Err, what? FF7? PS2 Memory Card? FF7 can only save on a normal Playstation memory card, the memory cards aren't backward-compatible.
True, that may happen, but once the user types it in so many times (digging out the sheet every time), they've got it committed to memory. Hopefully they're smart enough then to shred it.
Perhaps the single pixel gif never finishes loading. That way, as long as the connection remains open, the web server clocks how long you're on the image.
"The original Freehand yo-yo was the only yo-yo in the world that didn't need to be tied to your hand. With its patented counter-weight system, you can let go of the yo-yo in mid-trick, making the impossible look easy"
No wonder it costs $400! It's got an amazing antigravity device that allows the yo-yo to remain suspended in air after you drop it.
"Hopefully soon the design will make it in to your home PC, allowing them to run much quieter"
What? I wasn't quite aware that computers generated their own power yet... Also, the article says the engines are quite large- probably impossible to be able to use them in a laptop setup. Plus, anyway, power supplies are quite quiet anyway, and they don't generate their own power. The problem with the noise from computers these days is unbearably loud hard drives and harsh fans.
Netscape lost out to IE Apple lost out to Microsoft AltaVista lost out to Google WordPerfect lost out to Word The typewriter lost out to the computer Quark will eventually lose out to InDesign
All of these new products have brought something new to the field. They would have crashed and burned otherwise. I fail to see what this new standard can bring to the masses, and it's really nothing unique that existing software can't do.
Sure, if Flash were a dead program that people weren't ever going to use, this would quickly surpass it. However, it isn't.
Vector graphics at the time were a new concept and were introduced to a non-saturated Internet market. The 'Net was still in its developing stages, and people had no vector animation tools already.
The situation is completely different today. This is a foray into an already saturated market as Flash dominates the field and wipes the floor clean with the blood of its competitors.
Where's the incentive in producing this supposedely high-caliber product if only to make it free and/or cheap? It wouldn't be beneficial for any companies involved.
This being a standard in browsers will be a hard-to-come-by thing. Although it appears to have W3C standards, everybody seems to have their own little ways to distort the standards.
Plus, vector graphics in flash load fast anyway. Have you ever seen a (well-designed) flash banner slow your page load?
With Flash so popular on the Internet for multimedia presentation (used from everything to full-motion video), I fail to see how any other initiatives (even those backed by Microsoft) can manage to eat into the radical marketshare of Flash. These days, you see flash taking the place of all client-side drawing, from games to its intended use of vector animation to entire layouts for websites. Flash has evolved past simple vector drawings and is now, unfortunately, a part of the Internet that will probably be here to stay, with its annoying audio and annoying ads.
Even if it is incorporated into IE, web developers will see no reason to switch to this new technology. Microsoft often reserves new initiatives for higher versions of Internet Explorer and leaves the older users in the dust, telling them to upgrade. With such a wide majority of users reluctant to upgrade, it'd be kind of pointless for webmasters to use this instead of flash.
That's odd, my situation is totally backwards. My home-built machine with AMD stock fan is MUCH quieter than the Dell machine. The dell machine really annoys the hell out of you (you really can't work), and what's more, the sound seems like it's warbling, so it's not even a constant drone. It cuts off completely when it's cold in the room, though... but soon it starts rattling again.
The problem here is it PROBABLY IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN! About your analogy with planet X and planet Y, you DON'T ONLY HAVE ONE WEEK. You don't KNOW if there's going to be another attack! Checking the IDs of the planet X folks is FINE, but that's what we're already doing. Now DENYING THEM entry is something completely beyond it.
See, in most other countries, the system of upper-level education is horrid. If these people don't get to the United States to study in a prestigious university and get a PhD, MD, or whatever, they DON'T HAVE A LIFE IN FRONT OF THEM. If they stay in their respective countries, they can't get the education they need.

Even though the link they tell you to go to to upgrade to a 'standards-compliant' browser, which INCLUDES MOZILLA in that link, they say I'm not compatible. Can't find anywhere to email them either.
There is no parity in a RAID 10 array. Basically it's like this: we have a Drive A and a Drive B. Writes are striped across these drives. Drive A consists of A-1 and A-2, which mirror each other. Same goes for Drive B.
Therefore, you can lose Drive A-1 and B-1, A-2 and B-1, and so on, but you CAN'T lose drives A-1 and A-2, since then that would leave you with a complete B, which doesn't do any good, as it's half of a striped array.

Oh, and goatse.cx isn't that bad
Right. However, the heterosexual group believes that goatse is one of the most disturburing images we've ever seen. It's all about perspective.
An explanation of the above logic:
p->q means !q->!p. (contrapositive is always true) - that means
if it's not safe for kids -> it's not in kids.us.
(which is obviously true)
So, if q->p was true (the converse is true), then the inverse, !p->!q would be true which means
if it's not in kids.us -> it's not safe for kids
(which obviously isn't true.)
