why so many people can't accept that evolution and discovery of really old organisms do not exclude each other. The bible says the earth and everything on it was created in 6 days...yet it is describing a time period BEFORE THE SUN AND EARTH EVEN EXISTED, so "day" does not necessarily mean "the earth spinning around once on its axis". One "day" during that time could have been a billion years.
and it includes Adam and Eve in the same way the king james version does. The king james translation may not be the best, and there are plenty of biblical hebrew words whose meanings are disputed, but the Adam and Eve story is the same.
That being said, I have to believe that your teacher was on crack. Or maybe acid.
How about have another vote, with just the two candidates that are statistically tied? I know that the constitution says there needs to be ONE day for voting, but that can be ammended. This would be the most fair, IMHO.
but they haven't noticed yet, and i have it set up so it's not likely they will, unless all of a sudden tons of people start hitting it (which isn't gonna happen...there's nothing on it for them to go to). Mostly mail, but also some web and ftp. I think it's ridiculous that they even try to stop people from running servers (after all, you're paying to connect to the internet...you should be able to do whatever you want with the bandwidth you're paying for). Also, me running my mail off my server makes it so it actually uses less bandwidth for them, and is much more convenient for me (able to use procmail, etc).
Ehm, except that if that's not true. Apple has very little control over getting the Sorenson codecs opensourced, yes...but they could very well make a closed-source binary-only distribution of Quicktime for Linux.
Well, there would have to be some kind of safeguard...I'm sure that by the time we have things that can interface with the mind like that we'll also be able to isolate things like trauma in the brain, and possibly cut it off from the virtual world. As for falling in love with something you can't have...that happens in real life too;)
There'd be no way to fire, and just like using a joystick for Quake, you wouldn't be able to turn nearly as fast or as accurately as with a mouse...looking up and down would also be harder just like with a joystick.

The point of this keyboard is not to look or feel anything like a keyboard...in fact, not only is it keyless, you don't "type" on it.
It has two domes which can move into any of 8 positions each. You move the domes in combinations in order to type a key.
So, if you had waited until you could read/see about the keybowl, you wouldn't even have posted this. And if the moderators had, it wouldn't be (Score: 3, Insightful).
Not saying you're not making valid points (I like keyboards too), they just don't have anything to do with the story at hand;).
Uh, just like any keyboard, I would guess it doesn't give a fuck about the OS being used...it just sends keycodes. Sortof like the fact that, you know, BIOSes and the like don't need special keyboard drivers depending on your keyboard.
ALL drugs should be legal. If all drugs were legal, there would be no dealers, and most of the drug-related deaths would go away, because drugs would be regulated -- you'd know exactly what you're getting. There would be no drug related crime, because prices would be alot lower, and there would be no need for drug mafias and things like that.
Alcohol is as dangerous as many hard drugs, and causes many more deaths a year than hard drugs...so why isn't alcohol illegal? Tobacco kills thousands of people every day...so why isn't tobacco illegal? The answer is that "Alcohol and Tobacco are socially acceptable".
People should be allowed to put whatever they want into their own bodies...as long as they aren't endangering others.
The solution? Regulate things like marijuana the same way Alcohol and Tobacco are, and more strictly with hard drugs.
As a teenager, I can tell you it is MUCH easier to get marijuana (and many other drugs) than it is to get alcohol...all because they are illegal.
Well, the fact is, if you ask the average American what Ralph Nader stands for, they'll have no idea. Hell, if you ask the average American what the difference between Al Gore and George Bush is in terms of policy, most of them will probably have no idea. I never said that I think Nader has a chance to win a national election...but he didn't even get the chance to express his views to the general public, because the only political thing that most people watch are the debates.
So then that thing called the Constitution...you know, the thing that starts with "We the People"...you don't like that either...cause you didn't help write that...and it decided what laws "we" got...so I guess that was just another quest for power too? After all, a (relatively) small group of people wrote it.
This is utter nonsense. Nader doesn't have a chance because he doesn't get any press or media coverage! The fact is, most Americans don't research their decision on who to vote for, they go by what they've seen of the candidates on TV, and in the newspaper (although mostly on TV). Well, was Nader allowed into the debates? NO. Hell, even though he had a ticket, he wasn't allowed to sit as an audience member. Nader's rallies often get 10,000+ people...while Bush/Gore rallies rarely, if ever, get even close to that number...yet there are no reporters at Nader's rallies, but most of the audience at a Bush/Gore rally is media.
You could replace all the occurences of Nader in the last paragraph with any other 3rd party candidate, and it'd work the same. NO 3rd party has a chance right now (and they never will if things stay the way they are unless some billionaire decides to fund the campaign).
Um, and you're saying all those soccer mums need their Explorers and Suburbans? You just countered your own argument. If you don't play 3D games, you don't need a 3d card. The review was pointed towards people who need as good a 3D card they can get...for a small amount of money.
You're happy with your Celeron 500 with a TNT2 right now, but a year from now, when you're only getting 20 FPS on the top (polygon count) games, you won't be...but there will be other "low-end" cards by then. You're not the review's target audience right now. In a year, you will be (except it'll be a different review, with different cards).
More than enough for you, yes. However, I can't even play Q3 on my machine anymore (gets 25-30 FPS) after having played on the machine I had at work (got 70-80 FPS) for the summer. It's just too frustrating, because it just runs too slowly.

Well, just so we're accurate, gravity would be measured at 9.8 m/(blink)^2. I think that'd be much more useful.
Yes, I know gravity is not actually measured as 9.8m/s^2, but we all know he was talking about gravity's acceleration on earth anyway.

Prolly not...cuz there's still the rest of the pattern, there's just a line running through it. Your best bet would be to dip your fingers in acid :P.

It's not the end-all be-all...that's for sure. But it's certainly better than anything else out there right now.
I just can't wait for holodeck type things -- imagine playing an FPS in that! Talk about the realism!
