I would actually pay to be able to use the old gmail web app.
I'd pay even more to stop them freaking the fuck out every time I log in from a new device. It's webmail, the whole point is that I can check it on any device! Don't send a damn verification to my phone, if I had it with me I would use it instead you damn fools
You cannot just rewrite fundamental physics to fix one issue without also looking at the implications of your theory
I think people get a little too upset when discussing how it could potentially work. If it seems to work on Earth but we're not convinced it would work in space, no need to debate the theory until you're blue in the face: just build a small one, send it to space, turn the power on and see if it moves.
If it works, we don't need to know how, we can start using it.
Look, obviously the young punks willing to work for cheap and able to write are finding better-paying jobs. So many employers are puzzled that they can never find a decent employee for less than it costs to hire and keep a decent employee. It's not rocket science : if nobody with half a brain wants the job you offer, then you're not paying enough.
That was an awesome jump and all, but he about a third of the way to space. He jumped from the sky, this would allow one to jump from space. Different.
It is a misconception that we live (much) longer, people think that because they hear of a life expectancy of 40 years or something like that, but that's the life expectancy _at birth_ . If you lived to be twenty, you could reasonably hope to live to be seventy. What we have now is less infant mortality, not longer lives.
He has a point. My computer is a bit old, and while can still watch any flash video smoothly, html5 video is unwatchable, even at the lowest possible resolution. I'm not on one side or the other in the debate, it's just a fact that I don't own a computer that can play html5 video, but I have several that can play flash video just fine.
I've never heard of you. I would never ever read any of your work. Except if I could find some of it for free on TPB... That's just me of course, but I don't think I'm particularly atypical.
Also, even if piracy really did hurt artists, big fucking deal. I love art but it should be produced for its own sake dammit, what makes you think you can profit for years, decades even, from a few hours or days of "work" during which you did exactly what you wanted to?
What, that book you spent five months writing a quarter of a century ago isn't bringing you money anymore? Boo-fucking-hoo.
Surely you could get a used 48 off eBay or something though? I can't imagine using the 50, the keyboards were once one of the things that made hp calculators great
Uh, what? I've had a look, and there is indeed a video and an image composed of four stills. Both depict an ejaculation adequately. The two gentlemen in the pictures are average. They would be considered small by porn standards. The amount of semen is average too. No stimulation of the genitals is shown.
If you want to illustrate an encyclopedic article about ejaculation with something better than a drawing, this is as modest and "decent" as it can possibly be. It may technically be porn, but it is very clearly meant to inform, not to arouse.
Unfortunately those excellent points are of little use in an argument because most religions are only loosely based on their holy book (despite their claims to the contrary), what matters is the dogma - the officially sanctioned interpretation of the "divine" word. When people say "the book says so", what they really mean is "the dude in the temple says so".
Having toyed with the demo, I think the idea is that at first you need to sort of visualize the letters as you type, but you quickly develop muscle memory for that because there are only four keys and the mnemonic is easy and visual. It's not something like Dvorak where you would have a steep learning curve before payoff... But I'd sure be interested to know how non-dictionary words are handled - this is where those alternative keyboards usually fail.
Yeah, none of the videos I could find actually explain how it works. They just keep repeating it's awesome and show people fiddling fuzzily with their screens.
Indeed it's probably a configuration issue. My now antique dell latitude d600 boots xp sp3 in 30 seconds. Firefox is up and running in 45 seconds, and that machine is quite old.

Good god, it looks exactly like the Digg redesign that finally chased the last users away. Goodbye slashdot, all good things must come to an end :-(
If it's stability you're after, the Italians now make many different scooters with three wheels.
Thanks very much. That was a spectacularly badly written summary even by slashdot's absence of standards.

So, become a sperm donor. No investment, and you can even make a few bucks.

That's Numberwang!
Meh. SpaceX (or another private company) will have people on Mars long before NASA has the vehicles to do it for ten times the price.

When you're desperate for cash anyway, Sir!

You could have at least tried Ctrl-C (which you should know from DOS) before rebooting :-)
There are surely plenty of people willing to take the chance and go _now_, regardless of those comparatively small risks.
Plus there's good science to be done, and it could lead to new insights for space exploration too.

There is a nice add-on I used before switching back to 3.6, it works well. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/
