It has the useful purpose of being a place to go and stay. Getting up to LEO requires a lot of thrust and equipment, but take note of this highly recommended article: A rocket a day keeps the high costs away. If you can haul up large amounts of stuff, for a cheap price to LEO and the ISS, then everything else has already been solved, practically. I see the ISS as a solution to a problem that will come eventually.
True, but the browsers are what we are agonizing about now, server-side development is a different cake. Also, as you say, IE is a kind of self-proclaimed standard. This isn't a bad thing by itself, but the standard contains bugs, which is not a Good Thing. Someone has to push somewhere to get things going in a nicer direction, and Microsoft seems as reluctant as always to do it.
What I would like to see is for browsers to become cleaner, with less obscure bugs that arise from supporting old non-standards. When will it happen, what decade?
In that case you picked the worst possible standard. Except for Netscape 4.07, posssibly.
Let me suggest: instead of waiting for angels to come and rescue the state of web development, why not instead realize that IE is really, really clunky, and aim for a better future. It's called progess, and it's long overdue.
Me. I'm a 23 year old, and I've brought my gamecube over to play with friends: Double Dash, Smash Bros, Mario Party 4.. I've also completed Mario Sunshine, and I'm now bashing on a pile of Zeldas. And yes, I'm perfectly able to tell anyone that I have a GameCube. And, I also play HL2, CS and whatnot.
So there, now I've said it, I enjoyed them all, where's the problem? Do I get a prize?
Now, the PS* may have cooler games, but Nintendo is far more superior in making fun toys to play with.
The suit doesn't need to be able to respond to rapid movements like fighting or flailing around. As long as the motors can provide assistive power at a reasonable pace, then it's perfect. Rapid movements require a lot more than slow movement.
.. Excuse me, but is there anyone here who does not remove shoes when inside?
Anyway, some advice to indoors-slashdotters: go outside for a moment in the sunshine, and walk around on the green cut grass barefoot. You never need any shoes unless it's cold, or the walking surface hurts or wounds your feet (read: gravel, risk for glass shards, too hot asphalt, etc.)
And get rid of those socks, right now. I never wear socks indoors, sometimes not even in wintertime.
The thing is, the current representation of every single one of you in the USA is G.W. Bush. He's been elected as the highest representative, and... well, there you go.
Well, it's just a few years more, it'll be interesting after that.

Whoa, just think about it. How big is the egg a blue whale? You could probably clone them with your bare hands!
Maybe they're planning on preparing them for boshintang.

Make a choice, make a better choice.
Press Ctrl-Alt-V in Opera.
No, lack of exp. + pressure = acute forgetfulness.
There are no age limits to Assembly, so there's no drinking or selling of drinks. That's what the nearby Boozembly is for.
Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?
It's already been made, and it's called 3 3ast 3 3urious.
I will likely end up buying that too :)
Copying and improving is progress. Let's see if they can get the other half right too.
Ok, so I didn't actually go out and buy it, just have it so to say.. :)

Actually, the tradition is to use K for 1024 and k for 1000, as in 128kbit and 100KB. The SI standard has k for kilo=1000 and ki for 1024.
You mean, it sounded worse, but more true to the original?
Where:
'katamari' = lump, mass
'tamashii' = soul

Which is New Hampshire for non-americans. Also, isn't there a risk of that becoming "Live free and die"?
They can also give new features that are cool.
You are so correct, it's almost sad.
