Wine isn't an emulator. It's a set of libraries that try to mimic Windows. Since it's well known that Windows relies on the monolithic, do-it-all library architecture, it has the speed edge due to the fact that many functions don't need to force a context switch. The "Unix way", OTOH, relies on the safer and more resilient "do one thing well" multiple library concept, so while it may be easier to bugfix, the resulting program (Firefox in this case) spends an inordinate amount of time in context switches.
But are we really going to try to maximize speed over durability?
another bit of trivia: they actually had a higher average brain size than Homo Sapiens. And in a smaller body, too. So if we go by the popular brain-mass/body-mass metric, they should actually be a little smarter on the average.
Tell the court, Bright Eyes, what is the second article of faith?
The serious answer is that they believe that the bone fragments are either human in origin or mocked up from bones of existing apes.
There is no Neanderthal species for ID proponents. The answer is either they are human or they never really existed and the evolutionists are involved in a vast conspiracy to validate their own beliefs by creating these "pre-human" humanoids.
Interesting. What would we learn? That the fossil record which we believe shows a divergence in the primate family tree (and subsequently label "evolution") may not actually be showing divergence of species at all? That the claims of speciation among primates doesn't happen?
That *gasp* evolution doesn't happen?
No, you'd better hope that there is a difference between the human genome and the Neanderthal genome.
This would be a perfect test for cloning, as it would be incredibly interesting to clone these creatures and study them. We could discover their intelligence, learning capability, physical appearance, and other things that can only be guessed at through the fossil record. In the name of science, it behooves us to do such cloning (along with cloning of wooly mammoths and dingos).
The problem would be that, like monkeys, Neanderthals are primates and would probably be the focus of animal rights groups seeking ways to stall the progress of science. Should appearance endow rights? Just because they may look structurally similar to humans, they aren't human.
I can't be alone in my problems with Ubuntu's media player. I installed Ubuntu in a VPC in order to be able to surf porn sites on my work computer and be undetectable in case someone tried to go through my cache. Things worked great except that I simply wasn't able to get video to work in the media player.
It's not the end of the world. I can of course download static images, but sometimes it's more enjoyable to see porn in motion.
Anyone else have the same problem? Does Miro solve this problem?
It's amazing how Boeing's newest production jumbo, the 777, is slimmer and faster than the hulking 747.
Contrast that with the average width of the American ass, and there's probably some kind of rule that can be proved. I don't know what it is, but also consider that the average airline seat size hasn't changed in the last 30 years and you're looking at an industry that is out of touch with mainstream America.
I hope Obama has a plan to fix our sagging economy!
There was a time when the WSJ really spoke to me as a conservative Republican. I suppose it was because during my formative years in college, during the Clinton presidency, that I was trying to find recognition and validation for my smaller-government/more-freedom beliefs that I gravitated towards the high quality journalism of the WSJ. Sure, I dabbled a bit with the NYT, and I even once read USA Today, but these were only in experimentation. I never liked them and I certainly wouldn't read them again. I'm not a liberal, if that's what you're trying to insinuate.
Sure, I sometimes check the box for the Presidential campaign contribution on my taxes. And I suppose that government support for the Arts is a good and necessary thing. And yes, even I can agree that unions are a necessary organ of today's manufacturing system. But just because I sometimes hold these views doesn't mean that I'm any less conservative or somehow more liberal for it.
I have plenty of liberal friends, and I'm still not attracted to the ideology at all. Maybe I will occasionally join them on weekend camping trips in the woods and drum out my inner man-boy on bongos. And maybe I'll ride to work with them on my bike instead of driving my Prius. And so what if I take a couple days off to protest the cutting down of yet another plot of Redwoods? These are important things to me.
You want to talk about automatically-piloted vehicles. Shit. This morning I was driving through the downtown area and this Chevy Blazer comes flying around a corner, tires squealing and horn honking. I take a look and (obviously) it was a woman driving. Or should I say "sitting at the wheel", because her hands certainly weren't on the wheel.
Now, I'm the first one to argue that you don't need both hands on the wheel at the same time, but at least you need to have one hand on it to consider yourself driving! Jabba the Hutt in the Blazer was putting on makeup and eating a Ho Ho while careening around 2nd Ave at 30mph with no hands on the wheel. I can only assume she was navigating with her belly, because that's the only thing that could possibly have been touching the steering wheel at the moment.
You want to credit Heathrow and freaking Arabs with driver-less cars? How about the United fucking States of goddamned America? We've been pioneering this shit since London's been overrun by Asians.
Consider that Raskolnikov was only an outlaw because he believed himself to be such. If he hadn't had the guilty conscience, the authorities never would have caught up with him. They believed that the painters had done the crime, and had the confession to prove it.
But all men who are good at heart love honesty, and though Raskolnikov was able to commit murder, he was unable to maintain the lie which he had constructed.
In much the same vein, Javert was able to break his case against Jean Valjean because though a criminal, Valjean was never the hardened criminal he was portrayed to be.
I sit here in this cafe, drinking a latte and typing on my laptop computer. Both the latte and the PC are hot, one from being prepared that way, the other as a result of internal processes. Both are hot as I have defined them.
Does the fact that one requires an external entity to prepare it make it any less hot than the one that becomes hot of its own accord?

What's amazing is that TED has been reduced to this kind of schlock.
It used to be about thinkers, now it's apparently about ridiculously complicated and useless technology.
I only need inches, if you get my drift.
We all know what you're doing, pervert.
This link is for you.
"I think judges should get expert opinion outside the courtroom."
There, that wasn't so hard, was it?
May I suggest the following link
Competition is good for everyone.
I would be hard pressed to find any downside to this at all.
How about "just about any product". No one ever got rich ignoring their customers' requests.
Except Apple, I suppose. But they usually tell their customers what to want anyway, so it all works out.

I can hear the "wazzzzzuppp" with my speakers off.
What would you do? Keep them in a lab? How would you justify that?
Public safety.

You should not be in the zoo. No, you should not be in the zoo. With all the things that you can do, the circus is the place for you.

What's the big deal? You're making games, not art. Get over yourself and just do your job.

Fedora Linux: So easy, even a brain damaged old woman can use it!
Whoa whoa whoa.
Windows is still there. Linux runs on top of it.

In much the same vein, Javert was able to break his case against Jean Valjean because though a criminal, Valjean was never the hardened criminal he was portrayed to be.
In short, Russian Linux is likely to suck.
