Wow. For the first time, someone in the journalistic community has said that Windows is playing catchup with Linux!!! Whod'a thought that a year ago?? I for one think this is great.
Doesn't mean there's not a long way to go, though, still...
The theory of non-gritsification says that the amount of energy required to pour grits down the pants of a specific geek is astronomical. You are also forgetting about the Hemos uncertainty principle, that says we cannot be sure of both where Hemos' pants and Hemos himself are at any given time with absolute certainly. So, CmdrTaco would have to expend extraordinary amounts of energy attempting to find the place to dump the grits, heating them up, and dumping them. This energy is better spent working on the Theory of Anonymous Cowards with No Life, which I understand is to be put out in the scientific journal "Pure Bullshit" any day now for peer review.
X-rays are produced here by accelerating electrons to very high speed and smashing them against a target. Kinda like a miniature acelerator, I think. That's why televisions create x-rays, because the tube is essentially a low-energy particle accelerator, smashing the electrons against the phosphor of the screen and making them glow.
I'm not one hundred percent sure of how the black holes create them, but I think it has something to do with the kinetic energy of the electrons as they fall over the event horizon... someone feel free to correct me.
I've always been an armchair theoretical physicist, and I think this is fascinating. But what does this do to the 3 degrees above zero theory that said the background radiation was a residue of the big bang? Sure doesn't sound like it now...
These people really tick me off. It really torques me that an organization like this thinks they can get away with this. I say... distribute this as far and as wide as you can. Don't let them try to close it down. We (the linux community) are not trying to pirate, we just want our own choice in what platform we watch DVDs on. Has it ever OCCURED to them that this software might not exist if they would LISTEN to their customers?
This is the ultimate in corporate arrogance. I wouldn't be surprised if theyre under contract with MS to make sure DVDs can't be listened to under Linux.
NBC did not have a contract with CBS to display that advertisement, and since CBS owned the transmission medium, they have every legal right to do what they did. Is it ethical? I don't know. I do feel that NBC has no right to ask for reparations.
Was CBS right to do this? I don't think so, but they weren't wrong either. It was just a bad decision and one that undermines their integrity.
You're that same troll who was ranting over on that thread about Holland, MI, huh? Your writing style is remarkable similar, paranoid delusional, with just a touch of insanity.
For the sake of all that's good and *cough*holy*cough* I hope you're just trolling.
I think the biggest problem with morality and technology is that people find it more difficult to apply the same rules to technology as they do to stuff in meatspace. In meatspace it's a lot harder to do certain things. And you're not anonymous. With technology, you can do a lot of things. But people just need to realize that just because you *can* doesn't always mean you *should*.
Don't get me wrong, I'm no proponent of a rigid morality. But people need to think about who they're hurting before they do something, whether online or off. Those issues haven't changed. What's changed is the accessibility that technology offers...
I live on the same street as the primate research center... used to drive by it everyday going to work, found it amusing that almost every day there were protesters and a security van a few feet away keeping them all in check...
I value monkeys and wildlife, I really do... but if those people spent half the energy they do trying to improve the human condition, maybe there wouldn't be any need for primate research... or maybe they could do it more humanely.
Just a few thoughts. You know, the funny thing is, that here in Beaverton the primate research center isn't even given a second thought... all of the attention comes from elsewhere.
I also think it's quite weird... just down the street from all the protesters are a bunch of restaurants, serving ground beef and chicken and stuff from lots of dead animals... I'm no vegetarian but I really think it's hypocritical to eat meat if yer going to protest primate experiments.
Thought my geography could give a little perspective there... now back to your regularly scheduled trolling...
I think this is particularly good news, even though there are probably going to be some licensing issues to work out.
This is another feather in the cap of linux as a commercially viable Operating System. I think it will give additional credibility to Linux in the business world, as well as provide further incentive for the government to replace their commercial machines with open-source equivalents. Think about it.. I think this is at least B2-grade (correct me if I'm wrong), and windows has a hard enough time reaching C2...
It would, of course, be the best if the code modifications were released as open source... we all know by now that "security by obscurity" is a really bad way to go... and if they make patches directly to the kernel they have to release them under the GPL. Unless, of course, the government decides it's a matter of "national security", in which the normal rules don't apply.

At least those people tried to make things better - ACROSS religious lines. They may have been zealots... but at least they worked to improve humanity, rather than cause it to come crashing down in the name of their god.
Well, everyone except billy graham. I have NO respect for him. In my opinion, he's singlehandedly responsible for popularizing modern evengelical christianity, which is not only unbiblical, it's just plain wrong, IMO. And he does very little to improve the state of humanity, on the contrary, I feel he is helping to destroy it.
So those people, with the exception of billy graham, are willing to set aside their dogma in order to help unite people, to help make life better for people... I do respect them. And I think I would die for what I believe. Or, more accurately, I would die before I allowed someone to force me to believe differently.
But those who would reconstruct this country in order to force everyone to believe in some strange doctrine bout a guy dying and coming back to life and sin and a book written by god himself and everything... And those who'd force their moral values on others (other than basic humanity)... I have no respect for them at all and will fight them with everything I have.

Excuse me? I am by no means a child molester. And, as again, if you're going to make heinous accusations such as those, SHOW YOUR FACE.
But fucking myself sounds pretty good bout now, thanks for the idea.

This is not true, otherwise there would not need to be X-ray shielding on televisions. I know, I used to open them up and work on them.
Maybe they're not very powerful but they *do* exist.

Yeah, amazing isn't it? I grew up in a cult myself.. but still... it's incredible.

Homer opens the freezer, and pulls out a neapolitan ice cream container, opens it, and it has everything but the chocolate
*doh*
Homer discards the carton, and opens another, same thing...

"OK, dear"
