A well defined way to say "The page is loaded, all your variables and objects are loaded, Time to execute!" rather then "You can only see the variables and objects that are defined 'above' you and not 'below' you in unloaded portions of the page".
Isn't this more about being able to rely on the UA to fire certain events at predictable times, and thus an implementation issue?
If you're executing inline (which should run during page render), then you should expect the DOM not to be fully complete.
Yeah, I know. I saw that they released an update today, which I'm not sure if it addresses the issue or not, but it was happening to me if the extension was enabled at all—regardless of whether I had the panels enabled or not.
If you are using FF3 and beta Firebug, then you are probably seeing the DOM corruption bug that I see when ads are inserting into the DOM. The symptom is that the whole page disappears except for that ad. I've seen this behavior on several sites, including/. I haven't figured out a remedy yet except to disable Firebug, and we all know that's not going to happen!
The Uncanny Valley is not a technological achievement metric of some kind like reaching 65nm line width in CMOS fab. It's also not universal—being different for every observer.
So extrapolating in general terms I would say it's a fuzzy mark where some particular encounter would fool most people given the setting. I think the crappy, carefully controlled YouTube video reaches that bar, as illustrated by what I said about makeup/airbrushing.
I was more referring to coming out the other side to where we "just [accept them] as 'freaks'". So basically we already have the full gamut of altered humans around and society is not having a difficult time with it. I think it is based on the fact that deep down we know they are like us but have just altered their appearance. That is not so with simulated reality; thus the disconnect.
I thought storage of nuclear waste was a pretty big problem—due to its incredibly long toxicity. It is limited in scale right now, but what if we were using 100% nuclear power? Perhaps I am not fully up-to-date on this issue.
I've been using the phrase in speach for years without anyone saying anything about it
That's why incorrect usage is so insidious. I chalk most of the errors up to people only having heard the phrase, misunderstanding the meaning, and then coming up something close. Then it gets propagated as correct to others who are learning the phrase.
We've all been there. The key is to accept the correction and go on happily using it properly rather than getting defensive and blustering about English being an evolving language.
They need to add human imperfections to the CGI models to pass the uncanny valley test.
Why? You just refuted that in your previous statement: "When they airbrush real humans too much it winds up looking fake." You would have just assumed she was wearing too much makeup or was airbrushed. Valley crossed.
It's not like they had it ordered by golds total and then changed it when the US had fewer. I think total medals is just their primary metric. Don't worry, it looks like China will soon posses the top spot in both metrics.
Isn't 720p functionally equivalent to 1080i? Maybe you meant first it was 480i, then 480p (EDTV), then 720p/1080i, and now with HD-DVD/BD there is 1080p.
The majority of US mobile phone customers are on CDMA, while only TMobile and AT&T are GSM
Only? That is a huge piece of the market. There are only two major carriers on CDMA as well, and their combined market share is not exactly dominant. These are the numbers from about a year ago which don't even take into account the iPhone effect:
I thought it had to do with irresponsible lending by the banks/borrowing by home buyers. Basically, the bar was lowered considerably by taking on high-risk mortgages as ARMs (Adjustable Rate Mortgages). When they tried to adjust the rate, the risk came back to bite them in the ass and the irresponsible borrower could not afford to pay it.
Comes in handy when the nearest gas is 100 km away and the low gas light comes on.
The light could easily have been set to come on when the gauge reads 1/5 left. People should adjust to more accurate gauges rather than adjusting the gauges to be fuzzier estimations.

Most digital picture frames also come with an AC adapter. We are also not likely to change the electricity infrastructure much within 25 years.
You didn't hear that they renamed it in honor of Nina Reiser?

UPDATE: Nope, the update didn't fix it. :/
It doesn't help that the text is italicized. It's the perfect storm of unreadability!
Why not just compromise by slashing them both? :D

Haha, wow. That video at the bottom definitely does not cross the Valley.

You sir are totally correct. Everyone wants to prove that they'll always know what's fake and what's real but, as you said, they're full of it.
I think you can already see this effect with heavy body modification that goes on today.

Wait. So you're saying this is illegal to buy in the US? I have not seen or heard of such a law.

Others: 11.9%
where was the contract that I signed that made me agree to pay the $200 fine anyway?
Probably buried somewhere in the agreement of obtaining a license to operate a motor vehicle. Certainly not easily found though.
Your ideas intrigue me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
