Now, this truely shows off technology at its best. I mean where the hell are its bionic limbs, or it's thermal imaging, or even it's fricking lasers. Its a goddamn gormless bloke being led by a dog. Pathetic.
One and the same cause my friend. Options, choice, favoritism. Personally I find Mozilla to have slightly more speed/ a more friendly design, I keep trying each version of Opera, and find any option available, available to me in Mozilla, but in a format I'm more comfortable with. If you were to argue equally for Opera, I couldn't disagree with any real vigour.
The only browser that appears to be falling behind would be IE, but then it hasn't released a new version in quite sometime(I mean lets face it, even the favorites tab is lacking in the current generation), but at the current time it is certainly lacking.
Word of mouth helps a great deal. I've introduced a few of my friends to the joys of Mozilla's lack of pop ups, and considering their usual internet browsing preferences, this has been a great boon to them.
The tabbing ability, though not immediately apparent, is another great benefit for them(as generally the use of shortcuts to opening a new window is not something they are used to), and is something they have grown to love.
Okay, now I know I should be flaming Microsoft and everything, but wasn't this purely a case of better product? I seem to remember IE being the big pretender, only to constantly revise it's software into something that was actually better than Netscape's. Anyone who actually tried to design for 4.7 and its ilk was faced with probably one of the more buggy products. IE(before Mozilla) was one of the products I gave Microsoft credit for.
Apparently, theres good eatings on cats, just be careful during the breeding not too breathe in too deeply.
On a related note, anyone care to enlighten me as to what the most desirable quality an eating cat should have, these ones seems to have been bred into a form most unlike any feline I've encountered. Oh, and what the hell is a Chinese ferret badger?
Amazing how useless information suddenly becomes useful.
Thing is for the shows I most want to listen to, they are already archived for my listening pleasure, though I'm sure they could save some space by removing the abomination that is the Archers.
NO LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. In no event shall Microsoft or its suppliers be liable for any damages whatsoever (including, without limitation, damages for loss of business profits, business interruption, loss of business information, or any other pecuniary loss) arising out of the use of or inability to use this Microsoft product, even if Microsoft has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Because some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply to you.
Not a hell of a lot of differences in the licenses, the only difference would probably be the author of the GPL would be directly liable(think engineer) whereas, Microsoft as a whole will be liable for any faults if this case gets by.
What are the benefits of this besides tripping out? Do blind people learn to see art by smelling it? Do deaf people learn concerts as colors?
Doubtful, there needs to be a sensory perception of the event to make any link to a different sense. So the blind would not be able to appreciate a painting, the deaf might well be able to gain some appreciation of music through the vibrations, but this is not a form of synesthesia.
Perhaps synesthesia is just a misfiring of other recognitions the brain fires at you, i.e hearing a hiss or seeing red gives me a warning signal, whereas in these peoples cases seeing a symbol has been associated with a colour. Might be a possible explanations
If we're adding accessories, can I add a couple and remove one, take away that keyboard , add a touch screen, put in a mobile phone, and you have something I might be interested in. Oh and make it fit in my back pocket. Sort of like a Ericsson p800 Mark X. That I might be interested, as long as I could whack a version of mame on there, and perhaps a GBA emulator, and maybe a corkscrew.
I am concerned that when all of this is said and done, only users of a Microsoft OS will not receive spam.;-)
Or you would have to at least register your details with them.
I've often wondered why spam hasn't been dealt with along the lines of virus protection, i.e you pay a subscription to keep your records of spam locations up to date and thus able to block those offenders. Though I must admit, setting simple rules on the mail client has kept me largely free of the sifting through spam, and the potential harm to me of receiving mail pointing out the wisdom in giving my bank details to a rich Nigerian, is not really worth the cost of subscription.
Yeah, it would have made a great movie, but only because it has zombies in it, I mean it's not like a movie was going to be based on any other plot line the game had. Which is my problem with setting games on movies, its just a background to have actors run around in, not even a landscape.
I can only really think of Final Fantasy where you could even vaguely base a movie on its plot, and even then it will be a pretty damn thin plotline. Game based movies have to be of the action variety at the moment, there is no character development, no intrigue, no qualities to make a decent script from. Games are only approaching the levels of cheap, cliched comic book story telling, and until they reach Watchman status, the only thing I want to see in game based movies are explosions, zombies and hot chicks.
Science is essentially the study of nature, and, nature, how dangerous can it be? Well unless that nature decides to use its science and presses the trigger. So I guess you are right, our main threats of annihilation are the sun, the moon, the stars, and us, but at least it will be a natural death.
No, penguins eat Polar bears, they were so prolific in their dining habits that they drove the species into extinction on the south pole.
Slightly more on topic, Microsoft's limits on XML support means that customers looking for true portability of their data will have to buy the most expensive version of Office.
I think says it all, want an extra feature, well that extra feature costs more. And lets face it portability of data will not really be a concern for the average home users, who probably don't care, and probably don't know that there is an alternative. Whether people who do want true portability of their data will consider this extra expense as the final straw for their continuing use of Office is a different question. Though I doubt it will have too much effect, at least not yet.
What I want is cameras attatched to those tanks, that image broadcast back to my computer, and for one hell of a death match going on, with my house and its furniture being the battle arena.
If you could define the parameters/dimensions of the battlefield, you could easily place virtual powerups, viewable through your monitor, perhaps some kind of radar system. It could be the ultimate in toys. Now instead of tanks, lets use radio controlled, flying cockroaches and you have the potential for one hell of a game.
The thing is there are concepts around today that are very hard to describe using anything but a structured language to a friend. They may be able to get the gist of the idea or vague notion, but until it is placed within a tight framework, there will always be vagueries that will then need to be defined in a strutured language.
My point was in describing those. I guess that the product could be refined over time, but the quickest way would be to formalize the concept in a formal language.
Spoken language is far too full of grammatical bodges and fixes to become a structure logical enough for a programming language. If it had a structure similar to English/French etc when it came to compilation/interpretation there would have to be guesses as to what was meant. Language tends to rely too heavily on context and interpretation of context. The closest we could come would be a form of legalese, which would be more taxing to debug than any perl program.

Blue? Yeah I felt kinda of blue, sort of got into a reflective kind of mood, but still, at least I've got my own external/internal mirror now.
Pffff, who needs antibiotics, when you can make your own colloidal silver generator.
Gatpor/Gator, methinks Trend Micro might be involved somewhere.
I think the item that took my interest was this. Ever get the feeling that nothing ever actually gets done in the House of Lords?

Is that the daedalus version, I haven't tried it out yet. Is it any good?
I don't know, this still seems to work.
And a typical Microsoft EULA, :-

Seemed to do well this time around (ask the Kuwaitis and the American soldiers on the ground).
Just not for the British or the Americans in the air I guess

In similar news, Jedi is Britains forth most popular religion. America just catching up perhaps?

So I guess I'm getting what I want.
Ooh! Ooh! I want a car with an extra hole in the engine!
As with most of Carmacks engines, I'm sure there'll be a mod somewhere that'll both fix the hole and create a capture the flag mode.

No, penguins eat Polar bears, they were so prolific in their dining habits that they drove the species into extinction on the south pole.
