Have you seen the fan-made trailer for a movie called "Grayson"? It's remarkably good. They never made it into a full movie, but when you watch the trailer, you can't help wishing they did:
Define "make." They certainly have invested a lot of technology and design into the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and iMac cases —especially the unibody designs. They may not assemble it in-house in California anymore, but it's not like they're slapping together outer case components from other companies. That qualifies as "make" in my book.
Doubtful. More likely, it will skyrocket from 0.0333s (double-buffered) to 0.5000s (triple-buffered). Nothing runs at 30fps anymore, not since the 1980s. 60fps is the new standard frame rate. 60fps = 1 frame every 0.01666s.
That cute smiley cat logo has got to go. Not because it's cute, but because it's smiling. If you're going to use a cute cat for this, make it look sad or worried, but not happy. There is no sense of danger communicated by this logo. If this signal goes active and people see a smiling cat, then it looks like people are happy and are celebrating.
md5 is (relatively) slow. a simple CRC-32 will only fail you for 1 in 2 ** 32 corruptions, and I suspect the guy doesn't even have 2 ** 16 files so the odds are CRC-32 is more than good enough and significantly faster.
Not true. At all. On modern systems, MD5 is just as fast as CRC-32 because the disk is the bottleneck, not the CPU.
Interesting. I've long known that gravity is O(r^-2) and that magnetism is O(r^-3), but didn't know that nuclear forces trailed off even more rapidly than that. What power do they trail off with?
You evidently don't understand tablets. Multitouch is a huge leap forward in user interaction for many types of things. The tablet isn't a novelty and will never go away.
OK, sure, but I was actually asking about your use of the term "DOA." By definition, Windows XP could only be DOA back when it originally arrived on the scene (when it was released by Microsoft). XP can never ever be DOA in the future, simply because the term "DOA" has no meaning beyond initial arrival.
[...] You have less than a year and a half before XP is DOA and Win 8 is released in just 7 months. [...]
I’m curious: What do you mean by “DOA” here? I’ve only ever heard the term used to mean “dead on arrival”—which would be nonsensical to say about Windows XP at this point.
I think the key distinction in the case of putting together two words is that they be interchangeable. I'm not aware of anything inherent in the ordering of obsessive and compulsive; it could just as well be called compulsive–obsessive disorder.

P.S. — Hmm... But evidently you can read the screenplay, which is online here in PDF format:

No.
Mbps is 1000 bps, yes.
GB is 1000.
GiB is 1024.
Er, I meant 0.05000s (tripled-buffered). 3/60 = 1/20 second = 0.05.

SSDs don't lack capacity-per-dollar. Both SSDs and HDDs have capacity-per-dollar attributes.
Shit like that should not happen.

That is a really really really really really lame reason not to use Perl, IMHO.
Yep -- at the block level.

My God, that's nasty / crazy / weird!

^^ This was one of the most interesting posts I've ever read on Slashdot.
LOL
Clams may have beards too, y'know.

Are you kidding me?! It's far more elegant with tau because 1 is much more elegant than -1.
1 is simpler than -1. Simpler is more elegant. More elegant is more beautiful. More beautiful is better.
Totally agree with you. The tau version is far, far superior to the pi version. Makes things much more intuitive.
I love statements like that. So certain of the future...
So certain are you. Always with you it cannot be done. Hear you nothing that I say?
The fascination of the Apple II in 5th grade math lab, getting a PC when...
At first, I misread that as "5th grade meth lab."

Is there something I'm missing?
