I doubt a CD or DVD left untouched would be 1000 years from now. Perhaps the gold master would be if it was kept.
Also with film old they often go to the original and clean up the output (there was an article about how they did it on/. within the last year). I do suppose that a well kept gold master would outlast most types of film.
I heard that 100 degrees F was the tempurature of the guys mouth (forget his name), and zero was the coldest tempurature they could get (ice mixed with alcohol BTW).
Also, there is huge money in malware, recently a/. article mentioned some high-school drop out making 6000 a month. though not extraordinarly large amounts of money, it is a hell of a lot. And if you are a slacker it is hard to get that much money out of college tax free (even if you arn't a slacker it is).
Well KOffice has the advantage of having its own desktop environment to work with.
Without KDE it could just not have those features, and on it use them. If I am not mistaken the KDE team has already integrated some stuff into KDE that the OS is unaware of (in removable media)

There was a game with a "64-bit" version only for AMDs. It was basically new textures.
When I buy a movie I plan on watching it at least 2-3 times, and with other people.
that is 6 hours for me, and another 6 at least for other people. Sometimes I watch it with a half dozen people.
When I buy a well reviewed game I expect to play it for about 20 hours, but it may be far less (like 2) or far more (like a bazillion), but I plan on playing it mostly alone, or maybe with one other person. Not since Worms on the Genisis have I played games in a larger group. So that movie is providing far more people hours of entertainment then the game.
Movies being a social thing have a large added value, they can be a date, they can be something to do with friends while you drink (so can some games), and they can bring together disparate groups of people to enjoy themselves together (for example we watched Black Adder DVDs over the holidays when the family was together, the set was less than $100.00, and no amount of spending on video games would have had the same value.
Also, disguised program tricking the user to click it and doing destructive things sounds like what a trojan is, but again I am not really in the know.

I know I post this every time someone touts lack of options in OS X making it easier to use, but I think it's worth mentioning. In OS X you cannot control mouse speed and accelerqation independantly. This makes using a touch pad on their laptop very difficult, bucause my finger does not move at a steady rate. What this does to me is cause the mouse to move real slow (low acceleration) or jerk between reasonable and fast (high acceleration). Mac users seem to think that eliminatin choices that many computer users have taken for granted for a decade accually makes the computers easier to use, but it is just not true. By completly hiding that functionality away and not even having an advanced option, it makes the computer a nightmare.
This may be a nit, but it is a bigger problem then window behavier (I am sure more non-power users adjust the mouse than the behavier).
The thing I like about KDE is that it forces you to copy, link, or move with every drag and drop. The choosing which to do behind the scenes is semi-random to the average person.

Everyone has a right to ask these kinds of questions, not just creationists. Science demands that the questions get asked so that there can be answers. I'm not jumping on you, just making sure that is clear.:)
It is a fair to ask, and I just wanted to point out that there is no end to little nits and picks the creationists will add to bolster their therory, working from the premise it is true. The fact that we see change but no speciation in our observations of the moths for example (most obvious adaptation I know of as a laymen) is actually evidence that proves creationism. It is that thinking I disapprove of.
Which would introduce the difference between adaption and speciation. Where is that difference?
The difference is that an entire population all changing is adaptation. It must fork into 2 groups that cannot have sex to be speciation.
what is speciation but an accumulation of adaptations?
If an entire population changes leaving none unchanged, then it is not speciation in the sense it was meant.
Step one, go to the ISP's (Cable is $40.00 to $60.00 a month) and say we want 10% of your fees please.
Step two, and ISP chooses to buy it and advertises unlimited free legal music downloads, use the P2P network of your choice, and even offers there own client that has built in virus/trojan/spywhere checking.
Step three people like me who have a small fear of getting in trouble when they download an album every now and again join the ISP unaware of the fee.
unfortunatly without a spying client they could never distribute the money fairly.
Face it, when you're dealing with billions of lines of code, it's easy for a vulnarability to be overlooked.
That is why you should make an effort to design your specs (wmf) to not have built in flaws. I doubt wmf specs were millions of lines, and then Windows (all versions) and WINE would both be safe.
Letting people vote in the open is a bad idea. All you need is a thug to tell people "you better vote in the open so we can verify you vote in your best interest" and have them break legs of people who vote wrong or privatly. If private voting is not mandatory, then it is worthless.
By supporting this system of allowing people to vote in the open you are undermining one of the most important parts of a free democratic voting system.
