No. It is based on the concept that whether a woman enjoys sex or not, she should try to profit in some way (either by acquiring a happy marriage or by acquiring vaulable goods). A woman who does it only for pleasure is a whore.
Ahh, but God's power is immeasurable. He is more powerful even than the hottest cheese plasma. However, God can do anything he chooses. What if He choose to create some creation more powerful than Himself? Could He do it? Of course. But isn't He the most powerful thing in existance?
This line of logical thinking actually can lead to either St. Anselm's "proof" of the existance of God or a "proof" of the non-existance of God. Actually, it either prooves nothing, or if you take those statements to be true, you can proove anything.
Basically,
1. For all x, G > x. 2. There exists some y such that y > G.
How do these two statements resolve? They don't. True equals false, black equals white, anything and everything becomes provably true and provably false at the same time. But this is high school logic bullshit. If you want to use math or logic to get people to believe in God, explain to them the Church-Turing thesis or that relationship between the roots of the Reimann Zeta function and quantum physics or discuss incomputable functions.
Before people flame me for believing in God, let it be known that I am an athiest. I know, however, that there is beauty and order in the universe. I have seen the proof in mathematics and physics and computer theory. I have an appreciation for beauty, and distaste for arrogance.
When figuring cost, keep in mind that the PVRs are a device and subscription service wheras the PC solution is a one time investment.
This is a good thing, considering that SonicBlue's stock is at $0.50. If SonicBlue folds, what will you do with that $400 box? If it ran Linux, at least you'd be able to hack it to do something different.
If it's from Microsoft, there is no way it will be free. Accordingly, will the open source movement need to stop using the phrase, "free as in beer"?
Maybe we can convince Microsoft to name their product "Lunch". That way, everyone will automatically realize that there is no such thing as a "free Lunch".
Hacker ethic says "share the information with everyone, including the guys in black hats". HP would prefer if the Snosoft guys would only share the information with HP so they can fix the problem. Snosoft was willing to do that, so long as they are paid as consultants.
Even hackers need to pay the rent and put food on the table. We're not all independantly wealthy heirs to petroleum fortunes.
This reminds me of that type of fish you can order in Japan where the chef will cut into the fish while it is still alive to slice off pieces of the fish to give to customers. The fish is alive, gasping for air. When you eat your piece of fish, the muscles in it still twitch as you chew and swallow it.
It's not really killing it in a cruel way just to watch it happen, it's doing it in a way to enjoy eating the resulting meat. Aparrantly this is a very uncommon delicacy and it is very very expensive.
God created this whole "survival of the fittest", "heirarchy of murder" thing, so go complain to him.
Heh heh. If you kill it, you've got to eat it. That's great. Oh, you killed a cockroach that snuck into your kitchen? You can't let it die for no reason! Scrape it up and put it on a plate! You hit a coyote with your car on the way home? Better put it in the trunk for later.
I agree with you that the state government should again take up its responsibility to the general population and treat the mental health of the impoverished as well as other kinds of disease and health problems. A bum is treated for free if he has a broken leg or pneumonia, but not if he has schizophrenia or manic depression. It is terrible that these diseases are ignored when amazingly good treatments exist for them and would be relatively inexpensive.
You are a stereotypical tree-hugging homeless-hugging hippe loser who doesn't actually do anything with these people.
Fuck the homeless. They are smelly, dirty, scary, weird, perverted people. They are usually drug addicts and/or alcoholics. They go to the shelters for the free food, but they hardly ever take advantage of the services offered to help them clean themselves up and get a job. The single mother who lost her job and lives on the street for two nights before getting helped by one of the public service groups is a tiny tiny minority of the homeless population.
Most homeless people aren't interested in getting themselves cleaned up, getting jobs, and joining the blue-collar lower-middle-class. They think, "why work hard and live a poor life when I can do nothing and be handed a poor life for free?"
DVD's are even better if you break the rules and use a ripper to rip movies to DivX so you can have a huge archive of movies on your 120GB drive without having to flip through a stack of discs. Oh yeah, and they're also much better if you only use cracked players that will let you play discs from any region.
Digital doesn't mean high-quality. Listen to satellite radio. It's 200 channels of "grainy sounding" poorly encoded ~64kbps music and news.
Try "stty erase " then hit your backspace character, then enter. That should change your tty settings for that session. You can put that in your shell startup file (.login,.cshrc,.profile,.bash_profile,.bashrc, etc) if you want it to do it automatically for you. In vi, you'll probably have to type control-v in order to get it to ignore the next character. Use control-q (I think) in Emacs.
Ahh, but his TERM isn't broken. He isn't typing control-H, but the two characters ^ and H. It's a type of joke, based on the old BBS days when you could insert backspace characters in a message and when it printed out over a 2400 baud modem, you would be able to see it print the first message, then backspace and overwrite with the second message. There is no equivalent in todays modern graphical systems. Some of these Slashdot nerds^H^H^H^H^Heditors, however, will pretend that the trick somehow still works. The visual effect is lost, however.
Most Japanese cars that make it to America are the shitty civics and sentras and accords. There are a few "low-end luxury" cars like the Lexus and Acura and Inifiniti cars, but very few of the really high performance Japanese cars arrive here (an exception being the overpriced, outdated Acura NSX).
some medium that'll let me give a few megs to a friend for 25 cents, and let me carry it in my pocket without risking destruction from scratches
3" CD-R discs with some kind of sleeves. Maybe also include some kind of parity data like PAR files to allow for more scratch resistance. Or maybe include the data track multiple times.

Oops. Yes, I meant slut, not whore.
No. Three letters. "go", "ji", "ra".
No. It is based on the concept that whether a woman enjoys sex or not, she should try to profit in some way (either by acquiring a happy marriage or by acquiring vaulable goods). A woman who does it only for pleasure is a whore.
C is a perfectly good cross-platform assembly language.
C++ is an inconsistant, bloated, pseudo high-level, partially object-oriented, Frankenstein somewhat C-compatible language.

Oops. SBLU closed at $0.43 today.
Also, it is $449.99 for the basic ReplayTV, not $400.

Encouraging canibalism among trees is a good thing? :-)
Maybe it's because that security flaw doesn't affect them unless they're running on Windows, which they're not.

Riiiiight.... it was Bruce who really enlightened them to the fact that what they were doing was wrong, and not all the bad press they were getting.
US$109. Ouch. Curse Sega. Of course, they probably come from Japan, where you can still find Dreamcast stuff in game stores.
Whatever. I obviously wasn't being serious.

Or it could be considered an "in-joke".
What would the antenna be for? At least on cable you can pay for channels that show movies without commercials and with all the curse words.

Yes, and a twin-turbo Skyline GT-R would kill either one of them.

A Nissan Skyline GT-R is a pretty sweet Japanese car. Learn Japanese and click here.
