They did that with the Final Fantasy film, and it sucked! It might have looked good enough but the characters barely showed emotion or reacted with their environment- making the film incredibly tedious to watch
The Bible IS shockingley violent- Cities destroyed, egyptian plagues, newborns being killed, women turned to salt etc. AND erotic- look at all that damn begatting! Which is precisly why it should be kept away from the kids;-)
These are all easy enough to use- as *individual* systems, Linux lacks real integration with it's multiple GUIs (and having so many only confu's the users in the first place), a problem that Windows does not have as it has pretty much been redesigned from the ground up to be a GUI OS. For Linux to take off on the desktop someone is going to have to put out a distribution with *less* options and a GUI with much tighter integration with the underlying OS so that the users don't need to use things like the CLI
Except the vast majority of shareholders are instituitons, such as pension providers and insurance companies, who have people on the books to know stuff about the companies in their portfolios and the issues surrounding them
and also because two smaller machines tuned to their individual roles are a lot cheaper than one big machine that performs the job to the same standard
Is being quite good enough for the PHB enough to satisfy your professional pride? Linux would hold computing back as much as Winows has if it were in a dominant position- enough with blind dogma, use your brain- it is what its there for
Haha, he's speaks out against the childish moderators and they slap him down- well I've got Karma to burn so hit me some more, or why don't you try discussing instead of marking my comments?
You're damn right, I', bored of Linux fanboys who are blind to all else- mind you could try posting a little calmer if you want to get through these guys' skulls
Damn right, computers are tools and you pick the best one for the job. Mac's make the best graphic design machines, BSD makes a good web server, Windows kicks ass at games- if you pick the wrong tool for the job, it's your problem. The problem with Linux and Linux users is that it wants to be the best at everything and just ends up being quite good at everything (except the games- they're pants)
considering the +mods for the parent comments (I hate Windows, MacOS/Linux rox!- very insightful...) I can't disagree with you, it's a shame this place is becoming so lame...
It's been shown in a number of countries under a variety of laws that abuses will happen. That's not to say that every policeman is evil and out to get you, but enough lazy or corrupt or incompetent enough to abuse their position.
Microwaves are themselves a form of radiation, in the ovens they stay 99% inside and don't reside in the food after cooking. Microwaves cook food because the waves 'excite' water molecules, so I really don't fancy our chances if this beam were to astray, being 70% water....
I also just graduated from an English university reading comp. sci. I think you're right on the history aspect, as far as 'trans-Windows' I think that depends on where you go- having said that in the six years I was at uni (I took an, uh, 'scenic' route through my education;-) I did see the uni become more and more window-centric. The uni I joined was focused on first principals (we had to program in pascal for a year, and not turbopascal or delphi or such, just basic pascal) to give us the tools to equip ourselves for any computing career- the basic learn to learn thing I guess. The uni I left was a lot more into 'tools that employers want to see', ie Windows NT/2000, SQL server, and so on- great for the first couple of years of your career while these tools are still being used but once they're superceded your stuck without first principals and the ability to figure out which tool is best for the job, why, and how to use them IMHO
As far as the history goes though, I suppose you are supposed to be interested in computing, and are supposed to do a lot of background reading, so I suppose it could be argued that you should have built up an amount by yourself...
That's right, you should feel dumb. I'm not l33t either, but you should know the history of your art for no other reason that to not repeat mistakes (and so as not to have to reinvent the wheel)
I doubt it, he never completed a machine- and the big one, the analytical engine (as opossed to the difference engine) never left the drawing board until a couple of years ago when some guys at the British Science Museum built it.
It's a shame sure, but like the article says- it's all down to people finding other ways to do it themselves rather than rely on somebody else. It would be nice if they gave advice to their existing nyms on how they might be able to maintain their privact though
That wouldn't have quite the same audio quality (it should be more than good enough though with a decent cable considering the quality of mp3s), unless an optical cable could be used. I'm not sure if an optical cable would prevent the copy protection 'features' though.

why not use it to create a totally new person?

pouring hot grits down your pants?
Dude,

yeah, but the replies have formed a discussion, not a flamewar, so it's not flamebait, so it's no troll

Informed debate used to be what made this place
What can I say, you didn't mention Linux 15 times- obviously not interesting enough on this lame site

It's quite possible to try bin Laden in an international court in his absence, why is America afraid to do this?

Surely this is anti-competetive behaviour? A smell a court case a comin'...
I'm pretty certain that quote was Newton himself after being refered to as a maths great or something

If anybody should have a trademark on this, it's Swift.
And since an author's copyright expires 70 (IIRC) years after his death the word is now in the public domain and should remain there.
