Hypercard and Hyperstudio! I played around making all sorts of silly games, slowly learned how to add in some scripting on my own, tinkering about. Had a course in highschool that went into more depth, and then a class in Java.
I've looked into this -- I don't want to carry around several SD cards with me, and I didn't find a phone where the built in space + an SD card would be big enough. If you have a recommendation I'd love to hear it.
I hope that this is an indicator of a 128 GB iphone in the future. I've held off on getting a smartphone for years because if I'm going to get more high tech gadgetry then I want it to replace my mp3 player, and 64 GB would not cut it.
This is it. The culmination of the human experience. Countless generations led us here, to this point in time -- this glorious point in time, in which man has finally done it!
We can now interact with rats via robots.
We're done here, humans. We've won. Anything else form here on out is just frosting on the cake.
Keep in mind, this is before the game even goes up for sale, which I'm sure will generate additional revenue. It's already a company, they have other revenue sources through sales of their previous games, etc. This is the initial investment capitol not "ZOMG we need to feed 47 people" capitol.
That mark is useless without the table that tells you what each distance represents. So on that matchstick you haven't stored data, merely a hash of that data.
Incorrect: as long as you can measure that mark as a distance with arbitrary precision you can use that to convey any amount of data.
For instance, your distance could be
0.7269767679 mm, which, with a simple 1:1 dec to ascii conversion is 0.HELLO, assuming you use fractions of a millimeter for your data.
See? With infinite precision comes infinite data. Infinite precision is, of course, difficult to impossible in the real world, but that's never stopped me before.
A well thought out article, though I'm not sure about your claim that polygamy creates a less warlike mentality. I've heard quite the opposite argued, in fact, that widespread polygamy makes prospective mates less common for those who have less available to offer, which leads to frustration and violence. Of course, this is just an argument I've heard, [citation needed].
Do people really hate the police that much? I mean, asking for them to get a WARRANT before they invade your invade your life? Do you have any idea how much of a hassle that is? We should just hand them over every little piece of information about our lives at the drop of a hat! It's the least we can do.
1) Make up phony job. 2) Put up lots of "now hiring" signs. 3) Ask for online account information, passwords. 4) Massive credit card fraud -- chances are people use the same passwords for everything 5) PROFIT!
I love it when I read about some bizarre contraption in the discworld books only to discover later that it's based on some bizarre contraption in reality.
I'm blind in one eye too. The latest 3d trend makes me sad, cause it sounds so cool. I remember being sad I couldn't go see captain nemo when I went to disnyworld as a kid.
Doesn't anyone remember their schoolhouse rock? This is just a bill. Lots of bills get introduced. Most of them are terrible. This bill is still in committee. Hopefully someone there will be able to identify that this is a terrible idea, and that will be that. If it makes it to vote, you can bet I will be calling up my senators. That is unlikely, however.
I'm not quite sure how Obama is getting lumped up in this. Has he come out in favor of this bill? If not, please stop with the ridiculous "Change we can believe in" slogan waving.
In closing, outrage that someone would be stupid enough to think this is a good idea is healthy. But let's not act as if this is already been signed into law.
Yep: TMBG has been doing this for a while. I just picked up the latest Say Hi album the other day. I just got the latest Radiohead album. I'd be completely willing to do this more often.
Vonnegut was more of an influence on me than anyone else who I had never met. I read and re-read every one of his books, and loved most of them. I've had dreams where I met him. They were awesome dreams.
He was a fantastic writer and human being. He will be missed.
if they did that the keyboard would be off-center, and that would drive you insane after a short period.
as for the new imac, well, i imagine speakers wouldn't fit there, and there's not too much point in adding something there just for the sake of it being there
oh god no, stay away from director. way too many "undocumented features" and not enough "not-terribly buggy interface". hypercard, it is not. try for flash, perhaps, if you want this approach. much better progam, IMO.

Sounds interesting, here's another source, since this is slashdotted: http://www.techspot.com/news/48335-valve-confirms-steam-and-source-engine-for-linux.html
Wait, you mean a product costs more than the sum if its intrinsic parts? STOP THE PRESSES!

Forgotten, hell. Picasso said it--"Good artists copy, great artists steal."
I think Banksy said that,

yeah, earthly indulgences are wicked sweet. You could buy a lot of waffle mix with one million dollars. about 592,000 lbs of waffle mix.

Yeah, well I'm gonna make my own climate change group! With blackjack! And hookers! Actually, forget the climate change group...

Drug tests are an awful invasion of my privacy. No one has the right to MY pee!
Ok, new plan:
1) Make up phony job.
2) Put up lots of "now hiring" signs.
3) Ask for online account information, passwords.
4) Massive credit card fraud -- chances are people use the same passwords for everything
5) PROFIT!

You rock me like the real thing... and if you were the real thing, you'd rock me even more
