Point taken, but the purpose of flash is, well, flash; to grab ones attention. This is a step up from previous versions of flashiness like ASCII pics or banner adds or whatever was before it.
Where as with the current gen of word processors aren't any better than the one before it, the grammer checker is abismal (still!) and the 'features' that are designed to help me tend more often to annoy me or be straight out wrong and counterproductive.
It is hard to dissipate heat in space. Even if the few atoms that hit your cpu are of very low temperatures, there aren't enough of them to keep it cool enough to run.
No, they probably made ten times that from the price fixing, so the cost of doing the price fixing is still less than the benifits, so it was still worth it. Corporations don't have morals, they have cost/benifit analysis depts.
Reminds me of a Dibert, the boss found porn on that bald guys computer and the bald guy pointed out that before the boss clicked on it it was just 1's and 0's, so the boss is the one who made it into porn. Good stuff, that Dibert.
I site using flash gives (sometimes) more value, and the processor is there to use, where as a bloody word processor that drags my compy down to die pumps out the same end result in about the same time as another one that takes a fraction of the processing power. You can't compare a flash site and a word processor in that manner.
I don't have a choice, I must see it to either enjoy it or to hack it to pieces in person with my friends. Not watching it is not an option, no matter how bad it is.
The google map isn't detailed enough, but Vegreville Alberta has a giant Easter Egg statue. If you can find a detailed enough satellite pic of Vegreville, you will see a huge black, yellow, and other coloured Easter Egg there.
Wouldn't it be illegal if they sold the same product for 2 drastically different prices in different places? I think they are just making this crapo version so they can say that the pirates have another option w/o violating the 2 prices for same product thing and then launch a big legal raping campaign against pirates in Brazil.
yeah, I got ambitious one summer and convinced my mother to buy a decent set of rechargables. I kept track of them and made sure they were in the devices we use often and kept them charged. We saved a decent amount of money over a year and still have the batteries in good working condition. They save you money but it takes dedication and a memory.
If W tells me that the US is the only real place in the world, then the US is the only place in the world! Don't try and change my narrow world view!
(Oh, and Canada is on there too)
Ehh, no. I could zoom in far enough to see my car in a Canadian city and enough that my tiny home town was 4 inches by 2. I know stuff like this has been done before, but this was done quite nicely in my opinion. Could use a feature that will tell you the age of the picture and resolution of area without having to zoom in and find out yourself.
Would have been funny if he really heard a guy on the radio say that in 1983 though. It'd be great if later he said, "Just kidding guys, a real Shuttle crash would be horrifying and I'm sure it will never happen."
have you looked at your backyard in black and white with strange men bouncing around in it dressed in crazy suits planting a flag with a green screen behind them? If so, no wonder you post as an AC.

More like, "It Works, Just" as in if it were an iota worse we would all throw up our hands and clamor to Apple.

Yeah, but it makes a rocket car look like an albatros when you compare top speeds.

yes, indeed I do. :)
Interesting stuff there, see you for math tomorrow?
Well, an undesirable talent that should get you shot on site for exhibiting, but we do live in the time of the bureaucracy...

No, but I'd hire 50 'Walkanauts' to do it for me while I tape it.
