When the tests of the flight sequence finally started, the flight control system reportedly was not able to score a single clean run of its entire flight program without experiencing some sort of problems.
So onboard computer which controls the flight basically did not pass any pre-flight test. "Let's try, if it fails also in real, not only during testing..."
This was actually basis for one of the questions asked in the interview with him which took place recently on goodreads (I pasted link to the video few posts above).
I believe the question is asked somewhere between 0h:50m and 0h:51m
If pirates are more important to the company than customers, players should think twice about buying their games.
In the end it's all cat & dog and we all know how it's gonna end. DRM cracked within weeks and paying customers left unplayable when disconnected while pirates will play happily offline.
Been using opera for good 5 years, but realized, even though it's tab & download management is much superior to other browsers, chrome (and/or firefox) are just easier to get on with, because they are essentially open. If competition can be open, why can't we?
You're mentioning Diablo 1 & 2, but those are not adventures by far.
If you are asking for good adventures, the answer is Broken Sword 1 & 2, The Longest Journey, Siberia, Gabriel Knight 3, Lost Horizon,... these games are not necessarily new, but they are fun to play and Broken Sword especially is a game that one generation has grown up on.
If you are asking for RPG (Diablo-like games), then the answer is Fallout 1, 2, 3, Tactics; Albion (old), Final Fantasy VII, Oblivion, Baldur's Gate 2, and there are hundreds of other good RPG's - they vary in genre, so you can pick one your children prefer - fantasy, scifi, futur noir,...
anyway, most of the RPG's are single player and include violence in more or less brutal way. If you like your children to play some good, multiplayer, non-violent game, maybe you could go for MMORPG's like Eve Online, where you don't get to (1) fights with other pilots (2) person-to-person fights; if you don't want to... You can actually play peaceful career and it's still a lot of fun.
The description has been updated, so you can find it in the link. But just to make life easier:
Equipment: Canon 5D Mk II (for all video and time-lapse imagery);
Canon 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye (for wide-field shots);
Canon 75-300mm f/4-5.6 (for animal scenes and zoom shots);
Canon TC80N3 Timer Remote Control... and a cheap broken tripod:-(
Software: Quicktime Pro (to generate video from stills); iMovie to edit and compile movie.
for those tl;dr:
most of the users report that after uninstalling istat menu pro (and it's "fan control" set to on by default) the problem goes away...
have you heard of associative processing/memory? That's CS concept with PoC that we can construct machines like human brain, but again, they could analyze face in fraction of second, but multiplying is gonna take some time...
an apple lover, but I believe there is a reason other than money, why appstore exists.
It's because it offers people prevention exactly from cases like this one.... and makes the platform "well bred".
I created this blog to document the steps I'm taking in making an iPhone DSLR. The honest truth is, I really dont know anything about DSLRs aside from the fact that you press the button and it snaps the picture. So whether the feat is actually possible or not, I'm in to to find out.
Few months ago I read Donald Knuth's open letter to publisher on the exact same topic - increase in price.
The letter is dated 2003, but I believe is it as actual today as it was back then.
have to gain for telling all the stuff to Lamo?
He was actually asking for getting arrested when talking to unknown guy and telling him all the illegal stuff he did, but more importantly, the stuff he wanted to do.
I feel very sorry for his naivity, but I still respect him for having courage to do what he did.

This rumor is not true.
Please see official answer to this from NASA:

Even though I'm not a big fan of cutting the NASA budget, here is some (reasonable) reading about why is it good:

For fans of Neal, there was recently interview on goodreads with him (however, interviewer was, nicely said, boring):

just to clear it up:
Normally 2K means 2048 x 1080 pixels.
However, the article assumes that 45K means 45000 pixels, which should be written as 0.045 MP (megapixel).
iStat menu (most probably).

Few months ago I read Donald Knuth's open letter to publisher on the exact same topic - increase in price.

the link to this comprehensive letter is:

if you find it tl;dr, I can only suggest to read at least first 2 pages to get the insight on what he wanted to share with other people...
the mention slides to be found here:
http://www.slideshare.net/xzilla/intro-to-postgres-9-tutorial
It took me a while to realize it was not either of 2 mentioned presentations...
Do you think he needed that kind of appreciation that much that he would've risked jail just to get it?

Wish there could be some help to him...
