Did you read their response to the University administrator - basically, 'bite me?' Those vegan anarchists are feisty, aren't they?

Actually, we've demonstrated that all the coordination and overhead involved with farming the search out to 0.3 million boxen is surmountable. There is definitely an increment of accomplishment in any translation from design to implementation.
Is it just me, or did dude mean 50F? "...Welcome to Death Valley International Airport. Please remain seated with buckles fastened while we taxi to the gate. Ding. Buh-bye."
The author of the referenced article sympathizes with all the poor software developers who will be forced to rewrite their software. What, for the 2nd time in 2 years? I am drowning in tears of pity.
Unless the 'software' in question contains hand-coded assembly and/or involves special drivers, wouldn't a quick recompile do the trick? We're still talking OSX, right? And BONUS, a new version/upgrade to sell your suckers (err, customers) to boot!
I have never understood why calendaring and emailing functionality have to exist in a single monolithic (excuse the hyperbole) application. I mean, I see how both probably should share common components, and that some level of integration (it is nice to receive a meeting announcement and click accept to add to your calendar) is extremely desireable, but why do we have to reinvent Outlook?
Except I built it myself, and it probably cost a lot more. On the other hand, I can do a lot more with it. It's called a computer. It not only plays media files, it shares them over something I like to call a network.
Dell's been selling a laptop at actual 1600x1200 for what, two years now? I got one of the first few, but didn't get to keep it when I was laid off in the great implosion. Next time you want to spout off, but really don't have a clue, please check your facts.
I suggest a new voting system for those counties/states where a significant percentage of the voting population seems unable to grasp the mechanics of voting: randomize the layout of politicians so that misvoting doesn't bias the final count.
Then maybe we can at least focus on the education/UI issue, rather than getting bogged down in partisan bickering over and interpretation of election results.
Best Graphic Novel of the 80's, except maybe for the Watchmen. Avoids the official DC continuity: middle-aged Wayne, out of the superhero action since Robin killed by Joker. Fascist US and local Government and public sentiment against the B-man... Much bleaker sociopolical outlook than comics or movies. Batman gets back into the game for a last hurrah. Superman is eventually called back from war against the commies to rein in Batman's illegal vigilantism. They fight, and Batman kicks whitey Superman's Ass.
My summary is inadequate, as it's been 15 years since I read The Dark Knight Returns. The (what, 200+ page?) graphic novel was much more powerful than any comic book I had ever bothered to pick up before or since. Check out the entry at everything2.
I hoped each of the Batman movies would try to capture the depth of emotion - the grief, the guilt, the fear, and the savage violence that drive's Frank Miller's Dark Knight. Maybe this is it...
FPS, Quake era graphics engine with some very interesting DM maps, and no blood.
Google still has www.nerfarena.com indexed but either the server is down, or my firewall/proxy server thinks that it is too work-unrelated.
A couple of minutes? I can envision getting into a boxen that fast to liberate components. But a laptop? The memory is usually pretty easy to access, given that's high on the list of post-retail upgrades. The processor? And reassembled? You are either full of crap, or you were gone at least 15 minutes and your thief had balls o' steel.
Uhoh. When they figure out how far they missed the boat are they going to: a) treat cable internet the same as telecommunications, or b) pass stupid restrictive laws to keep me from abusing the system by sending packets back upstream. So far clue-getting propensity seems pretty low...
Put down the microphone, sir. Your voice over IP/email/telnet/content serving days are over.

Since when is ISDN more expensive than DSL? DSL is more expensive, but you get 10x the bandwidth. Cheaper per bit/s, maybe.

Very sweet sig. I almost laughed. Thanks.
