In order to understand how bees carry such heavy cargo, the researchers forced the bees to fly in a small chamber filled with a mixture of oxygen and helium that is less dense than regular air.
"Try this!" I should try what? I am not sure about these researchers, but I do not yet have wings and an air tank. Maybe they're overestimating the Try-This-At-Home market a little.
The story was probably typed up using some silly word processor that converts fi and fl at the beginning of words to their appropriate ligature characters, which were then filtered out (no idea why) so they show up as blank spaces.
If you view the images by themselves (not in a web page) they look alright. Slashdot for some reason shrinks them so they look horrible and pixelated, and gives them useless alt text.:(
Auto-populating their username and password into the browser is done by the browser and nothing extra is given back to the website. Not so in the case of cookies.
I'm afraid it would have to be an ongoing thing; the Earth is slowing down due to tidal braking, and as it's unpredictable enough already just figuring out when to give our planet a nudge would be hard enough. Good luck!
Opera has been an innovative browser for some time; it was one of the first to offer popup blocking, tabs (or MDI of some description), sessions, mouse gestures, and so on. However, since then, other browsers have implemented them as well; Firefox has extensions offering mouse gestures and sessions, and popup blocking and tabs are now commonplace.
After offering so many features, would you prefer browsers such as Firefox and IE to come up with their own ideas instead of taking them from other browsers, or prefer the sharing of ideas so the web is better off overall?
Yeah, but that's not how they're going to market it. "Tired of missing stories? Want to see news unfold as it occurs? Use Microsoft Web Feeds!" If it seems like a good idea to many people, it doesn't matter if it's actually useful or not.
It's not important to be put into an OS, not even a web browser in my opinion, but right now Microsoft're stuffing as many features as possible into Vista and are going to market the hell out of them to get people to upgrade.
10 minutes looking for a menu? Do you have any idea what you are talking about? It's in the Special menu. Actually, no, let me make a list.
Special menu, Eject Disk.
Control-E.
Command-Shift-1.
Control- or Right-click and select Eject Disk from the menu.
Drag it to the Trash.
Try looking harder next time, please.
It is non-intuitive, though. In days of olde, when a disk was ejected from a mac, you could still browse the file tree on it, but you'd need to insert the disk to view/change files. This was very handy when you needed to copy files between two disks, and only had one floppy drive. (This was before hard drives were insanely popular).

I sincerely hope that your sig has nothing to do with your post
Does that mean that the time limit is 150 milliseconds now?
Actually, Perl 6 will use ~ for concatenation, 'cause it's like tying two strings together. So dot is free.
"We'll have systems that tap our knowledge by the minute," [Pierre Haren] says. "Productivity could rise by a factor of 10."

That's nice, but which factor? 1 is a factor of 10
I thought they used space shuttles to send things to other planets. Oh, the things you learn...

Try this!

Holy batman, it does work as well! Sadly, it's a bit faint, even at full volume and with open tubes. And it makes you look like a prat.
There's a market to be had here, surely.
Well of course we do! Ever thought what base the source files are stored in?
So I did, whoops. Everybody listen to parent, not me.
My point was that you don't need cookies enabled to have your username and password filled in for you, that was it. What's the problem?
One way is to make all cookies session-only, Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy -> Cookies -> for the originating Web site only.
And Firefox 1.5 has a delete things option from a menu bar.
What more could you want?

I like the similarity between the G here and this Q here :)

Never attribute malice to that which can be explained by stupidity.
Why not? Anything can be (and often is) justified by stupidity these days.
Yeah, but that's not how they're going to market it. "Tired of missing stories? Want to see news unfold as it occurs? Use Microsoft Web Feeds!" If it seems like a good idea to many people, it doesn't matter if it's actually useful or not.

I'm surprised that no-one has mentioned drive letters. Which is better, Drive E: or /media/ipod?

So there you go.

I find it hilarious how someone called "Aqua OS X" is mocking change, in favour of using what everyone else does.
You were being sarcastic, right?
Dude, ew. If I were you, I'd append (>>), otherwise your cheeck would be overwritten, making you look quite messy and in need of a facefsck.
