The problem is, the simpler the application, the less it benefits from parallelization. So long as serial applications don't take a serious performance hit this is a good idea.
I was only thinking in terms of lab experiments, but yeah domestication can be seen as a sort of guided evolution. Chickens, among others, are so separated from their wild predecessors that they wouldn't do very well in the wild. Bananas, cows, etc.... the list goes on.
This is exactly what I thought. In theory it allows science teachers to teach science freely but, of course, it will be used by many science teachers to proselytize schoolchildren. I'm glad when I was in school evolution was taught as science and not preached. ID deserves nothing past a mention in a SCIENCE classroom, not because it is harmful or silly, just because it is not SCIENCE. Secondly, as a practicing Baptist in Georgia, I have been able to reconcile my faith with evolution (and the Big Bang for that matter.) I honestly hate how some people (a loud minority in my experience) feel the need to invent conflict.
Stiffer soles make for better power transfer, it's an efficiency thing. Then again your idea WOULD be super light and some people get a serious hard on for super low stack height.
As a cyclist and a nerd, I ogle at shoes with heat moldable carbon fiber soles, etc, which would be a cool idea for this. I'd love to see a CF mouse - just not the pricetag. Also the logistics of popping a mouse in an oven might pose a slight problem...
Best feature of this mouse appears to be the cord. I love all the razer mice I've used but with friends we've lost at least 3 to frayed cords. There's probably another issue there but honestly that detail really pleases me. As for the mouse as a whole... I'll have to try it to pass judgment, until then it looks absolutely ridiculous.
Yeah, maybe it'll eventually become decent software!
Not a troll: I use OOo when I'm on windows, but it's really subpar, especially on performance. It has some neat features, and it's more than enough for casual home/school use, but it really needs some work done.
Yes, actually, it does.
When dealing with religion in terms of how ridiculous they are, it is impossible and illogical to be entirely objective in your analysis, and it just so happens that, at least by the standards of a great majority of people, scientology is far more outlandish than Abrahamic religions for many reasons.
I don't think it's surprising that China or anyone else is spying on the US or vive versa, what is surprising, or at least alarming is that they succeeded. It's like exposing a new severe security bug in Windows, because nobody's surprised but everyone's worried.
As a hardcore Mowwowind and ES nerd in general, I have to say I was sorely dissapointed by Oblivion. The level scaling made it so that, no matter how hard you worked, there was always something more powerful, and yet at level one you can beat the arena and kill most everything you encounter. Also, I hated that when a player would encounter bandits at higher levels, thay would be wearing full sets of daedric or mithril armor. Morrowind made it so that, while it was hard at lower levels and took time to progress, eventually you could become absolutely badass. Unfortunately, this is generally not possible in Oblivion.
I call BS. Only liars, pagans, and the mentally unsound use the x one-thousand method. EVERYOBE who knows ANYTHING uses the x mississippi method. thank you and good night.
Also, with this extension Verisign retains control of the.com TLD until the end of the known world, which has been known since pre-columbus times to be 2012. They, in my opinion, are hoarding posessions and money on Earth in hopes that they will remain wealthy and powerful in the afterlife. If this deal is not struck down Verisign's wealth will ensure that they have significant control over the afterlife. Ladies and Gentlemen (mostly gentlemen, seeing as this is/. , if they truly can be called gentle is an irrelevant matter at this moment of crisis) this is a call to action to strike down the evil, manipulating corporate dollar. If you think the strikebreakers and robber barons of the turn of the century were bad, imagine what could happen if you vote Republican this fall. Your very afterlife could be in danger.
BTW, I really do agree with parent, monopolies are bad. I just had to capitalize on the typical slashdotter's corporation-hating mentality.
My home state of Georgia does this, however limited. For Georgia resident students attending an instate public college, tuition is funded 100% by the state lottery (A brilliant optional tax, you choose to be conned out of your money!) so long as they had a 3.0+ GPA in high school and maintain a 3.0 in college. I think that if this was extended to include all accredited colleges and universitites nationwide it would be the best solution to the problems of tuition for students.
You're not off your rocker. iTunes is nice, and i think it's the best software out there, and the online store is a nice option. However I enjoy having DRM-Free, physical media.
I just have to rip it to my computer once and I get a free unencumbered file, and i till have physical media I can play in my car. Even though it costs more, I wouldn.t change. Freedom is worth the extra $5 bucks per album at the cash register, and the ability to rip to lossless files, or any type for that matter, doesn't hurt/

Ray? Is that you?
Folding@Phone. What could be more obvious??? It would also offer an incentive to manufacturers to provide longer lasting batteries!

WHY, pray tell, does there have to be a conflict? And, by the way, evolution of simple organisms is observable and repeatable.

Well, not all of us are into that sort of stuff, it's a little kinky. Also, it's not extremely high tech, however innovative it may be.
Hey, Guess what's cooler ...
program MyProg;
uses
CRT;
begin
Writeln('Hello World!');
end.
...Doesn't duck because he knows that any real pascal programmer could beat any C++ pussy down
P.S. - C++ isn't too bad, but Pascal is way cooler.
It is most probable that, as we are on slashdot, the article is a dupe, a 'digital deja vu' if you will.

ok i guess this goes for everyone, but WHOOOOSH!!!!!!
