I haven't noticed this on my iBook, really, a 2001 Rev A white iBook. I say "really" because I'm only getting a few days life in sleep mode, where I used to get about a week, but I assumed that was because I recently changed my sleep settings.
Think about how cheaply one could produce a tiny embedded comp with the C64's specs. And trying to get a window manager and web browser working on such an underpowered piece of hardware is good practice for doing more practical things with comparable hardware.
Good post. It's interesting to point out that the argument is biologically suspect, too: I think you'd find that verbal display behaviors are far more important guides for humans for choosing mates.
According to XEphem, all four Galileans should be visible tonight with I think Europa and Callisto (or is it Io and Callisto) so close they'll be hard to separate). I'm unlucky enough to be in a badly, badly light-polluted area and so can't check it out myself.
A body is the satellite of any larger body located at one of the foci of its orbital ellipse. A moon is any natural satellite of a planet. A planet is a natural satellite of a star exactly equal to or larger in size than Pluto (according to this week's definition). A star is a large body that shines in visible light due to fusion (or former stars, like collapsars). Anything the size of a star that doesn't shine in the visible, or smaller than a planet which is a natural satellite of a star, is going to be hard to categorize with our current taxonomy.
Because part of the stylistic point of the original Matrix movie was to render an anime story in a live-action movie. Cross-pollination. And you'll have noticed how much the "Matrix" style is beginning to infiltrate live-action movies (even Star Wars - the flying car chase in AOTC is rather anime-ish).
As far as a Japanese reader is concerned, if it is rendered in hiragana or kanji, it's a Japanese or Chinese word; if it is rendered in katakana, it is a foreign word. The issue is less about etymology than writing system. Is the word "anime" rendered in katakana, or otherwise?
Why not just rewrite as much software as possible to be platform independent, and get rid of the emulator altogether? And if the software you need is from MS, find a competitor who will confront them in the marketplace.
I believe the maneuver is called "impeaching" a witness: proving that the witness said one thing in the past that flatly contradicts what they are saying the present. But I am not a lawyer.
Yes, $100M is a typo for $100B. As I hope most of you guessed. And it's a very, very loose figure. It is, interestingly enough, on the same order of magnitude as the cost for a Mars expedition.
And then when they do work, NASA turns around and gives $100M to a competing proposal that isn't proven, is five times more ambitious and 20 times more expensive. Google "Delta Clipper SSTO"
Because life requires the presence of chemical reactions that are both stable and provide a certain amount of energy, and the rest of the periodic table ain't that good at it. But that's ok, because CHON are all quite common in the universe.
Face it, the shuttle's design has been so badly compromised by decades of financial finagling that it is nothing like the "reusable" craft, launched from the back of a mother-craft, that it was first designed as (originally the fuel-tank-plus-boosters design was supposed to be a temporary solution until the launch craft was designed). We're about to spend $100M on occupying Iraq. How much would it have cost to develop a decent shuttle?
By what definition, exactly, is OS X not UNIX, though? (I had thought the OpenGroup had certified it early last year, but saw no sign of that on their site; so much for that idea.) You've got to have a pretty artificial definition of UNIX to exclude the BSDs and OS X (so far as I can see, the Mach kernel is the main difference, the Cocoa libraries, and the GUI; really no more than Linux).
Unix may be dying on the server, as it is replaced with Linux (however, I think it's more accurate to say that proprietary Unices are dying on the desktop, being replaced with Linux and BSD and the like).
However, proprietary Unix (as OS X) is killing on the desktop. It's starting to slowly gain marketshare from Windows.
Since the person installing probably is an administrator, it only makes sense to give the installer admin access. He can then create and change permissions at will later.
You don't have to work this hard to find thing to criticize about MS.
Because they were too young to remember 3.1, I imagine. Me, I learned on VMS and a TRS-80 (torture, absolute torture, compared to OS X). If it's got a command line, I'm home.
Anybody else ever notice that the scene with the three raider ships looping into the atmosphere of some planet that used to be shown in the beginning credits of some series of B5 were directly ripped off from a similiar scene of 3 Cylon ships looping in the skies over Capricorn in BG? I wonder what other influences there may have been?
My brother and I did that too: disassembled our Cylon and Viper ships and filed off the pieces that kept them from firing. I suppose that was a very, very early kind of hacking.

Broadcast a message, in the clear, about having to use the Corbomite device (was used twice).
Aren't these just Hohmann orbits? Didn't any of you folks read "Interplanetary Flight" when you young?

Neo is also the word for "neo" in Greek ("neas"). Neo = new one. Or Young / One. You get the idea.

Nope, just sarcastic.

It's from 1995, for goodness sake. So Ritchie didn't forsee the NeXT takeover of Apple? Big deal.

They were running in 1979. It's gotta be CP/M. Of course, Imperious Leader runs on VMS.
He he ... maybe they're just out of control DEC Rainbows.
