This will be a good thing to replace digitizers, for those still using them.
Before I was a web developer, I was an Autocad draftsman. I loved it when I used a digitiser. After going back to a mouse it just never felt quite right, a digitiser is a lot more accurate than a mouse and it never sticks. Looking back to the tablet to pick out commands might look ackward but it's actually not much different from a dual screen setup where you'd have your tools on the second monitor. For single monitors it's great because the monitor's real estate can be almost exclusively used up by your design and no space wasted by toolbars.
"I am worried about space programs in the face of rising fuel costs. I don't see the price of oil ever going below $50 again, and honestly the I don't believe the current upward trending is going to stop anytime soon (have you noticed how any little thing now causes oil to spike up?). Where will the space programs be in the face of $100 oil? Probably on the ground."
Yup. I think they should switch to a cleaner fuel like hydrogen.
The guy was obviously in a pissy mood. I mean, come one, robotic exoskeletons for the elderly (a bit like that Centurions cartoon that used to be on TV) and he didn't see anything interesting or exciting? Did he have anything more to say about the Dolphin-shaped craft other than the shape reminded him of a dolphin? What about some actual information about what was going on at the show instead of trying to be funny with stupid tales of escaping by water when exeskeleton-enhanced geriatrics chasing after him? Maybe he should have taken some Alka Seltzer for his hangover. Nothing is as easy to spot as an article that's been written by someone in a bad mood, with a hangover, or both. Sheesh!
"Paving the way for custom publishing in a multiple-channel environment with industry-leading design, page layout, publishing, enterprise workflow, personalization, and content management software."
They've been using Dreamweaver, on their website, haven't they? I'd recognise the random management mumbo-jumbo generator extension anywhere.
"They're joking, right? I haven't heard anything about [WinMX] in ages."
I haven't heard about them in ever.

"if you were a black person in america in the period following slavery up into the late 60's you would have no choice for being discriminated against or persecuted. Hell blacks were fucking hanged for just whistling at a white girl. This is fucking bullshit."
Okay, so use of the word 'persecution' is reserved for ethnic minorities only. Which word would you prefer us to use when talking about people who are given a hard time for reasons other than race?

With something so cheap and disposable, it is just a matter of time before these start to become part of the soldier's standard kit.
Wasn't that sort of thing (soldiers with cameras and camera-phones) cracked down on after the Abu Gharib thing?
Silicon Valley. The male:female ratio there sucks (if you're a guy) and the girls are complaining that they can't get a decent date cos the guys are all social zeros. I still work there, but for living purposes I moved to San Francisco a long time ago.
Is there something wrong with the English I'm using? I said, and the parent post said, that it is possible to send an SMS message without looking at the phone. It is possible. I have seen people do it. The person said quite clearly that he can do it. Why do some people find this so far-fetched? Why are there so many morons on this forum who can't read plain fucking English? Jesus Christ!
Is the cellphone designed to be fully used without almost looking at it.
What it was designed for is irrelevant. A phone's SMS interface can be used without looking at it in the same sense that a qwerty keyboard can be used without looking at it, i.e. enough practice will get you there. The parent post stated quite clearly that he was able to text without looking at his phone. What's that you were saying about 'idiots?'
If you know what you're doing, sending SMS requires about as much taking your eyes off the road as adjusting your radio, unless you're a true retard that has to stare at the damn thing while texting. If you took the trouble to read the fecking post you'd see that the guy is one of these people who can text without looking at the phone. But I can see why SMS wouldn't appeal to the likes of you - you clearly can't read.
Mate, don't let the bozos who have replied to you get you down. They obviously can't get it into their heads that sending SMS while driving is no different from adjusting the stereo or changing gear. In fact it's a hell of a lot safer than chattering into a hands-free kit (and a million times safer than chatting directly into the phone) because you're not involved in a two-way conversation with someone outside of the vehicle. Chatting to your passenger is one thing, because if something goes wrong on the road then your passenger will soon know to shut up and probably give you a warning about it. Chatting with someone outside of the vehicle is a very different sort of conversation and is inherently dangerous because it takes too much concentration. Tapping out a short text is far easier.
Yeah right, that [sending SMS while driving but without taking eyes off the road] doesn't distract you from driving at all. Idiot. I hope you stop this practice before you smear some poor pedestrian over your windscreen. People like you make me sick.
Do you adjust your radio when driving? Idiot. I hope you stop this practice before you smear some poor pedestrian over your windscreen. People like you make me sick.
There is something to be said for removing pollutants from city streets and putting them elsewhere where they can disperse before reaching people's lungs
Overconsumption is a symptom of short-sighted single-use zoning regulations that outlaw the construction of traditional city streets as we know them and insist on the construction of suburban strip-malls, highways, and sprawling parking lots to accomodate cars, elimintate pedestrians, and create a vicious circle of car-dependant development and all the induced traffic that comes with it.
We're not talking about terrorists or terrorist attacks. Please get over your "oh woe is me, I'm an oppressed American, the only people in the world ever to have suffered terrorism" routine. People all over the world have been putting up with terrorism since before you were born, it was not invented in September 2001
Thanks for preceeding your flaming and trolling with "not trying to flame or troll," nice to know you can do it without trying
1.2 million people a year die on the world's roads. Yet whenever a one-off incident (even a non-fatal / non injury one) grabs the headlines because there was something unusual about it, people start to panic.
There are plenty of places in this world that have been dealing with terrorism for a lot longer than since 2001. They all seem to get on with their lives pretty well.
I'll stop linking to the journal entry when people stop bashing Flash for no reason other than the fact that they don't know what they're talking about. The number of misconceptions about Flash have decreased slightly here, but ignorance still abounds.

There's nothing in the rest of the post worth bothering about.
