I agree, Blender's UI could use a lot of work. gmax/3ds max have a much better UI. I've spent lots of time under both Blender and gmax, and Blender's UI makes it very hard to do anything well and quickly. Since then, I've kept Blender off of my computer...
Actually, as students in the U.S., we're all taught the metric system at a very early age.:-/... so it's not like we know nothing about the metric system, as some try to point out. We also always use the metric system in science-related classes; we tend to not use the imperial system.

So no, this is not a problem unique to the United States. Yes, the U.S. may be the worst of the lot, and yes, a lot of this foolishness has arisen primarily because of corrupt greedy U.S. organizations who don't give a flip about consumers there or anywhere else, but if you believe nothing else, believe this: This idiocy will reach you in your supposedly safe and comfortable home country unless you are vigilant and active about stopping it.
You're right about that-- it's the U.S. industries at fault. If we can stop them (from pushing our government to doing their bidding as well), the U.S. as a whole wouldn't be to blame. I'm a US citizen and I don't like the RIAA and MPAA at all either. There really aren't that many of us here that want the RIAA and MPAA too.
The Onion is a newspaper of parody and satire, published weekly in print and on the Internet. As of May 2005, its print editions are distributed in Madison, Milwaukee, New York City, Chicago, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Denver/Boulder, and San Francisco.
Only a double standard for those who give that as an excuse for not switching. Believe it or not, it's not like everybody should switch... people should stick with whichever platform offers them what they need. There are other reasons for not switching as well... such as games, programs already owned and its respective data, and compatibility with other computers in the home. Lots of people don't have the time, knowledge, and/or energy to switch. If you want people to switch to Linux, you'd need to tell them why Linux is all it's hyped up to be by the pro-Linux Slashdot community here, how it's better for them than whatever OS they're using, and make the switch easy and painless for them. You'd also need to give them the assurance they won't lose any data and that they'd have their programs (good luck on finding good clones of some programs, like TurboTax) and the data associated up and running.
Actually, daylight savings team would indeed change the 7AM-5:30PM of sunlight to 8-6:30... it moves the hours ahead. So, in your example, DST would be ideal.
The portability may be atrocious, but this would be overshadowed by the fact that you could raise the battery life from 6 minutes to a whopping 1 minute!!!
Wait a minute, you said car battery, not AAA battery...
The iPod Nano was unique, one of the reasons of which was that it was flash memory-based, correct? Then wouldn't hacking it to use a hard-drive be counter-intuitive, and a step in the wrong direction? Though it may have its uses, it's just a step back from solid-state media.
Yet, it may actually inspire people and open up their eyes to see that the RIAA is really just looking for settlement fees (that'd they'd receive) and striking FUD into everyone... People would then realize "oh hey, the RIAA is just making claims against a random bunch of people based on guesses".
'To have only one price point is not fair to our artists, and I dare say not appropriate to consumers.'
What's not fair to the artists is that if they're part of the RIAA, they don't make as much money because the RIAA hounds the profits. What's not appropriate for us, the consumers, is for the prices to be raised from the reasonable $0.99 price tag. Who is Bronfman, Jr. to speak for the consumers and artists?
Deja vu anyone? I've always thought that this "bug" and its corresponding "patch" has been out for a while... I know for sure that when I heard about this a while ago, I disabled IDN...
Believe it or not, many other CMSs do the exact same thing. Page restriction based on login status is a common feature among various CMSs, and coded easily enough.
If we simply are 100% as perfectly careful as possible, fearing to tread anywhere but our exact previous footsteps, taking forever to inspect and re-inspect, we will never learn how to do it differently.
Exactly. Back then, people knew the risks, but did the best they could without being overly cautious, and look at the results! They made a couple of high achievements... We're stopping ourselves from proceeding on.

Well, if history is going to repeat itself (which I'm pretty sure will), Weblogs, Inc. will die.

As stated above your post, the method of detecting the gene(s) is the thing being patented, not the gene itself.

This has been proven especially with the "Starbucks" factor.
That MSPower Toy never worked on my computer. I use Virtual Dimension, and IMHO, it's better than VirtuaWin.

160 km/h is roughly approximate to 99.419 mph. Very impressive IMHO, considering it's a solar-powered car.

I'll elaborate. Remember this?

Hasn't Adaptive Cruise Control been out for a while? Look at the Jaguar model (I don't remember exactly which one), Cadillac XLR, etc.
In fact, I know that for a fact, because someone in my family worked on it.
Perhaps the technology behind Google's legendary PigeonRank is responsible for this "randomization". :-D
