I s'pose her outfits are really just fan service, but I think her style at least fits her character. The show seems to allude to how hard it was for her, as a child, to control a complete cybernetic body. She may have a femininity/tough guy/body issues. The whole point of the series seems to be that we rarely see how she feels, she's too focused and exercises complete self-control, in order to do her job. I always wondered if the movies and the anime give more hints.
Kaya was proportedly created to be a virtual newscaster, or some such. She was designed to have big teeth, pudgy nose, blemished skin -- all traits humans find unattractive, so as to appear non-threatening. In some ways she is the antithesis of this contest, and your complaint. Just a little FYI. They don't HAVE to be virtual sex toys, they could be giving you updated information at a mall kisok, for example.
I've dropped back to version 1.0.7 myself. Ever since the RC 4, I've noticed that Firefox has dropped my favorite feature -- going down a cookie list and blocking some permanantly.
What do you call something man-made orbiting the Sun, packed with electronics? I think the solar observation thingys are called satellites. Both the comet and the impactor remain in the solar system, so they're in orbit. That the impactor had sensors and manovering thrusters is sort of new to a lot of people. Meh.. maybe we should just call everything a probe instead.
Any impact yet on this pending legal case:
the story
I find myself wondering who the "In fact, he says, there are a number of scientists there [in the US] who would be glad to sue NASA.
Yeah... but it was never explained to my satisfaction how coffee was able to be hot enough to cause a third degree burn, which by definition is a charring of tissue. That particular bit always seemed to me like intelligence and logic were conquered by a compeling manipulation of the facts by crafty lawyers feeding gullible jurors what they wanted to hear.
Yeah, I know what MickeyD's did. They knew it was hot, it had burned people in the past, and company memos noted that they were burning people, but the smell of the coffe was aiding impulse buys. I know that. But how do you char flesh with a liquid stored in a thin paper cup?
Meh... more likely some old guy high up in the brass found that it was based on mythology, Western mythology to top it all off, and decided to descriminate. The last thing any military wants from recruits is ideas "outside the box".
Creativity, teamwork are all nice, in any field. But I'll bet any boss is going to critical of someone who talks like "My elf has 127 hp, with a power rating of... and so I can take on a group of 10 orcs, no problem"
Likewise, I never installed Flash, I always wanted to avoid stupid animated adverts, in addition to exploits.
However, just today, I was pointed to the Flashblock extension for Firefox -- http://flashblock.mozdev.org/installation.html . Now I can have my Strongbad emails without worrying abut exploits.
This site, culls news services for the most common word. Not the best topic, or most important topic, just counts what people are writing about and lets you see the headlines. It may be the closest thing yet to a non-biased news source.
I felt the irony too, and here's why. Its the damn cheery Win XP layout that just sort of screams at you. You have to download, install, scan, and then (probably) confirm that you want something with an obscure name copied to some obscure directory on your hard disk.
If Microsoft can't plug the hole, why's there a dialog box: "Do you want to uninstall the keylogger?" I think its all these layers and cartoons for something that could just be buried in the OS that may just irk some people.
But those people are all just those wacky Linux/Mozilla geeks, so pay them no mind.
Geeks who were online found out about it pretty quickly. I heard about it on Fark.:P People in fishing villages and vacation sites my have missed the info, to their peril.
If you need a tech discussion, here's one, "How can you get the info to the people who needed it?"
Once the earthquake hit with a sea floor epicenter, everyone with a web browser knew a tsunami was going to hit somewhere. Again, no way to tell the people who needed the information. Seemed like the only thing we could do was just wait for news of further death.
about Windows XP is the stupid help system contating the internet whenever I clicked on it. Windows didn't have to phone home and display a fancy GUI dialog just cause I forgot a command. Wait and see, there'll be more Windows Help system exploits.
An article in Media Week reports that the complaints about the famous wardrobe malfuction at the superbowl was all from the same group -- a bunch of copies of the same letter. The FCC claims they didn't notice they were getting a bunch of near photocopies, I figure it pleases both the Religious right and liberals (or did you all forget Sen. Liberman vs. video games and Tipper Gore with the PMRC). This is the perfect bipartisan issue that can't fail.
OK. I use Mozilla anyway, so I shouldn't care about this particular bug. But the last couple mentioned here on/. that affected Mozilla, used Javascript to transfer data entered from one window to another. There's been a few of these, so I disabled Javascript and turn it on only when needed. Is this such a hard workaround? If you like IE, and you need ActiveX, can you just leave it off until a webpage needs it? There's going to be hundreds of these exploits popping up -- no one can fix them all.
Many sites take Wikipedia articles and repost them. You can find them by googling for a topic and Wikipedia. The text will appear under numerous links other than Wikipedia. The articles are sometimes credited, sometimes not. Presumably, people update their copy of the Wikipedia article whenever they feel like it, so they don't end up repeating bogus stories. You can tell because the article matches something from the history on Wikipedia.
Just don't delete spam. Sooner or later, your mailbox will fill up. After a couple days of mail bounceing, many spammers give up. They may even remove you from mailing lists. It's not like its your server getting filled up.
Darn it, this is the opposite of the very basics of style I learned. Two or three exclamation points don't make your writing any more powerful, its the words you chose that add urgency or importance. Likewise for the online wierdness of ALL CAPS.
So many people think everything they say has to be beaten over the head of the reader. My last company's Safety Director would send us a Email from tome to time, usually on a work related topic, but sometimes he'd be repeating an urban legend (example: car phone igniting gasoline vapors). He's use all caps, larger font, red color -- to me, it looked like he was trying too hard to be more important than he realy was.
1). The new format wastes screen real estate. The default forces you to view a summary of the posts, with a left sidebar of where you've been lately, and a right sidebar of other messages. I liked it better when I simply got a complete list.
2). Looking at titles only causes the subject text to overwrite the date field, in a jumble of characters. Now, this may be because I'm using Mozilla, on Linux -- Windows with IE may handle the fonts better.
3). The old format had a click on the username, to instantly link to a search for that username on Google groups. I'd never respond to a new usenet posting until it arrived on Google and I was able to do this -- it's crucial to determining who's a troll. Even if trolling is not a problem, the ability to check the quality of the information by what the person's said before is important. You can do it here on/., you know.
4). I liked browsing sci.chem.analytical, comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.chips , or even rec.crafts.brewing in a clean format. I don't need to join a Google groups clone of Yahoo groups and participate in the newbie love-fest. (If I've missed other sources of web-based Usenet archives, I'd like to hear about them)
