I enjoyed reading your detailed explanation and response to the parent's concerns. Very informative. My question (not addressed to you necessarily) is how do solar sail vehicles make the return trip back? They would still need a conventional form of thrust for the opposite direction, correct? I guess I only view solar sails as one directional boosts, much like taking an airplane flight and catching a westerly on your mass drag from LA to Dallas.
I gathered some concept of a spinning wheel of solar sails FTA, much like a traditional windmill. I like that design approach best, providing renewable thrust in both directions (albeit better in one).
Same here. I wonder just how much time some moderators actually spend reflecting on a post before plopping down some points (plus or minus). The parent was at least mildly on topic; apples to oranges maybe, but surely not apples to "Cheney thought Harry had the avian flu" type posts.
Does this work on linux and FF 1.5? I have 1.07 and this extension fizzles out hard like a good campaign promise. No installo amigo! No soupo for meo! If it works on FF 1.5 and linux, then I will try the FF upgrade and owe you a debt of gratitude. Does paypal work for you?
I think most here (not you) are blasting this new format unfairly. The only way I know how to save web pages in.pdf in linux and FF is to "print to file", and later convert that.ps to.pdf.
Drawbacks to this method (pdf)?
1. Does not store web pages completely as rendered dynamically.
2. Some frames are left out in.pdf.
*3. Fonts appear different and (sometimes wonky) in.pdf than the actual web page.
Pros to uni format?
1. Addresses flash and other embedded content currently.
2. (hopefully, although not stated in article or their site), it will preserve all frames in the archive.
*3. Preserve fonts as rendered originally on client. That's not a real biggy, but some.pdf rendered fonts are quite unreadable (to me at least) unless you print them off on paper at 300 dpi (or so). My screen isn't even 100 dpi.
Major cons to uni format?
Obviously, no linux (or mac) versions which the P in pdf addresses. I'm almost tempted to install wine and try this.exe out. I for one would use it (daily in fact).
Maybe alien civilizations already had this same philosophical discussion and failed; which might very well explain all the dark matter in the Universe.
By no means can two perfect copies of people be allowed to exist at the same time. It would rip apart the very fabric of space time as we know it. Therefore...
1. Materialize two pugil sticks into the data stream, one for each person. Let them duke it out American Gladiator style. Loser gets fed into a tree shredder (provided by Soylent Green Technologies).
2. Insert shark teeth and monkey tail DNA into the copy. He would be slightly different, and slightly cooler too. Men, otherwise wasteful empty beer cans now provide roughage as well. Ladies, flexible long second appendage for you. Think about it. 'Nuff said. Order preserved.
3. Keep both the original and copy. #$%@ the Universe! Take a chance. The Colossal Crumple is merely 5 billion years away anyway...
Yeah, I remember that show. I have all the seasons on DVD with the director's cut and interviews. The funny thing is, in 842 they originally had MacGyver using an old snake skin and banana peel instead, but for some strange reason, all the working prototypes in rehersal kept transporting the MacGyver crew on location to the Quantum Leap studios instead.
Unfortunately, this type of science and academic research tends itself to more biased (and synthetic) science; for example, environmental studies and their impact are ripe with that effect, on both sides. Most PhD(s) in academia will lecture you to the woes of such burdens placed upon them, captivating you like a wise nursery tale if you only indulge them but for a second.
Such was not the case only a few decades ago. What you witness today is the symbiosis between Market and Science. Their is no defense for it, nor practical excuse of it. And now we bear testament to science fair competitors enlisting a Jerry Springer type enterprise of lure and appeal? See a trend here? This is why you need substantial state or federal funding to offest this decaying influence from Industry (which is pandemic in our Universities).
...that linux is in "The Early Business Era" (stage 2)? When some distros like Ubuntu actually pay for and sponsor usability studies, I'd say Shuttleworth has this distro uniquely placed in "The Late Business Era" (stage 3). So, just grab yourself a middle man (for example) who scours linux forums for window migration user problems, relaying them back to the devs and artists, and that polish will become apparent in "The Product Design Era" (stage 4).
Thank you for today's sermon Reverend Ch-Chuck. So, as I leave these hallowed html halls of/. (on my way back to msnbc.com), is today's lesson on Chauvinism analogous to OS/2 followers? IBM is napolean? Well done, sir. 'Tis quite a morsel for me to savor the remainder of the day. Well done.
Ding! Ding! Ding! You, sir, earn my admiration and respect! You are correct; it was called Operation Overkill, not Outlook 2000 or whatever perversion I called it. Oh, those were the fun days of fancy free graphics and reflective wild imagination spent while off line, contemplating and expanding to that pictureless universe surrounding those door games, much like reading a book...
By those 4 markets (used, handheld, live, and direct), I think the article elaborates on a very important point - diversity. Afterall, I cannot play (or purchase) every single game product out there.
I didn't even get around to playing Doom3 until almost a year after it's release, and purchased it for almost half it's original cost. In that year interim, I had purchased other game titles at full price (and played them). So, I believe that diversity actually shows the strength of the gaming industry at present, as supported by those revenue figures in the article.
I only had a hayes 300 baud POS deluxe model v2; which came complete with a fancy smancy styrofoam handset seal. I really do not remember AOL at all during my BBS days. I do, however, remember Compuserve (sponsored by Sears) at a time, in addition to all the local BBS numbers. Those were the days, weren't they? I used to play some cool turn based MMO game called Outland 2000 (or something like that), circa mid to late 80s (I think). Radioactive mutants roamed the wastelands, but those blasted rassin frassin bounty hunters cost me many a new keyboard...
Ah, yes indeed! Cross platform compatibility is a feature too, no? I was just trying to be precise as to where that biggest hunk of memory use stems from. And I'm quite possibly even wrong even there.
What do you call service packs and patches? The public (customers) at large and various IT staff hold them accountable for these. Their life cycle model is no more unique than what other software development companies have.
I haven't followed mozilla in a while, but as best I understand it, Mozilla runs on top of what's called an APF (Application Programming Framework); who's main purpose is for cross platform compatibility. All browser application components like XML, CSS, and HTML all run on top of it.
Purpose? So a mozilla application developer does not have to port from one platform to the next. It's already done at that lower APF layer, which is compiled for each platform on which it runs. Price? memory and performance.
What about all these Aussies now hunting down and chasing toads with pellet guns? That's an awful lot of exercise there mate. Why are there no reports of extra long legged Aussies now?

And thanks. I will have nice days! Peace. See you on the other side real soon my friend!

or if the PTO dusts off some shelf and discovers this patent was actually granted to Worsley and Twist back in 1836 as well.
