It's kinda sad to see that a lot of the tech industry is not learning from the past.
For some reason I don't think it's just the tech industry that doesn't learn from the past...
Actually, if it did, it would probably be the first collection of humans ever to do so.
Embryonic stem cell research ends humaan life? I don't know if that's exactly true or not...If you're talking about aborted fetuses...wouldn't they already be aborted? That's kind of like saying when somebody dies, burying them ends their life.
Actually, Dr. Frankenstein didn't use any stem cells. His monster was made of 100% transplants, so I'd say we're far beyond Frankenstein at this point.
They want it, but they don't know A) How to get it, or B) that it's even available. If everyone knew how easy it would be to fix their crapped-out Dells if they were shipped with an OS cd (and a driver cd), I'm sure we would hear a lot more people clamoring.
You know what though, I prefer this to Microsoft suing smaller companies who can't defend themselves over questionable patent infringements. Yes, it is silly, but I'm glad to see the door swings both ways, so to speak.
I was talking about browser behavior...not standards. Of course that should not be defined in html standards; it is completely unrelated. But it is the logical way for a browser to behave...that's all I was saying.
oh my god. OPERA IS FREE (as in beer). You do not have to pay for it! (also it knows that "target=_new" should mean a new tab, not a new browser instance, out of the box)
the general public don't want anything new and interesting in gaming
Yeah that's pretty evident when I go into the video game store looking for a survival horror game and they have about 75 war games, 150 sports games, 594375 FPS's... and Diablo.
umm, yeah... guess what kind of tv 90% of us DON'T have? It was a stupid move on Microsoft's part to assume that everyone was going to run out and buy HD TVs. Now to those of us with regular tvs the 360's graphics are marginally if at all better than XBox's.
I see what you're getting at but it isn't the concept that they are describing that breaks conservation of energy. Clearly, what they mean is as a drop of water falls, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. They describe it in a way that makes it sound like bad science, but it is true that something falling (and accelerating) gains KINETIC energy.
isn't it more bad terminology than bad science? It is true that it is just conversion of potential to kinetic energy, but isn't pretty much all there is?Is there any situation where energy is "gained" where it is not just being converted from potential to another form?
There's nothing stopping anyone from simply stopping playing WoW, play DDO for a while, and then later go back to play WoW, or subscribe to both and play both.
If you think this, you probably play MMO games differently than most people. From what I've seen, most people's goals are to make their characters uber-1337 by spending hundreds of hours accumulating gold and treasure to buy cool or sexy armor/weapons.
I can relate. I play Guild Wars and recently I was talking to someone about WoW. He hyped it up and I got really pumped to play it. I went out and bought it and my reaction upon playing it was "Yup, this is a really nice game. I can see why a lot of people like it." Then I signed off and played Guild Wars the rest of the night.
You could get it pretty low, certainly, maybe even something like a dollar, but how much does a normal happy meal toy cost? I'd bet it's significantly less than a cent.
Couldn't these scanners also have built-in heat detectors, and just check for 98.6 degrees F +/- a few degrees? Of course this still wouldn't be immune to "heated play doh attacks" but it would be one more measure of security. Of course, problems would arise on very cold days maybe, or when someone has a fever, but there could be some solution to that too. (I don't have all the answers!:)

For the most part I agree, but if you ask me, being able to have a method that takes a variable amount of arguments is the *definition* of awkward...

Yeah, I would never trust a research tool that allows its users (let alone its creator) to correct errors either.

So he was bisexual then?
How about more specific feedback? This is just off the top of my head, but separate buyer and seller feedback, or maybe by price category.
I think so. A specific instance was on slashdot a while ago, it was some software called window washer or something.

Why don't you turn the box and do the maze on the back?
:)
hmm...maybe a good use of this e-paper stuff would be better stuff to do on the back of the box? Imagine eating cereal while playing Doom 3
