In that case I would say it's been so long I forgot it.

I would say going through the process of building up your dreadlocks is what makes them appear unprofessional.

So, if I feel successful, content, well paid, respected I should leave my job? I don't think so!

So, now BeOS is owned by HP?

It's kind of like the online version of "Who's Who" that is sent to graduates, professionals, scholars, etc.

Are you going to contest that?

To me it looked like Apple would scrap OS 9 for BeOS, but after Steve Jobs came back it was forgotten. I remember playing around with BeOS at the time and thought it was pretty fun, though I don't know much about it. Is it UNIX based? Has it gone anywhere since?

So, we can assume there will be nothing worth reading on TechCrunch tomorrow.

I can't stand Apple's iDevice ports. They are wide, difficult to plug, and feel like they will break or snap off. They also collect lint like there is no tomorrow.

Apple's magnetic power plugs on the other hand are awesome! I suppose magnetic interference prevents them from becoming a digital port, but it sure would be nice!

I can't say I agree with Mr. Einstein on this one.

My oldest boy (he is ten) just finished reading his first novel, which for him was quite an accomplishment. What my wife and I noticed after he finished the book was his writing skills improved significantly.

Ah, I should have just Googled it. That being said, 402,370 years makes it sound even more far fetched.

Voyager 2 (man's fastest space craft) is traveling 35,000 miles per hour / 60 = 583 miles per second.

187,000 miles per second equals the speed of light.

Light can travel 57,395,520,000,000 miles in one year (roughly 5.7 trillion miles).

So, in 21 years that would equal 57,395,520,000,000 miles x 21 years, or roughly 120 trillion miles.

Thus, if Voyager 2 was our space craft we'd have 583 miles per second x 60 seconds x 60 minutes x 24 hours x 365 days x 21 years to get 386,095,248,000 billion miles towards our new planet.

There is a huge gap between 386 billion and 120 trillion miles, like 311 times.

That means it would take us roughly 310 x 21 years = 6528 years to get there using current technology.

I just don't see us going there as being very practical.

EDIT: I'm getting down voted for doing the math! Seriously?

Feel free to correct my math

You can't win unless you play the game!

It's already hacked according to Gizmodo. Now, if we could get 10.1 flash integration (meaning Frash) past beta 0.2 towards something useful we'd all be smiles.

It seems they are still fighting for control through the web browser, and its a strategy ingrained into their very core. I would think they would do everything possible to protect their cash cows (office + os) and limiting browser functionality to the least common denominator (IE) is the easier way.

I don't see how you could run apps on an AppleTV with no touch interface, different screen resolution, and no HD space. Am I missing something?

I think there good business in helping other people make money, or at least attempt to make money.

That's an interesting point. Here we are on "Hacker News" after all. I wonder if this site's name draws in the dishonest.

On a whim I tried psd2html because I was under a crunch, and guess what? The quality of the markup was fantastic, so now I use them often.

To me Bing sounds too much like "bling". Does anyone else have that silly word association stuck in their head?

"How often can any company be able to produce game-changing devices?"

It seems Apple has a consistent track record for doing just that:

Intel / Bootcamp, Mac Mini, Newton, iLife, PowerBooks, The Macintosh GUI (okay, Xerox had it first), iMacs, OSX (Unix for the masses), iPod (Shuffle, Nano, iTouch, iPad, iPhone), iTunes store, Apple II, and so on....

You actually feel they have nothing left up their sleeve? With a record like that I don't think I'd bet against them.

Love has many meanings, yes. If love is a stretch for you (or does not come naturally) at least try your best to respect their mother, treat her kindly, speak well of her, support her the best you can, and encourage her. These simple steps will do more for a child than you might realize - I don't care what the media says, parenting is really a team effort.

I used to call them "Ballbuster" due to their late fee policy. They were worse than taking out a loan from the the mafia, and eventually I started to avoid them in favor of Netflix where I could return the DVD when it was convient for me.

Now that was fun, thanks. I find it annoying that I am taught to spell a certain way, but then the British keep reinventing spellings with "s" instead of "z" and adding an "i" in there just Americans on their toes.

The most important thing you can do for your child is love their mom.

Good thing it wasn't over state lines. I had done some sleuthing on a fellow that took 2.4K from me, had his name, bank info, dad's name, city - nearly the works. The local police wouldn't get involved since I was out of state, and the FBI wouldn't get involved because the crime totals of this individual wasn't over 10K. That was several years ago and I just moved on, but I remember feeling that justice was for the rich. At the time, 2.4K was a lot of money to me.

From the many articles you see online, you'd think HTML5 was doing circles around Flash. It appears those statements are becoming less and less true, and even if this test isn't a 100% apples to apples comparison it is nice to see Flash performing well on a mobile.

Both of these technologies are in early stages of development (yes, Flash is mature on the desktop). I think in 1-2 years there will be less of a debate for which one is superior and just accept them for the content they provide.

It would be interesting to see this with migration rate, too.
