Heh, in 20 years, players will look at Will Wright's Spore and say, "Can't wait till it comes out!"
Well I think that what you're talking about only creates vibrations. Then it all comes down to how resistive to vibrations your airplane is. Going faster that the speed of vibration in your plane won't make your plane's molecules separate, I have no idea what got this idea into you..
Now I do NOT have a checking account, a credit card, or anything. I don't trust the banks, or the credit card companies, so I am one of the few people who do EVERYTHING in cash.
Sounds like an anti-capitalist corporations-are-evil,-dude/stick-it-to-the-man type hippie.
Yeah, I said it, big whoop, mod me down like I care.
Sorry about being partially off-topic, but why on Earth do Americans use the term "the 1800's" to refer to anything else but the first decade of the 19th Century? Why doesn't it say "Weapon Found in Whale Dated From the 19th century?"
Disclaimer : I'm french and I'm pretty sure that in french we would have said "XIXème siècle" for "the 1800's"
I'd say times have changed, since Duck & Cover, the idea of a rain of H-bomb based ICBMs made us think that if a nuclear strike was launched we were all dead. We think if an atomic bomb hit us we'd die, therefore we don't even care to know how to survive suck a strike. I'm actually glad I watched Duck & Cover in case I ever see such a flash, which is unlikely to ever happen, but still a bit likely.
Agree. It looks like nowadays designers try to put as many curves in their cars as technology allows them. It's not that I'm so into old cars, but new cars can be so fucking ugly.
A U.S. pound is defined as exactly 0.45359237 kg, just as a foot is exactly 0.3048 m. Therefore, any changes to the kilogram's definition also affect that of the pound.
This is nice and all, but the kilogram itself won't change from what we've considered it to be so far. This silicon sphere is there to represent with precision what the kilogram has been for decades. Therefore, none of this will have an impact on anything. It's not like we'll have a new kilogram that will be worth 1.000006186481846 old kilogram, 1 new kilogram = 1 old kilogram, period.
It will be whatever the speed of sound is in the pole.
That's right. One way to verify this and see it in a macroscopic manner would be to hit such a pole very fast and hard with a huge hammer. You'd see a big wave propagate through the pole, bending it, making it vibrate like there's no tomorrow.
By the way, I really wonder what the fuck you've tried, because I installed Safari, on this computer (which is completely unrelated to the school computer I installed it on), and I get the same fucking results. There, congratulations, moron, you trolled me into posting a screenshot
They certainly do not care about their people, but they undoubtfully care about their economy, and most notably, its tremendous growth. My point about technological retardation was that to have an underdeveloped Internet in a country could directly harm the economy, and its growth. Just imagine a country cloned on the USA except far behind the original when it comes to Internet. See how much the IT industry participates to the economy of industrial countries (or whatever they're called now)? My point was, I don't think China can afford to have an IT industry crippled by a half-arsed Internet.
I'm not, punk. Now you're trolling me into making me take screenshots, but I'm not even on the computer on which that occured and then you're an Anonymous Coward anyways. By the way, if you *really* think that because that bug doesn't occur for you it doesn't exist, you're a hopeless cretin, and I hope you're not a dev.
Since yesterday I've been trying Safari on Windows, and it's simply unusable. In a lot of websites, half of the text won't be display, due to what seems to be CSS tags. Basically a typical article on Slashdot looks like "______ _____ from the dept."
Also, adding a bookmark using menu Bookmarks>Add a bookmark crashes Safari. So how can we compare Safari, that is hardly usable, to FF2 and IE7, which are both very usable and stable?
Yeah, when you think about the problem some more, imagine that Google, Yahoo and Microsoft ceased any activity in China as the aforementioned shareholders suggested, maybe at some point the Chinese government would feel forced to bend their rules for these companies to come back in order to not become technologically retarded.
Or maybe more alternatives to these sites (iirc the #1 search engine in China is a Chinese search engine which obviously complies with the laws) could develop and ultimately Google, Yahoo! or Microsoft wouldn't really be "needed" anymore in China..
Here's what I don't understand, if Yahoo! stops complying with local laws, as these shareholders suggest, wouldn't it be purely and simply out of business in China? Could any company violate the Chinese laws and keep working in China, thus providing Chinese citizens a breach in the Great Firewall?
Because that's where it doesn't make sense to me, but maybe my analyse is a bit over-simplistic, if Yahoo! tries not to apply censorship laws, then it won't be able to operate in China and thus it wouldn't be any good for either Yahoo! or Chinese web-surfers, right? Or did I get something wrong?
While I agree that using such a dictionary as TrackMeNot uses is dumb, if you rather used the leaked AOL searches instead, it would be much more efficient. Well, I still think the whole thing is pointless and tinfol-hat-esque anyways.

Sorry but it's not really clear what it all implies. Could someone explain?
Could that be a way to easily obtain DNA tests when you're in a country in which it's a tough thing to get (like France, for example)?
Is this karma, irony, or both? I bought a PS2 for GTA 3, and now I'll buy a 360 for GTA 4 (among other things).
Buy a 360 just for that? Why not upgrade your PC and download GTA IV whenever it comes out?
1. In Soviet Russia, meme-mixing overlords.. err.. nevermind, you've got the ultimate meme mixing covered already..

What you said is confusing, because I'm not sure whether you're confused with the difference between mass and weight or not.
Doesn't fix my rendering issues. And it occurs on two entirely different computers. Am I the only one to get this?
I for one welcome our new privacy removing overlords.
1. Remove privacy laws
2. ???
3. Profit!
In Soviet Russia, privacy laws remove you.
Netcraft confirms it : privacy is dead.
+1, Good Point

c) I've not had those problems so you are lying.

I have never ever, ever met a good policeperson. Not even mediocre.
Ditto! I've never met a good policeman, a mediocre policeman, or even any policeman at all. They just don't come around my village..
Good point, thanks. Have this imaginary Informative mod point ;-)
