So, either evolution is just that much more proven or somewhere in the research materials they have a picture of God's hands!
Either way, major science win!

I can win arguments if I get to make up random rules, too:
That would depend on where the flame takes place. If it took place on SomethingAwful then you would win because your argument is sillier. If the argument takes place on/. then geek cred influences the arguement and my/. login number is lower than yours. However, you would still have your skills with making shit up but since I have my powers of bullshit observation it is doubtful your words will matter to others.;) no offence... I just couldn't let that garbage stand.;)
If you have a super fast solution to the sudoku puzzle family you should probably write it up. Sudoku is NP-complete... if you've solved it then you've cracked every encryption protocol known to man...
You are kidding, right? cornflower images are easy to come by on the web. Most people might not recognize it since they buy corn in a can but corn is a flowering plant.
The spammers already have wordlists, and are using them to assemble random titles and text. How much harder is it to assemble %commonword%.$rndext$ into a url?
Hint: they are already doing it. This DB is useless before it starts, unless a human picks out the real "bad address" every time one gets recorded.
*snort* Advanced robots? WTF are you smoking? We can barely get the robotic arm to do semi-automated docking of craft. Robotics aren't ready for prime-time except for specialized and repetitive tasks. Let's see a robot that can hunt down and snag a drop of water that got away. How about one that can handle and breed mice. One that can notice the mice are ill?
Nonsense. Human beings are incredibly well adapted to being general purpose tool users and most of the experiments we design rely on those capabilities.
Pound for pound, including biomass and lifesupport, humans are the most efficient machine in space.
Plus, many of the advances you take for granted in the robotics industry were spawned and pushed by the space program. And still are. Economically, America has made many, many dollars back for every dollar we've spent in space. Better food, better science, better materials, better computers.
The scary thing is, try putting "Grammer Syndrome" into Google as a phrase (that means cut-n-paste the quotes too, for ACs out there) and you'll discover that it hasn't ever been used on Google's version of the net before.
Nice. That is getting immortalized. Interestingly, the proper phrase "Grammar Syndrome" isn't all that popular either. I think you've named the phenom and also cracked the first joke on it all at the same time. Someone should mod that up.
Some zip+4 codes actually refer to the floor and suite. I know of two buildings on different college campuses where the first digit is the building, the second the floor and the last two the room. They can do all sorts of weird things with them.
Somewhere between "It is evil for Sony to make a game that is addictive but not fun" and "I'm to weak to stop doing something that used to be fun" is a real lesson in life.
Is it Sony's fault you continue to do something you no longer enjoy?
There is no cost to the decisions made by the players. No resposibility born of need to control the environment you live in.
Instead, you'd get the classic "bread and circuses" problem where the masses would just vote themselves all the trappings of the rich and hard working without earning it. It would be level 60 for everyone and to all a good pile of platinum.
A week later, when everyone owned one of everything in the game and mages could wear full plate metal and still cast, where everyone had a horse, where monks could cast spells, and everyone had their own GM following them around to make sure they were treated like a little god you'd see everyone quit because there wasn't anything left to do.
There can't be a political system because all the power is in Sony's hands. Why would they let their customers ruin it all or force them to spend so much money they had to close it all down?
Nope. Original work, not based on a prior mud. Of course, all the programmers were mudders of one sort or another but it was a new world concept and storyline.
So FUD about linux is bad, but FUD about a game is OK? When did this become/. policy?
Of course it is a business, you could rewrite this same article replacing "everquest" with "/." and everyone would howl but it would be just as true. Every form of entertainment and news media is designed to get you to come back again and again. Where was the warning about this when Titanic was sucking little girls back in for their 20th viewing?
Did someone from Sony piss in your cheerios this morning or what?
Recursive in this case means they don't walk the tree. You ask a non-recursive server "blah.zone.com." and unless it handles "zone.com.", it says "I dunno"!
A recursive server would lookup ".", then ask one of the answers to that question "com." and then ask one of the answers to that questions "zone.com.", and then finally ask the real DNS server for "blah.zone.com."
The authoritative servers aren't recursive to keep bozos from adding them to their DNS lists and beating them to death.
Actually, we don't use either. We use inquiry rather a bit more often than enquiry though. We seem to be sheding a lot of en- alternate spellings. Most american dictionaries treat enquiry as merely an alternate spelling. Other colonial offshoots seem to use "enquiry" mostly but often "Inquiry" appears as a proper noun. Thus "The Royal Commission of Inquiry has begun their enquiry into..." is seen.
It is a weird world. And the language continues to shift without regard for the 18th century Latin-derived, stuck-up, weren't-really-true-in-the-first-place rules.\
The first thing my buddy does when he touches a SUN box is load vim, bash, and top on there. Then he sighs and gets to work.
I, for one, can't stand mere vi anymore and bitch constantly till I get it going.

You think exec()ing a 4 or 10k binary is worse than spawning a new sh? Hmmm...
More people do that you care to know about. More than one project has had a "crisis" when the program won't compile/crashes once the debug stuff is turned off.
More than one thing I've done has had a hidden mode or two. My favorite is PATH_INFO hacks in CGIs. Good place to hide debug where it won't interfere with the security checks for the get/post variables
EMP weapons are extremely easy to design but extremely hard to build and make effective. The only ones that ever worked were atomic. Basically you can do anything if you have infinite power at your command. Unfortunately, all the power off a medium sized city's power grid for more than an hour wouldn't hardly knock out your whole house with the best people do right now. It takes scads of power all at once. And few layers of aluminium foil stops it dead...

For the clueless: the phrase "Hey, you did ask" is equivalent to ":)" or "^/^" and implies that the prior statement was intended to be read as humor.

I believe you could make a strong case on the fact that criminal acts aren't protected by copyright.

More concisely, CA are a limited group of identical FSMs whos inputs are the current states of their spatial neighbors.
A recursive server would lookup ".", then ask one of the answers to that question "com." and then ask one of the answers to that questions "zone.com.", and then finally ask the real DNS server for "blah.zone.com."

"Best kept secret" is actually a review for Forth, not the problem. If I'm going to have to deal with a stack, it should have butter and syrup on it.
No sweat. (Sweate? :) The extra "e" is popping up enough in google to potentially be an alternate spelling, somewhere. Sure surprised me, though.
