  1. Re:Bullet Physics on Comic Book Physics · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Actually, this is explained in John Byrne's mini-series/relaunch The Man Of Steel, in which Ma Kent sews Clark his first costume, and they talk about how the material close to his body seems to become impervious to damage, while something like his cape, which isn't skin-tight gets shredded all the time, because it isn't as close.

  2. At Rutgers... on IPsec on Mac OS X Panther? · · Score: 3, Informative

    When I was an organizer with NJPIRG at Rutgers, I used Bluesocket's IPSEC utility with early Developer's builds of Panther and it worked fine. YMMV.

    Technically, they can, because "America" refers to the continent or continents with "America" in their name. Now if you want to interchange USA with Mexico, that may be a little different...

    Family pack is for 5 liscences, not unlimited, just like the Panther Family Pack.

    Exclusive: HP Working to Get WMA on iPod
    HP's blockbuster deal with Apple will have one exciting side effect, I discovered today. The company will be working with Apple to add support for Microsoft's superior Windows Media Audio (WMA) format to the iPod by mid-year. You heard it here first.
    and apparently you heard wrong!

    The order in which he wrote them was TLTWATHW first, the Magician's Nephew last. I believe he did this because it takes a lot of the magic and wondering out of the series if you know the complete origin of Narnia and the wardrobe. It helped to tie of the one loose end that was left after The Last Battle.

    Take a Microsoft Windows XP or Mac OS X machine out of the box and use it and it operates in a similar manner to LindowsOS - the first person to touch it can do whatever they want.
    Actually, with MacOSX, you have to activate Root via the NetInfo Manager application. Your default user is not completely restricted, but it is not Root.

    Actually, I'm not. I've never posted here AC-style. I'm willing to back up my opinions. I _have_ heard of 2D acceleration. Simply put, you can't make the damn thing move as fast or look as good with only 2D composition.

    Only if implimented poorly. Ever think that the 3d Desktop could be *gasp* faster? Because you leave the CPU open to work on your applications, and use your 3D card to process the OS GUI. Granted, we all assume MS will get it wrong...but maybe!

    And it's impossible to expect any software company to create a bug-free program. While I want this, I know that everything will have bugs. Even some other browsers have some ugs that crash it.

    Note that I'm posting this using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030320 Phoenix/0.5, so it's not like I'm an IE evangelist, I just prefer to look at this things objectively.

    Yeah, I have to say I agree with you. This seems to be a problem that shouldn't be a huge issue, if the coders of the world are producing valid, standard code. It's not MS's job to ensure that this happens (regardless of their own spotty record of producing HTML). I have had Phoenix and Camino and Mozilla all crash at points on random pages, so I can't jump all over IE for this in the spirit of fairness. Sorry, it's just not that big of a deal.
