Now all we need to do is get a computer to emulate the graphics card, hook it up to an open slot in another computer, and write a linux driver for it. Then we, too, can experience the joy of playing Quake 3 through Wine at a resolution of 200 X 180 at 10 FPS.
They are a regional monopoly. I don't see Verizon selling anything here but wireless services. The land line phone service is all Qwest, nobody but Qwest. Although I personaly think Qwest hasn't a clue what it's doing anymore. I did a stint for Qwest as an outsourced cutomer service thingie, and from just the stuff they had my group do, it was apparent that they had no direction at best. If I remember correctly they had bought out a ton of other companies. I would go so far as to say that they don't know what to do besides buy other companies. I have a longer rant about corporate takeovers, but that's for later.
working on his own, and used his great idea to build a company around it, (Edison Electric Lights)
Edison was NOT working on his own when he came up with the Electric Light. IIRC, it was his TEAM of engineers that eventually came up with the electric light. However, I believe Edison discovered the effect that led to the invention of the vacuum tube.
If I remember my high school biology correctly, there are 4 nucleotides, and it take 3 of them to encode an amino acid, basic math...4*4*4=64. We earthlings aren't even using half the code space provided by our current DNA system. Just 1 more and we're there at half.
Drug-dealer1: You know, we just aren't making any money at this
Drug-Dealer2:You're right. If only there was some other illegal activity we could engage in that would make enough money so that we could continue our felonious distribution of illicit substances.
Drug-Dealer1: Hey! Why don't we sell pirated CDs?
What, the profit margins on cocaine fall through the floor suddenly? Oh the absurdity of it all. On that list (drug dealing, arms trading, money laundering and terrorism) the only thing that needs to be funded is the terrorism. And according to the government propoganda, they use drug money (like the CIA does) not pirate money.
Tell it to my mom. Her credit is still spotty after someone used her good name to fund thier good time. The system IS that easy to break, the only reason the financial world is still standing is because most people don't know where to start, and wouldn't do anything with that knowledge anyway.
How the hell can you promote DUMBER shows? It's like trying to make something colder than absolute zero. We hit rock bottom with Springer. Everything else is trying to cash in on that kind of idiocy. Survivor, Who want's to admit they're a gold-digger, fear factor, ANY dating show, Regis. X-files is GONE, there were rumors of killing of Dateline or somesuch, 'news' shows are blately promoting products (when did a new cola flavor become news?) You want TV DUMBER? Explain to me how it is possible...
one of the cool things that can be done with a set up like that, is that the planets stick out like sore thumbs in the data. Also, you get to do spectral analisys on the data to find out the compnents of the atmospheres (or surfaces?) Unfortunately, you don't get to see any groovy little blue dots...just some funky looking false color images with bright spots...
Walking is NOTHING like crawling. It is not an extension of crawling. However I can be persuaded to thin otherwise if you can point to research that shows walking is an extention of crawling.
If you read the Green Lantern Bible that Niven wrote, then you come to realize that all humaniod creatures in the universe are descended from the Oans. The Oans are, of course, the gaurdians of the universe and founded the Green Lantern core. The Oans' guard power is a super powerful psycic power.
What does this have to do with Superman? Well, since all humaoid life is descended from Oans, then all humanoid life has latent guard power. All of Superman's abilities are psycic in nature. He has heat vision, a primitive form of the kind of thing that was going on in firestarter. He can fly. Many spiritual disiplines say that with practice a person can fly. He can see through things. This is more of a clairavoyance than actuall xray vision. Also Superman is vulnerable to magic.

I didn't, but I did wonder just how many A. Cox's there were in England.
mmmm... I wonder what a quark tastes like...

sorry, my reading is bad...i thought he said 31st known amino acid instead of 22nd. Hoo boy do I need some sleep.

Why yes it is...how'd you know?

Whats needed now are full body suits and stripper MODs...heh heh... FPS=First Person Stripper...
Is it a supercomputer? Where's that FBI number?
Does anyone have a mirror? The reason is obvious.
Hey you stole my joke...I was gonna say something about stopping him from building his terrorist training device...
Ok nine inches is a start, but it's still a long way from orbit.
This is water susspended in "a kind of macromolecular polymer extracted from animals and plants". Sounds like the Chinese just invented Jello...
Not that it muh matters because I distincly remember seeing a tv show showcasing this kind of thing 10 years ago, at least.

Hey now...I am offended by that as a former republican...what's this sign here? don't feed the flaming trolls?...DOH!
Don't waste your money...I hear that there are these new things called 'orthicons' that are gonna sweep the industry...

Now your talking! You haven't smelt a Unix guru lately have you?
You mean like a balanced ternary?

I think I remember an article where the DOE and/or Military tried that. It wasn't too good for the babies...
