Holy cow, what the hell did Gizmodo do to their site!? It went from something that loads fast to something that makes my poor browser want to cry while it tries to load the page.
I think the same thing about DI.fm. I listen to the free one, but they often have commercials for the high-quality streams. If I listened at home, I'd be more tempted to pay for it, but for now the cheap stream is nice.
I get that you don't like the plot. I won't argue that (even if I *did* enjoy it). Get over it. This is an article about the cool nerd-effects that some of the art team did, with high res screenshots that many of us won't see unless we pause a high-def movie on an HDTV, and even then might not notice.
- technically accurate computer use, a rarity in most films. - geometrically-shaped fireworks. Wow. I never even noticed the fireworks in the film, but there's something cool about that - talking about the various background-ish effects and how they were made (in not-enough-detail).
This was an awesome article, presented by someone who put a lot of effort into making software-generated effects that are very different (?) from the typical modeling of artificial humans or CGI spaceships. I found it tremendously interesting, and want to learn a lot more about it. It's petty of you to dismiss the article (and the work that the visual effects team did) simply because you think that the movie was "easy" to make.
I suspect it'll be easier to figure out how to change/treat the biological causes of baldness than to change humanity's social values of what's attractive or not.
How often is the timestamp off by enough to matter? Wouldn't that mess up network traffic that those machines stamp, and thus have been already fixed by the ISP?
I agree wholeheartedly. Ergonomics are key, and it's a very personal decision. I happen to rather like the way my Razer Copperhead feels -- I'd use one at work, if I had a spare. My boss has a mouse that, while clearly fancy (and he likes it), drives me up the wall. All the more reason to go try out replacement mice at the store before you buy one, if possible.
Let's say you retire at 65. How long do you hope to live? Till 75? 85?
350k / 10 years = 35 k/year 350k / 15 years = 23.3 k/year 350k / 20 years = 17.5 k/year
When we assume that social security is likely to be completely broken by the time we retire, our nest egg has to last us. 350k is still frighteningly small! Especially if you need to pay for medical treatment, or want to do more than sit in a small apartment and eat ramen.
And the Nook Color, as ThatsMyNick mentioned above, has only the LCD screen -- no e-ink. It's bad for battery life while reading, but great if you want to make it a tablet.
the GPL is less free than the BSD license because my liberty becomes limited when I want to distribute my changes in the application to others. With BSD, I'm given the liberty to license the software how I want and I'm given the liberty of not having to provide my source code to others.
As someone mentioned earlier, BSD is about the freedom of end users (of your code) to do whatever they want with it, whereas GPL is about keeping the code freely usable by anyone in the future, even customers of your users (such as by preventing patent encumberment). It's hard to say that one's "more free" than the other, because they address different angles on freedom.
Some programs like to maximize, and scale their layouts (crappily) based on the maximum physical size of the screen. This makes resizing the window to something other than effectively-maximized both annoying and visually unappealing, in some cases. Having a way to enforce a "maximize" that only maximized height, or within certain bounds (say, a full-screen presentation), perhaps via virtual monitors, would be handy in some situations.

Deputizing doesn't sound like it would work well versus a dedicated mob of abusive flaggers.

Cool gadget, though.

Would the ISPs even have kept the logs from seven years ago? That seems like a long time.
I believe it's because of the alignment of the metal substructures, and of having many layers, than the act of folding it itself, isn't it?
I'm not a lawyer, and don't know much about it, but I'd imagine that anyone in a situation like that is royally screwed.
Think of the Remembrance Day monuments you could build in Minecraft.
I would hate to be a Japanese mailman. I guess it fosters a sense of community, though...
Have you tried arranging it in a cube?
If ethical people don't decide to become lawyers, how will we ever have more ethical lawyers?

Perhaps he's not worried what a bunch of strangers on the internet will think of him.
You must have some incredibly satisfying bathroom trips.

Does that discard one of the roots?

Some people find right-drag-to-get-a-menu convenient rather than annoying. Individual users' preference varies, of course.

What if you unknowingly pay a contract killer (for something unrelated to the killing, such as doing your taxes or installing plumbing)?
Awesome, thanks.

I believe he means sitting on an inflatable exercise ball. They're supposed to be very good for you.
