I'm not defending it, I was just asking if I condensed the point of the project correctly.
As for writing JS to make GTK+ code... if you've ever coded a GUI by hand, you know it's a pain. I realize that tools like Visual Studio, Eclipse, et al are supposed to take care of this, but some people like to code GUIs from the CLI for some perverted reason. I only had to for a class, and I never want to do so again.
That said, if I understand the point of the project correctly, I think it's hugely pointless.
The comments system is HTML-based, so unless you have "plain text" set for your comments, any matching set of angle brackets are going to get interpreted as HTML.
if you say, send yourself back in time, what happens to that volume of space where you arrive?
Objects coming into the new time would appear to "grow" very quickly. If that volume contained air, then there would be a large gust of wind. It would be like a splash in a lake when you do a cannonball. Same with the old time: there would be a large "inward" gust of wind as the object shrunk very quickly.
Shameless plug: I wrote an open-source program to convert from FLAC to Ogg Vorbis or MP3. In my case, the motivating factor was that I could put Oggs on my Rockbox'd Sansa, and my work laptop. http://sourceforge.net/projects/flacsquisher
This layout was designed to be better than either QWERTY or Dvorak, and maintain most common keyboard shortcuts. It's also designed to be easy to switch back and forth between it and QWERTY.
I've only used it for a total of 2 hours before giving up, since I have a non-standard typing style (self-taught), and the rigid "home row" style doesn't fit me.
Well, I haven't tried pirating music over BitTorrent in over a year, and I don't do it that often, so I don't belong to any private sites that specialize in music.
The main source of music for me where my complaints above happened was my undergrad school's Direct Connect hub. It seemed like unless I got my music from one or two users who had a reputation for encoding their music well, I was going to get crap. I was the first person on the hub to start sharing FLACs, as well. I have tried other sources where I got similar results, but I'm glad to hear that these problems have been fixed in recent years.
I say you should move to New Hampshire in that case, so you can counteract the influx of former Massachusetts residents who want to make their new state just like their old one.
The other side of that statistic is also that it seems like most pirated music is either of poor encoding quality, or mislabeled, or otherwise bad (besides the obvious joke of all modern music being bad, even in studio-quality).
Try to find a song, download it, find out it's mislabeled, download it again, it's a 22kHz MP3, download it again, it's at 96kbps, download it again, the audio is choppy...
Controversy and the games industry go hand-in hand like Ico and Yorda, if you'll forgive the incredibly nerdy analogy. And like Yorda, the controversy tends to stay focused for an average of about eight nanoseconds before getting bored and drifting off to do something else. But when it does get focused it can get very exasperating, such as when youthful paragons of self-control are called nasty names and decide that murder would be the wittiest comeback, and then is found to have stood next to a videogame sometime in the past. Then the media generally start drooling the usual uninformed questions as to whether wholesome, boyish pretend violence has any correlation with the real world. Short answer: No. Long answer: No, and go fuck yourselves, you ignorant, scaremongering cockbags. [Text in review: No, and I consider your argument misinformed.]
I did that at my local Mervyns. It was great, cause I'd just moved in to a new apartment when they started going out of business, so anything we needed for our apartment (area carpet, kitchen gear, bathroom accessories) was available there for ridiculous prices. Plus I got a whole mess of new clothing. I even considered buying a suit there, cause I could've had one for about $120 total. I don't wear suits often enough though, and I couldn't justify the purchase.
If CC liquidates, I may not be able to get a 1080p TV for $200, but maybe I could get an HDMI cable for $7? That's less than Newegg, even if I get free shipping.
They didn't mention speeds at all in the article, but on at least one occasion when he used the word "cable", he meant fiber-optics:
If it works out as Pederson plans, his project would replace the need for fiber optic wires that run underground and in buildings. The cost savings alone in construction and wiring make it impressive, St. Cloud Mayor Dave Kleis said.
âoeRight now, we are going through a tremendous amount of fiber optics. If this can move and transmit with light rather than cable, there is significant savings in that alone,â Kleis said.
Now, given that they're essentially the same technology, I can't see how this would be faster than fiber. But if by "cable" when talking about speeds, he does mean DOCSIS, then that's easy. 10 Gigabit ethernet is already more than 20 times faster than EuroDOCSIS 3.0, 8-channel, and most varieties of 10GbE run over fiber.
Check out New Hampshire. There's some left-leaning people on the west side of the state, and some right-leaning people on the east side, but the whole state has a very libertarian attitude regardless of individual leanings, and there are a bunch of tech-related companies throughout the state.
I just moved to California cause I was hired here, and while the weather is nice, I do miss the sensibility that I've enjoyed in New Hampshire. The only problem with it is that Massachusetts politics are starting to creep in like an infection.
Personally, I set Windows updates to "notify only". Then I do a Custom Install, and uncheck all WGA updates. I have a valid copy, but I don't feel like running those.
I think both of these accomplishments are very important. They may not be practical, but they push the boundaries, and they help progress our society. I certainly don't expect our society to progress after seeing the newest version of the Hyundai Accent, or even the Mustang, do you?
Forty years ago, supercars like the Ford GT40 and Ferrari Daytona had around 350 horsepower. Now you can buy that much horsepower for under $30,000 new. Maybe forty years from now we'll be able to get 1000 horsepower in normal road cars!

One of the lines in the book "Learning Perl":
"Yes, Perl has objects; it's buzzword compatible with all of those other languages."
I don't want a web programmer coding my GUI apps. I wouldn't be able to get Firefox to render correctly in Gnome unless I ran it inside IE!

Fortunately, Vista decoupled the act of updating the core of your OS from a web browser. With XP... yeah, I guess.
Edit: Remove "this is basically"
Stupid lack of an "Edit" button... talk about user interfaces!
So, this is basically Seed uses Javascript to make GTK+ code easily, so you can move on to make the heart of the program faster?

They're just trying to make the world a stranger place, that's all.
They're working on fixing that.
What do you mean by b)?
If you mean you want to use your USB headset mic for input, and your speakers for output, you can do that in Windows' audio settings.

Most PDAs at the time (like when Palm was in its big heyday) supported IrDA too.

For me, 9/11 was the big one.
Starting at about 10:00AM, every class I was in had either the TV or the radio on, and we did no real work that day. Except band, of course.
You're using KDE4, which last I heard was still in beta. Couldn't you reasonably compare that to running Windows 7 on a production system right now?
