Well, that frigging figures. Chalk up another victory for the terrorists. It was probably pulled because of the side caution to pour the LOX on after placing the lit match on top of the stack (if you were so inclined as to risk your life in such an obviously hazardous manner by imitating them). They went on to explain that if you let the LOX soak in first and then applied the match, each briquette would be equivalent to a stick of TNT...
*sigh* Got halfway into a nice rant about the right to think before backing up here. It doesn't matter. The forces of ignorance will always win in the end.
What, the movie or the Buddhism? I've got it on pretty good authority that Buddhism was around much earlier than Descartes (can't speak to Plato, but I don't think there was a lot of cross-pollination between East and West that far back).
I think the quiestion is fairly universal to those who have enough capacity to sit down and think about it... No reason I can't be both Eastern and Western at the same time.
Thanks for clearing that up... I was about to google for this. I consider myself to be an amateur expert on military tech, but that acronym had me scratching my head...
Skip that. I already am moving it while sitting here. Unless you're a Flat-Earther, it's pretty plain that Mt. Fuji is in fact moving in 3-space relative to any arbitrarily point outside the Earth's surface.
Therefore, by bringing this point up, I've effectively moved the mountain.
Yes, I am the center of the Universe. Move along... *grin*
I'll believe it doesn't bother you when you answer the questions posed to you.
THAT's the point. If you don't wish to answer highly personal questions in a public forum, then what makes you think we want to have what we consider to be just as personal information at the beck and call of someone who's has a monetary incentive (read salary) to bust anything that looks like a terrorist?
"OTOH, if they BRING CHARGES against me, I get to know everything that they know about me. This is a constitutionally protected right, and the PATRIOT act can't touch it."
Unless the thomgs they've got against you are "classfiied", in which case you get to know jack of shit. National Security, you know.

Beautiful... I notice you stopped short of speculating on the implantation site. *shivers*
"The optimized code should provide (and require) the same interface (and semantics) as the optimized code."
I should certainly hope so... *grin*
I know what you were trying to say... Just couldn't resist.
Oh boy, you sure asked for it...
A little cartoon entitled "Yes"...
Offtopic? Maybe. Graphically humorous? Hell yeah.
I put some thought into it... I'd have called up goatse.cx as the last thing before exiting. Talk about leaving an unwelcome surprise in the toilet...

I used to Scorch a lot... Then I discovered the Death's Head/Vertical Guidance combo and it lost any semblance of challenge.
That's the first thing that popped into my head... *chuckle* Although I do happen to enjoy techno.
"I was beginning to think that Hollywood was trying to tell us something about our reality..."
..?
What, "We control everything you see and hear. Here, have some steak. You can't get that just anywghere..."
Sounds pretty consistent to me.

Re your sig:

Heh. Wanna scrim? Sounds like you're at my skill level...
Phonesexually-transmitted diseases. Better watch out, the person on the other side of the line might have hearing AIDS...

What was that quote?
"If voting actually changed anything, it'd be illegal."
I don't know who said it, though.
So if I have the urge to tell my boss where to stick it, I can hand him one of these?
"Tell ya what. Here. Stick it up your ass."
I've only got an m515, looks like this sucker will only work on a Tungsten or Clie.
Drat.
Point. Probably waaaaaaaay out of my price range, though. The premiums on BSOD compensation would be murderous.
So... Where can I buy "Crappy Software Insurance"?
Take your time, I'll be here all week...

Was going to make a similar comment myself... Glad I did a "Find" before making a monkey of myself. *chuckle*
I'm ok as long as nobody uses "Kofi Annan". I've been playing CS under that tag for over a year... Why, you ask? Linkage
Nothing like a little peacekeeping to reduce stress levels... (Or raise them, depending on how badly I'm getting trounced...)
D'oh! I should have made that connection myself... That's one of my favorite movies.
Sadly, It's slowly becoming a documentary instead of a work of fiction...
*chuckle* I happen to be fond of 113440, myself... Ah, the fun that can be had with a mere pocket calculator.
