I imagine that the amount of cursing would have decreased since the 90s, when a computer appeared to be more of a solid box than an industry of makers and users.
Easier to complain about what you don't understand. Now to some degree people are forced to become more computer literate (as they become dependent).
Unfortunately, while the victimising of computers may have changed the fact that stress-inducing problems don't only forces one to change their views on the people involved instead, and your relationship to them. When you experience a problem that escaped hundreds of hours of testing, you begin to see how truly alone you are in your ways.
I no longer scream at the computer for not being about to connect to me, just myself for not being able to connect to the world.
You are omitting depth beyond the screen. To me this has always been the major attraction of stereo 3D (things look huger - same retinal image at greater depth perception).
Desktop and television displays are able to display infinite beyond screen depths quite easily and comfortably.
Realtime generated stereo 3D like games should all have accessible options to tune max/min depths. This is my one wish for the development of 3D gaming.
I'm glad to see a potential player base for this type of RTS. I would also love the ability to select from scripted build orders. Just let me fine tune bits of my second-nature strategies in game and let me concentrate on scouting and such.
I have never wanted to mark anything "troll" more than this in my life. If you can't see how propogating the goals of an educational system which filters its customers through provacation rather than observational is the very trap leading teachers like yourself to fall into that mindset then you'll be shunning the place honesty in communication forever after. The only reason to believe it is true is in order categorise your own self, after which the only honest point you have to make is that you have refused to consider any more about yourself being grouped in "another" or "the other" category.
Education is a dialogue not something you can make up on slashdot. No one has to believe the assumption you refer to, which is the only way to complete the internal logic of anecdotes like you make. Why make it an agenda? I'm guessing you have no idea who's agenda a divisive educational system serves in the end. If students are the paying customers, they should not be made to work for the providers. Categories should not be invented for them just to imagine some meaning to the statistics. No matter how it looks, you are not teaching them how to communicate with you, how to speak the same language you know. If you feel it is impractical to take the time to listen for language with which they can express their goals then that is all one needs to believe, and no more.
And then you should admire the fact you can judge so many of your personal human relations in the same manner, at which point that the teacher-customer view of looking at things break down. You simply cannot overlay a vast predictive mapping of wider social trajectories into the tiny space which immediately separates your personal outlook on life. Only a mindset described in your account secures the fate of learners who lend themselves to approximating their goals with words dictated by agendas of society. If you truly feel that you have known a student to some degree then don't use it to their disadvantage. You are only encouraging someone to someday use the very words you just spoke to your own disadvantage, once they are through analysing your brain structure.
It is my true hope that one day, when micropayments become more efficient or even before that, every artist can use the same idea by simply having a donate button on their website and leaving the rest to the communuity. No reliance on physical or any other kind of centralalised distribution, simply the most efficient experience for everybody.
No matter how hard you try, you just cannot beat fate when hoping to relay something meaningful in latency of your actions. The void in this well-known Animal Crossing story should be more than enough virtual space on or offline for anyone we ever loved http://animalcrossingtragedy.ytmnd.com/
as the top reply states, you can type it exactly as you would in latex, but even better, you can use some effort to memorise a few keyboard binds and save a buckload of keystrokes with equation entry.
and, the spacebar system of navigating equation sections strongly contends for best thing since sliced bread
That's why I do b, and have every intention to live out those days of bbs surfing. I want the information to flow and be treated equally.
It would of course be great if there was a Firefox extension which remembered colour settings for specifc urls...
In the meantime Firefox 3 + force dark background with light text settings + disable flash, and similar settings in my word processor and pdf viewer is keeping the tradition alive
If you consider the first release of NT (NT 3.1) to be the fourth generation of windoze, then NT 6.x = seventh gen does make sense. This should include vista (NT 6.0), but if they are trying to forget then that makes sense too... they are trying to restart the series by saying they have "now" arrived at the new generation. In the end, everyone agrees this is just product rebranding.
I think this is an another example of IT disappearing up its own rear end for a while. If this code was locally installed, whether on a laptop or even a personal server, it would just be seen as a Good Feature. Having locally run solutions means if the code is not open it is at least easier to monitor what that code is doing, and allows the small costs of running the software to be confined and not bloat into management costs for the millions.
IT can do all sorts of stuff needless or otherwise for us, and there would be no problems if it was only for us, and not the life of global billion dollar industries. Having to think twice about implementing every geek fantasy due to online trust issues has got to be a drain. Can't we see that the most important war in IT (and maybe everything) is education? Having your diary, mail, and photo album managed by a company is like saying it's we should all be chauffeured to work and have people come clean our clothes just because it's too difficult to learn how to do it yourself. My hope is that like those examples maintaining personal IT services will will become common knowledge and sense. Monopoly of education is the worse thing that can happen to IT and will stifle a potential global thinktank as long as it exists. These services don't run themselves for free and people should be shown that for the better.
The crowd has shown itself quite capable of teaching, and now the focus should be getting the crowd to be capable of researching. If you believe anything from any expert after seeing it only once you are letting the system break down right there. The most traditional of research cultures have shown that a second reference or more is essential, trying instead to promote the authenticity of the 'expert' in mainstream culture is doing all of academia a disservice.
If you are happy for your consumer equipment to have a guaranteed place in the trash heap every two years then your argument is sound, and you will save lots of money. The earth of course is not as replaceable as our material lifestyle. If there was a more affirmative attitude towards purchasing products which utilised technology better to be useful for longer think about how much waste we could save. Can you really put a price on longterm resource sustainability?
I'm not arguing that the Eee is a bad idea or by definition an outdated machine due to its processing ability, but more about its screen size. Regardless of the power consumption, a screen with 70% more screen size/resolution (i.e. moving up to 10 inch) is going to allow your machine to be viable a lot longer.
To me this is the same reason that current laptop technology is not suited to being the default desktop machine. With a little training by your local geek it is much easier to resource upgrade components and sell them, according to your needs. Cheaper, and actually less wasteful, then laptops, at the cost of having to look after what you own and gain some knowledge about what the world can be.
I agree completely with the joystick and keyboard argument, I sure used it back in the day. Exact same setup. I haven't checked out the latest fps generation but I hope that analog movement gets preserved somewhere in the binding.
Although, I think a thumbstick could perform the analog movement role quite well, maybe even faster for movement changes and more access to buttons. Just like it did in the Goldaneye 2.2 galore days
The move follows widespread international protests and appeals to the President, Hamid Karzai, after the case was highlighted by The Independent and more than 38,000 readers signed our petition to secure justice for Mr Kambaksh. The internet giveth, the internet taketh away.
But, which grouped has conned more people than the other? And which do you think is most likely to still having influence in 50 year's time? To me, threat is more than mere on the spot provacation.
I agree. When I see a research annoucement about AI lying I would like it to be how such choices force an AI to fill in gaps in its original motivational definitions. This would be an ideal way to investigate the evolution of utilitarian logic through observation. In a way, this cuts down the heart of what is freewill and why freedom of choice might be an efficient strategy to navigating even a deterministic universe.

sorry ignore that, knew it was too good to be true... seems to actually be 24 inch
hmm just stumbled across this

How about a 3x optical zoom lens?
Verizon Casio Exilim
Or move to Japan? A camera with a WVGA OLED
KDDI Casio Exilim CA004
5inch 1024x600 touchscreen, touch-typable keyboard, ubuntu preinstalled?

Don't discount the original linux clamshell proponents!

On the other hand, if you replace his use of "science" with "astrophysics" he might just be on to something.

Does this mean that we are suppose to favour QVGA over some of the WVGA (800x480) phones coming out over the last year (especially in Japan)?
