I hope that today's stars are bright enough to trademark/copyright (I've no idea which) their images and 'style' such that Hollywood will not be able to create digital versions and continue on their merry way without the bothersome nonsense

Actually given the image you want to sculpt the rest of the work is 'knocking away the parts that don't belong'. This often takes most of the time in the overall process. There is also the matter of mounting the piece. This can take from ze

For those who prefer radio, try WFMT out of Chicago---be warned, it is classical 24x7, but chosen and DJed by the best in the business. Easily available as iTunes->radio-> Classical->WFMT. As a change of pace, 5 hours of folk mu

Tough call---part of me says that they blew it off while the rest of me says they put the information to work (as best as they were able) In any event I doubt they got back to him...

If by 'here' you mean HN comments and text bodies, I'd support that 100%. While many would go over-board, I think that the communication quota would increase given better looking communication.

"Finely-woven textiles"---this tells me you know very little about the last 150 years of weaving technology. We no longer have such a thing and have not had since the 20th century. The last looms capable of doing that kind of work hit the s

Are we sure that this isn't the same guy who just attacked Amazon? His arguments are equally off point and equally worthless. And that is without taking into account that the arguments come from the side that is losing! I no more think that

Perhaps I missed it in the gray text, but when does the free trial expire?

Seems to me that programmers cause memory management failures, not languages. But I suppose that this is similar to arguments about guns killing people etc.

As I slip on my typographic curmudgeon's hat, I have to ask where are the printer's ornaments? Can you set a chess diagram with anything in Google web fonts? Don't think we've quite arrived yet...

How do all of you 60+ folk manage it? It has my age off by 20 years---got the sex right but not even close on the age. Wonder if there is a button I can push to as Kirk would say 'Make is so'?

Same thing (I think---it is not clear from the email I got) happened to the Anatomy class I signed up for. That at least had a date (March sometime; I forget) assigned to it. Sort of makes you wonder what is going on behind the curtains?

Not what I'd call 'New'---these have been around for a while and depending on you needs do quite well. I prefer XeTeX because as one of the answers said, 'fonts just work'.

I seem to remember that some time in the 80's or 90's, (could have been earlier) that the FEDs finally made the connection between injection wells on (I think) haz-mat sites and tremors in Denver. The comparison between that and Ohio's curr

Don't much care about links that are not broken---do care about links that ARE broken. Need some way to create a list of such and then down load the list. Like the interface and the look and feel---good work, keep going!

WFMT from iTunes Classical Radio. Or cycle through my favorites list on my iPod, it is about 3.2 days long so the repeat factor is not annoying.

If you want to play with the current version, try: http://www.oberon.ethz.ch/downloads/index I am fascinated with languages old and new and might well give this one a shot just to see what is going on. Note that the above is current, not

While the current version of Ubuntu is trashed by many, its usability is no longer an issue---as near as I can tell the argument is what it looks like with a few quibbles over changes to some standard utilities---the app installer used to a

I wonder if it would also make a difference if Google arranged to censor all of the supporting members of the House and Senate. It shouldn't take long for at least their aides to get the message in a particularly realistic way. For my .02 w

If I could wave my putative magic wand (hazel with ebony trim) I would hope for a small box of these in an arrangement that allowed a flat cable to attach to an existing x86 box. This way I could rehabilitate older (if not wiser) hardware t

Good stuff! Along with Saupe and Pietgen, his landscapes (fractals rendered in 3D) gave me a necessary fix as needed. Nice to see him back in to it.

The 93% mentioned is far beyond the expectations of most. Prior to the 20th century (at least in the upper class) a child was taught every thing from Greek and Latin to water color painting without regard to 'talent'. Examine the life of Ad

What works for one may not work for others. There have been just as many (if not more) 'ah-ha' moments while interacting with others as in isolation. I've also noticed that creativity can create it's own isolation. World tends to go away wh

In 1975 (I think...) Boise State University upgraded the memory for their IBM 370 from one megabyte to two! The board in question was two feet by 14 inches or so. All of the hardware types in the back room were extremely proud of the new 't

I noticed that the second attempt had more accuracy than the first since I was able to see a similar character (white rook) and then modify my crude drawing to eliminate extra information that was adding white noise to the search. Nice work
