being from Belgium i have to say that dutch people are supposed to be the progressive ones... go figure (should we just waste that entire generation right now and get on with the world ?)
Furthermore... what fucking jurisdiction does a dutch judge have in sweden ? NONE, that's right , NONE
i spent about 250 euros just for a agp gfx card... now i've been using the same GT8500 for over a year, bought if for 68 euros brandnew
As long as i keep windows tweaked i have no problems playing the latest titles so far and since that's all i use windows for, a little spellborn or cod i don't see the need for expensive gear anymore
But still it's a bit hard to say have a bomb explode when a certain person walks by, just by scanning within a certain radius or maybe track you via satellite ?
I think it's inhumane... that's what makes it so human i suppose
Again, what about the part where we have to recognize this 'alien communication' as actual communication? Where is it written that all life in the universe (here uni- meaning 'one', so 'the' uni-verse sounds somewhat wrong, should be 'our' universe or 'a' universe)is carbonbased, i mean even captain james t kirk had to fend of siliconbased creatures in his days... where does this so-called paradox take into account that we can only hope to understand things that are recognizable in 'our' universe and that something alien might be so... alien that we don't even notice it...then again, the universe is known to pull some sick jokes so it might really be possible that we are the only sentient life in it ????? Naaaaah, don't think so
Like the man said, i don't think we should be looking for one-system-fits-all. Instead, decentralize and leave it to 'the locals' to look into the needs of their own region. they should know best how to handle their own since they are part of... umm... their own ?
i think the problem lies at the core of most judicial systems : trying to solve problems by repression. Wouldn't you think that death penalty would have eradicated crime after the middle-ages... if it actually worked ? You cannot solve social problems like poverty and stupidity by repressing and opressing people, and you will not make a criminal 'better' (weird concept in se) by locking him or her up for any amount of time. Beside... sentenced for life is totally stupid... i think (dont kill me hehe) it's more humane to kill someone right away than to lock them up with no chance of ever getting released. Not to mention the fact that you use valuable resources on individuals that will never contribute to society again... my 5 cents
i'm a bigtime fan of TED and i saw his speech about the time it went on. I think it's great, bill gates unplugged, maybe you can take the hood out of the nigga
i seriously regretted starting warhammer without the content they left out, maybe this might crank it up just enough to be like a little different from wow before i realise that it's all the same... for a few weeks...
a bit silly to think that we will never ever be able to at least emulate a human brain , sounds somewhat like if we were meant to fly then god would have given us wings. I think its about time to correct the corrections that were done to the genepool by the church and inquisition in the middle-ages (did you just call me a heretic overthere?)
i tried the win7 beta when it leaked on piratebay and ie8 took about 2 minutes to display a blank page , let me add that i really don't have a computer that still has a turbo button either... for now i'm stuck with a small (about 2 times my linux partition size) vista partition just to play the games that i cant get to work on wine... really, once you go compiz, its kinda hard to turn back... and that's just the front-end
don't got for safety, the only way you can pick out the extraordinary students is by giving them a chance to hack the system... go for a smart net-admin instead maybe:p
furthermore, please make sure that everyone single unit can boot into windows as wel as linux (at least)... the extra 5gb for linux should NOT be a problem if you have a relatively competent it-department, no extra cost, and no loss either, since anyone can choose wether to boot into one os or the other to do whatever they need to do with the tool they deem to be the best for the job, thereby encouraging personal initiative on the side
Are to most corporations and governments nothing but a means of convincing their consumers and subjects that what the government dictates is truly the only way and is really what they want (this is not judgment, merely a please-think remark)
i totally second that. furthermore, just pulling something out of someone's backpack, to me, seems to be (legally) much the same as home invasion though it will, ofcourse, not have the same traumatizing effect. Unless your notes are an exact copy of someone elses work i don't see how that teacher would be allowed to do that. And still then , he or she does NOT have the right to pull it out. Since we live in a society dominated by paper law, your teacher should follow this, both literally and morally. This is im(ns)ho at least infringement of privacy. Pardon me if my english is not perfect, i suppose your teacher would use this as an excuse to demean me and my opinion but let me cite one of my favorite slashdot-sigs : all my foes are spelling or grammar nazis. Yes indeed, consult a lawyer, this COULD prove to be interesting and is in fact more or less your moral duty towards your fellow students and yourself.
dixit...euh... me
i'm running both ubuntu intrepid and vista on the same box with 6gb of ram (64bit ofcourse)
on windows i have a pagefile of about 7gb on my harddrive
on linux, i simply turned swapspace of, cos it was never used
i find this baffling considering the amount of money put in to windows over all these years, do they apply for retards... or is it a question of honour and is no single decent coder even willing to work for microsoft ???
really, i can't figure you humans out

in that case, this is a definite fail

OMG THEY'RE BREEDING !!!!! lol, looks like someone failed the darwin test again

a bit imperfect, as are most paper laws but imo not a totally bad idea as far as personal privacy goes, dubbleplusgood :p
we will still get the choice to legally uninstall whatever we want then ? wtf ?? :|
