Might I shamelessly plug my own system? Its a PHP/MySQL system I custom wrote for a gallery in Roswell GA, but have released as OSS. It is generalized enough to work for any strict inventory tracking application (IE: it is not a categorical tracker, meaning it wouldn't work well for say, a grocery store)

Requirements are simply PHP and MySQL, some reports use libgd to generate graphs. Being in PHP, it will run on any system (although I recommend a unix based system, osx, linux, bsd).
Oh, the demo is currently not operational, my friends server I was running in on experienced hardware failure.
Taking a page from squaresoft's book, I'd suggest doing what they've been doing all along and incorporating a richly complex plot line akin to some of the better anime's out there. IMO, square has done a magnificent job of this in their games.
Currently, American movie can only seem to elicit in me the same emotions I get from video games: the baser, simple emotions. I don't know what it is, but the script writers for anime seem to be much better at helping viewers identify with their charecters.
For instance, I can only think of a single American TV show where I wanted the guy and girl to get together(xander and willow in btvs), although I was supposed to. Almost every anime I have watched I really wanted the guy and girl to get together.
Another example is so called 'tear-jerkers'. As embarrased as I am to admit it, a number of anime series have caused me to tear up, but I can't think of a single american style plot line thats capable of doing that.
Really I think it all comes down to quality of story telling used in games. Using bells and whistles as a substitute I think will not accomplish this but instead will make for more frustrating game play.
Seems to me that game makers already have the frustration emotion down pat.
Atkins, an extremely high protein low carb diet will fry your kidneys and heart if you stay on it long enough. Atkins diet does not reduce the amount of fat in your body, almost all the weight loss is due to water loss and you'll put it back on as soon as you go off the diet.
Atkins will increase your chances of kidney disfunction and Coronary Heart Disease.
This really bothers me about Atkins, a FAD diet which people adopt without researching the consequences. ATKINS IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR A BALANCED DIET AND EXERCISE!
Fat cells are created
Got excess weight? Here's a plan.
Do NOT snack. Eat 3 meals a day, a small breakfast (something with no sugar in it), a medium sized lunch and a well balanced dinner (meaning primarily green vegetables, a few bites of meat and a minor amount of carbs).
Exercise at least 30 minutes a day, preferably an hour.
See those fast food resturants? THEY'RE RUN BY TERRORISTS AND THEY WANT TO KILL YOUR CHILDREN! (Bwahaha)
Coke is bad m'kay? And I don't mean cocaine which is bad for you too, I mean coca cola. If you drink one 12 oz coke every two or three days, thats probably too much. If you must, drink the diet versions. Look at the back of these too, if they contain Aspartame(NutraSweet), stay away from them too, or you will go blind (literally).
I love the cooked flesh of animals as much as the next person (which is a lot, if it weren't for how bad it was for you, I would eat only meat,.... mmm bacon...), but this diet is simply BAD for you. Do NOT use it.
I would provide links but unless you're really lazy (and not going to listen to what I say anyway), I'm sure you can figure google out.
I have two diabetics in my immediate family, my father a Type 2 diabetic and my youngest sister, a Type 1 insulin dependant diabetic.
I wrote/write a point of sale system implemented in PHP using a MySQL backend. The license is GPL. You can download it at http://kfa.cx/products.php?product=WITS.
I am currently in the process of rolling out this software at my place of business, Raiford Gallery. We are a consignment based art gallery and hence the software is designed primarily around consignment point of sale.
Every single K-mart that I know/knew of is now out of business or turned into something else. I don't know where the nearest K-mart is, but I do know that it is too far away to be worth the hassle of getting carded for a stupid video game.
Chernobyl and Three Mile Island melted down because of poorly trained technicians and unsatisfactory safety protocols. Solution? Ban Nuclear Power Plants. Makes sense instead of correctly training the technicians and instituting some good safety protocols. Sure, its dangerous, DRIVING A CAR IS ALOT MORE DANGEROUS! I drive a car all the time and if it means that my electric bill is going to be a shitload less, YES, I want to live in the shadow of a nuclear reactor. Your no more dead from radiation poisoning than you are from being mangled by some semi. C'mon guys, its PHYSICS! Its not evil. The only way it can screw up is stupid and careless PEOPLE! Those are the same STUPID and careless people who want to ban it! The tech's at Chernobyl knew it was going to blow, they had been tweaking the reactor for like a week before someone finally flipped the switch which broke the reactors back.
The reason why photovoltic cells aren't the answer is because they simply do not produce enough power quickly enough to warrant the relatively high cost of manufacturing them. The technology has already been taken to its limits.
Agreed. I lived in Atlanta which has a nice rapid transit system. Not only did it cost almost as much to drive to a place (unless you were going clear across the city), the transit systems are slow, smelly, inconvenient, and unsafe. A car is a much nicer place to be. (Except on the connector during rush hour, if you've lived in atlanta, you know what I mean)
Granted, but even if a model has many successes, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is correct, but instead only an approximation with no better theory. For example with newtonian theory, it produced alot of good results, but was totally overthrown by general relativity. It only follows that advances in science will show that general relativity itself is only an approximation as well. Even string theory may turn out to be only an approximation (even though we are nowhere near proving or disproving it).
6 foot in diameter would easily allow a human in a space suit to travel through, provided the environment inside the wormhole doesn't rip him to shreds;)
What are you smoking? 1.) The Big Bang Theory is the foremost candidate for the theory of how the universe first came into being 2.) Astronomy has NOTHING to do with God. Astronomers for the most part do not like to bring religion into their work. It is NOT anti-God.
And another thing: when they say that distant galaxies are "billions" of light years away, how do they know? It's just light. Answer is: they don't. But don't let the astronomy establishment know I told you that. They'd bring me up in front of their Grand Astronomy Inquisitor and do God knows what to me.
How do you *know* that Jesus wasn't a woman? Do you really? What? You say the bible tells you so? Why do you believe the bible? Well.. I'll tell you man, I'd be more scared of those Borg than judgement day! Those borg look like their some nasty people, oh and those vampires scare the hell out of me too! Beware and always carry a phaser with a rotating harmonic and put garlic on your windows and neck!
Ok, here something that makes a little sense. You remember the Great Flood right? All those *holy* wars? Seems to me like the Gods (if there are any gods) are laughing their asses off at us while we sit here with our thumbs up our butts killing each other because we think our god has a bigger dick than your god. Even if they aren't laughing, then they would derive their power from us, in which case they would *want* us to beat the crap out of the other gods followers, than way the other god couldn't challenge them for lack of power! Either way you look at it, power-struggle or entertainment, if there are gods, we are nothing but toys to them.
I call female's 'chicks' all the time, alot times in their face, and not once have they said anything about being offended. Now I wouldn't say, 'Nigger' to a black-mans face because I don't want to get my face pounded. Its kinda silly, but if they wish to use a term we used to be derogatory, then thats fine with me. Just as long as they do not use it as an excuse to blame us for our ancestors mistakes.
What I'm trying to say is that whatever you choose to refer to yourself as is perfectly valid, and there should be no reason why YOU can't call yourself that, but no-one else can.
Actually this case will set more precedent that that. Ultimately, it will set the precedent for whether or not large corporations are in control of the governement, if the governement can slap the hands of a large corporation, and make them sit in the corner for stealing a cookie, then perhaps their is hope for our government. On the other hand, the MPAA could win in their suits against DeCSS and that will prove that ultimately, corporations run the government.
Since rights are given by God (or whatever you believe in), they cannot be taken away. Thats the definition of the term inalienable. Whats actually happened is that the wool has been pulled over our eyes to make use *believe* that we have no rights. Or rather, make us believe that we have rights when actually all we have are federal privledges (welfare, social security, student loans, federal subsidies, etc, etc). The governement, a tool used by corporations to increase revenue, has made it very difficult for us to EXERCISE our rights. Thats duress. They tell us they will take our stuff if we don't pay our taxes. They tell us we will get thrown in jail if we travel too fast. Actually, its all bull. Why do we believe it? They've got a gun in our face! We want to stay alive and happy, so we believe it. It all boils down to greed and there is no solution for it except for total self-anihilation. None of us want that, so we must fight to make things better, stop the opression, stop the brain washing.
Alot of people tell me that I'm going to get fucked with by the governement. This is true, and if you fight for your rights (because no-one else is going to), that you may have all your freedom taken away. I ask you this: What are you NOT willing to do protect your freedom?
I realize this is a bad place to voice my convictions, but unforunately, my pockets aren't loud enough for those who have the gun to hear. I consider my own life a small price to pay for freedom. You may take everything I own, rape and kill my family and everyone I know, my resolve will only be stronger, because I KNOW that I am RIGHT and I am FREE!
To those who are not willing to give their life, yet still value their freedom. Begin to think in a different way. Think about everything that is done by the government or a corporation and think, what will THAT do to increase their revenue. You'll start noticing that they do nothing which doesnt!
Actually, if we teleported someone to the sun on a signal traveling at the speed of light, it would appear to take ~16 minutes. We here on earth would have no knowledge of his arrival until the light from him reaches us, 8 minutes later, 8 minutes travel time, 8 minutes time for light signal to reach us == 16 minutes. at 2c, it would appear to take 12 minutes to get there from our perspective here on earth.
He's been to some degree 'right' on all his articles/essays. The only thing wrong is he doesn't see the big picture. Slowly, our freedom is ebbing away, taken in small, almost unnoticeable chunks by those who derive their power from us! The power the internet puts back in the hands of the people scares the hell out of government. We are begining to become oppressed. Time to oppress the government instead.
On your website, it is stated that the mouse is dead and its time to move on to something else. The mouse seems a rather important part of a windowing system. My question would be this: do you think that its time for the windowing system to die? It is an old piece of technology with numerous design problems. In my experience, I've noticed that new users are sometimes even confused by two overlapping windows. Alot of people I know are unaware of how to even move or minimize a window, even though they've been using a computer for a while.
If they are dying, what kind of alternatives would you suggest?
I think you miss the point. This is pure science and its not something thats very profitable. They do it for the same reason programmers spend late nites with lots of soda and pizza hunched over a couple of megs of code trying to figure out one problem. They want to better themselves and the human race.
Very doubtful, Photons are alternating vibrations of electrical and magnetic energy (electromagnetic spectrum) which vibrate at different rates. These photons are much too small to be 'carried' by the WIMP's. They are also too far apart and don't exist everywhere as well (inbetween galaxies, light still travels, yet there are probably very very little WIMP's). Also, photos vibrate at a wavelength much less than the average distance between WIMPs in our solar system.
I seriously doubt that 'race' had anything to do with the naming of the particle. Only a paranoid selfish person would make that assumption. If anything, the physic's community is not racists, maybe a bit close-minded, but definitly not racist.
Not necessarily. Anti-matter has the same physical properties as regular matter, but the atomic charges are reversed. It still has volume and therefor it can be dense. It is also possible that there may exist anti-dark matter as well.

Sounds like its just a lip service apology. Who really know's what his real belief's are. Either way, his credibility is probably gone.
