The mother horse gave birth to her own clone. That's somewhat like this plant I have that keeps making copies of itself. And even weirder: it's like giving birth to your own identical twin! Scary! I'm glad that I'm a man...
The use of SixNy (almost never really Si3N4 because of its huge internal stress) for membranes for transmission electron spectroscopy is quite common. You can make very thin membranes (in the order of 50-100 nm). They are very strong and thin enough for the electrons to tunnel through. With two of these layers placed very near each other you can keep the liquid in between them and still use them for TEM. And because they are non-crystalline they don't show up in the pictures that much.
I would not want to be represented by a lawyer who uses terms like 'jerkheads' or 'a**h****' without first stating the facts. This guy is VERY unprofessional.
What I don't understand is why SCO is so unwilling to show the code this is all about. If it's in the kernel everyone can already see it so why the secrecy and complicated NDA stuff?
I have Mac OSX for a few eeks now and I find it sucks major compared to XP. Aqua is barely configurable (I couldn't even make a black desktop easily), and you can't start the same program multiple times from the docker. And don't get me started about the Finder... Let's hope 10.3 is better! And by the way, why is this a troll? The guy has got a good point. Linux is almost as popular on the desktop as Mac's are, so why not test them too?

What worries me is that this professor would probably never even consider using this technology in working areas like offices and such because of the privacy implications. However, many people seem to consider kids as as sort of sub-humans that do not need privacy. When I was in school I would sometimes go to the bathroom just to be out of class for a while. With this technology even that kind of privacy is taken away from the kids.
You're certainly not. A friend of mine burned a CD to give to his sister on her birthday. If I ever get a burned CD for my birthday I would give it right back. I'd like to have the real one thank you. If I wanted a burned CD I would have asked for it. But my morals are a little bit lower than yours because I'm not going to buy a whole CD for just one song, and the music industry could have had a burner installed in every shop for just that long ago.
That's the scientific community for you. I've noticed myself that if you propose something that is not like anything they know you will always meet people like that. I allways dismiss them because in my opinion a good scientist is open for every new idea and will try to debunk it with reasonable arguments instead of telling you that it's nonsense without giving explanations or even thinking it over.
And since most users are completely incompetent in configuring and securing their PC, if I had a business I would forbid them to use their own computers for work.
To prevent the influence of the clouds you can build a tower that is higher than the clouds. But then you can only operate during the day. So you also need some mirrors in orbit to reflect the sunlight from the other side of the earth into the tower. Because of the earth's rotation you will need to be able to move the mirrors so that they keep reflecting the light towards the tower. Then you have a system that is cooler than lasers, so nerds will flock to your hospital making you rich like Donald Duck's uncle! Hehehe!
I just bought a second-hand iMac to replace the terminal next to my bed. I can now browse with Mozilla instead of Lynx, in bed, and have many good dreams afterwards:-)
$11.99 is still cheap in Europe. Here in Holland the 'normal' price for a new CD in the shops is around 20 Euros. So I always wait a year before buying them; most of them will be cheap and in the Sale boxes after that time.
As long as the amounts spent are not put into a context (by for instance showing how much can be saved if OSS is used) the amounts spent are meaningless. Some of the public may have heard about OSS, and they may know that it's 'free', but hey, Munich spend around 35 million Euros on OSS (IIRC) and that was even more expensive than going for the MS solution. Therefore this is only useful if the public is also informed about the costs and profits and drawbacks of alternatives to MS software. And why focus only on MS? That is also not fair. I can't believe the government only spends money on MS software. Conclusion: this proposal sucks.
I always wonder why they were not bought by MS because CorelDraw is a nice vector drawing program that is used by a lot of people to make pictures with that are then incorporated in a Word document. MS could have had WP and Draw in one nice package.!
What I would love to see is a GT-like game that allows you to learn to drive a normal car in everyday circumstances. It applies the traffic rules and after you've driven around for, say, 30 minutes tells you if you are good enough to drive a real car. That would help people who learn to drive a lot, AND it keeps people who already have a drivers licence alert.
You have to have some imagination to see anything in the blobs in the article. I certainly didn't have enough, so my password would be ngngngngngngngngngng.

I had a game on my '64 in which you could shoot at ZX Spectrums (Spectra?) and when you hit them they showered you with rubber keys.
And I had an Apache enter through the Windows once :-)
Ah, now I understand! I thought it was just one article on his website. Thanks for enlightening me! I'm going to read the rest now.
He had those terms on his website in the intro to the article. It put me off reading the rest of it. Did you click the link I provided?

In Need for Speed I have tried to smash my car and tear it to shreds multiple times. But even after it's been run over by a train it still works!

No because I'm quite sure that I see nothing in those blobs :-)

Cool, I got an answer from the Creator Himself! Thanks for enlightening me!
Yes, they say: You bad person! Don't do it again! Now go, and take your gun with you!
