Frankly, 10 seconds of my time spent on researching what google is doing at the moment is 10 seconds lost doing something useful. I diagonal read, a lot, and do NOT consider this a crime. With information flows about everything interesting expanding i choose not always to spend those 10 seconds. In this case, i guess my rant helped people, the picture is clearer to whoever cares to read the very first informative reply that i received.
Just as an aside, now it puzzles me how can google have an EULA on Chrome if its under sane open source licence ?
And yes, i spent more than a minute replying to your complaints about moderation ( about the most useful input you could ever have on site like./ ? ) and lost those valuable seconds of my life. Hence, im not perfect. The old saying of the wise must be true, arguing over internet is like special olympics, no matter who wins, you are still retarded. Thank you for your attention.
Chrome is _going_ to be open source ? Whatever happened to "release early, release often" ideology ? I mean, if they decided that its going to be open source from the outset, why wouldnt they be doing the development in the open as well ?
LUA. Just check out how many major apps and games have selected Lua as their scripting language due to lightweight runtime, ease of integration and relative speed.
Upgrade ability ? Wanna take a guess how big chunk of PC buyers ever upgrade their computers ?
Every time i have felt a need for something faster ( which is every few years ) i have discovered that it becomes easier just to buy a new case with everything in it, because this or that cpu socket, mobo standard or hard disk interface has changed again.
Add to that laptops increasing market share and upgradeability wont be much of an argument at all.
Dude, Wrights efforts did not directly translate into successful air travel either.
The 1903 december flight by Wrights was quite obscure at the time, and Wrights kept well out of public sight for quite long time after that.
What Otto Lilienthal did had far more influence wordlwide, Bleirot and Curtis as well. The simple matter of fact is that no party single handedly invent flight or translated it into reproducible air travel, they all had their part to play.
It could be just me, but i am seeing a lot of annoying aliasing ( look at the rims for instance ), and that is in still images, must be pretty awful when moving.
::EVs are presently about as efficient, overall as IC-powered vehicles.
Actually they are a fair bit better in well-to-wheels efficiency, even with electricity from coal power.
Tesla published a whitepaper on their site, unfortunately theirs is taken down for an update, a working link is still here http://me222.files.wordpress.com/2007/05/twentyfirstcenturycar.pdf
Now coming from an EV manufacturer, that may not be the most trustworthy source, so i encourage you to go to Michelin Challenge Bibendum site to dig out their reports.
Dude, they specifically purchased two licences for me, one for home and other for work, i am not stealing anything from work. MS has a problem with that ?
I have got two other laptops around, and on both of those i use VS Express, if i bother to boot Win on them at all.
Interesting, Sony Vegas is one of the pieces of software i bought this year after getting a AVCHD cam and never had a regret too. the rest of the stuff on my machine is mostly opensource or freeware, apart from winXp and visual studio pro which i legally have from work.
Oh and Sam&Max epsidodes, well done.
Georgia made a mistake only in giving in to provocations, which had been ongoing for a very very long time, and the whole thing was clearly preplanned by Russian side. What exactly happened in the night of the 7th, and who started firing rockets, we will probably never know. But what matters is this is not a single isolated event, i.e. the story does not begin with shootings at Tshinvali on last thursday night.
Just a minor nit, but they went NT-based on Win2K already, not with XP

Its about time to send this 50-year agency to retirement.
There are good proposals to restructure government-sponsored space activities, with way more focus on development of space, focussed avionics and space technology research and handing pure science over to science organizations.
In essence a return to NACA model for aeronautics research, science organizations being in charge of science and then some organizations working as catalysts to commercial space development activities.
This, of course, would mean an end to government-run space trucking business ( Shuttle and any other government-operated and built launchers ) which currently takes up better part of a half of the entire space budget. There are gazillions of ways to spend this money better.
SpaceX Falcon launch is tenatively scheduled for this and next week with launch window closing on august 9th, some are saying its further delayed until end of August already.
most up to date news here prolly
Look at blog.reprap.org the photo of the machine and its child are there. The child already produced a grandchild as well.
It is now a fact that has happened.
um, this is an old post, but.. turn the power off, and access to your hard disc is gone as well. what difference does it make whether you get your data over an IDE cable or CAT5 ?

Valid point. More importantly,

I dont know but Rolls Royce, Bentley, Bristol, Napier , Daimler-Benz, Gnome Engine Company, Junkers and a whole lot of others would argue with that.

WDYM no spaceships have landed ? Mike Melvill would take issue with that, and quite a bunch of Shuttle or Soyuz pilots as well.
it's not meant for you.
Are you trying to tell me its not for critics ??

Dude, you can't just start a slow clap at any time and expect everyone to join in. You have to wait for the right moment.
