If we're synthesizing bases you'd think that we could come up with better names than Alpha and Beta. If you work in biology at all you know that these designations are already overused. If you don't, this is essentially naming the bases "one" and "two". BwwaaahhhhH!!
Hopefully these are on
How is "the right to own a gun" on the same team as "ban abortions and gay marriage"?
Same way Ban-Guns and Kill-Prebirth-Humans get along.
Yay Politics!
Sorry for using harsh terms above- Mod flamebait if ya like. But the scientist in you probably agrees that it's true verbiage.
And for the record, so you know my bias I'm for gun ownership (I own and shoot guns) and reasonable gun control (they are registered and I am not a felon). I like babies and think pregnancy is fascinating. I'm against abortion and am appalled at the selfish arguments I run into when people try to defend it as a "right". Killing people isn't a Right (with guns or forecepts), and birth canals don't bestow magical personhood dust upon those who pass through.
I'm not interested in Apple matching MS's profits. I'm interested in them being reasonably successful, enabling them to continue to develop and invent the way they are right now.
Any time a company becomes ALL about profit, we the consumers lose.
And to expand on that thought- imagine if Photoshop had a BRIGHT MULTICOLORED ui so that the tools could all SCREAM their function. That would be a bad way to work on photographs, no?
Your comment is impressively random! Anyway- I think Firefox 3's effort to blend into it's OS does a good job of explaining the different UI strategies. The Windows theme is bright and colorful, high contrast on grays. It aims to grab your attention.
The default Mac theme is subtle grays- still plenty of contrast but not quite so forward, and certainly not saturated. The Mac aims to keep the UI to a minimum- theory being that the content should have the focus and the OS/UI should be a tool. Think Photoshop (I can't speak for gimp though)
No you've got it wrong, Apple radically reinvents stuff. They modify APIs, deprecate frameworks that used to be essential UI. They change architectures and discontinue successful products.
Microsoft (at least with Windows) takes what was broken and adds cruft.
Kudos to Apple. I love that they are willing to leave what is old and invent something new. I wish that Microsoft would scrap Windows and Office and build something new from the ground up.
Edit. No point in always watching the full video. Do quick edits- cut video down by at least 90%- if you've generated that much data in the first year, just wait till he's 5. You'll have terabytes of data that won't be worth sifting through.
Above all make sure that the camera doesn't come between you and your kid ALL the time. It's more important to love him than to document him.
And btw remote online backups are the only thing that really makes sense.
People nowadays just instinctively close the download manager window, both in Firefox and Safari.
Now I agree with your point that we need to imporve buy is that the same way that people click Save File in IE/Firefox or are we talking about different instincts?
Which brings up two other points. Whose idea was it to download to the desktop anyway?? Maybe to a downloads folder on the desktop . . but man what a bad idea.
Almost as bad as having the desktop be a swamp of shortcuts to programs. Start menu anyone? Windows desktops of the average user remind me heavily of MySpace.
No, no the judges make up criminal law too. At least here in California they don't care what the legislature... or the people think. They just do what makes-sense to them. *sigh*
And Joe, who knows nothing about wireless security is likely not to give a care who connects to his network. Whether you like it or not the hardware IS giving you the ok to use the network. If it was misconfigured that's Joe's fault . . . possibly Jane's.
There are some networks that need to be secure but honestly I just consider it common courtesy to have an open AP on every connection I'm in charge of. I hope people use it (especially since there's no cell service out here) and I hope people don't abuse it. Looking at my traffic graphs it looks like I've been helpful to few poor souls and haven't really taken any hits for it.

...and you can mod that +1 Pity. Thanks
Nice. My Choices are Dialup, Satellite or T1. If only I had some line-of-sight neighbors to split the cost of a T1 with.
Yay Politics!

Since it's only in the hundreds of thousands we'll just say it's a normal disaster. *wink*
And I have used Vista.

Old and Current Windows games? That's what Wine/Cider is for. Don't believe me? Just ask MacOS X.

In politics, there are no facts.
Images on slashdot is about as dangerous as images in email. At least they included an alt tag.

You all know what I mean.
Sometimes I think the Tax code is big enough that it should use namespaces.

Nibshit is what happens when you port your Cocoa app away from MacOS X
The Camry took $70 yesterday.

No, it's ok, I bought Unlimited Access ;)

Now if only we had FiOS.
