Nobody is telling you to shut up, but it sure sounds like you are telling the people who are just offering their freely-held opinions of your self-absorbed, whiny posts to shut up.

What an incredibly hypocritical jackass you are. Go on posting, but don't think that you are immune from other people's opinion, Mr. Special Flower.

Not to mention the fact that networks NEVER, EVER go djfhgytirkd

No. Apple (in fact, Jobs at the WDCC) already announced that iOS 5 is this Fall.

And, here's the Apple Press Release.

Whoops, obviously a brain fart on my part. Oy. But they *do* measure individual neutrino interactions via the Cherenkov radiation emitted from their interactions in very large reservoirs of shielded heavy water.

Why not? You filter out other kinds of decay with a block of lead, and run the signal from the single muon through a PMT, and presto, you have a measurable signal.

This is a standard undergraduate modern physics lab experiment.

Text messages are sometimes dropped on the floor - they are not guaranteed delivery. AT&T drops them every so often in Austin.

The Alamo's policy is complaint-driven. If you are truly not bothering anybody, you will not be asked to leave. I betcha this drunk chick was not being subtle.

You're kind of an idiot. Text messages and email are not a reliable point-to-point communications medium for time sensitive messages. If it's that important, it should be using a real time channel (voice) and you should be going out into the hall to answer it.

Your urgency does not entitle you to disrupt other people's enjoyment of their paid-for evening. The Alamo's policy is in place because of self-important jackasses like you,

I wonder if you have some sort brain damage or something, or are just assuming the least instrusive phone possible during the brightest scene possible.

How could you not find a bright backlit LCD distracting during a dark scene in a movie? The Alamo's policy is a great one - they prohibit children under a certain age, too, outside of certain designated showings They are well-loved in Austin for these kinds of policies - I won't go to other theaters now unless I want IMAX or they are not showing a movie I want to see. It really does make a different kind of experience, making sure that nobody is distracting their neighbors.

You're mistaken. You can't use a different *rendering engine* from WebKit, but there are a number of other browsers that are sold on the strength of different user-facing functions.

Atomic Web Browser, for one.

If I recall correctly, the use of unprecedented levels of pesticides was also a major component.

Yes. The way we grow food now is incredibly wasteful in terms of water - a well managed hydroponic garden can use as little as 5% of the water of an open air dirt garden - you're not losing all that water to evaporation from the soil.

Another beauty of a hydroponic garden is that it is incredibly easy to do anywhere you get sunlight - you need a little bit of power (the amount used by an aquarium aerator) to aerate the nutrient solution, and change the nutrient solution every week or so, and the food grows itself. Every geek should have a little hydroponic garden - might as well put that sunlight to some good use.

Sort of, but not exactly. DC (Grant Morrison, specifically) created a structure under which the DC Universe operates: Hypertime. All stories ever written have actually taken place in Hypertime, just on different timeline "branches" - and branches can remerge. If two events on inconsistent, that just means that they were on different timelines (or one was a minor timeline that was reabsorbed by a main line).

Which they are going to be really glad of in a year or five, as old characters and old stories will be referred to. That has happened with every "reboot" - too many people have too much invested in the older stories. The Legion of Super-Heroes had it worst, I think, because they could be rebooted without affecting most of the other stories, except to a varying degree those involving Superman/boy (Kal-El), Superboy (Conner Kent), or Supergirl.

More like 4.0. But eventually they will start bringing in old stories, and just say that this was another possible path in Hypertime, or some such. They can't turn their back on decades of character history forever.

"If they don't stop picking at it, it will never heal." - JMS on comic book continuity reboots (around the time of the Legion's ... 3rd? 4th? reboot)

Then you're a scumbag who has no place in civilized life. Criminals are to blame for their crimes, not their victims.
