True enough, but to be honest I wouldn't doubt for a second that fox will continue to bump Futurama episodes this season like they did a dozin times during the airing of season 3. They'll find some excuse... Their is always some sport event going down in the world.. Hey, we got the olympics coming up, I'm sure they can find something there:).
You know, the prime objective of terrorism is to spread terror. I've heard it several times on the news, that terrorist will not succeed in "terrorizing" America. But, seems to me, they have. These new foolish laws that are stealing people civil rights, liberties and freedom. And many people agree to them, and allow them,. Why? Cause they are terrorfied, scared.
Sounds to me like the terrorists in a way succeeded in what they wanted.
Hey, he's changed that article so it could at least be a bit serious, check out the original one
here from last week. It includes among other things flame bate such as:
The real shame is that Gnome once had a great reason to exist, but cleaning it up now seems like a waste of energy. GNOME was born because a terrific Linux desktop called KDE looked as though it would help Linux give Windows a run for its money. Many open-source developers protested that KDE was based on the C++ Qt graphical toolkit because Qt was not true open source at first.
Do it or don't do it.

Personally I believe that cloning to keep a species alive shouldn't be done just because it is dying out.
I think that one should allow cloning, if we can now for sure that the animal in the spotlight would have avoided extinction without human interference.
Animals like Apes and that sort, I would disagree with cloning because they just do not have the capabilities to survive.
I say let Darwinism take its path, without human interfernce... Ofcourse, that doesn't mean that we have the right to kill off a dozen species, but extinction is just a part of nature... If we keep on ressurecting dead species, evolution won't continue the way it is suppose too. As we know, extinction has might give uprise to new animals, that's why we are here you know:).
Yes, and we are never going to land on the moon either....

Who knows maybe in ten/twenty years our perception of space maybe completely altered... It has happened severeal times before.
Examples:
Theory Of Relativity
Big Bang
So saying we will never travel through space is being a bit pessismistic. I for one believe that I won't experience it in my life, but I do think my children or there childrens children will.
Didn't they find this out a long time ago, when Galileo flew by Europa and picked up strong magnetic flucuations.
I think I remember reading a press release at NASA about this was enough evidence to "support" the theory that there is oceans beneath Europas surface.
Hmm, the name N-Cube for some odd reason reminds me of The Borg on Star Trek and that Cube they had...
Let me guess, the Nintendo Club membership card included, offers you to join the "collective"...
This contredicts every thing I've learnt (not that I am saying it is impossible, the theory of relativity contredicted everything classic physics said). According to what I know, when calculating speed relativly, it is impossible to go above the speed of light, here is the reason why I can't figure it out: 1/((1-(v^2/c^2)^0.5) When you go above the speed of light, v^2 becomes larger than c^2, giving you a negative number within a squareroot, how would you get past this?
The gravity probe mission idea, to test relativity has been around for a while. I remember reading the article in Science Illustrated back in early 99. Anyways, I also found a link to official site for Gravity Probe mission.
I've probably misunderstood this, but didn't they test General Relativity about 80 years ago, during a solar eclipse were everyone was measuring a predicted result (with classic physics), but got the relativ result?
Well, I started with Pascal, well actually simple scripting, but I don't look at that as programming (at least not what I did). Anyways, Pascal was easy to learn, worked well, but when my programs got more complex, it was the worse possible programming language (TP7). When it comes to your kids, I'd recommend to start on the "mainstream" language, C. That way they'll learn the most common programming language, and I wish I had started off with it. Although, printf("Hello, World"); seems quite boring, the language suddenly gets more exciting when you actually start to do something that creates an interaction between you (your kids) and the computer, something like fgets or scanf. I'm sure your kids will love to create small programs that ask for your name, or something like that, and then returns a string "%s, what an ugly name". Well, I hope you get my point.... teaching them something they might not need, but can use might actually slow down their development in other areas (I'm not saying it WILL happen, I'm just saying it happened to me).
Oh Wormholes... a step closer to deep space 9, but still far far away. Anyways, I wouldn't choose Alpha Centauri for a vacation, isn't that a wannabe real star, aka a brown dwarf? I'd think I'd go to Beta Pictoris or something like that.
Useally when I am coding, I prefere to listen to classic music, but if I am coding a demo or an intro, I useally listen to "techo"-type music because that is the type music the demo/intro will be using.

Hehe, who's up for looking for a locating a AL_KEY somewhere in the Windows binary jungle :).

I once helped a script-kiddie with his Windows (I fixed it, thus enabling him to pursue more havoc).
Guess I'm a terrorist as well then.Better find a place to hide.

Personally I believe this will be a nice addition for people doing Sky Surveys... The more we can see, the more we will know and find out.
