Eight million years of successful non-coexistence with near-human ogres, orcs, gremlins, gnomes, leprechauns and banshees isn't about to go down in ignominy because of a bunch of limits-testing furry imps. Stake out a few of their ugly pre-shrunken heads. They'll un-learn. Seriously, ffolkes, is this the origin of internecine human bigotry? The Pleistocene echoes are downright eldritch.

...the lip service being paid to utility has anything to do with desktop publishing. In point of fact, though, that tugboat sailed out to the tankers a fortnight ago, and the standard is set by DVD sizes.
Screw security, what about a Vista that works in non-laboratory conditions, that is to say, in laboratory (and office, home, etc.) conditions? We do we still have users who are forced to reboot before logging in, to avoid the braindead "user profile error" that repairs itself every single time by rebooting!? I would really like to see Microsoft Q.A. people forced to take Real World Certification administered by a consortium of academics, government entities and businesses before they are allowed to sign off on any Microsoft release whatsoever.
To answer the original question: Yes, at the speed of light, but presumably any gamma radiation reflected off gas clouds on the side of Eta Car farthest away from Earth will appear a bit red-shifted. This is left as an exercise for the reader.
I dunno. I'm 63 and I managed to watch the entire Hikaru no Go series (piece by piece) before My Tubes Not Your Tubes Dot Con started scrubbing it out of their system. I can't imagine the horrible quality posed much threat to DVD sales. It was more like free advertising, in a wonderful search and assemble game sort of way.
I was speaking about actual, flesh-and-blood miffed microteens, however. And those kids hold everyone's future in their hands. It will be fun watching a few corporate attention spans suddenly expand backwards in "come to realize" moments about a decade from now.
Kids thirteen and under (or thereabouts) loved YouTube because of the awful, chopped-up anime episodes (and parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 thereof). Now, all that is gone the way of the dodo, leaving a generation of pre-teens surprised, fuming, narrow-eyed and political.
YouTube's cachet has just evaporated among a few hundred thousand neo movers and shakers, making it the next mortally-wounded Napster. Maybe that was "We Do No Evil" Google's plan from the start? AWTTW: Kids are smarter than you think, and formative memories last forever.
Safari lost bigtime on OS X because Apple refused to castrate ANY advertising, annoying or otherwise. There is a powerful incentive for business to avoid Safari on any platform, for the same reason. Frankly, advertising is a distraction that has no more place in a corporate browser than it does in a corporate payroll package.
Standardizing on Firefox is an easy decision to make.
...it sort of resembles a salt or gypsum crust over a dead (and missing) marsh, so the whole "pit" might be an expansive but shallow cavity with a bottom only a few decimeters below the hole. The lack of detail could be a simple camera contrast artifact, easy enough to accomplish with Tri-X film pushed to 400 or 1200 ASA (and surely no lightweight NASA camera can be that sensitive?).
There seems to be another smaller hole at 2 o'clock, and maybe some similar but unpunctured features about 11 o'clock farther on.
And of course the possibility that Martian "flow" features are really highly electrically-charged nanoparticulates is still to be ruled out (things we know are actually on Mars now, as opposed to flowing water which might have been there then), so the crust-over-cavity hypothesis could be caused by totally unfamilar materials science.
"...as space is stretched, the wavelength of light is stretched along with it, as it transverses that space..."
Which is why maths are more interesting than werbils. DOPPLER effects happen against a steady frame, otherwise they do not "dopple" since, given a concertina yardstick tacked to space itself, there's nothing to measure them WITH.
If only they could solve googlebombing on news.google.com by bloggers with right wing agendas. The left wing agendas seem to be gone already, for some reason.
"No difference"...? What, pray tell, is the "normal household use" of a prybar and pick? In the case of a prybar, perhaps sproingy games with spitwads? But a pick doesn't even have a sharp end, just a nubby bump.
I think this gotcha is meant to fall into class of urban inanities like "marijuana tax", like we have here in Iowa. It works like this: Marijauana is illegal, you're not supposed to have it. But if you do have it, well, bub, you should have applied for a marijuana stamp and slapped that on your stash. No stamp? Gotcha!
Yes, it is a Soup Nazi sort of law. Instead of legislating harsher penalties for existing felonies, our lawmakers get their twisted rocks off by thinking up, green and Grinch-like, extra spankings for all.
Because the universe IS a singularity, and the so-called "expanding universe" is simply a differential crunch toward pointspace. The edge of the universe is our own outer limits -- and event horizon. Credit Carl Sagan for this one:)
Funny, I downloaded and burned the Feisty Fawn distro, but it doesn't grok Compaq Presario V6101US's nVidia stuff -- no screen. Not surprising, a lot of stuff doesn't know it's there, or else my Vista install screwed up firmware on this notebook, or sumpin'. There's a "safe graphics mode" but... I mean, but! I'm waiting for Gradual Giraffe, or whatever's next.
Wikipedia's religion articles are also subject to zealous redactionizing by cliques of believers who credential each other and drive content into peculiar realms of fantasy. Oh, wait... That's Slashdot!
I think people consistently misgrok the consumer. Nobody wants to be a thin client on somebody else's server (same reason "mass transit" is an oxymoron), everyone wants their own computer to do a 3% subset of the things computers can do, and they want it to work now, work tomorrow and work yesterday without ever, EVER, thinking. So... home servers? Maybe. When designers stop thinking about details and start selling cooperative little black boxes, yeah, maybe. Like with cars, you sell "rack and pinion steering" to Linux geeks, and "rich corinthian leather" to Mac users, and "extended cab pickups" to Windows people, but NOBODY sells the console anymore, except for a few steampunk clowns who like to emulate Kaypro 10's at 300 times Kaypro speed.
It's curious that you can't package the 3%, though. Everyone wants a different genie in the bottle at 10 a.m. and then at 10 p.m. I think the only answer is a virtual robot -- but distributed throughout the entire house, while the interface, the focus, is a virtual actor on your HD tv screen. Lucy Liu does housework, sort of thing. With style.
Holocaust survivors decry "baptism of the dead" by the Latter Day Saints as an actual violation of Jewish sensibilities, at least as it applies to victims of the holocaust. To my benighted way of thinking, being neither LDS nor Jewish, it's hard to spot any bruises from this practice -- but apparently the nerve LDS touches has to do with forced baptisms during pograms and persecutions against Jews in history. What is clear is, the victim of a "virtual crime" is the one who has the most livid appreciation of it, whatever the rest of us might think. There is, by way of further illustration, a perfect example of "innocent" racism in the Disney film, Dumbo -- where the humor revolves around miscegenation by an African elephant and a Southern belle pachyderm. The offended, I would say, have considerable rights in defining and delineating long-standing patterns of "virtual" outrage that seldom draw blood or stretch necks, but not always.
You have to remember IE was not designed to graze among the innertubes, but to browbeat OEMs into shipping one and only one operating system. IE has evil vampire roots in every component of Windows exposed to users. When SCOTUS amputated IE from the rest of Windows, and made it compete with honest browsers, IE was essentially broken. It is not a failed browser. It is a failed set of brass knuckles, and deserves its fate.
UAC a good thing? It's the straw that will break IT's corporate back in about six months, once the down time (not the complaints, the down time!) forces a generation of in-house support geeks back onto black asphalt amphetamine sessions. UAC makes the hair on your arms stand up, when you see it in action, gives you dry heaves when you turn it off, and slits your throat when you discover that a hard freeze in Vista does a nearly unrepairable madjack on your user account profiles when you reboot.

There's an unspoken visual hint, a scene involving a topdown view of umbrellas in rain on a Tokyo sidewalk in Hikaru no Go, which suggests that when Monte Carlo methods finally apply to Go on the large, 19x19 goban (as they do on the 13x13 board, see MoGo), we resourceful humans will simply sidestep the issue by introducing color to the game. First red, yellow, blue, green, then as computers get uppitier than ever, chartreuse, plum, turquoise, peridot and champagne.
It ain't thought until you can change the rules in midstream.
