The rerelease of Fable was much more finished that the original, and I liked both, but it still didn't meet the expectations there where for the original version.
Sure,I had a computer by the ime I was 7. I had the original Atari before that and I've owned every console Nintendo's put out since they started. But untill I was in High School, my main idea of fun was taking wooden swords we all had and start swinging at each other. Sure, there were a few broken fingers and a collar bone one time, but it was all in fun and kids heal fast. Once I was in highschool, I played video games more, but I would still rather go out on an ATV/Snowmobile or hoseback riding if there was someone else who wanted to go. Paintball is still a blast and If I see a casual foltball game, I'll be playing. Minds aren't the only thing kids develop when their young. It affectes how athletic they are later in life. Now If I had any, sure, I would let them play video games, but I would do my very best to get then to want to get out and do other things.
I don't know about Crichton's SF myself, but I don't think it could be worse... At least one person has said that he did actual research for it. I don't know if it's true or not, but TDAT was so scientificly outrageous it's sad.
I'm not scared. I'm perfectly willing to brave the dangers to go to Mars for The U.S., Science, and Humankind...(And Women... And Endorement Deals...:P)
I use very few keyboard shortcust for EVE Online. Ctrl+Left mouse is the most common one to lock a target. Beyond that, everything can be done with the mouse without any trouble. Rightclick opens a menue on just about everything in the game. The only possible problem is going through a menue to warp out in combat if it's laggy and then it's still not that hard.
It depends on what it's for. The vast majority of DoD machines have Windows, but there are rome redhat boxes around as well. I've only seen OS programs on the Linux boxes beyond seeing Firefox every once in a while...
From TFA: John Backus, another former Turing Award winner, acknowledged Naur as the driving intellectual force behind the definition of Algol 60. He commented that Naur's editing of the Algol report and his comprehensive preparation for the January 1960 meeting in which Algol was presented "was the stuff that really made Algol 60 the language that it is, and it wouldn't have even come about, had he not done that."
And from your own refrence, Naur says I don't know where BNF came from in the first place. I don't know -- surely BNF originally meant Backus Normal Form. I don't know who suggested it.
Now, tell me, does that sound like he's trying to steal the credit?
The US government wasn't responsible for it, it was local and state government that was in charge of it. I don't see anywhere in the constituion "protect states from their own stupidity". While FEMA may not have ran perfectly, they were there to clean up. They had nothing to do with prevention.
If the population keeps growing, we're going to be in a flood of people anyways, at least untill we outbreed our means to produce food and the vast majority starve. The last 5 yaers are the hottest in recorded history. I'm sorry, but how far back do our climate records go? Not that far in the grand scheme of things. We can get guesses from geology, and what do you know, the Earth has been going from sweltering jungle to frozen wasteland for millenia. Sure, I'm betting a lot of people will have to move or drown. Michigan used to be a sea. There have been fossils from ocean animals found in the Rocky Mountains. Change is the natural way of things. I think it's pretty presumptious of us to think we're causing it. Volcanoes put out far more greenhouse gasses than anything humans do. It's not the only problem we have either. I don't think it's the worst one we have by a long shot. New fuel sources, population control, etc.... The fact that life is still around proves that climate change is survivable and we're more ready for it than anything we know of in the past.
If it continues getting warmer, that's IF, then the ice will begin to melt at a higher rate and we could all be swimming in a hundred years. I don't think it'll happen, but it's not quite as simple as you make it sound. Climate does change, it has been for millions of years. It's not the hottest it's ever been on Earth, it very well may get hotter, but it's not going to be the end of the world.
I could see laptops replacing docking stations. The Battery point is mute as you can use it while it's charging. Guess what, you can hook a laptop up to almost anything you can hook a desktop up to. Desktops do see high end tech before laptops, but they aren't far behind. My laptop may be considered a big boat of a space heater by some of you, but it does what I want it too. I can do anything I use my desktop for on my laptop and I can toss it in my backpack and take it anywhere I want. As for smaller devices, I think it will be a while before they can really replace a desktop or laptop. Perhapse once we have holoscreens or they can interface directly with our brains.
Maybe I'm missing something, but how is Apple in trouble here? It's the other companies that are under investigation. Apple is the one who's actually using competitive prices. And what's even better, they are pricing based off of cost, not demand. Buisness practice dosn't get much more honest than that. The only way I see they could lose is if they lose customers as competitors are forced to drop their prices by the government.
Yeah, Fable had a lot of potenial, but the original release was unfinished. I still liked the game, and the rerelease of it was a big improvement, but it still should have been much better.
Maybe you don't pay as much attenion, but every time I hear about hostages being taken or a bombing in the Middle East, most of the government and religious leaders denounce it publicly. Not all of them, there are leaders who are publicly against us, but they are becoming scarce very quickly. The vast majority of them are good people, it's just a few who make all the news. Most of the bombings in Iraq are done by foriegners who come there to try to make their point.

Yeah, I've heard it used to signify stupidty the vast majority of the time.

Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot this is /. where having your email read is x10 worse than being shot/abducted....

Actually, the NSA isn't that bad, jsut more secretive. It's the CIA/FBI you have to worry about...

Bill Gates' greatest feat is making you belive he dosn't exist! It's the End of the world! RFID will destroy us all!

Mod the parent redundant, as everyone knows duct tape will fix almost anything.

Isn't owning MS stock the equivilent to treason around here? I vote we hang him! I have a rope right here.

So filing patents on ideas you think someone will make money off of someday makes you a "good guy"? Were you an Emporer Palpatine fan?

Better than Michigan. Jenifer Granholm is a pretty face with a silver toung. She changes sides on issues as it suits her. https://www.nationalreview.com/comment/payne200407 280201.asp

Yep, Word 9.0.6 finds nothing wrong with that. I don't see anything offhand myself. What exactly are you smoking and where can I find some?
