You know, it occurs to me that we have had the technology to send a one-way mission since about 1998. Though it would be more mass-efficient to just shoot the astronauts on the launch pad. Think of all the savings on food, water, air, and radiation shielding.
No no no. That doesn't result in more bits. Each bit is twice as wide. Pretty clever when you think about it.
Personally, I don't want a currency with intrinsic value. I want it to have value as a currency only. I do not want the price of my cheeseburger be directly affected by the amount of yellowish (and inedible) metal some guy managed to dig out of the ground this year.
... the ability to seize bank accounts and the use of the threat of prison and even guns/bodily harm to get their money to pay its debts.
Slashdot is becoming such an interesting place. The level of ignorance and (perhaps deliberate) misunderstanding I see on a daily basis is difficult to put into words. How are we to have a conversation (to say nothing of debate) with a person who has such a poor understanding of the terms involved?
Humans may need vehicles, but vehicles don't need humans.
And how long do you think it will be before engineering gets automated?
Four sheets of A4 is one sheet of A2. If you are going to go ISO 216, you might as well go whole hog.
The unnamed insulator is Spam. Not sure if that makes it toxic or non-toxic, though.
No, it loads and runs on Linux with the latest stable release of Chrome as well.
It doesn't run _well_.. it failed to capture the mouse and it locked up the browser, but it does run. I got to see Workbench and everything.
Well, is he using metric skies?
I am embarrassed to say that I stared at the screen for some minutes before realizing that "Eveready Rabbit" was not some cutsie release name for the latest Slackware release.
We casually accept tyranny from our employer that we would never accept from our government. And in this economy, it is not practical to abandon an employer over our rights because (a) other employers are just as bad, and (b) they ain't hiring.
Of course it runs netBSD.
Leave programming to the programmers. If you want to get science done, use LabView.
Yes, I have too - IntelliJ itself is written using Swing and it's quite appealing on all the platforms I've used it on. But I guess that they had to develop custom themes for it and be very careful to achieve that.
JFX8 looks great out of the box
Agree about the difficulty with Swing. Swing permits different look and feels to differ too much in essentials like ordering of operations, focus, and etc. It makes it very hard to adjust the styling of individual components and expect it to do anything reasonable in different look and feels.
JavaFX sounds really good, but I've not yet developed against it. Thanks for the link to SceneBuilder, I look forward to playing with it.
