as for using large libraries, if you don't need the functionality why use it? and if you do do you really think you can implement it in a more efficient manner quickly?
The greens are good in a fair number of aspects, but if you love the outdoors and camping/fishing/hunting I'd suggest going for another party, if they have their way there will be no fun out in australia's natural areas, because humans being there disturbs them...
the ps1 controller was essentially a snes controller with extra l/r buttons. as much as I'd hate to say it, I'd like to see them do something original for once.
You could say that the centre of the universe is the point at which the big bang started and is expanding from.
point that the big bang started from? remember, everything was a singularity, so everything was at a single point... so everywhere you can possibly see right now at some point, was one essentially, so there is no 'starting point' per se relative to it all, since everything was one point. On a side note I'm horrible at explaining things.
I think you're confused about the purpose of these laws. There is no point in arresting the dead child floating in your swimming pool.
Well, I find it in the same vain as taking warning stickers off of things, and letting darwinism do it's thing. Only in this case it would be more so the whole teaching your children from a young age to stay away from pools unless an adult is with you, parents that fail parenting result in possibly harmed child, suprising? no
both format are free with the specifications released but still under control of adobe.
but that means little if the specifications are not complete, while some docs have been released for swf, it is nowhere near enough to complete a full implementation.
It usually goes:
Release the specs! -> Release the source! -> Port it for us!
Depends on what it is, device drivers for example are a good one, in which case it goes Release the specs! > awesome now hurry up developers, faster faster! with little patience for the thing to be written.
Americans adopted -ium to fit the standard form of the periodic table of elements, for most of the nineteenth century, with aluminium appearing in Webster's Dictionary of 1828. In 1892, however, Charles Martin Hall used the -um spelling in an advertising handbill for his new electrolytic method of producing the metal, despite his constant use of the -ium spelling in all the patents[26] he filed between 1886 and 1903.[32] It has consequently been suggested that the spelling reflects an easier to pronounce word with one fewer syllable, or that the spelling on the flier was a mistake. Hall's domination of production of the metal ensured that the spelling aluminum became the standard in North America; the Webster Unabridged Dictionary of 1913, though, continued to use the -ium version.
from wikipedia on the naming of aluminium in the US, so essentially america adopted the international standard ium suffix, and then a single company being the most pronounced seller of it managed to change everyone in americas spelling to aluminum, since that's what he branded it as (even though he wrote aluminium for related patents he wrote). *sigh*
It gets dark WAY too damn early, and it gets light in the morning WAY too damn early.
or the sun comes up and goes down the way it always has, and you don't utilize it effectively by maybe getting a job that has you at work earlier and finishing earlier, or if not possible perhaps getting up before you have to go to work to get things done, then going to bed early?
Clocks should not effect what time you go to bed or awaken, everyone has a choice to an extent.
Why the whiners on Slashdot complain about DST, I'll never understand.
Well as just an example, with some jobs DST means the difference between commuting to work with daylight without it, and waking up and driving to work in the dark with DST. And considering the transition period just so you get the privilege or driving to work in the dark doesn't just seal the deal.
as there IS no central authority for the language,
I would dare say that the Queens English would be the standard, seeming as it was England where English originally came from. That and of all the colonies that originated from there, apart from slang terms of course, all of them except the united states seem to have the same spelling and grammar, coincidence?
It still perplexes me why the United States intentionally misspelled words and then decided that the misspelling was the new way to spell it. (I am not British but am from a country that was one of the former colonies:P)
Most people are monkeys who like pre-fab machines.
then let them have their pre-fab machines with linux already on them, with all driver etc issues already sorted by the manufacturer, just like they are with windows.
Google has a very special place in society now given their success and they have a social duty--an obligation if you will--to provide society with quick and effective searches.
The only duty google has is to please it's shareholders, if you were to 'redistribute' the wealth of large companies that annoy you like you say, well that isn't exactly encouraging for people to try to form successful companies is it, what with them putting in the work and collectively everyone else getting the profit.
to our right to access to Google's search servers.
yes, because you have an inalienable human right to access corporately owned servers, you see.... surely even you must see how fallacious this is.
so wait a second.. you think that when a company becomes very well off, they are obliged to give free services to whoever asks it of them?
I'm not sure what your smoking, but it must be good, google, like all capitalist companies, follow the almighty dollar.
or were to even, for some inexplicable reason, decide to close up shop tomorrow, the federal government should step in and ensure they remain doing their duty
so if company x decides to close down, the government should have the power to _force_ the company to still provide service?... right, I like your choice of words 'doing their duty' makes it sound almost like they are an army deserter by not doing business.
Perhaps it's just a European thing then, being in such close vicinity to so many languages. I dare say in most of the rest of the western world even though people know of the english names of most european cities, it would take (depending how different the name is) a small time puzzling thinking about it to get it at least.
but if I were to talk about the place names "in general" (as I would do here on Slashdot for example), I'd write "KÃbnhavn", "KÃln" and "München".
silly question, do you refer to japan as 'Nihon-koku'? And when you do refer to place names like the above, how many people have to google it to know what the devil your talking about, since most of us don't speak german etc
there is always the possibility that the compiler or linker/loader introduced a back door
Problem being that there is no such thing as known good code.
I disagree, you can use gdb to go through the compiled binary and watch what it does, but since it is not yet trusted, even when doing that do it on a vm. same thing with disassemblers. If I've scoured through all of the assembly and still find nothing, I'd say it's known good code, can't wouldn't say the same for the libraries it calls until they are inspected also. You would want it to be a very special program to justify that kind of work though.

java as a language is decent, but some people hate having to have their code run in a virtual machine, and the performance penalty that entails.
Yes I know of gcj and that is coming along nicely, but still the predominant thing nowadays is still vm and JIT compilers.
Are C/C++ really fast?

depends on which version of the other two you buy, the more expensive ones tend to come with only wireless controllers by default.
The other systems all have usable wired controllers that don't need to be charged
It's called a gamecube controller, the flip panel at the top lets you plug them in and use.

Silly question, why is everyone here missing the second I in aluminium, I mean we're all using the same periodic table yes?
Hate to be a nazi, but it's aluminium, not aluminum,

we also had less gun murder than the US before the firearm laws, but I'm sure that has nothing to do with it

You have to be a complete tool to buy the XP model and then install linux.
or impatient, some people wanting the linux version got sick of waiting months and it never being in stock
