I first played AD&D in the early 80s. The name "Gygax" was awe-inspiring for me at the time. To this day the whole medieval-style of game is my preference in video games: the Thief series, Oblivion, etc.
Modern primates, including humans, evolved from a common ancestor. That tired line "Why are there still monkeys?!" is just fucking retarded. Of course you're free to present any actual evidence supporting your position...
They aren't thinking of the students if they teach fairy tales. Any teacher outside of a Sunday school teaching mysticism should have their teaching papers revoked.
How much do you want to bet that the fundies will try their hardest to outlaw this research because in their view HIV is God's punishment for homosexual behavior?
This research is being conducted in Canada. The religious kooks have far less power there than they do down south in JesusLand.
whenever they seize some methamphetamine or cocaine, it's always "street value estimated as 20 billion dollars!"
They use the smalled unit of sale and work from that. It sounds better when they take the gram price of pot and apply that against a 200 kg seizure when everyone with a quarter of a brain knows that the 200 would be sold in huge lots elsewhere. Who buys grams?
Unless the embargo law is changed it cannot be ended as long as Fidel or his brother are in charge. And his brother will be in charge.
My brother-in-law works as a geek for a Canadian company in Cuba. 3 weeks on, 3 weeks off. They fly him back and forth. Says it's quite a nice place overall.
I just know that tonight while my lady is receiving the annual ~Valentine
Fisting~ my mind will be on SCO and their ridiculous lawsuits, not on
the work at hand. She'll know something is bugging me, get pissed off and
make me stop. I'll have KY to my elbows for nothing.
Why was the reporter's email address already in the lawyer's address book? They should check his mail logs and see what else he send to that person before.
The nutshell version. If you're mad at Vista for including HDCP support -- Leopard, the PS3, or any HD-DVD or BluRay player on the market has it as well. Get pissed at the entire industry or don't bother getting pissed at all.
My PopcornHour Network Media Tank doesn't have any copy protection and I can play x264 720p/1080p HD-DVD & BluRay rips, xvid, divx, dvd ISOs, et al. just fine.

What about all the live sperm the Priests force into altar-boys? Does just the priest go to hell or does the altar boy go as well for ingesting?
Dude, chill out. If I've offended any god or gods I'm sure they'll smite me in a ball of fire or give me a wart on my nose. You should be having pity on me for daring to piss off the invisible super-beings... LOL, too funny.
The vocal atheists here on Slashdot should realize that everything is not them.
I'm well aware, it's a cause of sadness to see so much of the world revolving their lives around fairy tales.:)
The current pope has a long career in systematic theology. A man who has spent so much time in the tradition of inquiry is not the type who sends people back to "dark ages".
The Pope realizes that today science marches on with or without the blessings of the guy-in-the-funny-hat. His deluded rantings really don't matter in the rational world.
Who gives two shits what a kook who believes in invisible super-beings things? The man is irrational and would gladly have us living back in the dark ages.
You're right. It would have been smarter to just upload 567,000 individual torrents to TPB. The originator may not have actually compressed the file, perhaps he did it just to have an archive? Much like using tar without the -z option.
I have no idea how people got suckered into buying one of the two formats with no clear cut winner.
When I was buying my Xbox 360 at BestBuy it was some special where they included a 'flippy' disc of 300, one side DVD the other HDDVD. SalesDrone told me that I really needed to buy the HDDVD add-on drive to see 300 in HD. I said that I already had an x264 720p rip of it already and was waiting for my Popcorn Hour Network Media Tank to arrive. Also told him I didn't need a fancy warranty as I was going to solder in the mod chip once I got home and the warranty would be void by the end of the day anyhow. It wasn't a good day for that lad.
You're right about being suckered, though. I had thought about it for a fleeting moment but common sense prevailed.
Previously, I had heard that the total sales for blue ray players included sales of PS3 consoles.
My dentist is also a closet-techie. Several months ago at my last checkup he said he bought a PS3 just for the BluRay player as he's no gamer. So even if what you heard was true, there's undoubtedly people buying the PS3 for the BluRay capabilities basing that decision at least partially on price.

I have a lot more respect for Motorhead than for Metallica.
Because Lemmy is god.

Oh, the eternal burden of white man... surviving as a race.
He may have been referring to places like Kansas, the deep south, Jesusland, etc.
Fixed that for you.

How do these fancy-pants "scientists" know what happened 442,994,000 years before Earth was created?

Thanks SCO.

This does it for US$179, has a remote and is NonGeek friendly :)
Our previous Mythdora box never got much praise from the better half.

Read my posting history, it's no fluke.
I think you're confusing speaking one's mind with flamebait, I really do feel that way.
Cheers.

Could this type of technology be used for robots to allow them to identify what the 3d layout of the world around them is?
Some (most?) robots already use dual cameras for true depth perception.
ZIPped JPEGs? What's the point?
