And it's not like it's illegal but folk do it anyway -- I have never, ever seen someone do that in my state.

To whomever changed the title to eliminate the phrase "new physics": that wasn't in any way sensational or editorial. This is a common phrase within the physics community. From the…

And what is a virtual mirror, I ask?

I don't see that Yahoo called it that.

Ok, but why are you replying to me about this? I was trying to address kondro's obvious confusion about mikeknoop's point, not pass judgement on anyone in the article.

At this point you are so deliberately ignoring what the conversation is even about that I think you must be a troll. Well, I hope you're a troll. The alternative is too depressing.…

The point of a patent is that you must disclose the method in return for a limited monopoly. It's to encourage the sharing of techniques!

What the fuck have people in this thread been drinking? It could be harassment if they'd had sex a hundred times, or no times, if they'd been married, or if they'd never met before…

To be blunt, you have no idea what you're talking about here.

That would be a great game to port to the web.

> "[We are] flattening surfaces, removing reflections, and scaling back distracting gradients." That sounds nice. I think the Mac OS is a little bit too shiny as well. And I never …

I think Ubuntu's monospace font has true italic? (I'm not a font expert, though.) http://font.ubuntu.com/#charset-mono-regular-italic

I'd be completely comfortable with calling that malware.

It has to request it on install if it is ever going to use it at all.

>Doubtful. Not unless they're a STEM or Finance major. You're just wrong about this. Introductory calc classes are some of the larger classes offered at a lot of universities.

I had this pop up today, the wording was pretty misleading. In my case not activating Secure By Visa let me proceed with the transaction normally, but they certainly tried to imply…

That's odd, 2.8 was clearly available when I viewed that page. Maybe you just had an old version cached? They only seem to offer links to 2.8 for Snow Leopard and Lion, so that cou…

They've discussed this from the very beginning of the project -- third party hosting. The goal of diaspora is to make it so that you can run it on your own server, but they assume …

It is extremely meaningful if you, you know, actually consider the context of this thread -- which is not someone telling an artist to use GIMP, but a discussion of "fixing up" the…

You should check that statement again! http://gimp.lisanet.de/Website/Download.html The official 2.8 release was what, a week ago? I don't think it's a big deal if it comes out on …

Of course Mozilla doesn't like how Apple behaves on iOS devices! Do you honestly think they do, or were you just trying to be provocative?

Anna Anthropy has an older blog article about exactly that: http://www.auntiepixelante.com/?p=465

And of course the designers of Portals did extensive testing to get feedback on what worked! Those brilliant designs weren't plucked out of thin air, but came from watching how rea…
