But you couldn't get anything done that way. When I go online anywhere, it's going to take me almost an hour just to situate myself! I don't want to be interruped, not only to change the code (presumably an encryption key) but also go and purchase something.
It'd be better if I could buy seven cups of coffee for seven hours of MUDdin^H^H^H^H^H^Hbrowsing the internet.
One of the books tells us that, in order to give pilots a better situational awareness, there are devices within the cockpits of at least this one type of starfighter which translates event outside the craft into sound.
Sounds more like an author who was likewise fed up with that whole "sound can't move through vacuuum" thing, but who knows!
I'd like eyes that could temporarily be a part of a fusion reacton, and then be back to normal. It'd beat having eyes that can't see without large amounts of bending of light.
Come now. This word processor, that word processor; Any old one will do the same thing. I just say 'em all and learn to use it before they notice I didn't know how to use it.
Are you mental? Lucas didn't even have plans to make a trilogy, let alone 9 movies:P He had just made up backstory and forward story, and as his success rate went, he realized he could do well making that first trilogy, and now this trilogy.
I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but Lucas has/never/ written a SW book. He's done some scriptwork, but every books been either done by some guy real close to Lucas (name escapes me), or LucasFilms licensed authors who have developed several (and I mean several) dozens of books, and I know that for a fact since I own all of them!
And the book is indeed out for Ep. III, written by Mathew Stover (author of best selling SW:NJO: Traitor). It was adapted from the screenplay, as ALL of the other books were.
Does this mean an end to Macromedia's product, or will they just slowly fall to the back, similar to what happened to Netscape? I'll admit, I'm definitely a fan of Dreamwaver. Adobe's editor isn't bad, but are they actually going to make it better by combining it and Dreamweaver, or is it just going to slowly move into a dominant position?
You'd think this is funny, but I know a suprising amount of people missing at least 1 thumb. THis device would be handy for those with incomplete digits.
I think the ideal base would be something mobile. On the planet Nkllon, there was a mining colony called Nomad City that was built on top of old AT-AT walkers, and it was able to stay in front of the intense heat of the sunny-side of a planet.
While there's no need for a mobile base in regards to safety, being able to explore with all hands aboard a base, or even just move to a place with new resources, could prove valuable.
At work, we're facing a similar problem. We're a newspaper, and we have an online edition. Currently, we have a database driven system for articles, each with a unique ID. so basically every article looks the same. However, the main section pages are done by hand each time, for customability and design purposes.
Next year, though, our tech department (which is highly undeserving of the name, from one geek to all you) wants to have even that portion of the site be all automatic DB driven templates. It would cut out between 3-4 man hours a night, but it would lose all customabilty, all uniqueness. It's a decision we face, and it seems similar to this problem of cranking out identical decisions. When do we let efficiency override creativity and uniqueness?
Unless your code is infested with horrible documentation, sloppy and inefficient code, or old codes that some would almost let through, but are stopped by the guy in the black suit.
Recently in an argument over this topic in general, the one argument that I couldn't immediately break apart was that open-source projects can be very non-newbie friendly. I know there are several exceptions, but so many of my acquaintances will disregard OSS apps just because the closed ad-filled mainstream apps are streamlined for their non-caring comfort.
I finally won on the FireFox battle, but the big one, running a Linux flavor, is going to take a lot more work.
What? This isn't about open vs closed? Oops...
But I can't help but think how this could ruin some programmers. There are some programmers who live by documenting their work before they actually write it, as a guide to what they do. In fact, in my assembly language class, they say this is the best way to do it (not true IMHO, but oh well).
besides, don't you just get a thrill out of documenting a finished routine, going to compile it, and realize you copy/pasted over a large chunk of code? or, more likely, forgetting an end tag and commenting out half of your storage?
The point is, unless you're going to program the robot or house or whatever yourself, it's going to be a problem to set up a standardized system that a program can understand. Sure, you can add in set after set of "dialects" for a machine to interpret, but in the end there'll always be someone who sees english different, and will put in something invalid.
Closest I've seen is COBOL, and...well...we all know about COBOL don't we?

You know, I think the whole dupe thing has been duplicated far more many times than was needed. Therefore, I stricken your comment a dupe.
I fully blame the user, as I don't have/notice these so-called problems on *this* page.
I may give you the fact that she's as massive as a neutron star. However, a hoho? they're just good!
Perhaps they just need punkbuster support?

you were looking at an article over there.

Time to move to England, eh chap?

Now the editors are just flat out telling us when it's a dupe?
At least we're mostly harmless to the lot of you.
It's seven, but your point still stands. May 19 has seen the end of a good series, and it will see the end of another.
We have sleeping bags!
THey used them all up, so they went onto ISCN, but nobody liked that name, so they jumped directly to ISDN.
Oh sorry. You get +1 for insightfulness, but you lose all prestige from that by misposting as the first post :(
