Obviously they don't design for usability (adjusts your browser window to full screen). Just another design firm that wows the stupid management and produces an inferior product.
5 minutes on the internet and you'd see that if they could make it rack mountable, easy to stack half their work would be done for them. None of this hippie nonesense about breathing in energy. Give me a damn break.

Sorry been dealing with too many inept artists lately while trying to produce a functional product for the user.
I think people had the same reaction to such animated movies as Polar Express. The animation was very close to looking real, but there is always something lacking in the models.
I've heard multiple people complain/mention this, best way I've heard it described is that they seemed like zombies.
I guess there is something in the mind that no matter how realistic something looks the fact that you know there isn't a heart inside the thing invokes something of a disgust. Making it harder to form attachments to the character and ruiing the story.
It should be an interesting study for some post-grad.
Oh, and I am sure there are plenty of geeks with a crush on Alex regardless.

Eclipse 3.1 Released

mmmmm darcs. Needs better subversion and IIRC the PHP plugin doesn't work with 3.1. At least it didn't up till last week.
Well what I believe could happen now with this ruling is that:
A) A state allows private land to be taken for private use under the "it's for the public good" excuse
B) Owners of private land take it to court saying that the "it's for the public good" does not stand up.
C) Ruling based on merits of case
In that scenario, yes private land owners could lose. However, it gives the states the freedom to choose. This Court ruling does not automatically mean that a state can take any land.
Rule by the mob is a scary thing, but if a private citizen's property were being taken by the state to make way for a park, who's to say that the term "public good" covers a park? It's a very vague definition.
Right, and the vote as I understand it is to allow it to go to a state judge for them to decide if the taking of land was in the public's good. Allowing for more freedom in all decsions.
Unless you are of the notion that judges can be bought.
I think I mislead with my first post. I wanted to point out that the decsion, which supports States' rights is typically a Conservative tune. However in this case it was flipflopped.
I believe the judges voting for it, in saying that a local judge would know what was best for the local public good.
They have faith in their fellow judges to decide on a case by case basis what is best.
To me O'Conner's desent is more activist than anything. To say that the gov't is under the power of those with more resources basically says that the gov't is messed up. If they had blocked this, that would mean a blighted neighborhood could never be removed by the government unless it was to make way for a park. (exaggeration)
I'm off course here, anyway I just wanted to point out I didn't mean to say it was the more Conservative judges that voted for the measure, just that those who did sounded a lot more like a Conservative than not.
Thank you for seeing through the knee-jerk reaction. Basically they said what the Conservatives would normally say, the states have the power. Rather than limit the rights of the states this ruling gives them more power. What they do with it is not for the federal government to decide.
Want your state to make laws to prevent this? Show up and vote.
Haven't seen it yet, but did he say that as Bruce Wayne? If so then it would fit rather well, Bruce Wayne was meant to just Wayne Corp's pretty faced playboy. If he acted smart it wouldn't be in character.
This card costs $999 with 512MB DDR3, someone tell me how much the Xbox 360 comes with?
See where I'm going with this? Just how big of a loss are Sony and MS willing to take with their consoles this time around? I mean either way the consumer wins out big.
Even by the time winter rolls around you're not going to see this card or it's 256MB version for $50.
I think we're all dreaming that the price of classics will be less than $20/each. They didn't exactly give away the remakes they released for the GBA, granted they needed a cart so that increases the cost.
But $5/game sounds way too cheap in an office room I think.
Nice idea, but I'm sure you realize it's not that simple. Servers can run high speed harddrives, use ECC RAM, etc etc, laptops are currently not able to sustain 24/7 usage with a acceptable failure rate.
Those are scary specs, but just how much of a loss is MS willing to take on this thing??
The ATI chip & that CPU even in a few months time would run hundreds and hundreds each. This thing is a powerhouse of a computer. If they can sell them cheap enough as a console why not sell them as clusterable workstations?
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah, Plone....
::)
While you're probably right, I've met people who have ended up in the loney bin after using/learning it
Not quite sure which path I am going to go down currently.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I would but since I'm looking to run a large site with a lot of users I think I'll hold off since this is the headline story on mamboportal.com
"Userdatabase cleared - Mambo unable to handle it"
Seems to crap out at 100,000 users or so.
Heh,
::)
Golf clap for a web developer nerd joke.
Bravo, bravo

We heard your collective screams and offer our prayers. I can only imagine in my nightmares if we lost our internets.

The dissenters were the ones who are generally the most conservative.

That is really funny, and I quickly looked back up to see what I had actually written and saw 'blank' as well.

I will be more clear next time

What pages were they trying to view? Even most bank pages I have visited render just fine in Firefox.
Are you sure the font size wasn't just different, throwing them into a state of confusion?
I am typing this on a http://datahand.com/ if you're not melded with your keyboard you are not worthy!
And yes it really helps with finger stress/fatigue, whatever you want to call it.
I just have to deal with being refered to as Edward Keyboardhands, or Keyboardstein by the co-workers.
Still a lil slower than traditional but it's worth not killing my hands.
(I bought mine on ebay but have talked to datahand reps a number of times, they're all very helpful)
What I meant was to have one hosted, crazykernel.com and open up CVS write access to anonymous. :)
I might have my facts wrong but having a dictator can sometimes get useful things done when a voting board cannot. (Xfree)
And then even with a board people bitch about them too.
So how bout we just have a source tree where everyone and anyone can write to the tree and see where it takes us?
Actually that could be fun. Make it so.

I know they take a loss on the Xbox's, but when the first one came out it was using a CPU and GPU that lagged behind what a desktop PC had.
This thing is beyond any desktop PC, I'm just curious how much of a loss they take on this box.
Those are scary specs, but just how much of a loss is MS willing to take on this thing??

Yeah those specs are freaking amazing, but uh, it's a console right? How much are they debuting this at? $900?
Have you used the Gamecube wireless controller? Or one of the logitech ones? Battery life is hardly a problem.
