You're right, part of the problem is that many developers come from MS Windows and have tried to recreate what they know. This probably makes it easier for users transitioning from Windows, as well. However, as others have pointed out, this is beginning to change. I'm especially excited about LG. That said, picking the low hanging fruit (to be as good as windows for example) is an obvious first step, but the ambition to leapfrog OS X is a worthier goal.
And yes, I'm a happy OS X user, and I don't mind paying the $129 or whatever every year and a half.
Such errors are called continuity errors, not editing errors. In fact, they're usually noticed in the editing room, but the editor is forced to use that piece because it's the only good take or the director really liked that take or whatever.
Continuity errors are generally the responsibility of the script supervisor (who generally catches many such errors), but everyone on the set is supposed to be watchful for them, especially Hair/Makeup, Wardrobe, and the Art Department. It's not unusual for these departments to take many polaroids to document the work for that day (or that moment) for re-creation the next day, next week, next month.
Seriously, I am. Believe what you want, AC, but not all Republicans strictly adhere to The Party or the party line. Lincoln was a Republican as was Theodore Roosevelt and Eisenhower.
Nixon had aspects of greatness, but he was also a crook. Reagan was a great president. He wasn't without flaws, namely delegating too much (Iran/Contra) to shady subordinates and ignoring issues that he didn't think were important (AIDS), but on the whole he got a great deal accomplished despite having a democrat controlled legislature. Much of the prosperity of the Clinton years was probably due to Reagan's economic policies.
Clinton was acceptable to me because he was fiscally responsible and he was good with foreign policy. For a democrat he was pretty close to the center. It was a damn shame what the Rpublican Party did to him and it makes me ashamed to be a Republican.
Oh, one more thing. The scoundrels that plagued the Reagan Administration? They're in power now.
East Bumblefuck aka East Bumfuck is not a racist term, per se. It generally means "some town", usually "some town out in the hinterland" (as opposed to a major metropolis).
The poster who used this term might be stretching the definition a little, but not violently. He basically means "some place in Asia, but there are so many places I'm not going to bother to enumerate them."
"I do recall the State Department coming to us that week [after September 11]," Clarke testified, saying that the Saudi Embassy felt that in the wake of the terrorist attacks, Arabs in this country, particularly Saudis, might be victims of retribution attacks, and they wanted therefore to take some Saudi students and the Saudi citizens back to their kingdom for safety, and could they be given permission to fly, even though we had grounded all flights. Now, what I recall is that I asked for flight manifests of everyone on board and all of those names need to be directly and individually vetted by the FBI before they were allowed to leave the country. And I also wanted the FBI to sign off even on the concept of Saudis being allowed to leave the country. And as I recall, all of that was done. It is true that members of the bin Laden family were among those who left. We knew that at the time. I can't say much more in open session, but it was a conscious decision with complete review at the highest levels of the State Department and the FBI and the White House.
National Review
Seems like the Republicans are having trouble staying on the same page.
Yeah, the parallels are pretty scary. I'm a registered Republican, and I'm quite disturbed by the "party faithful". One friend, president of a local manufaturing company (steel products) actually believes that Bush was handpicked by God and that Moore is satanic. I thought she was joking, as she is otherwise intelligent. We've agreed to disagree before and have remained friends.
In actual practice and practical effect, Clinton was a better conservative than Bush, and the upper classes were better off. Under Bush, only the super rich are benefiting, especially those close cronies in the energy business. I don't like Kerry, but almost anyone is better than Bush.
Quite willing to tell you that they should be allowed to spend your money where they think its needed regardless of your belief.
Quite willing to tell you that you have no right to tell anyone you disagree with their morals.
I know you tried to give it to both sides equally, but these seem to apply equally to both sides. The difference is that the right says one thing than does the other.
Anyway, you oversimplify, but I still take your point.
Your reading too much into other people's statements indicates that you are experiencing cognitive difficulties, perhaps further indicating the onset of paranoid schizophrenia. Please seek help.
I'm not going to comment on your movie idea, but maybe you should pitch it to Fox.
Well, part of the problems is that owners of such vehicles are having their purchases subsidized in the form of a tax break (to the tune of up to $25,000), regardless of whether it's diesel or gas. Thanks, Bushies!
In just about any other part of the world, the gas prices would discourage most from driving gas SUVs unless there was a real necessity. There should be a financial penalty for most owners of SUVs that I see (I see many, usually with a driver only, invariably on a cell phone, here in Los Angeles), instead of a financial reward. Make 'em pay a "dead soldier tax".
you haven't lived (as a computer geek) until you've worked on a coding project, 20 hours a day for 5 weeks, sitting in a chilly halon-smelling computer room, with a 128-char daisy-wheel printer chattering away in your ear, printing label print jobs you spooled with 'lp sometextfile' 4 months ago... having to cat/cut/grep/uniq that same 'sometextfile' whenever the tractor-feed edge tape gets jammed and you only notice because the temperature in your immediate vicinity has risen because the daisy wheel hasn't noticed and is stuck, typing the names and addresses of 150,000 people, over and over, on the same position on the rubber roll, and the whole thing has started to smoke.

Uh, excuse me, but DVI is not "Digital Video Initiative" in this instance. DVI stands for Digital Visual Interface. DVI is not a "hot new technology. It's been around almost as long as flat panel screens. Remember when 15" desktop LCDs were analog, but some were both digital and analog?
That they gave him 10 million in severance yet he still is whining and talking about bringing lawsuits etc speaks volumes in my mind about the true nature of the situation.
Check out who is lawyer is: David Boies. Did that just raise the volume?

Exact same thing happened to a friend of mine.

ANY WON HOO DISARGEES WITH THE PREDINT IS EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To the radical right, any form of disagreement is heresy, radicalism, and unpatriotic.
