Even though I'm vegetarian and apart from the racial slur I think there's some merit to what the couchslug said. I just wish you guys would take more care of your food before you process it. Maybe you could set up game parks with exotic species as long as you brought their population back to above endangered levels before hunting them.
I applaud your generosity however I feel a bit ripped off along a similar line. When my fist was born, I cut the umbilical cord and then a nurse took a cord blood extract. I asked what it was for and she said "someone's research project". I wasn't asked for permission and the hospital has no record of it. I don't necessarily have anything against medical research but taking a sample without permission is unethical IMO.
For various values of well. I happen to like PHP but look at the nightmare it caused for the Facebook team. Yeah, you can always throw more hardware at something but that doesn't make it the best tool for the job.
It's good that they're opening up RTMP but they just released RTMFP/Stratus which looks like it's going to be very interesting. I want to create a system based on top of RTMFP but I don't want that system to be at the mercy of Adobe. Hopefully someone (like the guys behind Red5) will reverse engineer the Stratus interface.
Single people are discriminated against regardless of sexual orientation.
Married people are discriminated against too. E.g. Who will be willing to pull longer hours at work, a married or single person? Nearly everyone is discriminated against in one way or another.
In the case of Google Movies, the service presented itself to me when I was performed a related search.
I quite like Google Movies, I find it so much easier than navigating and comparing multiple buggy cinema franchise websites. Obviously to book online I still need to deal with the said sites but Google make it much easier to find out what's on when, where and they include results from independent operators. Also the meta data relating to popularity and aggregated reviews are useful.
As Shaun and countless others have said in similar threads, it's highly unlikely that you would turn armed forces against their people. I mean that's who their fighting to defend in the first place. Enemies can be easily demonized and reasonably anonymous. You'd more likely have mass mutiny on your hands.
Yeah, Mine are 6.8 and 2.6. Both are extremely bright, however the younger one would be more interested in ripping the key-caps off my laptop than reading anything on the screen. The older one is a good age for learning to use her computer/explore the internet, I was about her age when I started learning programming. It would be appropriate to show the younger one colourful flashy things together on my computer but not to give her one.
why does it surprise you? have you never been to google.com or seen the official Google logo?
Of course I have, it's not the colours that surprise me it's the lack of... je nais se quoi.
from the very start Google's used clashing primary colors with a homely serif font for their official logo. at first i thought it looked tacky & unprofessional (and it was), but over time it's grown on me.
Over time it has been professionally polished (compare the 3rd revision), Google do hire excellent graphic artists and user interface designers.
something that's very sleek & glossy or highly-stylized just wouldn't fit with Google's familiar spartan (and slightly offbeat) image. i mean, if you look at Google's web services like Gmail, Google Calendar, Docs, etc., they all have fairly plain and simple layouts. their designs are functional and modest. this is in stark contrast with the flashy, and often cluttered, web pages of companies like Yahoo!, Microsoft, and the popular early search portals.
Are you confusing flashy and cluttered with good design? The best -- and hardest to construct -- designs in any medium are almost always minimal. It's much harder to create a good minimal design than to cram stuff in.
it's a little ironic as Google is primarily an advertising company, but they don't have that 'multi-million-dollar marketing budget' look. this probably contributes to their popularity as Google's web services aren't as intimidating to non-geeks and computer novices who may be turned off by the slick interfaces and flashy layouts other sites strive for.
Not advertising, maybe media agency. Easily millions have been spent on Google's image not to mention it's interfaces. I'd say their popularity comes from the quality of the search results combined with a minimal interface.
Lastly, I'd say that the average punter is impressed by flashy crap.
What comes to mind for me is just how obsessed many people are with the Google favicon.
You mean like the Slashdot editors who think it's important enough to put on the front page?
Well, I noticed it first thing this morning when I started my workstation. Personally I think it's damn ugly -- which surprised me for Google. Maybe I'll put a custom one in my userChrome.css.

Free range is better for you.

Pedantry is generally a solo pursuit.
They're already writing extensions to Firefox and I like Firefox extensions enough that I won't consider using another browser for my primary use.
I so want a chevaline.

You know, I read that as Black Fella's, must be an Australian thing.
At least it's not about static versus dynamic typing, for once! :)
And how does a duck type!?
Something that's going to fail this year:

Well, one can hope.

That's sooo 0's.
Informative, LOL.

Hey, he was just ahead of his time.
I'm sure that's the way some kids will be programming in the future.
The one article where the trolls and flamebait would be on-topic and you go and post a reasonable FP!
Solar.
Or if you already had a fire and had just eaten, want has multiple meanings (syn: desire; lack).
Why are we even discussing what some anonymous retard said anyway!?
I don't think I'd like to work for a company that personality-tested technical candidates as part of their screening process.
I don't really have a problem with PHB's pulling this kind of shit so they feel they can better herd their cats.
Care to expand on "vegans"?
