The original Half-Life mod Science and Industry played like a CTF game. The "flags" were scientists, and you captured them by hitting them on they head with a briefcase and carrying them back to your base. What a fun game.
Only just now. It works. I'm a little hesitant to rely on it though, as the styling would be completely messed up for IE users with javascript disabled. But then again, the percentage of IE users with javascript disabled is probably very low.
That doesn't work. IE doesn't add the new tags to the DOM properly; tags withing the tag will be added as siblings to the
, rather than children. The only way I've found to make an HTML5 site work in IE is to surround all the new tags with old tags, and reference the old tags in the CSS.
For example: <div class="article"><article>...
4-way movement for Crazy Kong / Donkey Kong is more difficult as the Tankstick has 8-way movement
I was going to say the same thing. I bought it specifically for Ms. Pacman, Donkey Kong, and Frogger, and unfortunately it's unusable in all 3. A keyboard works much better.
The stable release of AnyDVD HD (6.6.3.4) doesnt support Avatar, but the beta version does ( http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=40115 ). It took me longer to update the firmware on my bluray player than it took me to update AnyDVD HD. Though the actual ripping still takes about 4 hours...
Once you upgrade the firmware, the Argosy HV335T can play Bluray ISOs (I just bought one and it works). It only plays the main title movie, though. It cant play the menu or display subtitles, but it can do both with DVD ISOs.
Outlook 2007 switched from using IE's rendering engine to MS Word's, so actually you've got it backwards. As bad as IE's rendering is, it's light years ahead of Word's.
As long as a Gay man can do what a straight man can do (marry someone of the opposite sex) then they have the same rights. The blacks and so on were actually barred from marrying into interracial marriages at one time which is completely different then gay marriage.
... what?
As long as a black man can do what a white man can do (marry someone of the same race) then they have the same rights.
And, are desktop POWER machines going to be available with Linux?
Fixstars (formerly Terra Soft) offers a power-based workstation called the PowerStation, running Yellow Dog Linux. I think it's a new product. There was a review in the latest issue of Linux Journal. It mentioned a few problems, including X crashing (but that may have been fixed by now).
After all, the big bang theory requires FTL travel (faster than light)
No, it doesnt. You're talking the inflationary period, where space itself expanded faster than light. This is not FTL travel.
FTL travel means moving from one point in space to a different point. The objects all stayed in the same place, it was the space that expanded between them, as it is still doing now.
There exist in "real space" "event horizons", according to relativity. What are event horizons ? Places where gravity IS infinite (not : "approaches infinity"). That's impossible since that would require infinite amounts of energy.
Gravity is not infinite at the event horizon. The event horizon is just the (seemingly arbitrary) line at which escaping the pull of gravity would require FTL travel, and therefore impossible.
Due to passage through an event horizon time stops for this particle (due to light speed). It would no longer interact with the space around it, because it has no time to do so.
Time only stops from the perspective of someone outside the event horizon looking in. For the particle itself, time goes on as normal.
If you are falling into a black hole, nothing special will happen when you pass the event horizon. If the black hole is massive enough, you could even pass the event horizon without realizing you are falling into a black hole. (If it's too small, the difference in gravity between one part of your body and the other will rip you apart.)
That's what I read into it too, but actually you can already use an email address, sort of. If they relying party assumes the OpenID given is a URL, then username@gmail.com would resolve to http://username@gmail.com/, which is a valid URL, pointing to http://gmail.com/. Some OpenID 2.0 providers allow you to enter a generic url (like just a domain name), and when redirected to the OpenID provider you're asked to provide both your username and password, rather than just your password. Yahoo supports this, you can enter yahoo.com in an OpenID login box.
It would be trivial for google to accept OpenIDs at http://gmail.com/, but relying parties might not accept the email address as a URL.
Windows XP Professional can support up to two processors regardless of the number of cores on the processor. Microsoft Windows XP Home supports one processor.
But by that time, the damage is done. Suppose the link you clicked was a "Delete my account" button, for example. Also, the parent window should still be covering most of the iframe, so the only part of the site you'd see is the small box where the link was.
A straw man argument is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.
Your argument is that he is being hypocritical because he's defending the free speech of one side while failing to defend the free speech of that side's opponent. This is a strawman. His use of "persecution" clearly has nothing to do with speech.
Example:
(particularly, but certainly not limited to, government persecution)
It's quite clear he is not talking about the government calling him mean names, he's talking about the type of punishment the government uses, e.g. prison.
Another:
provided you were willing to accept the consequence of being thrown in the gulag shortly thereafter
He is giving an example of the type of persecution that would result from speech. The persecution is not a form a speech, and to be opposed to this is no way hypocritical.
mostly, I suspect, because it is speech and the claim that it isn't is too stupid to merit discussion.
As to the rest of your post, well, it's kind of stupid to tell me I can't exercise my right to "persecute" someone (which is speech, UH OH!) in response to their speech.
You're saying, whether you realize it or not, that one type of speech is absolute but responses to that speech aren't. That's so wrong it doesn't merit refutation.
Strawman. The "persecution" he's talking about is not in the form of speech, and I doubt you honestly thought it was. He means punishment, in general. E.g. being thrown in jail, being sued, being expelled.

how is that completely different?

FTL travel means moving from one point in space to a different point. The objects all stayed in the same place, it was the space that expanded between them, as it is still doing now.
He did not. He called the cosmological constant, the unknown force that kept the universe from collapsing in on itself, his biggest mistake ever.
Decades later it turned out he was right all along, when it was discovered that the universe was expanding at an accelerating rate.
Gravity is not infinite at the event horizon. The event horizon is just the (seemingly arbitrary) line at which escaping the pull of gravity would require FTL travel, and therefore impossible.

processor != core. From http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/highlights/multicore.mspx:
First, techniques like Skype's UDP hole-punching would be completely unnecessary.
Not completely. It would still be needed for firewalls that only allow outbound connections.
But by that time, the damage is done. Suppose the link you clicked was a "Delete my account" button, for example. Also, the parent window should still be covering most of the iframe, so the only part of the site you'd see is the small box where the link was.
that was the Creature Creator, not the game itself. and supposedly you can download the Creature Creator for free anyway.
