The resume and article is misleading. It sounds like cosmic radiations will counteract time dilation. It has however no connection, let's say you take a fast trip that to the relatively non-moving observer takes 1 year, but that because of time dilation it takes you the traveler live 1 hour, it will be about spending 1 hour and getting harmed by cosmic radiations, it will not make you take more than an hour.
Wow, what a fucked up resume and article.
"Was Einstein Wrong about Space Travel?" yeah right! Just put lead all around your near light speed space ship and laugh at this article.
Actually, those "news" are all about "Cosmic rays are bad for your health", did I get it right? I smell sentionnalism in the air, or something..
This particular bug has several 100's of comments but people just can't decide on which of perfect, advanced hypersolutions to pick and as result not even a very simple and basic one exists.
The smart way is the Tab Mix Plus way, give people the choice (like, horizontal scrolling or vertical scrolling, how many rows, etc..).
Some things are just 'not perfect enough to be included' and preferred to be left out instead of included in non-perfect form.
If so then firefox should not load in memory (since its implementation of the use of memory is very far from perfect, I wonder what kinda stuff they can hide in 300 MB of RAM tho..)
I mainly agree with you, the incrementation goes too fast. One purely psychological thing about this is that major releases lose their impact if you keep on incrementing that fast. I mean what happened to Firefox 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4? Why jump directly to 1.5? It seems that it's to say that it's half way to 2.0, but I don't think this is a good idea
Psychological effects aside, I've been using Firefox since 0.9, and since then I have been complaining about both the memory usage (although it seems that a great part of that is considered a disableable feature, but when disabled you still have some big memory usage) and the lack of solution for reaching tabs that are out of scope (although third-party extensions such as Tab Mix Plus brought a solution to it, a Mozilla-made solution wouldn't be unwelcome)
But I still do not see how is DRM supposed to "threaten critical infrastructure and potentially endanger lives".
As for your recording, I don't know, but I wouldn't rely on a record for lasting 670 years. I would rather rely on a microfilm, and probably on PCM data written in binary, something like a PCM WAVE file.
If the problem is the input, put one of these one-button games on them. I however don't think that it's the problem with phone games, I think the problem is that it seems nobody even tries to make it any good.
You find arcade games from the 70's that take less ressources, pixels and colors than available on all phones that are way more fun, but nobody seems to be motivated into making good phone games and exploiting the phones capacities to the fullest.
Why now MAC user want to even try to run windows on their highly expensive hardware?
MMMPH!! what the fucks wrong with you people! When is last time you played some of the latest top selling game on a Mac? i'm not saying there's none, but it should be obvious to anyone why would a Mac user want to run Windows, quit trolling goddamnit!
And quit acting like this fucking shit is new, Mac users have always been wanting to run Windows, from back in the days of Connectix Virtual PC and Tomb Raider II and even before, the only diff is now it's native.
Seriously I can't take these troll ass "Why run Windows on an expensive Mac?" questions no more, mod that flamebait if you want.
I'm really not trying to troll, but I'm feeling very tired and read only about two third of the article (which is more than alot of people who post I presume) and there's something I couldn't figure out, maybe because of the two reasons invoked above, how DRM supposed to "threaten critical infrastructure and potentially endanger lives" and who believes it does?
Very true. I remember doing the same with my calculator in 9th grade. Nobody could see what I was doing with it without looking throught he filter.
Imagine the potential of your idea tho. Would have loved to have this back when the only computer around was in a public room (kinda sucks to turn the screen off every time someone comes in and your watchin porn, I'm not even talking about trying to justify it)
After having RTFA (which deprived me of the first post, but you gotta make sacrifices in life), I conclude that although some ugly sites are successful, unlike what you may think until you get to the half of TFA, ugliness has nothing to do with it, it's all about being simple and useful.
I'm just saying that, at first I thought when I saw that that ugliness was a good thing, but it has almost nothing to do with all that.
Can't wait for the next game in the series, Rise of Legends
I just looked at the official site, and I'm feeling slightly disappointed. Instead of following the realistic AoE vein, like Rise of Nations, it seems to be something like the son of Warcraft III and Total Annihilation. Personally I'm more into the realistic stuff than the futuristic-medieval fantasy (btw, why do they always have to mix futurism and medieval type shit?)
its impact on my dating life is something I wish I could measure however
Dude, what's wrong with girls knowing you're a hardcore geek? Personally I find it cool, when girls ask me what I'm doing, tell em I'm geeking, eventually tell em some shit they can't possibly understand like "oh i'm debugging my real-time implementation of fast fourier transform convolution with overlap-add blah blah.." and girls have no problem with it, they often laugh.
Well, I don't know if they actually laugh, they say "lol", eh, it's not like I often see a girl face to face.
Wow, how do you know the original poster wasn't joking (unless you're him)?
Besides, the average marine has about a high school education, no morals and a low threshold for the sanctity of life. They might as well be robots anyways.:-)
Shit, that sounds like a damn joke to me, but maybe my sense of humor is just hypertrophied;-)
haha, exactly what I thought about, which made me wonder why don't we have handcranked lights. OK, you convinced me, although at first, computers doesn't sound like what these people need the most.
In the words of my father : "What an insane world we live in!"
That's why I don't wanna play WoW, there's something strange about it. Probably I don't wanna end up spending 12 hours a day playing it and even spending money on eBay for skills instead of spending my day geeking and looking at naked playmates.
Let's all rather make a good massively multiplayer clone of Super Maze Wars and play it all!
The reason these guys don't have computers is because it's just too expensive for them.
We can't be talking about the same people. The people I'm talking about don't have electricity, barely know how to read their own language and walk 10 miles everyday to get barely drinkable water, and they send a guy to work in Europe as a construction worker so he gets a minimal income and sends like half of it to considerably help about 40 people form his village, and by 35 half of them is all dead. They're not gonna buy a laptop computer, even if it did cost $0.05.
What you're gonna do with a laptop computer if you don't even know how to read and got better shit to do than that anyways?
Well as you can see on the picture, the water gets ejected pretty high. One could imagine a probe capturing samples of this water without having to land, just by "passing by", even eventually if enough power is used get in orbit around the satellite, thus not contaminating. The return to earth might be something hard to achieve tho.
Well thanks for the info. I was not being sarcastic. So far I just couldn't find no working crack for that (that was last summer tho). No crack on crack sites or eD2k would do it, and from forum posts apparently no-one had succeeded in cracking it.
As I said, I, for once, am delighted to be proven wrong;-)
Its not terribly difficult to get past, but most people are too lazy to go through that much effort to play a game
Wait, you must be joking! Have you tried breaking the security of one of these Starforce 3.x games? I tried with TrackMania Sunrise, I looked hard, and so far absolutly nobody has managed to crack it, but I'd be delighted to be proven wrong.

Oh shit. The next "Why run Windows on a Mac" question I read, I don't know what I'll do, but I'll do it!

I thought you was being sarcastic. Yeah seriously, I'm currently unemployed and so I spend most of my days home in my little village
Thanks for the sarcasm, but beyond the recurrent stereotype, this is the reality for me (I rarely see any other girl than my sister or mother)

Funny how people's sense of humour simply disappears when they're in the group of the target of the joke (see the story about Isaac Hayes leaving South Park http://news.yahoo.com/s/eo/20060313/en_tv_eo/18557 ;_ylt=ApLsjvNEDlsWHICj_u_Z2XIDW7oF;_ylu=X3oDMTBiMW 04NW9mBHNlYwMlJVRPUCUl). People need to expand their sense of humour and learn self-derision.

ight, but realistically, it's not gonna happen, at least not often.
you don't need electricity to connect to the net
You *might* need a phone line and an ISP tho. Oh wait, nevermind, I forgot there was wifi spots all the way from cameroun to zimbabwe ;-)

Imagine when we have 6 billion people with electricity. Currently only about 4 billions.
