Sounds like you never saw ANY Star Trek. It never was about fighting, it always was "diplomacy whenever possible."
How many times Kirk had to discuss with some alien race (well, most of the time, Spock) about our "old, barbarian ways" and how we learnt how to be civilized.
How many times Q called humans "barbarians" to Picard?
Star Trek was always "brains over power", fight only when it really needs.
As someone who worked with the iPhone SDK, I can say that iPhone Nano is not going to happen anytime soon. Reason: There is no layout managers in the SDK so, if you want your button to be in the right side, you have to provide a position in pixels from the left side. If Apple build a smaller version of the screen, about 90% of all AppStore applications would not work properly. Either that or you'd have very small buttons all over the place and it'd be really hard to read anything in the screen ('cause you need to keep same aspect ratio of the "normal" iPhone.)
You say that 'cause you're not getting that 100k. If you did, you'd think "Heck, I worked my ass to get 100k per year and this ingrate, which I pay a house and health, keeps complaining about his job!"
I'm not saying that you *should* think like that. I'm saying this 'cause it's a fact. Most people with a lot of money don't care about the ones who couldn't have the luck of having so much money.
I think the problem is that people don't understand the story behind Diablo.
Diablo 1 events took very long, from King Leoric fall, the death of Prince Albrecht and the appearance of our hero. Also notice that the story says that several other heroes came to Tristam to find fame and fortune, but never came back from the dungeons. So, the place was completely defiled when you start the game.
Diablo 2 events, which should start some time after Diablo is defeated in the first game, find a kinda nice place, except for Kurast, which has been defiled by Mephisto. Also, you move from far away to Tristam, so the land is not defiled by the evils yet.
Diablo 3, as I could understand by the video, seems to take 20 years after the defeat of all Prime Evils and the game starts just after the fall of the meteor. So I would expect that there was no time to have the land and the dungeons defiled.
I like to bash Microsoft too, so let me ask: Why this sounds like it's a Vista problem and not a "generic operating system" problem? I don't see people saying that Linux wasn't designed to SSD...
Apple is making a strong move I feel with Snow Leopard. People like Leopard. They are releasing Leopard, but "better". Now you are being a little bit naive. Saying that Apple is doing right when Leopard (while completely leaving people running Tiger on their PowerPCs) is right and Microsoft dumping XP is bad is really short signed.
I know a bunch of people that completely refuse to use Leopard. They have the first version MacBooks, where Tiger runs faster than Leopard. They completely hate the visual effects on Leopard.
I'm not sure, but your post sounds like a fanboism (and I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but that's the impression you gave me.)
Their product is not a simple programming editor. It's a full featured collaboration editor, which means more than one people can edit the same file, at the same time and everyone can see the changes. Comparing it to, say, Vim or TextMate, is unfair, 'cause none of those tools offer such functionality.
At the same time, one has to wonder: How many times two or more programmers edit the same file at the same time?
My experience says: very few times. Most of the times, they are different changes (e.g., I'm working on something and they dude next to me is editing the same file, but fixing another bug.) And, when that happens, the SCM tool will complain about conflicts or simply do the merge and that's it. I guess I'd be freaking annoyed if text on my screen start changing around; it would completely kill my (short) attention spam.
The problem is the same, either a compile- or run-time option: You have to maintain two different pieces of code that basically do the same thing.
I can understand the problem Pidgin developers point and I can agree with their point as a developer. As a user, I still have to see if that really affects me (e.g., does this annoy me?) Right now, I'm away from my Linux box and I'm using Adium mostly.
From the article:
Whether in the boardroom or on the battlefield, most of the opponents Iron Man confronts usually have some sort of ties to society and politics; ties which Stark has often used to his advantage. But Zeke Stane is a very different sort of enemy than what Stark is used to. "Zeke is a post-national business man and kind of an open source ideological terrorist," explained Fraction, appropriately putting the contrast into software terms. "He has absolutely no loyalty to any sort of law, creed, or credo. He doesn't want to beat Tony Stark, he wants to make him obsolete. Windows wants to be on every computer desktop in the world, but Linux and Stane want to destroy the desktop. He's the open source to Stark's closed source oppressiveness. He has no headquarters, no base, and no bank account. He's a true ghost in the machine; completely off the grid, flexible, and mobile. That absolutely flies in the face of Tony's received business wisdom and in the way business is done. There are banks and lawyers and you have facilities and testing. Stane is a much more different animal. He's a much smarter, more mobile and much quicker to respond and evolved futurist." Yeah, it sounds bad. But then you find "he's the open source to Stark's closed source oppressiveness. [...] He's a tru ghost in the machine; completely off the grid, flexible and mobile." Makes you almost like the guy already.
I'm not sure about being respected after this. I guess some people will ask themselves "if this standard was approved in such a way, what about all the others?" (and, honestly, I'm asking this myself right now.)
The fact that this is the first time such thing happens is just because people in this standard are way more vocal and know how to use the current media (internet.)
AFAI read somewhere, it looks like they used their own account to send the emails. And Google SMTP requires authentication. They could've used the user password, but this would make the email with the login and password appear in the "sent" folder.
As someone pointed somewhere else (sorry, I have several Mac things, since I'm a new Mac user), there is an Graphics Update update after you upgrade the system. Just in case, open the software update again and check if there is something new.
I was about to suggest that, plus some 256mb SD cards for the photos. Take the pictures, just send a small piece back home, get another one, fill it up.... I guess it would be cheaper than buying a laptop just to burn photo CDs.
If you can, try the thumb keyboard that comes with Nokia internet tablets (N770, N800, N810.) I played with the iPhone keyboard and it is terrible compared with the thumb keyboard.
Slashdot Mirror
Also, if you replace the song in the new trailer by the theme of "Beverly Hills 90210", it still looks like the shit they were handing before.
Take a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RciBTtckeXg
It's footage of the old series using the sounds (and music) from the new series. And it looks a lot better than the *current* trailer.

IF you decide to mine. I'm doing the missions this time (second character) and it's far away from boring (weeee! Firing three ships at the same time!)

6 hours? "l2grind, noob"
Well, we won't need to hardcode sizes if the iPhone SDK had a layout manager of sorts...

Runs NetBSD! And Java!

Come on, guys! If they would pay last royalties, this means the songs will be cheaper, right?

Good for you. I didn't get a thing about it.
(Yes, I know you were being sarcastic, but it seems the mods didn't get it and I'm just following them.)
