I hear non-factory farming also produces denser images that are more pleasing to the eye and have a higher contrast value. Besides, you'd be helping out the small rendering businesses by only selecting local renders.
As a developer, I think I'd work faster/better if I knew a quality product would let me work on side projects in the end. If I knew that I'd never have time to experiment and play then I'd just trudge along and get depressed. It would be a tremendous moral boost. Developing has downtime unless you work for a slave trade.
I used to help my father wire houses as a teenager and I've had my fair share of shocks back when I used to help my father install wiring in houses when I would get shocked quite often.
Now I have this problem with ending sentences when I should without repeating what I already said when I want to end a sentence./sillyhumor
Actually, now that I'm reminded, it was a tremendous learning experience.
That's pretty much Last.FM except you can't specify playlists unless you pay for it. You can however type in a search for a specific type of music and it will do tag comparisons for similar music and you can essentially do the same thing (with links.)
That's why I'd kill for another well done first person MMO like EQ was (originally.) It was a pleasure to go to a new dungeon and they weren't afraid to make small passages because the camera would have a hard time seeing... I don't care if you couldn't see behind you all the time, a flick of the mouse and you could look around.
It it's part of the file system, a save is a check in and a load is a check out... history can be shown on a file using common dialogs. If a program chooses not to use a common dialog, you could have a file pretend to be a directory with the version information as files of that.
Search is all fine and good, but what of those of us that prefer to categorize and sort our own files? Like creating a file cabinet of organized tax forms and other documents? You can't search your file cabinet, but you know where things are. Windows 7 and many other OSes are moving to a search feature and leaving out the ability to effectively use the file system to organize our own files. Personally, the trend I hate is the removal of hierarchy lines in the tree views that make it nearly impossible to have several directories open and tell what the parent is at a glance without closing the structure up to align the dots.
In my ideal OS, I wouldn't have a file system per say, but a sort of advanced key/value storage system... but you'd still be able to create containers to store things with the ability to make containers in containers like directories today. When you install a program, it would ask you where you want to store your data and you'd grant it rights to a specific container which will contain the settings and data you use and have no access to anything else unless you explicitly granted it. I'd still want an advanced tree view for those times when I want to re-organize something though and if I moved a container being used by a program, the program would never know but continue to use the same container... basically, an indexed storage system that uses IDs internally so you could change folder names, locations, etc without breaking everything.

I'd rather see "yougottakeepemseparated"
Keyboard dust is made of people!

I hear if you flip a Prius over it makes a good boat.

You joke, but how many kids are going to run home to the parents and tell them that "Today in school we made vibrator things!"
It's like a South Park episode waiting to happen.
Just leave it for the next guy to pay off...
Wow! It's a schooner.
Now if we can only somehow combine this with Piet...
Since they've banned electro-shock therapy in China, I'm going to have to find another country to break my addiction to Slashdot!
Must... resist... clicking that link again...
Playlists are a subscription perk.
That's pretty much Last.FM except you can't specify playlists unless you pay for it. You can however type in a search for a specific type of music and it will do tag comparisons for similar music and you can essentially do the same thing (with links.)
For instance: http://www.last.fm/listen/globaltags/atmospheric <- There you go... a channel dedicated to just atmospheric music.
Having just read a quote from Ballmer on Engadget: "I don't know if they can't make up their mind or what the problem is over there, but the last time I checked, you don't need two client operating systems. It's good to have one." Maybe someone should tell him it's good to have one streaming music service, one web search, and one video game console as well. ;)
Since it says Spotify isn't available in the US (really?) I assume it's pretty much just like Last.FM or is it more like Pandora?

It's not that important. I just like seeing what is done with interfaces recently as I've been doing a lot of that for work.
Do you have a site or a place I can see this interface? I'm curious.
I'd also be for the argument of placing settings in a common hidden folder of home called .settings or .config
Some apps already do, but I have quite a few that like to create their own hidden directories instead of using .config/programname ;)

We should just start referring to directories on a computer as "Bags of holding" or "That thing your aunt gave you which you don't know what it is"
Expect, or hope?

Wasn't Endo-Steel only available to the clans? Man, I forgot more than I remembered about that game.
One of the programmers slipped in an operator overload in the the version subsystem effectively changing the period to an addition operation.
