... but will this browser be able to do anything that my current Opera install cannot? I use Mozilla on my desktop and its great, but it has always seemed a bit bloated. Far too much to be able to do something with it for the handhelds. But then again, I may be wrong. We shall see.
In the florida school system this is a writting test called the Florida Writes. Its a standardized test, doesn't count for much, but we all had to take it. This is basically exactly what we had to do. Write the most horrible peice of trash you could think of, but make it adhere to a few preset guidelines and BAM instant grade. My first time taking it I wrote a rather good peice of work if I do say so myself. Problem was, it didn't ahhere to their simply 5 paragraph, introduction, 3 body, and conclusion. I did horrible. My second time, I wrote something that I barely called English but followed what they wanted perfectly and got top marks. I see this new computerized grading as being just exactly the same.
Indeed.. the dilithium crystals have the strange property of NOT going boom when encoutering anti matter, even though they themselves are normal matter. THAT too would be an amazing discovery. One I doubt we'll see any time soon.
You simply CANNOT technology back. You can make laws to make war illegal, guess what... nations still make war. Make things like nuclear arms illegal and it changes nothing what-so-ever. The technology is there and its going to stay.
Those bombs are integrated into society. The lowest 3rd world country now can save up and buy some nukes. The fact is, society fixed the problem with mutual assured destruction. Nukes are a part of society now. Everyone has them, no one uses them.
There has been talk after every revolution that we're going to destroy ourselves. For better or for worse, I sometimes doubt its possible. We're like cockroaches.. even our most fatal diseases end up having a few people immune to them. Every technology comes along and integrates itself into our society. These will too. I'm not really worried.
The problem here is that Christians do NOT simply want to teach Christian values, the entire point for a Christian is to spread the Gospel. Spreading of "Christian" values is the same as the values of just about any religion, most have the same basic tenants. For a Christian it's about Jesus with belief in Jesus, all those values are for nothing.
You may not agree with this, but you can't tell a Christian when they should be happy with their own work. A Christian that is anything BEFORE a Christian needs to re-evaluate why they are Christian and perhaps switch their priorities a bit.
I most definitely realize that. Classic in this case meant the style of the game. No flashy 3D graphics to wow the eyes, drain the wallets and bore the mind. These types of games are plain fun. I'd say that maybe I'm showing my age, but im barely breaking 2 decades, so I don't think its an age or generational thing so much as the fact that a good game is a good game, and thus... a classic. I don't think a studio like CrossCut, with all 2 of their developers could spend the resources on thousands of 3D models and hundreds of miles of 3D terrain, instead they produce good games. Kudos boys!
Games like this filled my time endlessly and its great to see sources being released more often. It's like magicians giving away secrets after 50 years, it usually leads to more quality magic shows. In the same way, as novice programmers and tinkerers get to see techniques used in these games, I feel that the quality of games in general will go up. Either that or we'll just go back to playing the classics! For FREE!
Perhaps our view of the Universe is not as complete as we thought. I hate to think of what things have been cast down as impossible to only later be shown as true. It's not as if these are amateur cosmologists, give them a break and a chance to be proven right or wrong.
Normally Im one for progress at almost any cost, but after losing both lives and practically our space program with the loss of Columbia, I'd want to see this new past tested thoroughly OUTSIDE of a lab, meaning in actual field tests. Put up a few rockets and let'em re-enter with the paste. At 60 mil for the tiles, it's worth it to invest in this tech by testing properly. fp?
Achieving superposition is great, but how long is it maintainable? To get truly useful quantum computers, we need states that can be maintained that way, for longer periods of time (or so at least some proposed versions say). fp?
This seems like it could be useful for easy and fast (not always smart) integration into Web Applications. Its far easier to make a call to a command line image manipulation software than to call a library and do all the work yourself. Though I suppose with calling an application for the web, there may be security problems.
That doesn't make sense to me. Thats like deciding there are too many car manufacturers and complaining to Ford that there should be fewer and better car manufacturers. In fact, it would be EASIER to do this in the car industry because you can probably get the major car manufacturers together. No one ever said this new BSD was going to be good, just that it was here. No one said you should support it, but then again maybe you should. Each distro of anything is subject to the people that make it. If you want one final all encompassing sent-from-God BSD then go and make it!
After all the beowulf cluster jokes, I am still incredibly curious about them. My goal is to build a small 5-6 node cluster by the end of the summer. The thing is, I still know very little about them. Every jokes about them, but no one puts any useful information. Are there specific langauges one must program in to tak advantage of the multiple processors? Or does the OS take care of that? How much speed can you actually get out of them? Is it pure processing power? Or is there more? I'm very curious and want to know.
As far as I know, there are protective measures you can take surrounding the actually nuclear material. There's no doubt it will come tumbling out of the sky, but it won't be radioactive dust, it will be more like a giant, heavy metal box that goes BANG..still fully encased. We've been building enclosures to keep explosions INSIDE for years, I see no reason we can't build enclosures to keep explosions OUTSIDE.
Just goes to show how many "revolutionary" things we've come up with were adaptations or exact duplicates of something that already happened naturally. These alchemists had no idea that there were nanoscopic particles whose physics lead to the change in color, yet it happened, and we are only NOW finally realizing why and how it happened.

Thankfully I do not currently work in an environment like that.

Im pretty sure the ??? in this situation is sell the movie rights for the whole thing BACK to Paramount Pictures.

Right now? Considering there is no dcc2 and its still in the works... the same thing that makes Duke Nukem Forever better than original Duke Nukem.

Do you mean a notary?
I'm really praying for Opportunity now. We may really need that rover if some good data is to come out of these missions.
That'd be fine... ANYTHING that gets us into space cheaper is fine with me. The Science can come second or third as long as it comes!

I think my grandpa used to play Diablo 2 alot. Then again I think my grandpa was good friends with Jesus too. That game is old...Where's Diablo 3?

...as to how the heck they found this out? I mean it doesn't seem like something that happens all the time.
