Highlight and delete definitely removes entries from the Awesome Bar database, just confirmed in 3.5 and 3.6.
Just blame the software for your inability to use it. Fantastic.
Wow, I've been getting it so wrong all these.... wait one moment, still doesn't work. Just confirmed it.
Do you really think I hadn't actually tried what I posted? Really? You really think there is *any* possibility of user error in 'highlight and delete'?
It certainly is a gotcha when a third parties mis-use can leave you, the shop or independent distributor, in the shit. I wonder how long it would take to find Sourceforge in violation of the GPL under this interpretation.
It is ironic how Berkeley students and faculty are now paying Apple to use code their institution gave to the world for free - and only because they made it too free.
Its not 'ironic' at all, and its certainly not 'too free' - Berkley students can get 'their' code from thousands of other sources, but what they cannot get is the value-add package that the Apple distribution provides. They havent lost anything, 'their' code is still available to them (and even Apple will supply it - you can download the Darwin sources).
And according to another story on Slashdot today, an employer visiting an employees public Facebook page is a violation of your privacy. Its amazing how many double standards there are.
Would you also consider someone who spent 8 hours a day working at McDonalds but spent the other 16 hours of the day updating a 'Why McDonalds are scum' website someone that the company should willfully keep employed?

I'm sorry, but I completely disagree - with regard to SW, I never for an instant needed an explanation for the Force, because it was never hyped up as a mystery. It was something that existed in the Star Wars universe, some people could use it, some could not, and there was training by masters. The Force was never hyped up as 'there is a *lot* more here than we have told you so far', and none of the story of Star Wars hinged on the Force being a mystery.
On the flip side, everything interesting about Lost was hinging on the mysteries given - the entire premise was 'keep them wondering' and the pay off was never there.
Its the same as if the original SW trilogy ended at Empire Strikes Back.

One of my main questions is - where the fuck did the air dropped supplies come from in the second season? Who dropped them, and why did they drop them after the Dharma Initiative had been dead for so long?

But the entire premise of Starwars is not based around 'The Mystery Of How Luke Moves The Lightsaber With The Force', and the concept of 'The Force' is explained early on - now, if we were just introduced to the fact that Luke can move stuff without touching it, but were never given a token explanation, then your argument would hold water.
The 'Black Smoke' isn't even given a token explanation, just a 'oh look, heres how hes created - by the magical light', which introduced yet another 'mystery' isntead of answering anything.

My issue with Lost is that the entire series was sold with the premise of 'theres a mystery, watch to find out what it is'. Its built up and built up, so many things are hyped and then discarded, and when we get to the final episode... nothing.
Battlestar Galactica was bad enough for me - they had a decent storyline they were following which had plenty of potential, but it all got spoiled for me when the writers admitted halfway through Season 3 that the entire Final Five thing was an accident. They only started with the Final Five thing when it became obvious that the fans had latched onto it as a 'thing'. Then they revealed that they chose the Final Five in a writers committee meeting only a short while before they were revealed to the viewers!
Lost seems to have gone the same way - lots of potential, lots of hype of a huge story arc and nothing.
But this thing is a very low earth orbit sattellite. It has a very fast shifting orbit, and it has much more athmospheric drag (though, granted, still not all that much). The orbit is "close" (certainly in space terms), low-latency, but a bit of a bitch to navigate in.
The International Space Station has a standard orbit of between 181 miles and 189 miles and only needs a boost a few times a year, while the X-37B was spotted at 255 miles up where the atmopshere is significantly thinner - 9 month longevity should not be hard to achieve, especially as the X-37B includes the ability to boost its orbit.
Not really - put a space craft into the correct orbit and it will stay there until its systems fail. Longevity is not really a new thing introduced by the X-37B, its been a staple of geostationary satellites for decades.
It seriously annoys me that people take Mythbusters psuedo-scientific results and applies them to everything possible - they used the F/A-18A, which at 35,000lb would be 1/10th the weight of Concorde (and I bet that the F/A-18A in the test had a significantly lower loading than that), and the test was done at significantly lower speeds than Concorde cruises at.
I am doubtful as to the validity of the results the Mythbusters came up with, as it was already proven during the Oklahoma City Sonic Boom tests in 1964 caused hundreds of broken windows (windows in skyscraper structures were broken routinely over the course of the tests, with no significant occurances before and after the tests - make your own conclusions).
Apart from physical damage, you seriously have to consider the environmental impact - can people live with loud bangs as a routine? Again, the Oklahoma City tests showed that no, people are not willing to put up with routine sonic booms as they are disruptive and invasive.
I hate it when people use biased wording to get a point across...
In EU swpatents are illegal but accepted by the EU patents office (a big WTF, yes)
Software Patents in the EU are *not* illegal, they are just not legally enforcable - that is a huge difference, and it completely changes your sentence. The patent office can take applications for software patents, and can issue patents for them but legally no court has jurisdiction to enforce them. They are issued because software patents may become enforcable in the future.
The Amiga was large in the UK home user market, and I think Germany as well - most of my friends had an Amiga, while only a select few had PCs and I cannot think of one that had a Mac (and only a single one had an Atari).
Why not? Have you used it? What are you basing your opinion on?
If a business already has Office under certain volume licenses from Microsoft, they already have a license to deploy the on-premise version. Businesses are going to use this massively.
