Lunatic shares its orgin with histarical. You can do the searches your self on google and w-m.com but the quck and short is the hist histarical is the same hist that you find in historctome. If you think thats not politicaly correct then you will love lunatic which is based on the concept that a women goes nuts with every cycle of the moon. So it wasn't just sagacity it was intentional. Looks like the greeks and romans who gave us these words had the same problems with women that we do. Some things never change, some things like the earths magnetic pole change every 36,000 years or so.
This is very nice looking. Would make a really cool screen saver if it where in c and not java. Any volentears? But now I must put on my "think like corp. hat" Some publisher goes out and maps all the great books and compairs them with current best sellers. Coralate the patterns and then decide that Fromat X creates the best sellers that people buy. Now they refuse to print any book that does not fit their demo graphic of what they concider to be the next best seller.
Its only a matter of time befor these kinds of things are used like a DNA test to see weather a book has good "genes" or bad "genes".
I know it sounds like a conspearicy but I have seen corp.s do stranger things in attempting to repeat past successes. Just look at the movies. We are about to release Star Wars -2 in the name of working on a tried and true formula that started with the release of Jaws II. Did anyone else catch the Special on PBS (frountline i think) that talked about how Jaws was the birth of the end of original movies as we knew it?
Lets look at this from the other side, the emacs side. With emacs you can have a browser in your editor. While you are at it you can have your shell and tetris and mail, news and and and. I am not here to expose the virtue of emacs but to instead ask why this took so long and what real bennies this will have. I can more than see the good of vi embeded with kdevelop but I would much rather use emacs as my IDE for its stablity reasons. Even if emacs was embeded in konq I would still rather use emacs by its self because konq has a habit of crashing on anything less that 128 meg of real memory. Why dont the vim developers work on makeing a vim with an IDE rather than having other work on embeding vim in other apps?
Karma goes down by several points for unpopular oppinion.
Slackware is my favorit distrobution. But it has one dark spot. It went from 3.x to 7.0 and upset a lot of people with version bloat. At least Debian has a chance not to make that same error as it moves into the 3.x tree.
Good luck debian. You are my second favorit and I wish you well with the new 3.0.
Is it just me or does this remind anyone else of the "there are no planits, people or money , but there is a lot of sex" bit in the HHGTTG? Or maybe its just all the talk about genetic decendents of pigs and the end of the universe that is makeing me want to go out and open a savings acount with just a one penny deposit.
Where was the YRO story when they filed suit to stop the legal defence fund? This seems like a moster sized issue compared to some of the YRO stories. I most definitly want to know when steps are taken to see to it that not only is my right to free speach on the net infringed but to add insult to injury they wanted to stop the defendants from paying for a defence? Please let us know the next time insult is added to injury on free net speak.
While this was going on there is a couple in California that is hopeing (as in activly looked for sperm donner who was deaf) to have a kid that is deaf so that he will be like the rest of the family (minus the cats). So while we have gene experaments going on to inhance the lives of people and potentialy bring a brave new world kind of classism effect [BadThing(TM)] we have also got people who are actively trying to set the pace of progress back.
If you have emacs installed do the following on the command line man $(locate condom) This is one of those things that proves emacs really is a great OS because it can supply all our needs.
This has been brewing in my mind for some time now. I have seen transparant cases, transparent harddrives, tacks and now foam cases. Where are the laptop mods. Please post any links you have to laptop mods that are not stickers and spraypaint. This has been bugging me for some time. I want in on the mod action.
This will be great. Now in stats where minors are not allowed to carry pagers the schools can call up the parents and ask that they remove little johnie's pager. This is another example of where tech is moving faster than shools and laws.
Thank you. I was about to tell him the same thing. I wonder if he has heard that we are not currently in a ressesion? All the indicators show that we ended the ressesion in november. We may not be in a groth period but we are not going down hill. Well he probably dosn't pay attention to stuff like that anyway.
Its not about the moon. How many of use here at/. want NASA/gov to get off their butts and go to MARS. Thats right people. If China even breaths one word about wanting to go to Mars we will have a new space race. The USA will not stand idely by while China begins to make the Red Planet... well The RED Planet.
That's the thing about people who think they hate computers. What they
really hate is lousy programmers. - Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle in
"Oath of Fealty"
That is what I found in the fortune at the bottem of the this thread.
They bring the geckos in so that they can catch the flies that the cats are too slow or close to the ground to catch. Its a symbiot relationship. Cat gives gecko food. Gecko gets rid of pest. Cat gets rid of gecko.
But that is how I find out if some one is plagerising me! You see bad spelling has it's perks. One day I might have to add a patch to the links browser to use an external editor like lynx can via the ^e ^e command. Then I could actualy spell check these things.
The authority was not referanced to add weight. It was refferanced because I was quoting my source and that is how you avoid plagerism. Not only that if people want to they can pick up the book and see if they agree with it. Unlike some who do not make available their soruces or claim that a source is from some secrit document that no one has access to.
I have a few issues with the examples you used to illustrate your point.
I have pulled out my old trusty copy of Demon-Haunted World by Carl Sagan and have turned to the section on baloney detection.
We have here the following points that match your post.
Appeal to ignorance - Claiming that what has not been proved false must be true.
Observational selection - Enumeratioon of Favorable Circumstances -- aka you have pointed out the hits of the past but have not pointed out the failiurs.
Non sequitur -- you make points that are not realy related in any form other than they are in the same feild (aviation) but assume that because it happend one way in the past that it will happen again the same way in the future.
Would you know if they did pull off a massive inquisition? After all: "Nobody suspects the Spanish Inquisition!" Before any of you start thinking I am just makeing a joke at the expense of all the people who where tortured let me say that I have read the Malleus Maleficarum and have visited the Inquisition exhibit on toruture takeing place at the San Diego Museum of Man. You want to get sick an nausues? Do ether one of those. And then go to the Museam of Death in LA. Scientologists are wageing an inquisition. But not one that can bee seen by everyone. They do kill and cursade but in a maner compleatly in keeping with their cult like tendancies.
After almost every tech site and individual geek banded together... I have been noticing this more an more about the Scicult people. I do not see these stories anywhere else but geek sites. Why is this? I am not talking about a conspiracy of the highest order by the cult to stop everyone from publishing anything about them but instead about why it is that geeks keep bumping into these guys? What is the it about the cult that causes geeks everywere to keep tabs on them? I have seen countless stories here on slashdot and on notslashdot and started thinking about it when the k5 story appeared about this yesterday (whats up/.? you are getting slow in your old age)
I noticed the same thing. Links did not do to well either with it. You would think that a company that is spending 10 million dollars in R&D to reinvent the wheel would make a text friendly website.
Unfortunitly it is your emagination. Mc food has always tasted like crap. But you got the brand name toy in the kids meal and a playground with branded charicters you saw on TV so you asked to go there because that was more emportant than good food. OTOH:It was better when fries where cooked in beef tallow (thats lard to all of you vegi heads, and fatty carcass parts to vegans). I am still wishing that they would go back to that. /me looks up and realises that this sounds like a flame. I did not mean it that way I was just stating the truth and let out a little venom at the anti-carcass people.
I am going to burn in karma hell for this but here goes:
You odviously only watched the ones up to the introduction of Smurfette. After that we had Baby Smurf and then all those damn kids. This is my opinion where they Jumped the Shark Remember also that there is a new smurf deliverd by stork every blue moon. Figure on one blue moon every year (except 1999 which had two) and the number of years since they canceled it (13) and we are looking at almost a 14 new smurfs. An increase of almost 15%! Not including any that Gargamel has made since then.
Not that I keep up on these types of things.
So what your saying, like I have to every person I show google to, is: that Google == PBS You get no adds save for "this search was brough to you by.." in the side boxes and they are small text adds and not 30 second mini-infomercials like you see on some sites/channels.

Great. You have Slashdoted the guy who made Slashdot possible in the first place.
This is a bit like everyone on earth praying at the same time and causing a Praydot DDoS attack on God.

You can have the most annoying banners of any site out there. Because so long as I am in a text browser, links, all your banners look like this: [IMG]
Add to that browsing in light mode and I would not even notice if you had a full page banner advert between every post/comment.
Now if you offered a nntp.slashdot.org then I would gladly pay $5 a month. Then I could take fixing the moderation system into my own hands.
