If only someone could prove that pi is a normal number, then we could argue that pi contains any finite length of e. Not only that, all finite length songs would be noncopyrightable. The only song you could claim was original is the one that never ends!
Things I have done on Windows in the last two years (excluding things that I did just because of my proximity to a Windows box, i.e. things I normally do on Linux) are as follows: Broken parts of Windows by doing something that shouldn't break Windows. Fixed Windows. Printed. (too cheap to buy another $30 printer that likes Linux more than mine does) Synced iPhone with my music library. (don't judge; I'm a sucker for screen resolution) Broken it again -- nope that was a feature. Updated and rejailbroken iPhone. (too lazy to make redsn0w work on linux) Used a handful of opensource programs that weren't in the Gentoo tree once or twice. (again laziness)
In short iTunes, printing on an old printer, and keeping my main OS clean are the only reasons I use it. It's funny that an Apple product is the last thing keeping me from not using Windows altogether.
Right now I'm typing on a refurbished Lenovo T61p. It is practically the only laptop available with 1920x1200. It's sad they don't make that resolution anymore. I hate to admit my brother was right about Thinkpads being the best available (unless you have loads of cash). I agree wholeheartedly now. Even Gentoo Linux was relatively easy to set up on it. Usually there are one or two major kinks to deal with.
Furthermore, I must add that any energy obtained from tidal activity would take energy from the Earth-moon system. Hence it would in fact *slow* the Earth in relationship to the moon and thus reign in the moon. The effect in the end would be that the moon moves away from the Earth more slowly. Eventually this would cause the moon to come toward the Earth.
Here I was thinking that the wii balance board was designed as a souped-up version of a physical therapy device. Physical therapists have used simple balance boards for decades. It shouldn't take four years, people. Props to the Shriners for getting stuff done.
Honestly, I can't understand why a fat ELF would be need. Just wrap a small shell script around two or more binaries. All it would have to do is detect the OS (uname anyone?) and unpack the right segment. It is messier, somewhat, but it works.
Ah yes, blame the fact that they ran a program on an open source operating system. It looks to me like the software that ran the surgical operation wasn't open source at all. It seems it was all closed source software that was doing anything except running the computers.
Although I am a bit lost; I don't seem to remember when Microsoft went into the medical field.
There are a lot of programmers here. Could we at least get a flippin semicolon? We would get it, and my brain won't have to hurt. Furthermore, what happened to the ampersand?! Seriously this is comma abuse.
This question simply is false. Math is neither discovered nor invented: It is applied.
What is invented is the structure. The symbol + means something, and that was invented. Digits as well are an invention, but there are uses for these structures.
What is discovered is the uses. People don't just make things like integral mathematics up off the top of their head. It is a slow and often painful discovery.
Math itself is the constructive use of numbers to describe things. It is the application of equality, functions, and funny letters to explain numeric principals.
No, that isn't evil. Mean spirited, Maybe, but it is hardly even mildly sadistic. No, downtime should involve convincing the person with a close deadline that their almost complete report is a virus. Then, go on to convince them that they have to delete it with a screwdriver or the company could lose thousands of computers. Before you do that, it hardly counts as funny, let alone evil.
Real hackers always browse by IP! Ha! You missed something. Hackers have no need to browse; they can simply wget all pages individually and manually render them.
Personally, I say file extensions are plain unnecessary. Off with the extension only really need for Windows and broken/old operating systems. And I don't think it is logical to replace the firmware. If you know enough to do that, why not buy a large hard drive and make a real file-server?
If you have read anything on the physical nature of the eye, you should come across three rather important things about how it sees. One being that there are (in the average non- colorblind/tetrachromic human eye) four light receptors: A red, blue, and green cone and a contrast sensitive rod. Second, if my memory serves me, the rod cell can detect down to a single photon while the cones are around 6 times less sensitive. Third that the rod is most sensitive to green and if this bias is reflected in the fourth pixel, it would help red and blue areas not look brighter in the image than the original subject. When you make a device to store an image, I would assume it should collect the same sort of information that the eye would. In response to the previous post, however, the fourth, unfiltered pixel would decrease color resolution by 1/4 but it would be negligible because of the sensitivity of the rods. This is one of the ways they shrink the high definition movies. In that case they scrap 3/4 of the color resolution and with little perceived difference.

Isss'a mirrracl! *hic*
I was hoping someone would do something like that. I hope that server can handle some traffic.
Anyone esle wish that one of the whales in the sky was a flower pot thinking to itself "not again"? (HHGttG)
Hey! Now I'm craving some salty corned beef hash.

I must comment that, from what I understand, DSL does chop some code from the standard Debian binaries and compiles for small size.
