Scientists make mistakes, too. They're not perfect. And my point was that no matter how much science or math they know, they might need a creative mind's help.
Apple abides by the law, and people get pissy over it
Apple may have complied with the law requirements. But the law was really weak in this sense. The point of releasing the code is to HELP OTHERS understand the changes you've done.
If you don't do that, it's a dead law. It's like if you obfuscate some code that you found in a GPL project, and release the obfuscated changes. Is that a good thing?
It's like if someone took the Linux kernel (1.0) and made so many changes that it doesn't look like linux anymore. Among those changes there is a bugfix. Can you just distribute the code for the *FINAL* version and expect the Linux contributors to understand it?
I'll put this in 3 words to help others understand Apple's attitude towards Safari and KHTML.
Well, that's better than nothing... or is it?:( I wonder if the Safari source code is available so you can diff between the safari versions and see what's changed... do you think that's feasible?
Oh, and congrats for your effort in keeping KHTML standards compliant:)
Actually it's not a bad idea at all. I mean, kids play with their remote-controlled toys and sometimes they have to flip them over. If this happens with a toy, what tell us it won't happen to the Mars Rover?
After all, didn't DaVinci used his creativity to design the precursors of today's modern inventions, like the helicopter, or the glider?
So yes, why not play with more toys and watch more robot battles to get ideas?
I think they're digging their own grave by constantly trying to be different
I think you're wrong. Have you seen the Castlevania DS trailer? Think about this. Being a vampire, Soma (the main character) can use telekinesis. There simply was no such way of emulating that effect with a console. But now you can. This is definitely an innovation in user experience, and I think the NintendoDS will survive.
And lemme tell you why. Try to walk around the street with a tube in front of each of your eyes. To see what's to your left, you have to rotate 90 degrees. And the motion gets you REAL DIZZY.
I also hate that to turn your head around to shoot the enemy (while you're running FORWARD) you have to wait a stupid number of seconds, that's completely unrealistic.
I wouldn't mind having extra-large monitors with some fish-eye distortion at the sides so you can *actually* emulate the human vision.
Until then, all 1st person shooters should include a BIG warning label saying "WARNING! This game causes motion sickness. Use with care".
"What ya guys here for?" asked a rather strong looking villain.
"I murdered ten people", said one, chewing a gum. "I raped a girl", said another. "I tried to steal a bank, and killed a hostage. That was my mistake." "And you?" (timid looking nerd guy) "I downloaded a movie with bittorrent..."
After trying and failing to implement numerous features in Longhorn, they decided to change the name to "Shorthorn", which ended up being nothing more than a cosmetic change around WinXP.
Slashdot Mirror
They responed "what's firefox"
You can say: "It's a 3rd party Internet Explorer. And virus-proof!"
Besides, do you really think the NASA/JPL guys are so dense as not have thought of such a thing?
Newsflash: NASA scientists aren't gods. Remember when they forgot to turn on the huygens switch? Huh? And what about the flipped-over gravity sensor? Oh, and don't forget about Apolo XIII, the Challenger...

They're not going to take the time to go through Radar and pull their changelists.

Hmmm... has potential
No, it doesn't run Linux. But it can have VIRUSES! :D
If you don't believe that Batman has REAL Ultimate Power
No, he doesn't...
but he's got *THOSE WONDERFUL TOYS!!!!!*
First schools don't disclose students' info to the RIAA, and now the spyware companies get sued.

What a glorious day
If I recall correctly, in the old times there wasn't a way to find out where a call came from.
The previous poster couldn't speak anymore. He was strangled by a mysterious force.
Maybe it was the worst, but having read the spoilers, now I *WANT* to watch the movie. And no, I hadn't seen Eps I and II (except clips on TV, etc).
Anakin becomes Darth Vader! (GASP)
Kinda a waste of jail space, I think.
Meanwhile, in a HK prison...

"What ya guys here for?" asked a rather strong looking villain.
"I murdered ten people", said one, chewing a gum.
"I raped a girl", said another.
"I tried to steal a bank, and killed a hostage. That was my mistake."
"And you?"
(timid looking nerd guy) "I downloaded a movie with bittorrent..."
(The criminals gasp in shock and fear)
This is just to scare the sheeps. Very common tactic.
And the intelligent ones will go underground, untraceable. Just as they've always done.
Xbox only WHY?
"Publisher: Microsoft"
Does that answer your question?

And here's Mike with the weather.
For those who didn't read the past article on quantum wires, here it is.
And for those who don't know what an armchair nanotube is, here are some images (The armchair nanotube is the one in the middle).
This looks so nice and so winxp-installer-like that it makes me want to switch right now :) (No, I don't have Linux installed in my machine)
Do people really "develop" in Excel?
Yes, they do. They start as newbies, then they begin to grow up...
Look, if it was the picture of a piece of dog sh** i wouldn't mind them censoring it.
Oh wait...
