But just like prostitutes, if you aren't careful and just go with the cheapest, most-used offering (GoDaddy), you might end up with more than you bargained for.
Nice try, but you're in the wrong. TFS actually uses "ironically" correctly.
From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:
irony
n 1: witty language used to convey insults or scorn; "he used
sarcasm to upset his opponent"; "irony is wasted on the
stupid"; "Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do
generally discover everybody's face but their own"--
Jonathan Swift [syn: {sarcasm}, {irony}, {satire}, {caustic
remark}]
2: incongruity between what might be expected and what actually
occurs; "the irony of Ireland's copying the nation she most
hated"
3: a trope that involves incongruity between what is expected
and what occurs
Google paying money to Mozilla that would quite obviously be used to further develop products that compete with Google's own is not something one might expect, thus an incongruity between what is expected and what occurs has been introduced.
I know that many people use "ironic" and "ironically" incorrectly, and that it is popular to jump on them for doing so, but TFS has not made that mistake. Contrast this with the well-known examples of misuse by Alanis Morissette, and see that the situations she identifies do not have the same incongruity. Those situations are unfortunate and coincidental, but there is no incongruity between what is expected and what occurs. Direct your hate at that kind of incorrect usage and support the correct usage of a valuable tool of our language and humor.
Good, I'm sick of cleaning up those heaps of dead monkeys.
Farnsworth: Well, as a man enters his 18th decade, he thinks back on the mistakes he's made in life. Amy: Like the heaps of dead monkeys? Farnsworth: Science cannot move forward without heaps! No, what I regret is the youth I wasted playing it safe.
Backwards compatibility has shown up in many consoles over the years.
The Wii can play GameCube games. The Wii U will be able to play Wii games (but not GameCube games). The GameBoy and DS lines have had backwards compatibility. The pre-Jaguar Atari consoles had backwards compatibility.
There have been other examples. In the past, new platforms were typically very different from their predecessors, requiring emulation to allow backwards compatibility. There has also been the issue of physical compatibility: new cartridge formats meant new interfaces, and new disc formats meant new drive types. The parallels between current consoles and PCs should actually make backwards compatibility easier to achieve, but there will often be a cost premium to provide it due to the need to provide compatible interfaces and software. I'm not sure I'd want to pay much more for a new console just so that it can play games from the previous generation.
The real concern is the online features. How long will the stores and game servers for older generations of consoles remain online? What happens to the online features and DLC after that point? We don't have solid commitments from vendors. I will not buy a game that will lose significant functionality when the vendor decides to shut down the servers. I'm also not crazy about the idea of losing access to DLC that I've already purchased if something happens to the downloaded data, such as if the console dies. Even if something happened to my Atari 7800, I could pick up another one and play everything I ever had for it. I can also still find cartridges for all but the rarest Atari titles. What would happen if I decided I wanted to play a downloadable title for the 360 or Wii 10 years from now, and either hadn't downloaded it or had been forced to replace my console? If the vendors had their way, many titles would become lost to time very quickly. In the future, many older downloadable titles will only be obtainable through illegal means, if at all. That is very unfortunate.
While excellent news, this is old news. Note that the current release is alpha 9. These alphas have been around for months.
I have enjoyed using Firefox on my G2, and while the NoScript alphas do work, they definitely do not provide the same experience as their desktop counterpart. I'm hoping that by the time NSA reaches stable releases, it provides more of the ease-of-use and feature set I am used to on the desktop. Still, if you're using an Android handset supported by Firefox, I strongly recommend giving this a try. Adblock Plus is available, too!
The use of tools was a significant early step in the development of humankind. Maybe, in as little as a couple million years, the big studios will be ready to be part of civilized society.
Exactly. I bought the DS for my daughter when she was 3 and have used it to teach her how to treat electronics. She's still got that DS, and it is in great shape. She also hasn't lost any of the games. I had to replace one stylus, but I actually don't think that was her fault. If you don't teach a child how to treat the things they care about, they won't ever learn. I've seen far too many people of all ages abuse their portable devices and then blame the devices for their failures.
The UA and HTTP_ACCEPT headers provided most of the bits, and those will be pretty common for anyone using the same browser version and platform. NoScript blocked most of the other detection techniques, and those results will be common with anyone else using NoScript or with JavaScript disabled.
Part of TFA focuses on the decompression. Thorough science (and the MythBusters episode) have shown that this is not an extreme danger. With a large enough hole, wind and other forces present far greater risk of dislodging passengers.
As for the health risks, I wonder if they even looked at the research and equipment behind HALO jumps. Obviously, folks aboard a passenger aircraft aren't going to be prepared and aren't going to have 'chutes, but some of the health concerns and physical dangers have been closely examined to ensure the safety of high-altitude insertions.
Also, "my guess" and "or something" aren't the kinds of things I would expect someone that had really considered the matter to be saying.

It's time for our senators to defend the right to arm bears with modern weapons! Won't anyone think of the cubs?
Sorry, I nodded off for a moment there. Not sure if it was the music or the Daily Mail article.

Aim for the head and leave no questions.

Your job became taking young programmers who love what they do and extracting their souls, motivating them to follow the same path you did.

A little bit later than the video, but I tried RedHat (5.1 or 5.2? I can't remember) in the summer of 1997.
No, you didn't. Either your timing or your version numbering is a bit off. Timeline
