There's 7.7 billion people on this planet and only ~1.8 billion seconds in a 90-year lifespan. Even if you tried to care about every single person, 1 second for 1 person, your life would run out by the time you hit 1.8 billion if you are lucky to hit 90. Kind of a pointless venture. That's why i find these groups who represent an entire gender or race moronic. You don't even have the basic math education to realize you don't have the lifespan to represent them all for 1 second each, yet you are pulling this shit? Get the fuck outta here.
Agree with your logic, but not your math: 90 * 365.25 * 24 * 60 * 60 = 2,840,184.000 so more like 2.8 billion seconds
Technically Aphelion and Perihelion refer to distance from the Sun for Sun-Orbiting bodies. I'm not sure what the term for min/max orbital distance for Mars orbits would be. Since greek for Mars is Ares, maybe aparion and periarion ?
If the TiVo is collecting 'every click' could I just tape down the 'up channel' button on my remote and go to work?
If not that, maybe get an IR Dongle and have my computer randomly send viewing commands to the TiVo at an absurdly rapid rate. Wonder what that would do to my 'viewing habits' ???
Ultimately, you could return to the store with your new shopping list, feed it into the cart and it would plot an ideal path through the store to get all your items. No wandering back and forth looking for the Peanut Butter, which is not with the Jams and Jellies, but in the breakfast cereal area (?).
I could see it also suggesting which cashier to line up for, for quickest service...
Good work on his part then. Too bad he can't see any of his acheivements though.
Not necessarily so. Maynard Hill is legally blind, which may simply mean he can't see well enough to drive. It certainly doesn't mean he can't see at all.
No, its going to be called Universal Networking, and be available in 2009. To distinguish it from their other software offerings, the last 2 digits of the release year will be represented in roman numerals...
On another note, I've heard (someone please verify) that the military uses explosives to take care of old hard drives and storage media.
I seem to recall a usenet post about some chap that was attending a some conference and the subject of deleting data from disks came up during conversation . One of the attendees said something like well, where I work, we just put our old drives into a hole... you know, the one that the next N-Test is going to be fired off in...
Everyone laughed at that, til they realised the speaker wasn't joking...
If the license is enforcable then presumable this clause is as well:
IMPORTANT - READ CAREFULLY: This End-User License Agreement ("EULA") is a legal agreement between you (either an individual or a single entity) and Microsoft Corporation for the Microsoft software product identified above, which includes computer software and may include associated media, printed materials, and "online" or electronic documentation ("SOFTWARE PRODUCT"). The SOFTWARE PRODUCT also includes any updates and supplements to the original SOFTWARE PRODUCT provided to you by Microsoft. Any software provided along with the SOFTWARE PRODUCT that is associated with a separate end-user license agreement is licensed to you under the terms of that license agreement. You agree to be bound by the terms of this EULA by installing, copying, downloading, accessing or otherwise using the SOFTWARE PRODUCT. If you do not agree, do not install or use the SOFTWARE PRODUCT; you may, return it to your place of purchase for a full refund.
So, somethings got to give: Either the EULA is enforceable and you CAN return the product for a full refund, or the EULA isn't enforceable.
Only thing I ran into was that if you're going to run X is that it has no clue what video card VMware is using. No surprise there really. Did what I needed in 256 colors though.
X:1 -query vmwarehost is your friend, or Xnest, if you prefer.
Well, obviously the fist thing we need to do is get rid of that Megabyte character. Where are Bob, Dot, Matrix, AndrAia and Frisket (especially Firsket!), when you need them?

Dunno. I think a real spaceship might be more practical.
but what are you saying "No no no" too [sic]

The only real problem I can see with this is that he's probably going to be put in front of a telephone and a call list ...
Maybe if we could bend cables like this, it would be /. worthy?

Of course, you know that when trying to establish a ppp connection, pppd at 300 baud will time out before the tcp session is fully constructed, right?
Concrete. Where would we be without concrete?
Perhaps it's the inter-planetary equivalent of banging on your neighbors wall when they're making too much noise?

Wasn't the Hindenberg a hydrogen blimp?
In a word, no. A blimp is a non-rigid airship. The Hindenburg was a Zeppelin , which was a rigid airship.

And oh yeah, Red Hat's boxes don't go crashing down when you hook them to a MS DHCP server. SCO's sure did. Nice TCP/IP stack there McBride.
Ass.
Heh! and a flood ping aimed ad OS 5.0.4 would cause a kernel panic.

So Michelangelo, working on the Sistine Chapel wasn't an artist. Who would have thunk it?
