Hmm. My understanding/guess back when I first heard about it was that Time Machine was going to use the snapshotting feature of ZFS. Other Linux filesystems do have this feature. It's new and cool, but it's not ultra-new or ultra-high-tech. And yes, version control has been doing something similar for a long time.
It doesn't work on "Linux", or even on "Windows". It works on subsets of those. And no, "working" does not make something a cross-platform standard. That's the whole point of all the work done by the W3C on HTML etc. Better luck next time.
If they really want a cross-platform solution that doesn't rely on the goodwill of browser makers to support the standards, they ought to simply implement the site using Flash
You sir, are an idiot. Flash is the antithesis of cross-platform solutions.
It's simply about buying mainstream stuff, instead of ultra-high-end stuff. Those high-end buyers PAY for the technology to be developed for all the mainstream users. But, games aren't made for a few people with high-end cards; they're made to play pretty damn well on what most people who bought any decent card/machine recently will have.
For 99.9% of people, buying very high-end stuff is a lot like buying a ferrari. Sure, it looks nice, but what practical use are you going to find for it?
Yes, it seems fairly obvious that a creature might have adapted its evolutionary mutations to mutate things aren't quite proven yet, and to not mess with things that are "backbones" (literally or figuratively) of the design.
The question for me is... WHERE is that information stored? In another part of the DNA? If so, it becomes metaprogramming. Somewhere else? If so, there's a new type of DNA (unless RNA etc. qualify as that; I'm no geneticist, admittedly).
It's possible they meant that, but it's still not being honest, not being helpful to society as a whole, and not having the courage of their convictions. If everyone has to find loopholes because people can't come together and right a wrong, then everyone will eventually lose, as the loopholes are plugged... or removed, or whatever you do with loopholes;)
Yes, but that amount of testosterone would be BAD. Anyway, someone else has pointed out that it's to do with mitochondria, so I guess it's not important:)
More and more organizations and people are starting to come around to the realization that the *AA's bullying is just that, basically the schoolyard thug taking the little guy's lunch money (and unfortunately here, much more) on a larger scale.
Agreed. However, when someone says, "We would like to help you bully people, but we just don't have the information you want." they're hardly taking a stand.
For anyone who thinks that's a joke... just wait. These things are going to change the world once they become usable. Instead of waiting for amazon to ship stuff, you'll be buying patterns and printing them out. Many more people will probably be downloading patterns for all sorts of patented stuff, from the likes of piratebay. You think the recording industry has issues? Wait 'till the car parts industry, the wooly sweater industry, and yes, the kids toy industry all get on board. We already know Disney doesn't like losing profits.
Actually, they're not. Yes, I tried. I used the new shop which is supposed to provide an even easier way to get components. Package arrived, and I realised later there were LOTS of parts missing, although I ordered everything I obviously needed on first read. Seeing the ACTUAL list of parts was a shock. It goes on forever. I gave up. RepRap is a LONG way from being usable by the average joe, and the RepRap team will probably tell you as much.
Well actually, they could offer downloads of asymmetrically encrypted vids, and offer some simple decoder apps, for anyone who has registered with them, proven their a feepayer, and gotten a keypair.

Or a car that won't let you leave your neighbourhood when homeland security/fema starts screwing it up.
Of course. I had a feeling I'd got the name wrong after posting that :)

MacIntels don't use OpenBIOS, do they?
You left out "/stolen"
"Online research" patent claimed by FBI and RIAA.

Nope. That's called replacing a few parts in your PC (at most) after totalling your PS3.
Where did you get "oxy" from?
Of course. Don't you realise how many extra minutes that'll rack up?

More like the family dog. Windows would be... oh, wait, can't say that word.
(Sorry parent poster; I don't mean to be rude, but...)
this is really calling out for a "no shit, Sherlock!"

Except noticing his limitations
More aggressive? Sounds like what this actually does is produce testosterone or something equivalent, not better muscles/hearts directly.

It takes a thief to catch a thief.
i.e., Steve.
i.e., said Nigerian corrupt officials.
