This effect can be observed almost universally throughout our society, not just in traffic malls. People just prefer walking on the right hand side of any type of path. So I ask you this: before we had cars, on what side of the path did people prefer to walk?
By confusing Close with Quit MS created yet another confusing UI metaphor, combining two different actions.
dude, that's ABSOLUTELY correct, I NEVER understood the close/quit thing until I got a mac. Then I realized that Microsoft just screwed it up when they were transferring it over from the mac interface.
Yes, the best part about this is when the browser (occasionally) crashes, it asks you if you'd like to pick up where you left off. It makes browser crashes no big deal, because virtually no time is wasted.
I'm using this crappy software on my mac, and then it's like beep beep beep beep beep. And like, my mac froze. And I had to restart it and it wasn't as good. It's kind of a, bummer.
Everyone says they want the world to use Linux, but when someone produces a distro that is easy enough for Win users to use as a stepping stone to *cough* 'greater things', everyone mocks it for being too dumbed down.
I don't think most people in the community are really after that "smug feeling of superiority." Sure, there are elitist assholes. But I think the majority of the so-called elitist comments come as a result of frustration with those who want a free ride all the time. You see, what we REALLY want is for people to be self-sufficient, and able to figure things out for themselves. If everyone operated like this, then there would be very little time wasted explaining the documented solutions to common problems, which would free everyone up to concentrate on the real problems, in order to make progress.
I think apple made their decision to use the khtml engine primarily based on what they thought the mac user base would benefit the most from. Mac users already have a kick-ass browser based on gecko -- chimera. To make another gecko based browser for the Mac would have been (-1 Redundant). To take chimera and work to improve it would have been an option, but I think apple knows that Chimera has gotten this good without their help, and will continue to get better without them. The work that apple has done has given the users a second kick-ass browser that is based on a completely different rendering engine. This has the welcome side-effect of encouraging website developers to code to the standards, and not one particular implementation. I think it was a really smart move on apple's part (and I was a bit surprised when Jobs announced what they based it on) but as a Mac user, I couldn't be happier with the way the browser situation has been shaping up lately.
Quicksort will still be slightly faster than shellsort assuming it is coded properly. But coding quicksort "properly" can be a bit tricky. You must be careful about many things, and you have to come up with some way to choose a good pivot. Also, quicksorting small lists is usually a bad idea, so we also have to write an auxiliary sorting algorithm for the small lists that quicksort gives us.
By contrast, shellsort is quite easy and clean to code, and this improvement to this algorithm just uses a better increment sequence, which doesn't complicate things by much.
So, to answer your question, this has a lot of practical value, namely when development time is more valuable than running time.
Why isn't this showing up on the apple page?

Anyone have an explanation for why this wouldn't be in the apple section?
Even geekier would be if the oldest and youngest celebrate their next birthday before the middle child. That would make them 5, 8, and 13 at some point.

hmm, it sure looks like you come here, too ;-)
Cool, thanks for the links. Just in case anyone is wondering, I tried playing these files with mplayer and it works quite well.
Well, keylength alone really doesn't tell you anything about the strength of the crypto.
But what you said about 3DES being slow and AES being unproven are both valid.
Are you sure? I thought triple DES was still a bit weaker than AES...

162 games a piece (for the regular season), and 30 teams gives us 2430 games. So broadcasting 1000 games is about 41%. Not too bad, I'd say.

My university deny's icmp packets altogether. It's annoying sometimes, but I can understand why they do it.
I wonder if this is the first time Rob has slashdotted himself...
It's giving me a no mountable disks error.... although I can mount other disk images just fine.

It's right on the front page here. There appear to be a few different polls though, so if it doesn't show up the first time, try reloading the page.
...using a nice applescript application called Chimera Knight. Just thought some people might like to know that's out there.
awesome, thanks
...can be found here. It's really easy to follow his instructions to get true type fonts working right.
