If they were to be brothers, although I prefer to think of them as grandfather and child, then Albrecht is the elder and better. Albert lost his way with his morals. They are of course the same man with the same name, only in different languages.
Perhaps you are right. Perhaps Albert is the bizarro Albrecht. How curious to become your own bizarro self.
If the US wants to keep its Imperial measures then let it.
The day will come when there are only two nations (three if you count Melchizebek) which don't use metric measures. They will be Burma and America. It's not a problem though (I'm not joking now). I grew up with Imperial and then had to change to metric. They are both comfortable to me but metric is infinitely easier to use. Especially with percentages. What is 12.5% of two miles five yards and seven and half inches? Metric wins every time but change hurts and the US is grown soft.
I went to the US once, Anchorage, it is the most beautiful place I ever saw. Cold though.
Albrecht Einstein once thought that the amount of input that Jews contributed to scientific thought in Germany and Austria would make Jews accepted in mainstream Germanic society.
Now that Cassini is so close that it can't take a photo that includes all of Saturn I think it is a good time to start paying more attention to the photos coming back.
This is one probe that promises so much that I have decided to enjoy the anticipation and appreciate the photos as they return, slowly and beautifully.
Saturn is the dream planet after all, all those rings, all that mystery. I can't say that I would like to live in orbit around it though.
I can fit my entire porn collection onto one floppy. The collection consists of a single picture, goat sex man, and I only keep that to send to people who need to be told that they are a pain in the backside.
Well done and very funny but sadly the wrong joke. How about:
We welcome our new IT OverLord!
The buffoon is gone and now we will see what someone with malice aforethought can do, no more crazy ball, this is going to be knives in the night from here on.
I have actually read Miklos Nyiszli's account of being sent to the concentration camp, being selected by Mengele as his assistant and the work that he did.
It involved a lot more than autopsies on the people experimented on. I think that the two worst parts of his job were 1: Selecting Jews with physical deformities, having them killed and then boiling off the meat from their bones so that their skeletons could be put into a museum to prove Ayrian superiority - all the while arranging that the emprisoned didn't eat the stew. 2: Doing the autopsies on the remains of the Zonderkommando that rebelled and who were taken into the woods and flamethrowered to death.
It was said when the phrase 'paperless office' first became popular that: "We will get the paperless office when we get the paperless toilet" - meaning never.
Well now they have paperless toilets in Japan (they wash and blow dry! lol) but I am unaware of any paperless office anywhere. By fiddling with fonts and using a very good monitor I have managed to get reading of the screen to a comfortable level but paper is still the best for large amounts. My wife even asks me to print out emails for her to save her having to walk to the monitor! LOL.
The paperless office isn't coming anytime soon but the paperless toilet may be here sooner than we expect.
Everyone is waiting for IBM to deal the killing blow to SCO but IBM is a company with its own interest foremost and its own agenda.
Now is the time that the Open Source community needs to defend itself on its own. This is a lightweight attack so use it as a way to organise before a heavyweight attack comes - as it is sure to do.
In those days security was a different thing altogether (I am talking about when WFW 3.11 was released). I would not have included any random data into anything encrypted that I wrote back then because literally gigabytes would have been needed to make use of any supposed weakness. Well now the gigabytes are here and cheap and the shit is going to hit the fan.
It is obvious now that it has been shown up in the light but it wasn't obvious back when MS made windows a networking environment.
My opinion is that this is going to be a harrycarry day for Microsoft. There is no getting around this little lack of prescience.
Perhaps planetary systems evolving in dense star populations are significantly different to the solar system.
Perhaps extragallactic planetary systems are significantly different to gallactic systems.
There is no 'normal' until we have a real comparison. These extra solar giants are fascinating but are only 'visible' to us because of their size. My personal view is that for any planetary system to support technology and intelligence (preferably in the same species, lol) would have to have a gas giant to hoover up the junk within the system.
Are you old enough to remember the surprises that planetary weather brought to us? I look for nothing less from our extrasolar kin. Those planets will knock the socks off us once we know about them properly.
I write and have recently taken up painting. My wife is a graphic designer.
If you make it then you are the copyright holder. If you make it for someone else you are still the copyright holder but the person who contracted you can use your work as the contract states. If you are employed then your work belongs to your employer.
I would imagine that most musical artists hold the copyright to their own music. If they wrote the music then they own it twice.
That said, the companies are big and know how to steamroll.
I am a Sonyphile from the 1970s and Sony have never let me down until just recently.
I wanted to buy a Norah Jones CD but was told that it was recorded on one of the CDs that weren't recorded to the CD format and that killed Macs if played on them. My wife uses Mac so I checked and had it confirmed.
Now no Sony product enters our house be it camera, CD or movie. They are good products but they are no longer trustworthy the way that they were.

I remember when that was the norm. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
boyhood has great attraction for Arthur. It is very strange to see him glorified for his writing while his actions go uncommented.

All those cows around the world and all being flatulent - everyone knows that methane is a much better greenhouse gas than CO2!
What about 1994 when we all used to work together?
Are evolving or degenerating? Some days I just want to turn off my net connection altogether and this is one of them.

It is probably the best system that I have come across yet. Easy to remember and quite secure.

It is a good habit.

I realise that it is a stupid question but I would like to know the answer.
Obviously a star is luminous and a planet isn't but even a planet like jupiter emits more energy than it receives.
As to what is luminous and what isn't.. well most people think of the visible spectrum but that is just because we judge visibility that way.
So, when does a planet become a binary companion?

Don't throw away those backups, nor the machinery that you backed them up on.
In 200 years time the 'West' will be where Iraq is now and the Chinese will be saying "I am SO glad that we didnt' get involved".
I am joking, btw.
Opera 7.10 on Win 2k just gave a blank page leaving the other pages up and running no matter what identification I set it to.
