Well, I haven't done any research on the subject, but that assumes that birds evolved from dinosaurs, if birds are so closely related, couldn't dinosaurs have evolved from birds?
In that case, the infant 'saur would most likely resemble a small bird, which I could definitely imagine.
This, of course raises a need to distinguish what nature of evolution the creatures went through. It could stand to reason that dinosaurs evolved from birds, but then when the environment changed, the birds were more suited to survive, and were best fitted to survive, thus evolving from the dinosaurs.
TV Shows and movies, especially dramas, always destroy the mood if they have silly math.
I watched numb3rs the other day for the first time. They kept showing shots of this "equation" up on a big black board. The main character was contemplating the ethics of what he does, but the silly mess of integrals and summations on the board behind him just killed it.
Mac OS X is up there, but it's definitely not stealing clicks from Jaguar's business, and "Jaguar" is their ENTIRE name, unlike "TigerDirect," which, by the way, still comes up ahead of Apple when you google "Tiger" Also, OS X doesn't even come up at all when you google their actual name: "TigerDirect"
Even in a language that is supposedly "self-documenting" like ObjC just from the naming conventions, I find that it's much easier to work with the code if about 20% of the lines in the codebase are comments (including those in header files).
Exactly, Google is fighting those who take advantage of the pay-per-click ad services. Therefore they are not a company that is "allowing people to do such things."
Then why didn't we see crap like this before the IPO?
The answer: big money comes in, everything falls apart.
That's a little short-sighted.
A) Maybe Google wasn't as a prominent presence on the web before
B) Maybe Google didn't have the money for people to steal that it does now.
C) Maybe people now feel that they can take advantage of a company if said company suddenly become "big money"
Some times people need to get off of their "all big companies must be horrible because they have the power to be" trip and think about what they would do in that situation.
Anybody else notice the rapid crapification of Google since the IPO?
There's a difference between "crapification" and "legitimization."
Google needs to protect themselves and their legitimate clients. Why would a company allow practices that were essentially stealing money from them, and for that matter, why would someone invest in a company that allowed people to do such things?
Actually, it's for a class called "Novel & Film" where we read the book, watch the movie and write things about both (high school senior writing elective).
So I'll end up seeing it anyway. And when I do, I'll probably just put it into my Netflix cue.
This is actually a great time to discuss this with Xcode 2 on the horizon. Xcode 2 is the newest version of Apple's free IDE that comes with their developer tools and can also be downloaded from Apple Developer Connection [Free Registration Required].
Along with GCC4.0 and new UML-graphing utilities, this next revision that'll be available on the 29th looks like it's really packing some enhacements.
I've been using Xcode 1.5 (the current iteration) to work with Cocoa Objective-C (see above for tons of info on the language) and coming from a platform neutral C++ and PHP background have found it very intuitive, and if coded correctly Objective-C is a pleasure to use. I can say that Aaron Hillegass' book Cocoa Programming For Mac OS X is a great utility, along with CocoaDev and Cocoa Dev Central.
There really are some great independent films out there, even ones that are [gasp] foreign. Just yesterday i saw an amazing Hungarian movie, Kontroll, in downtown NYC.
It was the second time my girlfriend had seen it, and I'm definitely willing to see it again... I'm even tempted to order the DVD of of amazon.de.
It's the only movie i've seen in theatre in the past few months, and it was worth it.
Sorry, I haven't worked with such things for a while now, but I do remember an X11 environment a few years back handling it that way. And apparently my memories of BeOS are incorrect as well.
I'm pretty sure I'm just thinking of the X11 behavior when you right click the desktop. Sorry about that.
Apple has classically supplied Mac users with single-button mouses while supporting multi-button ones for a valid reason. They do this to keep developers from hiding functionality in layers of contextual menus.
If you notice, in every properly developed application for Mac OS X anything found in the contextual menu can also be found in the menu bar, and sometimes either other places. The contextual menu should be used as a short-cut to functions, not the only place they reside.
In working with Microsoft Powerpoint (Microsoft embraces just about as many standards on the Mac as they do in Windows) there are many functions that can ONLY be accessed through contextual menus.
Sure this is fine if you've found it before, or someone has told you about it, but when someone learns a new application, it does'nt make sense to have some functions accessible by an expected means and others embedded in contextual menus (which tend to be wholly unorganized compared to the hierarchical structure of the menu bar.)
Most flavors of UNIX, along with BeOS solve this problem by making the contextual menu just a vertical menubar menu. Each method has tradeoffs. In the end Apple is just making it so that Developers know that they have to code for the greatest cross-section of mac users, who may or may not have a multi-button mouse.

So /. is now a third rate knock off of a third rate rumor web site?
What Lucas project is in the works that needs an older Solo? B.S.
But, the bigger thing is, why is /. doing entertainment rumor?
Since when are Star Wars rumors not nerdy enough to go on
As a

Yeah, Han in carbonite, Leia in slave bikini, and Boba Fett.
No, but i hear it does scramble the DRM.

The more purposes you give a piece of a hardware, the less effectively that piece of hardware operates for each individual purpose.
If integration were the key to everything, Microsoft should abandon the XBox and start working on optimizing their OS.

If you ask me their argument is a load of crap.
Just look at how Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar effected Jaguar the car manufacturers in the google search results for "Jaguar"
Mac OS X is up there, but it's definitely not stealing clicks from Jaguar's business, and "Jaguar" is their ENTIRE name, unlike "TigerDirect," which, by the way, still comes up ahead of Apple when you google "Tiger" Also, OS X doesn't even come up at all when you google their actual name: "TigerDirect"

If it's good enough for Silent Bob, it's good enough for me. Can't wait to see it in theaters.

That would indeed remove most all of the phishing vaulnerabilities.

And when I do, I'll probably just put it into my Netflix cue.
But just to clarify, this is absolutely my own damn fault.
Computer's aren't to blame, it's really just a matter of self-control.
I should be doing my homework right now: reading Rabbit Proof Fence.
Instead, I'm reading Slashdot.
There you go, no study necessary.
Now if you excuse me I need to go back to my work.
