You know what sucks about Naboo? The royalty is elected and serves a limited term (Amidala is no longer queen by Ep2). If your family line is not selected by God to rule forever, what's the point calling it royalty?
lol. I didn't mean the ACTUAL Leia, but I forgot that the princess is in the movie as a newborn.
Wait, what exactly was she a princess of again? Does that make Anakin king?
"This is what comes before the more substantial proof. Yeah, it's a step up from the press release. And? If you're not interested at what might be over the horizon, don't peek. What's so complicated about that?"
Um...yeah. You see, that's exactly my point (and this subject line you've chosen remains oh so apropos). The news title reads "DNF Physics Impress." And the link is to "a stunning demonstration of its latest physics technology." Sit sit back for one second and consider what a reasonable person would expect to see when they click through to that? No shit I wouldn't have peeked if I knew it was nothing more than what it turned out to be.
Right, and because some guy says it's fast, impressive, and going to be all over games for the next generation consols (sic), it's conclusively proven to be so?
Especially for this type of hyped-up claim, I'd really like the opportunity to judge, or at least see it for myself. If you say you're going to change the world, I'd prefer you bring some evidence to the table rather than have closed-door accounts spinning your PR for you.
The fabric stuff sounds just like the goal-net "physics" in every soccer game since 2000.
I don't have much confidence in DNF, but with HL2 and PPUs, "physics" seems to be the new buzzword in town.
Yeah, but West's site looks like it was put together by a two-year-old. If you have to pay up the nose per-search and per-print for nearly identical information, you might as well use up more of their bandwidth with UI niceties.
D&D I can do without. Diablo RPG? OK, similar subject matter, satan's in the title, fine.
But is it unChristian to futuristic role playing games like Warhammer? I know now that Magic is bad, but what about Pokemon?
Oh god. Please don't say WoW is off limits! I WOULD JUST HANG MYSELF.
The word is IBM is using the Lenovo connection to get into the China market. And from the whole WAPI thing, the Chinese government might just be anti-western-dominated-standards enough to support a POWER-powered desktop on the mainland.
Yeah, cause scientists are pretty sure that this is the last generation in which we'll have morons; so after another 50-60 years, you'll be scott free;)
I can't help but notice that the most gung-ho anti-aging advocates are those entering a phase of life where they become painful aware and fearful of their own mortality. Nothing wrong with that, but they never just come out and say it.
Doesn't a multisession CD take a few megabytes each time you add to it? Depending on the space the distro itself takes up, it could fill up relatively quickly...
And how many times can you boot/shutdown before you need to copy the distro + your latest config to a new disc, or before you just fill up the CD with pr0n?
Very good point. I think everyone here has done some kind of cursory url-predicting (isn't typing in "http://www.apple.com/g5powerbook/" how most leaks get out?), and it's usually a case of mea culpa for the company involved.
There is an ethical boundary somewhere, especially when it comes to real hacking. But I'm not convinced this crosses the line. IMO this is closer to calling the admissions office a month early and asking for your decision over the phone.
119 applicants? Or acceptees? With HBS's acceptance rates, there's a good chance that none (and it's almost certain that most) of these people were rejected anyways, so Harvard isn't actually changing any of its decisions, merely confirming what they already knew (albeit a month early).
Google doesn't need to stuff keywords for their own site - they could make their own Adwords page the only thing you ever see if you search for "traffic estimator."
And why should Google care about stuffing keywords for Yahoo or Microsoft's earch engines? They don't control what you do for other search engines, either (if Google knew that your site only keyword-stuffed for MSN and Yahoo crawlers, would they care? No, they'd probably high-five you for screwing with their competitors' relevancy). There's no hypocrtical behavior here.
OK, it rolls up and down like a scrollwheel, but all the benefits of "use either hand, both hands, all five limbs!" can be said for the touchpad as well (it all depends on the positioning of the buttons). Also, the "end detection" is exactly the same as "edge detection" on the synaptics touchpad, except this one has a tactile feel and mechanical moving parts to eventually go bad.

All heil the Jedi dynasty.

Well then, if we're going to have one of those Leia-in-a-bikini scenes in Ep3, PG-13 means we get to lose one piece of clothing, right?
What about the GI bill of rights? The military may not pay much, but if you survive, some of the perks are great.
So are EA employees going to have to clock in and out every day, and during their lunch hours?

Now there's an anime job description if I've ever seen one.
If that thing is the size of a poker chip, (smaller than the size of the clickwheel on the mini), then those must be some damned tiny earbuds...

This would be a litigation lightning rod for the plaintiff's bar in the US. Now where's that law school application?

That flash demo cut me to my very soul.
