Perhaps my MP3 collection is out of date or substandard or highly deviant, but how can 1,000 MP3 files fill up a 10GB hard drive? At 128 Kbps, most tracks take up appx 3MB... 1000 of them 3GB (I know, I know, not exactly)
Even if the OS takes up 2GB (I don't run XP, so I don't know), that leaves 8GB for media and apps, that's WELL more than 2000 MP3s.
More significantly, why is it that data storage is always (of late) calibrated to the number of MP3 tracks storeable therein? Are GigaBytes that complex?
URGENT!!! Sprint just announced today that there is a new virus out that is being spread around digital PCS phones. If you open the text message entitled "Hi it's Mom!" on your text message enabled cell phone, your phone will blow up just like your home computer processor can. To protect your friends, forward this to everyone you know with a cell phone. To verify these details check out the weekly world news....
It's bad enough on ICQ...

Y'all missed something!
At the core of every 'reasoned' belief, at the core of every mathematical proof is a set of preliminary and unescapable axioms. you can't make any kind of reasoned proof without starting without some kind of faith assumption. I suppose the faith assumptions that davies is using (but not admitting) would be the faith in reason as the ultimate path to truth, of the sovereign existentence of mankind, the intrinsic desire of mankind to learn and improve... you've all got some kind of faith assumptions, you might as well admit it! There is no such thing as religious neutrality, everyone believes in something.

what if our assumtion that men and women are exactly the same is incorrect? what if it has nothing to do with encouragement or discouragement but instead with the basic "instincts" if you will of the gender in general?
What if women are simply more inclined to work in fields with more meaningful human interaction (the "helping professions") and less interested in abstract, somewhat impersonal professions such as CS and IT?
I know it's not popular to point out that there may be a fundamental difference between the genders, but it's true. There's more separating us than simply genatalial differences.
Just my two cents worth...

Now that'd be a killer App!
