Which seemed more like a suggestion. Having been in touch with relatives in Chiba and following Japanese news online, the Japanese aren't panicking. US media would rather we didn't think about [domestic political rant redacted out of deference to the seriousness of the thread]
> but because humanity (and more precisely, human bureaucracy) is often far too gaffe-prone to be trusted. Running a nuclear plant isn't amenable to cost-cutting or tight-fisted cost-benefit assessment.
Exactly. Imagine the fiscal debate around replacing pre-Chernobyl reactors. Current US gov arguing about cutting tsunami warning systems the day of the Japanese tsunami. Now imagine a 9 earthquake in LA with our, shall we say, post-modern approach to regulation. There's a reason Tokyo didn't fall down and it's not the hidden hand of the market. (FWIW I have no specific knowledge of LA building codes. Mentioned purely because
I meant the first movie when Colossus and the Soviet computer go SkyNet at the end
Yeah. I liked it as a kid. IIRC Colossus and the Soviet computer go all SkyNet at the end. Plus they shot it at the science center in the East Bay hills.
They had the ship for years looking at the systems - maybe had cracked the OS somewhat, transmission frequencies (which happened to be the same as the Airport card?). The aliens are telepaths/hive mind(?) so no need for security, ever. Compared to the rest of the movie
Knowing the preceding statement is flame bait I vote for Jurassic Park - the quote is the current department. Best computer scene ever: The end of Colossus(?).
Translates buttons, gradients, frame sets and some animation - though it generates multiple
This is for people who bought those (heinous) Flash templates for their restaurant/photo gallery/etc and are now horrified that the site doesn't play on iPad.
As a long time Flash guy I enjoy telling most new clients they should go with javascript/css etc
Am I the only one who immediately thought of the Heinline short story? I'd go for the wings!
"The Republicans/Democrats/Whigs are dangerously naive about Soviet/Al Qaida/Chinese/Brazilian intentions regarding multicore MIMD instruction code. We must maintain supremacy in cyberspace to protect FREEDOM."
This would be almost as good as a bridge across the Pacific for keeping cold warriors busy.

ps: File sharing screwed the lawyers, not the players. Won't someone think of the lawyers
$3.99 is too much for a sheet. I say big pro composer guy should understand that. Maybe a couple of (IMHO) hack musicals shouldn't make him as much. They should make him something though.
I'm a long time professional who has probably lost big publishing $ to file sharing but saw it coming 20 years ago so wasn't surprised. (and yes my music would probably not be on musical theater girls iPod)
Times change. I still make a living in meat space - playing live - but there's a lot less work to go around.
I also make $ coding, have had clients that said they didn't like it, didn't want to pay and then found my code live on their site. They knew enough to copy the html, css and javascript. It's digital so my labor was worth nothing. Small claims court? I didn't bother but I wonder how it would have played out.
I wonder how all the people who scream that any IP restriction is EVIL feel when they work away at OSS and make very little money. Did they see it coming?
Not that I'd advocate some DRM / IP technological scheme imposed by the state. It's not that you can't put the genie back in the bottle, there is no longer a bottle.
But is it *not possible* to deallocate memory in JS? That is (or used to be) the case with Flash player. Even using best practices and ugly hacks the memory still starts (started?) to bloat. I do a lot of dynamic games and by not importing graphics I've had pretty good success keeping the Flash player under control - though I do slam the CPU but that comes with the territory.
As far as I know Flash Player 10.1 has not fixed the graphics memory leak which was not caused by delveloper bloat. Flash was not releasing memory from loaded graphics according to Macromedia/Adobe. This was a big problem for developing browser based state pages. That may, however, be fixed in 10.1. Were you aware of that problem? Curious why my comment says I'm not experienced. The main problem I have with Actionscript is mobile penetration, and if canvas allows me to port client games and animations to iPhone/Pad it would be a big plus right now. jQuery takes the ugly out of javascript and makes lots of client friendly dynamic menu fades and swooshes easy that I used to push for Flash (to avoid javascript). That allows all updatable content in the html for easy (client?) update eliminating an XML import. I don't think Actionscript is going away and I do think html5 will eventually catch on, I just find it better for me as little guy to play both sides of some when-megacorps-rumble holy war.
This sounds better than the actual Flash player! I've been playing with canvas in an effort to get away from Actionscript but this, especially open sourced, sounds like the best of both worlds.
I don't care if they monetize which obscure pop song I quote in my status or have a record of an occasional flame war with old friends who have emerged from the decades across some political divide. (I probably shouldn't have posted my SS # as a status however
What I find strange is the lack of certain kinds of innovation on the popular sites.
For instance
The problem is getting paid for it. Is there money in presenting local news on the internet? Yes. Is there "enough" money? Stay tuned
You must realize that the computer has it in for you. The irrefutable proof of this is that the computer always does what you tell it to do.
