I doubt it. All the software I've worked on in-house would be absolutely useless outside the immediate company, and no-one without expert domain knowledge would be able to add much to it anyway. I'd wager that most inhouse stuff is =not= reimplementations of things other people are doing.
Or do a lot of companies calculate the industry cost of sunday magazine coupon promotions?
Anyway, the big question is, how do we make a power supply that's going to be workable in 1k years? Batteries will discharge, any type of fuel/generator combo will have leaking/evaporating fuel, dried-out-gaskets, gummy grease, rotten rubber, rusted metal...
I'm curious as to what workable solutions anyone has.
"Good example is the pushing of creationism here in the states. I have changed my mind, and think that all the books which discuss evolution should include creationism in a seperate chapter. But in that chapter, they should also include the views of the japenese, the buddahists, the muslim, heck even the romans, and the vikings (man , I was thrown up???). Because, plain and simple, they all have the same amount of facts as each other."
Why should a book on SCIENCE have to have a chapter on religious beliefs? Should every book that discusses a heliocentric solar system also have to have a chapter espousing an earth-centered view?
In case ya didn't know, an Imperial Pint is 20 oz, and is the preferred size of a Guinness serving. For that matter, it's the preferred serving size of ANY beer, IMO.
Bull. I've done a lot of PHP, and am currently doing a lot of Java (JSP, Servlets). Once the JSP is compiled for the first time, the response time is not noticably different than using PHP or Perl or anything else.
The program is needed to simulate physical laws. In The Real World, no-one would be needed to start things up, assuming the physical laws were already in place.
Now, people can argue from now until the end of time about how the physical laws came to be, but that doesn't have anything to do with evolution.
Your hd is just a spinning disk, what did you expect, it to double speeds every 18 months? There's a limit to how fast you can spin the platters, after all how long have we been stuck at 52x CD-ROM drives?
Ah c'mon. I'm waiting for someone to Innovate their way around that pesky Law of Angular Momentum.
The idea is that, if these types of clouds are typical, then half the matter is in clouds like the ones they analyzed. NOT that half the material in the universe is in those two specific clouds!

Do people really spend that much time examining your feet?
I wear workboots and jeans, so I just make sure I'm not putting on socks that are crunchy. Other than that, who cares?
So ? All that proves is that a lot of Democrats were wrong, also.
The difference between them and Bush is that Bush went to war about it, and on top of that now refuses to admit he was wrong. The Dems may have been running off at the mouth about Iraq, but the neo-cons are the ones who made decisions that have led to the death of over a thousand American soldiers and tens of thousands (and probably over a hundred thousand) Iraqi civilians.
Now, answer the question. Invading Iraq was protecting the U.S. HOW?
"Saddam was however, campaigning to unify rogue terrorist organizations against the USA. "
Got any verifiable, unbiased sources for this ? Quite frankly, you sound just like one of Bush's cronies on the runup to the war in Iraq, and they were all proven wrong.
Heh. Cool. Where is Zoka, BTW? I thought I knew all the coffee shops here in the UD. I usually hang out upstairs at Allegro so I can suck my cancer sticks. Roma used to be my place, but I got tired of all the fucking AveRats bothering me with "Spare Change? Got an extra cigarette? Wanna buy some heroin?" Bleh.
Yeah, it's unfortunate that more time is spent bashing than anything else. It's too bad they learned from Rush, A.C. , O'Reilly, etc etc. Hell, those right wing media nutjobs have made entire CAREERS out of whining about liberals.
Remember when the administration said, RE WMD, it was a "slam dunk case", and that "we know where they are" ? Remember the satellite photos ?
It was all crap. Crapcrapcrap, and they knew it. Bush should be impeached, and the rest of his administration should be in jail.
And, yes, people from both major political parties believed Iraq had WMD. But it was the Republicans who decided to act on this "hunch", with no real evidence, and launch a war.
Anyone who thinks (people concerned about global warming) == (automatically commie-pinko-hate-american types) IS retarded. They don't have the brainpower to grok the concept that criticism != hate.
Agreed. I also like my TiVo (as opposed to a MythTV box) because it's one less freakin' PC case to have sucking up space in my apartment. The TiVo just lives on top of the TV, with the cable box sitting on top of it. No noise, no mess, no fuss. Seeing as I don't have the time to futz with stuff all the time (having a real job and everything) I've become a fan of dedicated hardware.

Sure, it can be geeky. Donate the hundred bucks on the condition they name one of the animals something like "Bios" or "Isa" or something.
Wait, wait, hang on a second, let me guess...
You just got a flyer in the mail from the Libertarian party, didn't you?
Perhaps, but if most of their infrastructure is oil-based, they're going to do their best to project their investment.

In that case, I'm going to watch his company closely and do the exact opposite of what he recommends.
Then, I'm going to pay him for it, so his company is successful.
Then, the universe will explode.
It'll be cool.

Yeah. It's real easy for a guy with the best security in the world to dare terrorists to kill civilians and to dare insurgents to kill our soldiers.
And I fail to see how calling Bush an arrogant prick (which he is) somehow equates to wanting to let mass murderers off the hook.

Nah. They're going to ask themselves:
"Did they promise any campaign contributions? "
Hell, the cynic in me thinks that maybe this is all a ploy to suck some more money out of the lobbyists pockets.
Mod this one offtopic, flamebait, funny, and overrated.
