The "3D" in "3D TV" and the "3D" in WebGL are two different things. WebGL just defines a way to project 3D geometry into a display plane. This display plane may or may not be presented with binocular separation, which is what the "3D" in "3D TV" and "Nintendo 3DS" means.
That was the most useful comment of all till now. Please, mod it up!
Thanks; that's exactly my point. Or, sometimes I need to get that data and validate it - by making a pivot table. Isnt't easier if I just do everything in the same UI?
(disclaimer: I know OLAP, Pentaho, Mondrian and it's all good things - except if you need to do an one time analysis! I don't want to spend hours setting up cubes and everything for something that will be made once and never again! That's why I use spreadsheets.)
Yes, I end up doing this once in a while. I also use R, Perl, PHP, or even bash to process some data. However, in some cases it is handy to have a view of the data while you're processing it.
For instance, suppose you need to run a regexp function over the 12nd column of a matrix; usually I save data as a CSV, cat file.csv | perl -ne '@a=split/,/; $tmp = $a[11];.... ' > new_file.csv, load the new CSV, check for errors, debug, repeat... sometimes is just a one-time task I need to do.
So I think you'll never fully appreciate the culture.
For instance, you can't really understand the japanese language different modes unless you learn the social context they're expected to be used. And vice-versa.
20,000 years after the invention of which space travel? In the prequel series people were using ftl but not 'instawarp' technology and had been using it for some unspecified amount of time. Maybe you are referring to the invention of the space-folding 'navigator' space travel?
For what I remember, that's not specified - I always guessed that it'll be around 21,969 AD. Navigators started after the discovery of Dune and the spice (before that people were warping randomly through the space), but I never had the stomach to face all the Brian Herbert books (to read the sequence to the traditional books was painful enough) and learn enough what happened before Dune.
Gosh.
"Dune" is 20.000 years after the invention of space travel. The god emperor is around 4.000 yrars after that. Then the Chapterhose is around 1.500 years after the death of Leto II.
Am I the only one around here that read each god damn book at least ten times?
Agree with you. However, it was their motto, and delivering an ugly, incomplete application like Apple Maps shows that they aren't even trying to fool people into think that "it just work".
I agree that that map app is flawed, but first releases of anything usually is. I have no doubt that this will be fixed in short order as Apple has gobs of money to throw at the problem and knowledge of where the problems are.
There is no better beta test than a general release.
What happened to "It Just Works"?
The only reason why I use Apple is because they have well finished, polished software that are reliable and very pleasant to use. If I wanted beta apps I wouldn't pay that much on an iPhone or iPad.
Yes, it's illegal here to fire someone for refusing to break a law. However, we're smart as hell and we don't need to tell why we're firing someone.
Like anywhere else in the world, I guess
There's an instance of this same name in a article published today in/. about Magic the Gathering. It's a name of some card. So I guess it's an expression on public domain already. Therefore, the C&D letter is a troll.
As for me, I had a 2008 black macbook which worked flawlessly, but in the beginning of this year, it started to turn off by itself once a week. I bought a imac, transfered the data from the macbook and went 1 month without even looking at it.
When I tried to use it again, the battery, which was at 95% health when I last used it, was completely useless: it wouldn't charge, reset, or any trick I could find in the internet. I removed a memory module (which was faulty, and the reason why it turned itself off sometimes) and now use it eventually, always on current.
I really liked the sturdiness of the macbook - in contrast to the fragility of iPhone or iPad. I would expect more problems in 4 years of heavy usage than a faulty memory bank and the battery.
Slashdot Mirror
what about
PRINT CHR$(4) + "CATALOG"
to invoke it from BASIC? ahh, the days.
Or, will it ditch ancient emulated 80x86 support? For a new console, I don't think the ability of booting MS|PC-DOS 3.3 is of any worth.
If they would come up with this kind of idea, they wouldn't be filling phishingh forms in the first place, I guess.

The patent is about the method of diagnosis of a certain genetic condition using the mentioned gene. Couldn't find the reference yet, only Wikipedia.

Well, did you see what Indiana Jones have done to nazism? He had only a whip and a .38!

as for the unit, 1 kilo pounds equals 1000 pounds or 1024 pounds?
the question of headers being charged or not translates into your analogy as: it's 1000 pounds of beef with or without bone?
It's practically nothing for HP! Just guess how much to have a voice on other OSs.
It is cheaper than the amount racksapce was extorting them for.
I'd feel better paying U$1500 to a service that would protect my site than anything at all to the criminal, even if I would be saving money.
Capitalistically thinking, if nobody would pay thousands for it, then it's not worth thousands. The market is not really into fair pricing.
Math is psychology.
You stopped believing in it. It was never true.

Not sure if 3-hit-combo of wooshes or great sarcasm.

Of course I remember the "Mario Gets The Turnip" game.
It was when Nintendo discovered that Brassicae doesn't increase your marketshare as Fungi does.
