It's slow in Firefox and doesn't work at all in Safari. Great. Oh and it pops up a sub-frame that covers the search I'm trying to make. Excellent stuff.
How about the fact that almost everyone out there is calling Flightplan rubbish? Universal may have saved money by not advertising heavily, but even I saw ads for Flightplan, and I don't have a TV. Panic room in the sky. Jodie needs to go back to indie movies like The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys. At least that lets her act like a normal sane person.
Prohibitive? In Europe, folks pay $5-6/gallon (Adjusted from Euros/litres) which is far more prohibitive than $2.50-3/gallon. In the US, we are used to a subsidised (Our energy bills pander to the petroleum industry) fuel delivery system. Well, the fantasy is coming to an end, oil man President or not.
I'm totally for renting videos. I pay Blockbuster $25/mo. and get probably 20 or so rentals out. I don't even rip/burn the discs. I just watch one every other evening or so.
Well, not totally. I'm still going to see a few movies in theater. Tops on this list is Serenity.
I've been having issues with mine recently. 850nm is really vulnerable to the finest particles of dust, cat hairs, etc. Also, the mouse occasionally gives me a red light until I turn it off for about 15 minutes.
Everybody's mentioned the flashlights. How about the fact that they have more than one character on the screen without the framerate dropping to 3fps?! Amazing!
I thought that would be pretty obvious. In the case of this group, Apple = Intel. It seems to me that Apple will be implementing any bleeding edge technology Intel produces. I think EFI is the only way Apple will be able to implement target disk mode in their new x86 hardware, too.
The Python system that I posted about has existed for about the same amount of time as Ruby on Rails.
actually, you stated:
Look at this new project, just announced a few days ago
Has it been out as long as RoR? Ruby on Rails has been around for about a year. RoR started out in a working state a year ago, and it's only being noticed now. I can't get a history on django, but it doesn't appear to be as old or as mature as you state.
So let me get this straight... A group comes up with a great platform for web development. But instead of using the platform, another group feels the need to re-implement it in their language of choice.
And, of course, "Python will kill Ruby" in a space where Ruby is already set up and running for several releases. Instead of helping out a project that deserves recognition for work already done, we make a different-language fork of the same concept!
When will open source grow up and recognise that the the market won't support this many variations on a them? That maybe one desktop environment will thrive while two might falter? If we concentrate on the one best project, we might just improve that project greatly. This is surely better than the certainty of getting nowhere on several marginal projects.
Please, don't believe the hype. Python and Ruby came about at roughly the same time. Python is a nice language and ruby is a nice language, but rails was created on ruby for several reasons, and there is no need to port it to every language up to and including snobol.
Stupid-funny, that. It's not great television by any stretch though. I did enjoy the series, but it doesn't approach previous BBC comedies in staying power. It was too gimmicky.
What you are saying here isn't exactly true. The bonus is on whatever exp you earn from killing mobs. When you turn in a quest in your 'blue' phase your blue bar moves out in direct proportion to your quest experience.
I had a blue bar from level 53 to level 57 and counting. I generally gain 2 levels a weekend (and I'm in the upper 50s now) by using the blue to my advantage. When I turn purple it's time to go do something else, like visit the big room.
2) is definitely true. This is also why hunters are generally the best pullers. They can run out far, pull a mob, and if they over-pull, feign death and the mobs run back. But nobody wants them in their group because most hunters are morons.
4) in a dungeon will get you wiped 80% of the time, as will idiots pulling 6-8 mobs at once.
JMS and Ron Thornton designed the ships, and they were cool. The Vorlons had a cool beam weapon too. The Drakh ships had a formation they could fly in to combine several beams through a focusing ship. The human and Minbari ships also had impressive beams.
Thanks, I saw that in a cubicle but the style was like several comics and i couldn't remember where it is from. Now I can bookmark the site and come back to it:)
That is true... I can only speak for Apple's plaform in this, but they use Disk Images to transport files. The browser usually mounts them for you, so it seems transparent to the user. The only real install step left to do is moving the pkg to the applications folder. I made an automator action to do so.:)
Of course, NS apps are already compiled by the time you get there, so Rox is a little different. If there was a binary Rox equivalent, then that would be like a NS app.
It's ok that GNUStep.apps are just folders; this is the way NeXTStep and Mac OS X do it as well. You could set your file browser to make.apps executable. It changes nothing at the command line, however.

"No power in the 'Verse can stop me"
Yeah, I still miss John Doe, too. I wanted to know what was behind the mystery there, but it got cut after the first season. Fox are dumb that way.
Now I need to re-rip everything. :(

Yes. That's why you typed in or clicked on "slashdot.org" to get here.
Except that good web deveopers code to standards instead of serving up different items via browser sniffing.

Actually, I'd like their urls better if they'd cut off the ".html". No need for document-type cruft on a url, especially from Apple.

You're confusing confabulate with confounded.

Shooting people is a form of expression.

There are only 10 kinds of people in the world:
Those who know binary, and those who have friends.
