You don't know that. No one does. Ever heard of a "Hubble Volume"? The universe doesn't end with the range of our telescopes or our perception of it...
Bullshit. Unless you are Slardyblardfast, you can only "test" your hypotheses using a computer model, which as we have seen with the current climate-change scam, are not entirely reliable.
On behalf of everyone who understands the forces involved in a car collision, I'm asking you to just please just slow down and get to your destination 5 minutes later (or at exactly the same time because traffic lights regulated the flow).
Yeah I pretty much started driving at or under the speed limit after my first year as a physics undergrad
Oh wait, I'm one of those people you're asking on behalf of
I live in New Zealand and they had an ad campaign that equated the energy involved in a crash to dropping a car from a height with equivalent gravitational potential energy. They didn't quite get the numbers right but the ads had the right effect on my non-scientific friends and family.
Uh, that's why the founders of the USA started a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC which, while it may use some of the same techniques as democracy, is NOT the same thing.
It is time to give real power to the UN and the ICC in order to avoid more death and destruction.
I was with you until the above quote. Why should anybody give an ineffectual organisation more power? What has the UN done since its inception to curb the tide of illegal and immoral wars? Sweet fuck all as far as I can tell.
The UN needs to be done away with. I don't want some Korean fuckwit telling my country what to do.
How can you not see the actions of the "terrorists" and the USA as morally equivalent?
The US, on the other hand, targets military targets exclusively. The US military actually goes out of its way to avoid civilians and even misses some targets because of it. When civilians die as a result of a US action, the US is quick to apologize.
Just like in the My Lai massacre? And gee, it is really big of them to apologise, as if that lets them off any moral hooks. I'm sure the wrongly killed people are up in heaven saying "gee America, that's OK that you blew me and my family to kingdom come, because you're sorry about it". I mean, as an analogy Microsoft will break the law if they gain more than they lose, likewise the US military doesn't give a shit who they target so long as all they have to do is *appear* remorseful afterwards
Now before you go getting your panties in a wad, I am not a pacifist and believe that violence can be a means to an end, but in the words of General Smedley Butler, "the only 2 things worth fighting for are our homes and the Bill of Rights". The USA military's current endeavours are nothing more than acting as enforcers for powerful financial interests. To quote the most retarded president of the USA ever "either you are with us or you are with the terrorists", well GW, I think you're BOTH insane and will fight to the death to protect myself and my family from both groups.
Ubuntu isn't even close to being as stable as debian
Yeah but it is a hell of a lot more stable than anything MS puts out for the home...
Your post sounds like saying that something that is 99% stable is a hell of a lot more stable than something that is 98% stable. I have used both and the difference is minimal at best.
THE Ubuntu forums are...AWESOME and the main reason I am still using Ubuntu...it hasn't been a completely smooth ride but it has been *a lot* smoother and friendlier than when I was on WinXP
Slashdot Mirror
he's funnier than you
if science fiction and video games have taught us anything it's that aliens are horrid creatures that need to be killed.
Best thread on THIS discussion. A+'s all round.
Typically, it is a bell curve, with 20% being exceptional, 80% being average and 20% dumb as stumps.
uh I think you fit into the later category...20 + 80 +20 = 120.
No it isn't

or trying intelligently rather than throwing darts at a board to see what you'll try next. Educated guesses and all that....
I wonder if they'll blame the hot Jupiter phenomenon on dark matter next...
If anyone was willing to pay for sex with my mother or sisters, they have bigger problems than their cashflow.

What an arrogant wank stain...and I am a scientist...a physicist even!!

The Caspian Sea is not too far away either.
Well when I googled "Georgia" I got news results for the current situation in the former Soviet republic.

those aren't dumb, just highly unlikely.
he said "dubmest", not "dumbest". There is a difference.

Don't trust anybody with your data. ImO you were stupid to do so in the first place.
Wouldn't companies that don't have any LINUX gurus in-house be totally screwed even with support?
Then, uh, why would they switch to Linux?

More cruft to add to the bogus hypothesis that is dark matter.
I am a physicist.
M$ can spend as many dollars as they like polishing their turds, but at the end of the day, it's still a turd.
Mac OS X has come a long way. It is everything a UNIX guy could evey have hoped for in a desktop/laptop OS (I started on Solaris)
Fucking bullshit
Everything *this* UNIX guys could want is found in Ubuntu and compiz-fusion. I wouldn't care if MacOS never existed.
