    The world,
    the world just isn't what it used to be.
    What it used to be,
    back in the good ole days
    The good ol' days,
    Of Nineteen umpty two
    Back then, we didn't have any cars
    We didn't even have any shoes
    Course, we didn't need them cause, we had no legs
    We did not see this as a problem because towns were much smaller back then
    You could just reach to the left
    and you'reat the grocery store
    Reach to the right
    And you're at the book store
    Now with all uv these cars
    and ships
    and legs
    you have to travel all the way to the moon to get a good meal
    Av been hearing good things about the moon
    I haven't been there, but I have been hearing good things about it
    Of course,
    I should know since
    I built the moon
    I started it quite late because first I had to invent oxygen
    It was not a very good life before I invented oxygen,
    people were not living long
    Actually it was I who got the first fish to come out of the sea
    But no dinosaurs
    I don't like dinosaurs
    That's why I got rid of them
    As I was sayi

  3. Microsoft on Bearded Drinkers Lose Guinness · · Score: 1
    In answer to "Where does the beer actually go", I will use my standard answer. To Microsoft. Stupid Microsoft is stealing our beer now and putting it in Windows. Although this is bad for the system and the users, it is addictive. DO NOT LET YOUNG CHILDREN USE NT, THE RESULTS CAN BE DISASTROUS! I would have thought that they should give us beer instead of taking it so that we would be too drunk to see the bugs or complain about the GPFs, etc.

  4. Lyx and Face 04 on Linux Word Processor Showdown · · Score: 1
    Two things.
    First of all, who else is going to get Applixware just to see what that "face 04" is?

    Also, I adore Lyx. It is the best thing I have ever seen for writing up math, the equations are excellent.

    The way it is going, computers will be at the stage of superiority over humans.
    But it might not be really noticeable because we do not have the proper software to utilize it (like AI).
    Luckily there is the Great AIP (Artificial Intelligence Project), but if it was not for that not much would be happening

  14. Timing of HURD on Debian GNU/Hurd Preinstalled by UK Computer Maker · · Score: 1
    Whatever happened to HURD?
    At the very beginning of Linux everybody was just waiting for HURD to be complete and it was supposed to be available very soon.
    I was looking at a copy of the discussion between Torvalds and Tanaenbaum and everybody was just saying that HURD is going to come out soon and this is just to tide over (but they were also saying that DOS and Intel are inferior and not going to take off).

    " The precursor of DOS was FDOS (Fast and Dirty Operating System).
    Microsoft dropped the F and guess what was left? "

    Have you heard of the superstring theory? Quite interesting.

  18. Viruses / Virii on Computer Immune Systems · · Score: 1
    Virus is a Latin word.
    Both plurals are used, viruses is more common, but in scientific circles virii is used.
    It is one of those things like formulas formulae.

    If you want to be proper, this also holds true with Japanese words. I am learning Japanese and one of the interesting things is that for most words there is no plural form, so for kimono, kimonos is incorrect. There is a plural for I (I = watakushi, We = Watakushitachi) and you (you = anata, You [plural] = anatagate). Doing it otherwise is like saying yous

    PS: Did anyone know that the singular form of data is datum?

  19. Sexual Reproduction of Computer Virii on Computer Immune Systems · · Score: 3
    Currently, in the scientific sense, computer viruses reproduce asexually. There is one parent involved and it produces an exact copy. But just like in science this is weak as there is no variation.

    Theoretically it should be possible to create viruses that reproduce sexually. There are two parents involved and the offspring shares traits of both parents. Have data structures similar to chromosomes that hold traits of the virus such as where it is stored, what it does, how it reproduces, its lifetime...

    The viruses would then go around looking for other viruses of the same basic type (species), mix together the chromosomes and create varied offspring. You could even have designated virus breeding grounds.

    In the programming side of this, someone would create the basic structure (species) of a virus and a way to insert traits. Virus writers would then come around and specify the traits they want, and send it out (either to a "friend" or to a possible designated virus breeding ground).

    This would create a new type of virus. One that will eventually become so varied that any in that species can not really be removed easily.

  20. Stephen W Hawking on Stephen Hawking on The Future · · Score: 1
    He really is the person to talk to. His studies, especially on the subject of astrophysics, are of amazing fallusness. Even though I am 14, I have read both "A Brief History of Time" and "Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays". Stephen W. Hawking is an amazing person, both in his studies, and in himself.

    To think that someone of this intelligence is still alive and lecturing

    I stronly suggest his books for reading.
