From what I can see, he likes to get ideas from the public. And I will say there were a couple of cool ideas in that book...but the book itself was horrible.
The emotions were canned, the story forced and the characters unsympathetic. It degenerated into just-plain-silly at times with blatant attempts to be 'socially relevant' with all the subtlety of hammering a railroad spike with a hippo.
I'm not kidding when I say that it almost felt like a 7th grader who just watched Outer Limits sat down and wrote a book for his end-of-the-week project.
I worked at a support center some time ago and someone claimed a certain black man was sabotaging his site(when, in actuality, he, being an inbred moron, just broke his own damn site by running a Frontpage extension on a Unix server).

[Anonymity] should be allowed. People should be able to make that choice, and there are many reasons to make that choice. If you live in an oppressive regime, you may well want people to be able to remain anonymous or have secret communications. But at the same time, it should not be encouraged, and it should be acknowledged that itâ(TM)s a response to a bad situation.
The movie was very exceedingly faithful to the story until the first family member died. Then the movie became a flick about a horny robot and Jack Black.
The story never involved him falling in love. He lacked the hormones for it. Also, the continuity broke down quite a bit in the movie as well.
The movie wasn't bad and got the message through, but it certainly was Hollywood-ized.
No where near I, Robot(which had NOTHING to do with the book. I want my smoking, bitter old Calvin back, thankyouverymuch)
I wonder what effect any potential polar reversal would have?
From what I understand, the time interval between when N becomes S and S becomes N is still unknown. I wonder how long the interval would have to be for the eventual polar reversal of Earth to cause any serious effects to our atmosphere(aside from seeing armies of confused foul migrating North for the winter).
Where did you get your php info? foreach was introduced in PHP4, eval as well for error catching.
The object support was nasty, but still better then the pseudo-object crap that perl has. Neither has private objects and vars outside of normal scoping but at least php didn't require passing extra arguments and shifting them out via a pseudo-constructor.
I admit my immense ignorance of everything cellular biological but I don't quite get what you're saying.
Viruses possess an ability for locomotion and propagation. They also feed, discriminate against certain agents and other cells.
They are also 'squishy'(the best definition of life as I know it so far).
How is a virus not alive simply because it doesn't have adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine all twisted up inside a cell nucleus like a cheese string?
Especially considering we are forgetting the temporal factor. Even if life spawned somewhere(which is almost likely due to the sheer size of the cosmos even if it isn't infinite), we aren't factoring that the life was or will be rather then is.
Think about it: the odds against life forming on a planet are pretty grand as it is(we were pretty damn lucky). The odds of life appearing on a planet, at the same time as ours or at least equally/mildly more developed then ours(far overdeveloped may be difficult to recognize as life or at the very least relate to biologically), having survived development(again, we were pretty damn lucky), evolved intelligence we can identify as intelligent, survived this intelligence(a challenge in its own) all within the span of human past and/or future civilisation considering the vast scale timeline of the Universe are...well...astronomical.
I wonder if this move is to poison the waters of sorts. Microsoft wants a chunk of Google's marketshare in search and marketing.
If Yahoo release this for free then Microsoft buys Yahoo forcefully, this would mean they either have to give away their analytics tool or kill this one off, causing more ire in the webosphere(or whatever they call it now) they are trying desperately to appeal to of late.

I've only read one Sawyer book, Mindscan.

I'm hoping his other work is better.
I'll use colorful pictures with dinosaurs next time. Maybe that will help.

Did you get that? Or are you so apparently spoiled that sarcasm whizzes atop your head?

It would seem that she agrees.

Shouldn't you be working on Blender?

Agreed. First thing I did when I read up on this yesterday was search for "experts" and killed it.
@ signs are for arrays in Perl. Not sure if it's used for anything in PHP since it uses $ for both var and array declarations.
Or even something more visually interesting like '~>', ':>' or '-->' for readability.
But for your #5 point, PHP uses . for concatenation. That would get ugly.
For anyone who ever tried to have fun choosing a hotmail name:
"[censored] [censored] threw a chair because he hated Google."
or
"[censored] [censored] resigned as CEO of Microsoft."
Or of course, anyone who's heard voice chat during a Halo match:
[censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] you [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] in the [censored] [censored] [censored] with [censored] spoonfuls [censored] Lucky Charms [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] with a [censored] crammed diagonally [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored] [censored]"
or
"I hate it when the coffee shop leaves the [censored] in the cup, I never know where to put it and its too soggy to just leave on the table."
Well, that's disputable.
See, the Anonymous twats did the illegal search and seizing(not condoning this, mind).
The Feds would only be using the WikiLeaks records and the publicly reported record of the confirmation.
The Feds did no such searching or seizing as would be inadmissible.
Note: I am obviously not a lawyer

Also, you could type cast in php4 as well.
I'm Canadian but am impacted a lot by what goes on down there as certain parties luuuuv to peddle that sleeze Northward and beyond.
So allow me to throw some transnational thanks your way:) It greatly is appreciated.
I'm sooooo looking for the first good mocap mod using this.
Technically, it's a buck and a quarter quarterstaff, but I'm not telling -him- that.

(Not being snarky, I'm honestly curious.)
Prions I get, though.
I surfed the Chinese internet and media and found nothing that would make me believe this practice isn't perfection itself.
The gov't also has these nice pamphlets handed out by the armed peace-protectors telling me so.
PC, Xbox, PS3 and DS
DS version will be 2d vector based and far more....interesting looking(looks like those shaped felt cutouts you may have played with in Kindergarten)
PC, Xbox and PS3 will be that 3D procedural thing you saw at those tech demos and talks.

CBC(our national broadcaster) has podcasts for many of their shows and is trialing a bittorrent based video distro service.
Now go troll elsewhere, this bridge is too small for you.

No, I actually enjoy it very much myself.
Lots of URLs are just odd, and typing in the title is sometimes more convenient.
However, I understand why some people would like the option(in the options area, not about:config) to switch that behavior on and off.
