This should be a great advantage to large server farms when configuring them, now can just have a serial connection to each of them and setup the bios and such that way, should be much faster than having a videocard in each case.
As a joke i heard at one time put so aptly: One day a group of scientists got together and decided that humans had come a long way and no longer needed God. So they picked one scientist to go and tell God so.
The scientist walked up to God and said, "God, we've decided that we no longer need you; We're to the point that we can clone people and do many miraculous things, so why don't You just go on and get lost."
God listened very patiently and kindly to the man. After the scientist was done talking, God said, "Very well, how about this? Let's say we have a man-making contest." To which the scientist replied, "Okay, great!"
"But," God added, "we're going to do this just like I did back in the old days with Adam."
The scientist said, "Sure, no problem" and bent down and grabbed himself a handful of dirt.
God looked at him and said, "No, no, no. You go get your own dirt." end
So until we can create matter from pure energy, being God-like isnt a question
the perfect place to live imnho would be oregon, it may be dull, it may be full of retires, and it may have more than it's share of stoners, but damn if the weather isnt nice, especially in southern oregon, my area.
"Well most non-Americans think it distinctly odd that if you have a glass of wine with your parents at dinner under the age of 21 you are both guilty of breaking the law. Most other countries have age restrictions on purchasing alcohol (usually 16 or 18) but certainly not on consuming it."
Actually if i recall correctly, the US has the same rule, you cannot buy alcohol until 21(highly stupid imho) but it is quite legal to get completely wasted at home, with parental consent, thus a glass of wine at the table is legal... it gets into a grey area when you go to another family's home and drink though.
if i remember correctly the vet forgot to take into account brain size in proportion to bodymass and measured out a dosage for bodymass, which put the elephant into seizures
