Considering IE 9 still doesn't support many of the CSS3 features including animation, yes, it is broken just like IE 6.

Voodoo? Check boxes. You specify what syncs with check boxes next to the song.

We live in the future; let the computer do the work.

And who do you think created the system?

What exactly is the allure behind the MacBook Air?

It's fast for its form factor, build quality, battery life, and price.

It simply displays colors more accurately.

This is downright false. A matte screen is nothing more than a glossy screen with a diffuse layer on top of it. The rough surface diffuses the ambient light, washing over the pixels and obfuscating their true color information.

Besides, when many TV's, phones, computers, and tablets have glossy screens, why calibrate for matte?

Now, if the ultimate content will be displayed by a projector, then yes, a matte screen is closer to the final medium.

You're not factoring everything. Unibody enclosure, the best track pad, custom batteries, small tolerances, screen quality, etc...

If you're just looking for a plastic box that you can shove a CPU and GPU into, then yes, that's going to be cheaper.

This was true before electricity. Now? Not even close.

NO! Every group of people has bad apples. All of them.

What separates police in today's society is that they don't don't purge the bad ones. They get paid vacation for abusing their power. They protect their kind first and are objective second. Police do not have external investigations when problems arise unlike other aspects of government, and that's a HUGE problem.

Police want respect? Do like Germany and give harsher sentences for officers that break the law. Break the blue code of silence, and stop protecting "your own kind".

First of all, it wouldn't be doubling. Second, you should take into account the health repercussions and reduction of quality of life from a poor diet.

Third... how many of these people have $60 cable or satellite packages?

wingnut21

Yes. I might have this wrong, but you're in favor of removing the animation that shows where the app and desktop are in relation to each other?

wingnut21

How would one know where the desktop went, and where the full screen app is in relation to the other desktops?

wingnut21

What would you name the iPad?

someone who's concerned with trend/fashion and doesn't appreciate the art/idea.

Our rant is that many people getting tattoos today seem to fit this bill.

Bro's with tribal or barbed wire tattoos, hipsters with something on their chest, sorority girls with something on their foot, and tramps with a stamp on their back are all examples of fad tattoos.

Your sense of drinking normalcy is way off.

Also, if you want to write about alcohol and paleo, look into tequila and gin.

Chrome's full screen mode isn't true full screen yet. It just operates in "kiosk mode".

Full screen is moving the app to its own dedicated desktop. Instead of the senseless blinking of Chrome's old-style full screen, an app moves to its own dedicated desktop and hides the menu bar.

You're not getting screwed by cost of living if you take advantage of what your city has to offer. High cost = desirable.

If you plan to be inside quite a lot and are married, then this is a good resource.

sophomore albums usually are a stark improvement over debut albums for a number of reasons

That works.

Animation is about giving physical truths to GUI's. Things just appearing and disappearing doesn't really happen in nature, so it can be disjointing.

The new window animation is probably right on that line, but like iOS apps starting up, it infers arriving, growing towards completion from nothing, and a transition to something new.

wingnut21

How would you change the fullscreen transition animation?

There isn't. Jewish people make up (generously) 2% of the population.

It's easy to assume that Jewish people make up a substantial portion of who politicians pay attention to, however. It shows who their true constituents are.

Never claimed that women weren't as responsible.

Saying that doesn't erase what the following infers:

If men were highly-motivated to protect themselves then STD infection rates would be going down.

You should have said "people" if you truly meant it as gender-neutral. But you didn't. It was intentional. And sexist.

This is a discussion board, silly man. People come here to, you know, discuss shit. If you aren't up for it, then move along.

Wups, you forgot to say what that point exactly is. The "are you worried?" part was a rhetorical question to spark something of a cohesive reason why this is in any way a bad idea. I'm still waiting.

wingnut21

Seriously. I didn't know people liked clipart so much.

The guy had some real talent but honestly he was just a junkie.

Pick one.
