Nytimes.com says it's pronounced like "wares", though I've heard it pronounced a number of ways ("juarez"). Sort of like the "lye-nix"/"linn-ucks"/"lee-noox" divide.
I've had AOL 5.0 installed on my computer since it came out, and I access the internet through cable, and I've had absolutely no problems with my connection or networking. AOL is evil, but it's a necessary one for many of us who need it. I've been a member since 1990, and changing my main e-mail address would create problems. -Henri
Is Microsoft responsible because some guy wrote a little macro virus and loosed it upon the unsuspecting world by mistake? I mean really, if a plane is blown up, does the airline sue Boeing? If people are going to buy the software (board the plane, etc), they should understand that the potential for damage exists.
Closed source is important to certain entities (ie. the US Government) who need to know the exact product they're getting. Yet another incentive for Open Source software companies to make boxed versions of their products and put them in stores. |Offtopic alert| A certain percentage of computer users will never truly understand computers. Why try to force them to learn? Just make using linux as seamless as the Windows "one-click to aol" for them. Let them enjoy and support open-source without knowing what it is. -Andrew
I certainly hope so. The space program isn't getting nearly as much attention anymore because of that other ultra-technology item that we know and love, the Internet. With the money being spent to start 7 online pet stores, we could probably build a new society on Mars. -Andrew
This discovery is just another example of how technology just smashes through all supposed scientific boundaries we can throw up against it. Even the supposed "electron limit" that we're going to reach around 2015 seems surmountable. I'm sure that we'll have found some method of manipulating even smaller particles (quarks, etc) by then.

The actual problem is that the album is terrible. It's really an embarassment, compared with "Play", which was a masterpiece in my opinion.
could someone at least post the lyrics? :)

If Androids can dream of Electric Sheep, well then anything's possible. What good will it do them though?
