Whatcha talkin bout Willis?
Just a wild guess, but I'd say, point it at mars.... It's not that hard to find.
It has been doing reruns for a quite a while now. But I still read 'em.
This. Well, there's even better coffee than your examples, but Starbucks is by far the worst coffee ever.
The problem is the air inside the bag - it can have condensation issues too.
Personally, I think anybody who uses a free service as part of their way of doing business has a screw loose.
You are putting your business at the mercy of an organization that has no contractual reason to support you
FTFY.
If you have information that is to precious to lose, don't depend on a free service. Do it yourself or at least have the common sense to make the other party contractually obligated.
This. "DOM structure matters"
If you you are making an interactive or dynamic site, having good semantic markup is essential, and in any case, you'll have to peek at the source to wire it up. If you have to peek at it, why not just write it yourself?
Once you learn your text editor well (I prefer subliime text 2) you can probably code faster than the design tools anyway. The only thing I might want a design tool for is simply for finding the color scheme I want.
Same goes for 3d photos, the future is likely to use more stereo photography so take a picture with 2 cameras next to each other of the same type. I use two iphones and tap the shutters simultanously a few times to see if I can get a match.
Stereo photography has been around for a very long time, and you can even get consumer digital cameras now that have two lenses and take 3d pictures and movies that can be played on 3d tvs. My dad has been a fan of 3d long before the current trend - I grew up in the 80's looking at 3d pictures through special viewers. And of course, last time I saw him, he was holding a 3d digital camera...
Shooting a 'movie' in 48fps is like shaking a dreamer awake and shouting in their face, "The dream is over!!"
This is how I felt when I first saw Star Wars on a big HD screen... It suddenly looks like bad actors sitting inside a cheap set saying cheesy lines. The increased detail took away the ability of the imagination to add the depth to the scene, and left it with something far more shallow.
Given the fact that they gave a Nobel to Obama, I think the measurement of Nobels granted as a metric is rather suspect.
For once I wash I had done the more common slashdot action and NOT read the article. How do people manage to become lawyers while maintaining the maturity of a preteen girl? (and by that I reference the ability to hold a meaningless grudge and carry it out to all kinds of extremes)
Yeah, stuff happens. Stop whining, people.
Yeah, anyone who has actually had formal music training should know that. Maybe that explains the current state of music.
And don't forget that the initial "7 hour" battery life is also BS if you're doing anything more demanding than staring at a static web page with the screen at minimum brightness.
And that's probably part of my problem - I am a web application developer and use the heck out of my systems. Server class stuff, development, editors, email, browsers... graphics programs.. virtual machines... That sucks a battery down fast.
I love my first gen MBP, it has served me well. But it has gone through 3 batteries, and I need to order another one now. (They bulge out and die)
The nearest Apple store is an hour and a half away. If I can't order an inexpensive battery and replace it myself, then.... I'm not going to buy the laptop. So long Apple. Great product, until you you started screwing us.
