If modern = hideous shine effects (ala Windows....and Mac
wait what? the mac does not have hideous shine effects. I just took a pic of some of the native apps (itunes, safari and the system preferences) and I see no shine effects. I guess the window buttons, but they are so small, that does it really count as being overly shiny? http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/7720/screenshot20100401at440.png
Said that, I do prefer gnome over kde.
Assuming you were using firefox (since you are running XP), it will send a theora video which more than likely wont be hardware accelerated. Some H.264 videos will get hardware acceleration if you get a card that supports it. Even some integrated video chips support hardware acceleration for H.264. Once what ever video format gets more momentum and gets hardware acceleration you'll notice how low the cpu an go with it. This is great news for smartphones and other battery (and not very fast cpu) devices as the hardware acceleration would allow for both smoother operation and a lower power consumption.
That said if I were to teach someone how to program now I would probably use javascript.
oh wow, I have so many questions for you. These are my first 3, if you could please answer them:
1. Why the hell.. err sorry.. why would anyone in Hell want to learn programming?
2. Is it really that bad over there?
3. Can I call you Lucy?
There's not exactly a Mayan Rosetta Stone so even all that we know about the language is still premature
This is not entirely correct, as there are still Mayan speaking persons in south mexico. (I bet there's also several in Guatemala). By the way, I had a teacher in HS that has mayan blood in his veins. His brothers (that still live in mexico) published a mayan-spanish dictionary in the 90's.
They were probably stalling for time while they read over the source code to remove all the swear words and personal attacks against coworkers... Man, they should have taken more time so that our outrage wouldn't go away... I need to find another reason to be outraged!1!!! Has apple released all their source code? omg! who is violating the GPL?!?!?

Have you tried installing a 32 bit OS on a VM, like say, virtualbox to talk to the calculator? I know it's not exactly what you want, but it might do the trick.....
other than the great forum, you should try drupal. the forum module in drupal isn't as bad as it used to be, but imo it's not as good as say phpbb. Said that, there's a forum you can integrate easily with drupal, I believe that's the vanilla forum. I'm not sure tho.
(there;s a nice gallery module to integrate gallery 2 into drupal)
as someone else said in this thread, the levels and art assets have always been non-free. With the source out tho, someone can make their own levels and art to form a new game or what ever. Not sure if there are wad's out there for wolfeinstein 3d (PC) that might be tweaked to work.
If you access to a mac and the iphone sdk, then you can install it on your own iphone without paying. So yes, you can definitely use the source code for free. Also, I believe, that if apple has accepted you into their iphone developer program, then you can compile it from source and send the app to up to 100 persons so they can "test it." I'm not entirely sure how the whole 100 person thing works tho.
I went to a Presbyterian HS in Texas. Biology class taught evolution and Bible class had a discussion about evolution and intelligent design. I even watch Planet of the Apes in said Biology class. I'm not Presbyterian, tho; I'm Baptist (please don't hurt me!) . I know a lot of Christians out there that do not have a huge problem with evolution or no problem at all.
I would say that the biggest problem I see with most christians today, is that some groups are polarizing every problem and debate out there so that they can control what is seemed as good or evil. Then of course, you have the problem of a lot of people call themselves christians because their family has always been christian without understanding what christianity means. They do not follow what the bible say. In fact, I'll say, most of them have never read the bible. If you combine the group that wants to control everything by polarizing the problems and the people that want to be identified as christians but have no idea what it means, you can get to where we are right now.
The funny thing is that bible itself has a warning that we shouldn't follow false prophets that hide behind christianity and the bible to hate (like Fred Phelps and company), obtain power and control, etc. I wish everyone could understand that being christian is not a matter of calling yourself one and following certain rules. Everyone can call himself a christian (even you! try it in front of a mirror if you are scared someone can hear you:P ).
can't believe Google will let the contract expire. If for no other reason because it would take one of their competitors and probably at least double their market share.
I agree.. Google has a strong iphone (and ipod touch) connection while still having android. Apparently they also pay apple to be the search engine of choice for safari. So, I'm pretty sure they will gladly pay Mozilla while continue working on Chrome.
no, those vibrations would not destroy teh solid state storage. a direct hit that would shatter, bend or deform it physically would. At the other hand, moving parts become unreliable with vibrations.
I might be wrong, but the point is.. a SSD doesnt have any moving parts that will be "move" in an unwanted fashion once the airplane or just the blackbox is hit. This is specially true for all the vibrations that would go thru blackbox material. The black box itself is supposedly there to protect the disk and other instruments from a direct hit, but vibrations will still go thru.
However, this allows others to take your work & extend it without releasing the improvements back to the community (a good example of this is Apple's treatment of Darwin)
so, I tried to find something wrong with "Apple's treatment of Darwin." I failed. My googlefu didn't work this time. Would you mind explaining why it's wrong? I'm not sure I've heard anything wrong about it before. The only thing I've heard are rumors of Apple stopping the releases of Darwin. But, it seems they released the Leopard equivalent in November.

wrong, the sdk is free. Getting a certificate so you can sell (or give away) your app on the app store is $99
They should have run it against the latest webkit.. it's supposed to be pretty fast..
