You think that's bad... I saw a show on PBS about someones travels across vietnam. In many villages there is an animal market which stocks THOUSANDS of different species, for food and "medicine." Of course, many were endangered.
I'm sorry, but the more rare an animal is the less likely I am going to want to eat it. I'm sticking with chickens, pigs and cows, myself.
I just don't understand the appeal of "rare delicacies." Maybe someone can explain this cultural difference too me.
If you're already an old hand at playing MUDs and you've decided you want to start one of your own, here's my advice: take a vailum, lie down, and hide in a dark closet until the desire goes away. Just playing MUDs is masochistic enough, isn't it? Or are you trying to shave that extra point off your GPA, jump down that one last notch on your next job evaluation, or get rid of that pesky Significant Other for good? If you think silly distractions like having friends and seeing daylight are preventing you from realizing your full potential in the MUD world, MUD Administrator is the job for you.
Don't get me wrong: running a production MUD can be great fun. It can also be overburdened by politics and plagued by spiteful players devoted to making your life difficult, and otherwise be a highly frustrating endeavour. That's why I don't do it any more.
that supergeek is Steve Roberts of the microship project. I've spent many an hour at his site reading progress reports and drooling. I've submitted a bunch of stories to slashdot but they always get rejected.
Check out the monster system organizational chart for one of the boats, it is SO COOL!
But seriously, didn't he promote the idea of an "earth observatory"? That would have been a much better waste of money than the astronomical military budget IMHO
However, I don't think that people like you would ever believe it if the truth were found.
I assume the "truth" you are talking about is the existence of an omnipotent god. Science does not rule out god, In fact quantum mechanics almost suggests that an outside observer is necessary for the universe to exist. But I will gladly believe it when I see proof, till then, I will not accept the memetic virus called christianity to fill in the gaps of my knowlege to make me feel better.
I have no fear of death, I know that when it is time for my existence on this earth to end, I will spend eternity with my God.
EXACTLY! if you didn't have your faith you would fear death right?
I feel very sorry for you that you believe that this earthly existence is all that you have.... If there is no eternal life or damnation, it doesn't matter what you do here on earth, so just go have fun.
I also feel sorry for you that you find the "earthly existence" so lacking that you need the assurance of an afterlife.
I am very concerned that you consider robbing from children and the elderly "fun" perhaps it is a good thing that you have found christianity.
As the other poster replied, god is not the only fountain from which goodness arises. You are looking at the world through your own lens and cannot imagine other points of view. Maybe I like doing good works because I want to make the most of my earthly existence in the eyes of my fellow humans. Maybe I think fun is "doing unto others as they would..." One doesn't need to believe in god to love goodness.
What you call faith, I call blind acceptance of cultural myths stemming from your obvious fear of death and the unknown. So you imagine an infinite god and an afterlife simply as a defense mechanism.
Some anime is alright, but the vast majority fits your analyzition which people are calling a stereotype. Even Mononoke, though it had many redeeming qualities, seems like it was written by someone high on crack. And don't get me started on Ghost in the Shell. Can they try to make something that is at least partially believable?
I hate seeing anime banners on everything2 where they just show a character and some saying that is supposed to be cutesy. How lame.
Guys we aren't really trying to flame you, we "just don't get it"...
Once I took a color blindness test number (you know, the number that is made out of different color dots.) and made it into a pattern and background. I made an image that said "color blindness sucks" or something like that just to annoy my roommate who couldn't read it.
One way to see if your image is readable by the color blind is to simply turn the color setting down until it is black and white. But this doesn't accurately simulate color blindness.
It would be cool if someone made a computerized test for color blindness.
A user account might be all that needs to be compromised. You don't need root access to read your mail, and you don't need root to make IP connections. And with facilities like cron the trojan could make sure it was always running.
great idea, in order to get the liquid where it would do any damage you would have to hit your target in the eye, which would blind that person anyway because the projectile would put their fucking eye out! This is why people wear goggles when playing paintball.
Years back I was at the independence bowl watching the Virginia Wahoos beat the TCU horned frogs. Since it was raining, and my team was losing, the high point was the Wahoo band.
Their half time routine consisted of poor marching (if you could call it that) and jokes over the stadium PA. This was way back when the Pentium division bug was in the news.
On the speaker a voice announced, "Todays half time scores brought to you by pentium, Virginia 14.00421, TCU 3.10002"
First of all, you really don't know how "instantly" he got the reply.
I know I could do it PDQ considering that you don't even have to click through to the spanish page because google shows the lines that match the search term.
What... it would take about 10 seconds to type the search terms, 3 to get results, and 3 more to cut n' paste. That's pretty close to "instantly"...

The bicycle thing was his old project.
Think about that for a while and you will realize your post makes no sense whatsoever.

I believe the card has WEP builtin and ipchains has access control, what is the problem?
no, it's called 'alcohol'
Yeah, the fonts aren't even antialiased

this is MUCH different from what we call science.

As usual there is HOWTO that addresses this "ask slashdot" question. It is the Linux Accessability HOWTO sheesh

That really was the best part of the game...
It "Only" loads explorer.exe, rundll32.dll and display.dll, not a major part of the operating system at all huh?
I think you have just confirmed what the above poster was saying.
BountyQuest would be a good place to start.
Don't act like an expert if you don't know all the facts...

If you're wondering where the name Banjo came from Cartoon Networks's site has a funny clip.
There is no evidence that anything can or could happen from these cells.
Well some scientitists (not "science") think so, so they will test what they "believe" with the scientific method.
