The Gnome main menu always seemed very sparse in comparison.
Right, what we really needed was more clutter. I really like the gnome way of doing desktop menus, and most other things. Windows always, always, always seems to be a lot more complicated to me. After you get used to it, its ok I guess (I recently returned to using a windows machine after several years of just using Linux/Gnome, and was completely lost for the first month or so) but that transition from Linux to Windows is a nightmare. I even found OSX a lot easier and I don't use OSX for anything.
No. Distance to object and proportional ratios can be accurately gauged in the kinect and other motion control sensors. I'm not saying these gizmos can't be hacked, but not that way.
I doubt that those who purchased parts from newegg.com in the past are going to completely shift to ultrathin laptops and tablets
After years of building all my own rigs I've gotten to a point professionally where it pays more to stay mobile to a certain extent and pluggin and un-plugging a bunch of cables and peripherals is something that lost its charm with me quite some time ago. I bought as powerful (in cpu and gfx) a notebook as I could find with HDMI out and now I just use that when I want to play games. Sorry newegg.
Yes, it was to have been steam powered as the number of levels of gear displacement and torque redirection would have made hand cranking it impossible without an assembly of assisting displacer cams as large as the AE itself. I don't think a 3D printer would be able to make parts for this unless one of the resins it can deal with is some kind of stronger that steel carbon-fiber stuff.
Just as making a slide rule larger makes it easier to read and more accurate so making the engine as large as practically possible makes the degree of milling needed less, making the machine possible. I've actually often pondered the AE and I believe if Babbage thought it was possible then, depending on the degree of accuracy and the number of decimal places you were willing to live with the AE is possible. Think about this: had Babbage the time and the resources needed to complete the AE I suspect the digital age would have been hastened by at least 100 years. If a functional turing-complete machine had already been developed by the time Turing and von Neumann come around who knows where we'd be right now.
Alec Guiness is a given, that wasn't my point. I think few people could have played a young Alec Guiness as well. My point and your point: apples and oranges.
He learned from Star Wars to have a completely filled-in mythology rather than patchwork in extensions to the story. I think the success of Star Wars caught him and the studio by surprise. Its pretty obvious that he had to patch most of the subplots. For example I can tell from the first film that Princess Leia's home Planet was Organa, had always been Organa, and her father was waiting for her on Organa before Tarkin blew it all to hell, and he WAS NOT Vader. I know; she would have referred to him as her father and not her step father, but still, I'm not speaking to familial references, but plots and story lines and what seems reasonable and logical. Lucas had no intention of tying Vader and Leia together until AFTER Episode V was in the word processor (maybe typewriter still then). I think the connection between Luke, Leia, and Vader is a stretch so thin it pretty much snaps by the time Revenge comes out, and the numbering of all six films (begins with 4 and ends with 3?) is ridiculous. Brilliant if you're making one film, really kind of a mess if you had planned on six (or was it 9?) films all along. As further evidence of this the tie-in using Shmi Skywalker and Cliegg Lars is pretty obviously forced- wedged in like a wrench in a cheesecake but was necessary to get "Aniken" (young Darth) tied up in Luke's & Leia's lives. As we have some idea of just how vast the universe is happenstance like that, (planned or not) is just ridiculous. I'm not a hater, just sayin' Y'all can argue if you want; but there's only one man who knows the truth and he ain't gonna talk. To show I'm not a hater I think the casting of Ewan McGregor as the young Kenobi was brilliant. He did a very good job.
I can pick them (psychopaths) out almost instantly.
That's bravado talking (or "I call BS"). I don't think calling corp. boards members "psychopaths" as a blanket statement is helpful. Inept perhaps. And making statements like "I can spot 'em" is just plain rubbish. The true psychopaths, serial murderers, go for years undetected. Where were you when the last few were finally caught? Psychopaths are in fact not easy to spot; the only distinguishing factor that differentiates psychos from the rest of the population is the way they think. They blend in in all ways otherwise. In fact, they are usually down right charming. Are you saying you can read people's minds? But putting the boards of corps on par with them is just silly talk.
The Obama administration argued in support of the original award, and said the judge went too far when addressing the constitutionality of the Copyright Act's damages provisions.
Nice. Whenever the RIAA doesn't like a court decision they get their lap-dogs in the White House to act as axe-men.
Is someone there stateside going to DO something about the RIAA or is it going to be left to outsider to do your job for you ? Eh !!!!
Sure, as soon as some one across the pond does something about CCTV.
Yeah, my dad worked in cold-war intelligence (mostly Soviet satellite analysis) and I asked him about this a few years back. We talked at length about Soviet "alternate technology" including their ambitious psychic ability research. I asked him why we didn't have MHD subs. His comment was even though the Soviets spent BILLIONS (with a 'B') on these programs that most of that effort was worth about as much as a deed to the Brooklyn Bridge.
Speak for yourself. I'm an industrial automation engineer, and so many companies are looking at automation that we can't hire enough engineers to satisfy our needs.
Because its not the government's job to enact laws by caveat. If it did we'd have a real problem on our hands. Laws are introduced as bills by citizens. The local (state, county, whatever) legislature then votes on those bills and they become laws. Didn't you people ever see School House Rock?
Right. I agree with this sentiment. There was, within the last year or so, a case involving a man who was naked in his home, but a side window was open. A girl and her grandmother walking past HIS house, on his property, using the side of the house as a sort of short cut, saw him and called the police. who did arrest him on public nudity charges. Charge were later reversed. Such is the society we live in.
Perhaps you can list some that will remain even if developers muse on how they might improve web scripting in general? Perhaps you can give developers the world over a list of problems you think they shouldn't even bother with because NOTHING WILL CHANGE NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO. Or so you have decreed.
I'm saying that being thrown in jail or being an ass is foolish and bound to be easily misused. let me say that again since it seems to be difficult for you: BEING AN ASS SHOULDN'T"T BE A CRIME. Period. Its laws like that that become tools for tyrants.
Your argument is relevant if the defendant is denying the crime.
Incorrect, the truth is the truth, and has nothing to do with what the defendant says. Defendants admit to crimes they didn't do all the time. Do you still jail him even if its shown that he didn't do it, even if he continues to admit that he did it? I hope not. But that has nothing to do with my point, never the less. I'm not speaking to the guy's culpability, but weather or not its ok to jail people for what they say. You're still arguing with me based on some weird assumption this has to do with the guy's guilt.
The point is that there is nothing to suggest that the defence legal counsel was incompetent in this case.
You don't know that. As I said in my previous post, suppose a defence hired investigator finds that the mac addresses don't match. I'm suggesting that a host of possibilities COULD show that he didn't do it, and that a defence worth its salt would look into those possibilities. The original argument was that the transactions were traced to his machine. Case closed. I say not necessarily. Its not just a simple matter of tracing the ip traffic to his machine.
Well, I think ROS is a good idea and if crazy-assed Medvedev wants to fund it that's a good thing. They're starved for developers, so this can cold-boot the project.

No security we have isn't fundamentally based on obscurity. None.
Yes, we have no bananas. You didn't mean to use a double negative, did you?
No. Distance to object and proportional ratios can be accurately gauged in the kinect and other motion control sensors. I'm not saying these gizmos can't be hacked, but not that way.
So don't blame him.
I didn't know Torvalds was on the gnome development team.
Well, that's what Linus says about gnome 3 anyway.

Seconded. I'm not impressed. He's proven something we've known all along. A huge, wasted, effort.
THAT is a difference engine, in essence the same as a modern adding machine. A much easier machine to build, and altogether different from the AE.
Yes, it was to have been steam powered as the number of levels of gear displacement and torque redirection would have made hand cranking it impossible without an assembly of assisting displacer cams as large as the AE itself.

Good reason (or not) to mask your mac, given your philosophical bent...
I would mod this one up if I had the "bro's"
