You should use a browser that does precisely what you want, and ignore all else. If Maxthon's not it, don't use it. But it does what I want, and I figure what I want isn't different from a lot of people.
Yeah. I don't know how seriously to take it. A lot of people I know use it, and it has a huge forum community.
Download counter or not, frontend or not, good browser (frontend or not, the UI is huuuugely modified, giving (minus webdevel tools) basically the same functionality as a well-extensioned Firefox). And if you want (I don't) you can switch it to the Gecko engine.
I use it, lots of other people I know use it, you can get it to do the end-user stuff firefox can do, the UI response is waaaaay faster, it works in the real world, and I've never had security problems.
I've switched back and forth, using Firefox for better parts of a year (I only use my computer for web browsing, IM, movies, and as a terminal to *nix machines, really). I prefer Maxthon.
There are few areas where everyone can win by circumventing some economic thing, but school books are one of them. Buy and sell books from other students and avoid being gouged by bookstores who are raking in absurd percentages.
half.com is doing it. I got all my books during a recent semester for $200, in good condition. I went through the bookstore and totaled up what they would have cost new: $750.
Hey, I just got an idea. Have a script that notes whenever a slashdot story is posted with certain keywords in it, and then post [automatically, if possible] a link to a Cafepress shop or something with a product related to that keyword sold by you. Just come up with a list of vaguely funny posts or have the link target be funny, and there you go.
I'm not trying to mock the parent poster, I just want to get in on the action.
On the other hand, maybe people would notice the repititon. But unless someone called you on it . . . I wonder what percentage of slashdot stories people read the top comments on, on average? Something has to happen reasonably often before it's jumped on as a dupe comment. And maybe you can vary the post content a lot. Each top mention nets you a lot of hits.
That's a decent fraction of the way to catching a bullet.
Because there's nothing more badass than catching bullets. I remember applying my early physics to try to work out a scenario in which a person, given a silly amount of luck, could physicall catch a bullet fired at them.
Maybe a tough hand, a snapping motion, and a lot of sudden rotation . . . inertia . . . physics . . . I need sleep.
Yeah. I was brought up with an uncanny ability to estimate distances, but only in feet.
Now I'm studying physics and mathematics, and i spend a lot of time looking at trees and trying to figure out what sort of energy they'd carry as they fell, or similar exercises with cars or taut wires or the moon or whatever. And there's no point even trying to do any of this outside the metric system. So I use it. And very slowly start changing, without any work.
If you really need it, you'll use it. If you don't, you won't. The world will basically do what it's going to do and it takes an awful lot of force times time to change it. You can, I'm just saying it's either hard or takes a very long time.
So yes, the world will do as it's going to do, and people who need the metric system will use it, and people will measure things in whatever units are convenient, and you should do whatever you want to do about it all.
whenever you try to go to a p2p site or the anarchist cookbook, a local officer will be immidiately dispatched to your house. Let us tie police records and social security numbers to mac addresses.

I still think making computers a utility and not a luxury should come first. What good is broadband if you can't access a computer?
Awful idea. The cars/roads analogy is entirely appropriate here.
But that generally indicates that something will be modded 'funny'. No one was seriously suggesting that there were left-handed people in the video, which is why he said "sinister? no one there is left-handed!", why I laughed, why it was modded 'funny', and why I was confused when it was also modded 'informative'. Hence, my question.
Ever think that the reason that the Japanese are so into monster movies is that an alien force coming out of the sky and destroying their buildings is a much more viscerally familiar idea to them than it is to us?
If you want to fight it, all you have to do is go limp.
It can't force you to walk anywhere, it justs makes you tip in one direction or the other, and your automatic walking reflex keeps you under your center of gravity.
The video didn't look all that "crazy". It was just a woman walking around with a dazed expression and silly grin. We can only assume she was under control of the remote.
possibly with support for new FSB architectures, multi-core processors and a host of other much-requested features relating to virtualisation and security.
I think I speak for the entire Slashdot readership when I say:
We don't care about computers anymore. It was a fad, it's over. Whatever. Let's move on with our lives.
Check out the 3D movies at Busch Gardens and similar parks. I remember one where bees dove at my face and I really couldn't help but flinch or close my eyes. Very good stuff.
Similarly, I'm working on the development of an inexpensive (under $40k) portable CAVE. We held a demo session Monday and I had a lot of fun making things fly past peoples' faces. About half of them would sway, fall over, or try to grab at the air.
We're working off the clock to get Quake et. al. working in there.
I was actually thinking about this earlier . . . it wouldn't be impossible to do, layering the surfaces we see over 3D models and doing a tiny bit of guessing around the edges . . . an interesting project, anyway.
The AC is right. Entropy of data is kind of backwards from what we physics guys usually think. But it's hard to be consistent or treat it usefully math-wise if you go with the intuitive-from-Physics meaning. Hence, this backward thing.
And there are some of us who are hardcore browsers and programmers who, for whatever reason, use IE. Or at least a version of it. For whom those nags are an irritating slap in the face. It's amazing how much irritation a false pretentious accusation can engender. Saying "sorry, you're not good enough to get in here" is not the solution, even if the other guys did it first.

Hi.
First thought:

What is this junk?
Densest way to store information?
It's going to take some more explanation. How is that more dense? It seems so much more redundant and fuzzy and useless!
Base 60 all the way.

I find a good, hefty brick to be just as effective. Don't know why the police don't agree.
They say you should never hit a man with a closed fist, but it is, on occasion, hilarious.

Crap, I apparently accidentally modded you 'flamebait'. *posts to undo all moderation*
Scroll wheel, I think.
do they support the CowboyNeal option?
