Oh, nevermind. It does do the zooming thing in Safari too. I just have to click on the plus or minus buttons instead of the bar inbetween. It zooms, then reloads on Safari as well.
Well, on Firefox it zooms, then reloads the map. On Safari it just reloads. On the latest Mac IE, it doesn't load. I gues Win IE does the zooming without the reloading.
By rest of the world do you mean rest of the US? The Far East doesn't support DST and Europe has DST that starts and ends on different dates than the US. Even if Indiana implements DST, there are still going to be complexities.
I really miss mp3.com's service where you could insert a CD that you own and mp3.com's software will remember it so that you can get it streamed to your computer at a later time. That service was found illegal unfortunately.
You can press down the control key when clicking to simulate right click. Personally I think trackpads are difficult to maneuver so I use a 6 button mouse instead.
Are you talking about laptops with a real scrollwheel or simulated scrollwheel? My old vaio (from '97) had built-in support for simulated scroll wheeling on the right side edge of the trackpad. It might be cool if a laptop had a built-in scroll wheel.
He obviously wasn't talking about Java vs Quartz but exposé vs fold-n-drop. Fold and drop clearly is an O(n) operation, where n is the numbrer of windows. Other solutions such as OS X exposé or Windows hover-over-taskbar-thingie on the other hand are O(1) operations.
Mindawn doesn't have an MS PlaysForSure certification either: they couldn't because they don't support MS WMA. Purchased songs are non-DRMed, so they probably wouldn't have had any problems if they also did the transcoding into MP3 and AAC for their iPod customers beforehand.
I think a deal with mp3tunes.com might have been better. While their selection is non-DRMed audio by little known arists as well, the songs are in a format, MP3, that is most widely supported by portable digital audio players, and no additional clunky software is required besides your web browser for obtaining these songs. I guess the tradeoff when choosing between the two services is support for Debian or a wider range of portable players.
At this point the traditional CD buying system seems to be the best option since it offers the widest selection, plus the payment scheme for most customers isn't a mysterious unknown as Mindawn's.
The actual product is being distributed in a limited area, but the company could care less about where the promo (advertisement) that they are distributing over BitTorrent gets downloaded.
Now if they were officially distributing the product itself, without any DRM and over BitTorrent, that would be newsworthy.
It's possible to draw up sanctions in a way that hurts the target politically without hurting other countries' economies too much.
"The EU has already drawn up a hit list of US imports worth about $2.2bn a year which will targeted with retaliatory sanctions.
"The list, which includes Harley Davidson motorcycles, citrus fruit, and textile products, is said to have been calculated so as to hit hardest regions which support President Bush's Republican party. " -- EU slaps $200m tariff on US imports
Also on the flip side, the US has China's balls in a vice as well since China can't afford to stop selling to the US.
If China breaks its obligations to various international organizations it is a member of, other member states will take collective action to put tariffs on select industries calculated to do maximum political damage.
After the battle of Okinawa killed off 30 percent of the civilian population there, the US had already secured Okinawa, marianas, and Iwojima. Dropping the atomic bomb came months afterwards.
2) russia. sure, we were their ally, but we all knew what they were, what they were going to do, and we wanted to send a message. if the rosenbergs (yes they were soviet spies) not given up the bomb, we'd have been in a totally different situation.
The rosenburgs could not have been used as part of the reasoning or justification for the use of the bomb when they were discovered to be spies after the war ended. Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill seem to have an awfully big grin on their faces in a joint photo that they've taken..
3) japan didn't surrender after bomb #1...
The fact that the bombs didn't have the power to bring Japan to immediate surrender (e.g. next day surrender) seems to go against one of the few touted strategic benefits of it, which is that it brings a rapid end to war by showing off military might. If the US could wait as they did after the Nagasaki detonation, couldn't they have waited more after the Hiroshima detonation and perhaps seen the war come to an end without the city of Nagasaki and the thousands of innocent civilians in it incinerated? And couldn't they have dropped it on a place with little to no civilian population instead of Hiroshima, if the main objective of using it was to show US military might?
4) politics. we were getting really tired of the war.
Yeah, and Hitler was really getting tired of Jews and homosexuals...
40 years after the sedan the french were screaming revanche and we got ypres and verdun. 40 years after hiroshima, the japanese were not and we got toyotas.
Even if US victory was good, that doesn't justify the use of the atomic bomb.
The US always says remember Pearl Harbor, remember 9-11, but neither were attacks on residential zones or as sustained an attack as ones experienced in other parts of the world. The US is the world's single super power yet it has not been the target of the the same level of tragedy it is capable of inflicting.
The sorry thing about nuclear weapons is that they're not useful strategically because conventional explosives already can be used effectively on strategic targets. Nuclear weapons now thousands of times more powerful than the one dropped on Hiroshima are only good for genocide.

Murder weapons for the purpose of murder weapons have very few legitimate uses. Sure, some people say killing people is a liberty we should all cherish and love and what not. The impression being given by a post I was replying to was that kitchen knife, a tool with a non-murderous functionality, was going to be banned for simply being too long. This was not true, as the BBC article which the poster based his post on explains. My point was that there were no plans to curtail the liberties of non-professionals to cook, but merely to curtail the availability of deadly weapons. If posession of deadly weapons is the great liberty that you think everyone should cherish, then I'm sorry to inform you that we simply disagree on that point.
Eastern Russia and Iceland has loosened their laws on alcohol and suicide rates have risen. I think Estonia recently had one of the highest suicide rates. Availability of alcohol does increase suicide rates. This is both true statistically and logically as well.
If everyone got free guns, then homicide rates will go up. If the government loosens restrictions and lowers taxes on alcohol, then alcohol-related suicide rates will go up, as well as the overall suicide rate. Similarly, if you increase the availability of deadly weapons, crime rate goes up as well.
According to the knife article, it seems like the idea isn't to ban long knives in general but to ban long and pointed knives. Chefs agree that the point of a short blade is equally useful, and there is no reason for long and pointed knives to be available at all. Thus banning these knives seem to me something that doesn't inconvenience innocent people while reducing occurances of serious injuries.
Even if cigarettes didn't give you cancer, it can still give you emphysema, heart attack, miscarriage, more wrinkles, bad odor, addiction, and eating disorder.
"Prize will be given away for the 480,100,000th Entry, 480,200,000th Entry,... 499,900,000th Entry"
Also:
"For the 500 millionth Entry, the winner will receive the Grand Prize. In the event that more than one entrant would be a winner based on the simultaneous timing of entries, one entrant will be randomly selected from those entrants as the winner. "
With more peers, you can get, for example, ten times the number of seeders but you can also get ten times the number of leechers, so there shouldn't be a speed difference once there are more than ten seeders. Less than that and you can get bottleneck problems.
WRT direct download versus BitTorrent, the solution is easy: just marry the two. if a dedicated server fed a bittorrent swarm, then the BT downloaders get a faster speed than just direct download alone.
By the way SafePeer is retarded because there's no way their IP list is well maintained or relevant to anyone. Just needlessly slows down swarms and eats people's CPU cycles.

I don't think he has a problem with RP, but merely pointing out that pro bloggers are probably not new (e.g. RP).
I compared it with Safari and Firefox - they look the same and I think it's the intended look.
1) marianas, iwo jima and okinawa.
After the battle of Okinawa killed off 30 percent of the civilian population there, the US had already secured Okinawa, marianas, and Iwojima. Dropping the atomic bomb came months afterwards.
