So do you want to help as many people as possible or make people hate you and get rich? Inventors and artists go for the former, while self-centered businessmen go for the latter.
I'm not sure I understand why they feel the need to probe Einstein. Despite being dead, I'm sure he would mind so-called scientists sticking cold, metal devices in his corpse's rectal cavity.

That's interesting because I would prefer to not have scrolling menus because I don't like waiting for them to scroll. Multiple columns is faster than a single scrolling column and makes sense when the columns aren't wide.
Fair enough, it's just that most software projects get bigger and slower when adding features, not the other way around. I'm not saying it's not possible, but I find it hard to believe without writing in assembly or something.
As these cars get more and more advanced its getting harder for doityourselfers to even attempt to modify or maintian them.
Someone please tell my dad this. He's always trying to fix cars that are a little too complicated for anyone to figure out in a weekend. The cars slowly start to have problems more frequently until, at long last, the car stops running on the highway and I'm 20 miles from claiming my lottery ticket on my way to marrying Britney Spears. You could say I'm bitter.
Nothing to do with bikes, but are companies investigating the ability to recycle cars in a fairly efficient fashion? Is it even possible to do so? It seems that this would prevent the Grand Canyon in the US from filling up with old H2s and whatnot but still not cost a ton like repairing complex cars.
Anyone heard anything about this?

Any facts to back your claims up? Optimizing code isn't something you can just always do; sometimes code can't be improved. Additionally, since Qt 4 will have many new features, it would make sense that it may actually be slower and bulkier than its predecessor since it is more complicated.
So the shows you listed are not actually good? Is that the point you're trying to make?
Basically you're just saying that there are lots of other shows that suck just as much as the garbage on HBO.
I'm not saying the stuff isn't somewhat entertaining, it's just nothing new. Same jokes, different context. Some new jokes. I turned away from TV for the most part because it's mostly no longer creative or innovative, it's just more new shows that are really just old shows in disguise.
I don't know why I'm arguing with you. You said Crank Yankers was good. Does that show suck? YEEEEEEESS! Does it have the most annoying character on TV? YEEEEAAAAAH!
I'm tired of having bookworms look down on everything I do as not being "enriching" (a term whose definition is open for debate). Writers only take the time to craft detailed descriptions and paint vivid word pictures because they don't have the means to throw up the images on a screen the way movie directors do.
I'll admit writers can conjure up impressive images with their words, but (aside from the argument from imagination) in the end it's all just a substitute for actually taking the reader somewhere.
WTF? You can let your mind drift during a movie or (not as likely, but still possible) during a TV show. I can clearly recall doing so under both circumstances.
I don't see how reading is any better than a movie and (to a lesser extent) TV. You're still passive, it's just slower and uses a lot more language. I personally feel that the more complicated/interesting language is A Good Thing, but I also feel that images are much more memorable than words.
I've read books in the past (not very many, I'll admit), but I don't remember them that well because they're just too long and not engaging enough.
Wow, did the networks pay you to make that comment or what? Most of the shows you listed are not funny and actually nothing more than modernized/coolified versions of older lame comedy shows.
But who am I to point that out? I enjoy Family Guy, Reno 911, This Just In, and Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. But at least I don't call it "top quality TV."
That's funny, because your story isn't in first person. That's a second person shooter (something I have not yet seen implemented). You may now commence development on hundreds of similar genre fad (I mean second person) shooters.
touted by Microsoft as being 'the ubiquitous, indispensable filesystem format utilized for the interchange of data files and other media between computers and components within said computers such as hard drives and floppy drives, and, since the advent of inexpensive, removable solid-state flash memory modules, also between digital consumer electronics devices including, but not limited to, PDAs, digital cameras, digital camcorders, USB watches, and small USB solid-state flash memory module-based portable high-speed aerodynamic happy ultra X-treme fubar frobnified xyzzy data storage devices.
Actually, I was looking for a device that, like the mouse, does not have a limit on its speed. That is why I prefer a mouse to a joystick/keyboard in all cases where precision is needed, but where I still need to sweep over large distances quickly.
A tilt-based controller would still suck as far as I'm concerned.
Is it even possible for one's hand to control an input device that works in 3 dimensions?
I mean, two trackballs/trackball and wheel would be extremely awkward. Mouse+trackball would be nearly impossible to control (namely when attempting to drag 'n' drop or click), and 3D mouse would cause all sorts of arm problems with long term use, I would think (and then there's the issue of how much space that'd require).
No, I say we need a direct brain interface like in the Matrix.

Glad to know I wasn't the only one who noticed that. Have you been abducted as well?

You do realize that the article is about MP3.com, right?

- No Letting Go, Wayne Wonder (relaxed, Jamaican feel)
- Pimp Till the End, Lloyd Banks (relaxed)
- 10 Mins, Joe Budden (slow, but interesting)
- Stand Up Nucca, Joe Budden (kind of slow, but very vivid)
- Banks Victory, G-Unit (moderate, but vivid and intense)
- Paid in Full, Eric B. & Rakim (club track that's lyrically interesting)

Yes, yes I would. By pirating and stealing from the big companies, you're ignoring the smaller/independent products out there.

Your depiction of business practices very high up in large corporations is stunningly accurate.

I wonder what would happen if China began requiring all computers in the country to run some unspecified distributed application.
Not trolling, just musing. I doubt such a thing would happen in any country.
