A lot of thought went into the interface. Originaly the phone was the right way up with the screen at the top, but this put the buttons at the bottom! Not a good shape for a mouse. So, the phone was inverted with the screen where your palm would rest. This makes the keypad available for buttons. Not surprisingly I used three buttons, Star, Zero and Hash (pound for US'ites). Originally I intended to make the volume up/down on the side into a scroll wheel but it seems that its just not positioned right when the phone is upside down, and I decided that left right buttons were more important than scroll wheel.
Emphasis mine.
Except, in the video, the buttons ARE at the bottom. Unless he moved the window around (while holding the button down) and then flipped the phone around with massive ninja skills so we can see him moving it...
No, no. I'll stop trying to make up excuses to explain it
Oh, Oh! I've got one. Take a lemon, a piece of zinc, and a piece of copper... well, you know the rest.
I know, it's not much. But it's hundreds of times more interesting than this article.
It's like saying "We've used a band aid to hold together this light bulb, battery, and piece of wire. look! we can show you how to make a flashlight out of a band aid!" Quite deceptive indeed.
Because it allows the kids to play with methods/objects independant of the rest of the program. Great for debugging when you're learning (and just plain learning). It's somewhat of a lightweight, no frills IDE at that. It also does a bit of the UML stuff.
After playing with it a while, I wish I had something like it for C++ debugging. Makes testing a whole lot easier.
It operates more like ziplock baggies. Go get one, rip off the bag part, zip the zipper closed, break one end of the fused halves, put your thumb on one half (the yellow side) and your index finger on the other (the blue) and move back and forth. That's exactly how this moves, just they added a third axis of contraction.
Frankly, it disgusts me that they're paying for something so ordinary. Maybe if they figured out how to do it in a non segmented appendage, to allow for more than just N degrees of opposability, as that does offer some difficulties, but this is redicilous.

It might be an encoding problem on their end, but regardless, it is in fact, on their end.
You holier-than-thou guys should read the Nintendo blip about it before assuming that we're the presumptuous ones: http://revolution.nintendo.com/
yes, wait for the animation.
Here, so you don't have to:
Introducing... Wii.
As in "we."
I'm just going to stop there.
Read the rest of the paragraph though, you'll see further reinforcements.
No. He only needs to write a small aspect of it. Then he can use that to bootstrap in more functionality, ala compilers written in their own languages.
No. I'm serious (it's not just me! check out half those threads). Accordion Hero would be pure awesome (like lens flare, and motion blur). That's your next task. You may begin now.
(yeah, yeah, I realise it's just a controller, no software for Accordion hero, but have to start somewhere)
Preview is a gimmick. The narrow/expand/alternate search thing makes TONS of sense. I often search for things, and just randomly throw together keywords hoping to find it. If it would be able to suggest other common searches (as opposed to just misspellings), that'd be great. Since often times I'm left blindly searching for things (sort of like looking up a term in a dictionary if you don't know how the word is spelt - at all, not just the exact spelling).
Is there any way to turn off the preview thing? Erm, I suppose killing JS would do it. I just don't want to waste the bandwidth loading 10 little pictures per page. Then again, I suppose I should just go look for myself.
Speaking of which, anyone know the economics term for something that can be used by lots of people without being consumed? (like a lecture, any number of people can experience the lecture, without detracting from other people's experience, as opposed to like... a sandwich.)
A few posts up, the author of one of the patches describes this bug and the fix. It fixes a function, makes it do exactly what it was supposed to do, instead of returning an inappropriate value.
If this breaks existing functionality in some application, then those existing apps are using the function incorrect (or put another way, exploiting the bug, whether maliciously or otherwise), and any fix to the function will break them.
Wouldn't the opposite be more appropriate (not the france bit)? America getting 0s and the rest of the world getting the 1s, that way they can use extended characters (both ASCII, and Unicode)?
Yes, well, we've got these bones. And we're going to test them to make sure they match with the known DNA sequence of Copernicus.
Alright, so, they track down known relatives... problem is, 500 years? Thats what... 25 generations? "Yes, this man is Copernicus's Great-great-great-....-great-grandson. We can see they both have green eyes. This woman is his great-great-...-great-granddaughter, twice removed. We can see by this DNA that they're both left handed. So, of course, these must be is bones!"
Not to mention he didn't have any kids of his own. Which just quarters the probabiliy of similarities.
Or did I miss something? Anyone know how accurate this will actually be?

Yeah, it's a fake.

Your current computers don't cease to exist (or run, on windows) when you tell them they are no longer allowed to do business.
It will simply force MS to rethink their compliance, or face a whole continent migrating to other operating systems.

Stupid name change aside... self loading media bay? no tray?
While I couldn't find more information on this, I expect this to be a "you slide the disk in a slot" sort of loading...
great, just what I need.. mandatory contact with my disc surfaces. Scratched surfaces here I come!
ugh.

Yep. Kissy and Goodnight (those are control styles) both were dual controller setups.

Just what we need, a kernel that can dance along. So, I guess this means it has ARM support?
