And if all humans are decendants of Adam and Eve, why are they so different - no wait, I also forgot that we all have Noah in our lineage. Talking about Noah, how did he fill all kinds of animal existing (and those who once existed but have since been exterminated by man) into that little ark? And why is there no mention of say kangooroos in Noahs tale or the dozens of distinct finches Darwin described?

    Well, the old iMac already was at 700MHz. I will not even get into the fact that a 600 MHz 68040 would not be as fast as a 600 MHz G3.

    Huh? What is "fast as the current G3"? An Athlon with 1.47 GHz, said Athlon at emulating an 68040 or an 600 MHz 68040?

    Obvious solution: buy a stripped down version of VMware or something like it once, and re-release all your old games with that.

  18. Re:Big day for Apple on Photoshop for OS X · · Score: 2

    Yeah, PC users only upgrade their OS when somebody discovers a new security "feature" and a new SP comes out to fix it, or when Linus made a boo-boo and a new Kernel gets released to fix it. They don't wait for an app to actually use the new features of that new OS.

    "We" (or those of us who buy MS Windows) do pay exorbitant prices - considering they sell an order of an magnitude more.

    Oh, come on! Breaking the DMCA does not make you any wiser (in almost all cases anyway). Unless you are curious how the latest N'Sync song sounds like or how Titanic looks on DVD, copying it won't help you with your curiosity.

    Most of those who complain also claim they can "build their own computer". If they can build their own computer, why can't they build a three-button mousepad?
