Is it possible that John McCain threw the election knowing that Barack Obama would be a disaster but also knowing that he had a better chance of winning in 2012?
Safari, Chrome, iPhone, Android, QT, and Nokia all use WebKit. WebKit is free (as in GPL). WebKit is arguably the best handheld browser. How is Opera's mobile market going to rebound?
Could be worse. TF2/360 will eventually get updated (the limited memory makes it more difficult to pack all that goodness in). The PS3 version was outsourced to EA (ugh) and is a dead end.
Look at Norm Coleman vs Al Franken. The original count gave Norm Coleman a slight win. In the recount, every correction overwhelmingly went for Al Franken. It happens. And on average, only 40% of eligible voters do vote, so sometimes you would expect the total number of votes in a district to outnumber the total number of registered voters. Doesn't mean there was fraud or duplicate counting.
I've used erlang to write a few utilities. Pattern matching makes it easier to prototype something, particularly binary pattern matching when dealing with network or file structures.
It's the default search engine for IE 8. I accidently used it and it was good enough that I didn't immediately retry in google (which Is what I did when confronted with their previous search engine.)
The magnetic field is believed to prevent solar wind from eroding water and oxygen. If ocean water creates a magnetic field that prevents water from eroding.... that's a serious chicken/egg problem. FWIW, Mars used to have water and may have at one point had a stronger magnetic field than the Earth. It currently has a weak magnetic field and negligible water. Mars doesn't have a large moon to create tides, either.
Stimulus? bwahaha. Earlier this week, Caterpillar (bulldozers and stuff) announced 66 more employees would be laid off, on top of the 400 or so in the last 9 months. This is noteworthy because they (and Barack Obama) had previously stated that the stimulus would prevent this from happening. Maybe if that money was spent on repairing roads and bridges (never forget minnesota!).
So far, the stimulus money has only had one effect: raising interest rates. 46% (or more) of government spending is borrowed money. People with money to lend are getting vocal about the US being a credit risk (Hillary Clinton and Tim Geithner both made trips to China to beg them to keep loaning money). This has resulted in a spike in interest rates which makes it more expensive to refinance mortgages (the one bright spot in our economy) or buy a house.
I'm in the process of buying a house right now and that translates to $10,000 being thrown around my community, mostly to small businesses. Plus I'll be spending another few thousand on furniture and appliances (which will be made in the US if at all possible).
The economy will recover when housing prices deflate to their true value, consumers start buying houses again, and zombie companies (Citibank, BoA, Chrysler, GM) are allowed to fail.
The stimulus should have consisted of an $8000 tax credit for house purchases (to everyone, not just new home owners), ban credit default swaps, ban interest only mortgages, ban option-arm mortgages, and have fannie mae/freddy mac (if not all banks) require 10% downpayment on all mortgages. Get rid of the speculation, get rid of the gambling, get rid of the liar loans.
Exactly. One of the complaints about one-click is that it's obvious; Amazon has the patent because they were there early. Many companies setting up an online store would independently think to add a one-click buying feature (or think of it and decide it was stupid --- one-click is only useful with downloads, IMO). Well, the iPhone is 2 years old. Smart phones are 17 years old (IBM Simon -- 1992/1993). Seventeen years.
There's 2 (configurable) levels of importance. One level, the disconnect button is disabled (the call won't disconnect until the other party hangs up, you run out of battery, or the connection is lost). The other requires you to confirm after you hit the disconnect button.
MS Money running in virtual box is the best finance app for the macintosh, too. Actually, I use 2004 since when I tried 2005 I didn't like the UI as much, but I'm still a little sad to see it go, even if I wasn't planning on upgrading.
Does it work with Wine?
This does show the problem with closed source software (and closed source file formats). If microsoft is killing a product, they should release the file format specs so users can migrate their data. exporting as QIF loses information in the translation.

Tip: "He" has a vagina.
Some of the houses are abandoned. For those which are (legally) occupied, the city offers to move the occupants to nicer housing elsewhere.
They had 125 years to appease them.

Maybe you haven't noticed, but a large portion of the print periodical industry is being unseated without the kindle's help.

Anyhow, a $20 gold coin has a face value of $20. That's what makes it a $20 gold coin.

so you believe that google's algorithm is the absolute best and no one could ever develop a better one?

update: I did a quick search (before trying to reverse engineer it myself) and with a bit of hex editing (and repairing), you can open it with Access

A trial judge can overturn a guilty verdict (JNOV - judgment notwithstanding of verdict), but he (err, E) can't overturn a not guilty verdict.
