Now, consider that without on-screen controls, the entire screen could be devoted to content... and without any visual clues whatsoever, the usability of any program would soon approach zero. How do you know how to use a program that doesn't clue you about it?
So you'd prefer to have to lift up your arms all day to control your computer. After a day of work, I bet you'd go home with your arm muscles hurting. And cool as it looks, the transparent screen doesn't help much either.
Off topic, but the point of not using goto is that program structure may suffer because of it (if you've read mr. Dijkstra's paper you would know this- the result was the whole 'structured programming' movement). As long as one is careful about program structure, however, using goto is no problem.
To beginning and average programmers, 'do not use goto' is the best advice to avoid problems.
But kernel hackers are hardly beginning or average programmers. They know very well when they can use goto without problems, and when to avoid it. When used properly, goto will result in better performing, easier to maintain, more elegant, easier to read code.
When it comes to human accomplishment, the Jesus statue is comparatively pathetic. B
eing 38 m tall and built using 20th century technology, it's nowhere near as big an accomplishment as the 33m high colossus of Rhodes which was finished in 282 BC.
Even the statue of liberty (built in the 19th century and 46 meters tall) is a bigger accomplishment than the Brazilian statue.
I won't even start to compare it to the other six Wonders because it will fade into nothingness.
Sony and Philips, to be precise. Can't believe that TFA didn't mention that.
There is a reason why the hole in a CD is *exactly* (and I mean *exactly*) the size of the old Dutch 10-cents coin. Also the size of the CD was derived from the fact that it needed to be able to hold, on a single disc, a 78-minute long Mozart concert which was the favorite of the wife of one of the developers.

What about coming up with more effective ways of making old plastic into new plastic instead Point is, this is already being done. That doesn't stop a lot of plastic from ending up in landfill anyway. As fossil fuels will become increasingly harder to get by, it's good to see some of it can be recovered from existing waste.
...The net went down all the time. Not acceptable for pro use. Brother has wifi at home and it's the same story.
It is a main reason that at home I'm still wired up- as a result, the network Just Works, all the time- parts of it run at 1 gigabit/sec. While wifi still seems to have some serious maturing to do, I'll wait a bit more and enjoy the benefits: always up, no concerns about neighbors piggybacking on the connection, and the wife is delighted that I don't take a laptop to bed.
Because they were depicted as penguins the artist decided for black-and-white. However common these are as animal colors around the polar circle. If these creatures were adapted to living in a hotter environment, most likely they would have followed a color scheme that would better hide them from predators.
Or else they would have gone extinct. Oh wait. Never mind.
What, and not be able to hit F5 constantly throughout the day? You must be new here.
Okay, here's me thinking F5 would never possibly work in Firefox on Linux. But it does. I must be new here.
30 cents an hour amounts to about 48 dollars per month. Putting things in perspective, when I lived in Asia, that was more or less the normal wage of a janitor. Not a lot of money, and life conditions are poor with those wages- but the money goes a long way compared to the same kind of money in western 'civilization'. In those countries, 30 bucks pretty much buys you nutricious, delicious, high-quality all you can eat for 8 people. 20 cents amounts to a liter of petrol which goes a long way as well in those cranky noisy motorcycles of theirs.
It's a friggin 2-seat vacuum cleaner. Well, at least it wont fit *both* me, the wife and mother-in-law. 40 miles a gallon seems sweet (not gonna do the conversion to km/liter right now) but with a tank fitting no more than around 4 gallons of fuel you're *still* driving back and forth to the gas station all the time. Glad I never bought one.
Considering how hated America is by the whole of the world, don't you think its very important for America to remain the strongest nation From my European perspective, I couldn't give a rats' ass for America to be the strongest nation in the world. In my lifetime, I haven't seen a single country in as many different wars as (the United States of) America. It sure dwarfs US efforts to solve world hunger.

downloads another song to The terms are 'to download from' and 'to upload to'. You can't download *to* a P2P network, that's called uploading.

Is this even legal?

Even seen a zebra on an iceberg? No? See how well those colors work to blend into the environment ;)

There's not really any tech angle here. You've never heard of The Great Firewall of China, I suppose.
Has anybody forgot Tiananmen Square? What square? According to the Ministery of Truth, it never happened.
would greatly increase information reliability of probes we send into space, not to mention controlling said probes in (near) realtime.
At least back then you got an entire album at a buck. Nowadays, just 1 song.

This made me chuckle-
1. Be more responsible
2. Complain less
3. Be more attentive
4. Make lesser mistakes
