You want too see the beauty of Linux Auto detection possibilities boot into knoppix. I booted of the CD, got fully configured X, working sound, Working Xawtv, Working network with DHCP enabled, and therefore working broadband, and a working CD burner. It took a whole of like one minute to boot and it was everything I neaded. I Actually use it instead of Debian now for my main distro, mounting my old hard drive as scrap space.
I guess what they really meant was that it is is more complex, has more possibilities then Tic-Tac-Toe:) I am an Awari Master in my house of total novices, but I still suck.
I read that it would take a heavy floating point spread sheet user 100 years on average to encounter the bug. They did the recall to save face, not because it was cousing systems to crash.
I know not everyone likes it, but I just think it is the most palattable to the genereal public, and the dubbing is great, subtitles and poor dub can be barriers or entry. And I still think movie vs series is the way to go.
How could you not list Akira? I know it is the almost a cliche for anime and all, but still. It is a bitchin' movie, and unlike a TV series there is a lot less investment in time to get into it.
I have to disagree with you on the vanilla in soda. I agree tht vanilla coke from the can is terrible, but vanilla flavor in in a cola from a retro 50's restarant is damned good, as is lemon in a soda, but pepsi twist is the worse thing ever.
There could be a cheat guard slider bar. Those playing from slow connections or with people they know could throttle it down and reap the rewards of trust. Those that want to play on public servers and have the bandwidth could throttle it up and reap the rewards of knowing a stranger isn't cheating (as much).
OK I think I understand what your saying (I have read through your other posts). Your saying the flying monkey is bad because you are adding energy and mass arbitrarly to the universe then taking it away at one point. But at another you are doing the opposite. Your problem being that you think the conservation of mass and energy should be local so that no point in the universe is "special", and this is the bases of all sorts of other therories, including the therory of relativity, that the time travel principals are based on. But if it would require time travel to violate the therory of canservation of energy and there is no wormhole for it yet, then enerygy/mass are conserved. I really dont think we can yet messure the mass of those realy tiny things that I read about 1/20th a nuclius in diameter. And why the strong demand that mass and energy be conserved ina local state against time, but not space? I really think this is a great on paper but impossible in reality scenrio, and not because of your precious laws, but because it involves building a wormhole, making it big enough for stuff to go though and stable, putting one end next to a nutron star for a while, then moving it somewhere practical. I don't think that because thermodynamics is as we know it is a problem.
Old think, set wood on fire, energy for us Now Think, set wood on fire, we get energy locked up in wood. Future think, Grab monkey from future, set it on fire, we get energy from future.
Wow, all smarter then me:) Anyway, yeah I gues you would nead a lot of space for all that. But still, imagine a team of people who all though the exact same way working on something. I am sure that there would be applications where that sort of thing is a lot better then a team of different people (also many where it is worse). If the case is that a team of all you get something done quicker at the cost of your lifespan in real world terms there are bound to be resumes along the line of hourly wage $X hour of existance $X. If you want to be practical about time machines I whole hartedly agree that it is bull.
and image manipulation program would have meant something to you back then? I think if you told the average person you have an image manipulation program on you computer they would go huh? But if you said I have a photoshop on my computer the would understand it at least had to do with photo images. I would call my IMP something like Photonator or something catchy like that. Or maybe photo slop, that would easily tell people it is a photoshop work alike.
The universe is a very very big place. That in mind, who is to say there is not a stable wormhole next to a nuetron star that is million's of years old?
Or that there is some other life that has one that was created to million years ago?
There is no reason to assume that it is impossible to go back in time from now just because it is impossible for use to create the device.
Imagine if a small one of these was available like a 24 hour one. How much would your time be worth? You could literaly work a full shift, eat and sleep, go through repeat. Get a month or so of work done in essentially no time, but then you go home and you lost a month of your lifespan and are aged. The rest of your familly still unaged.
Even at no pay increase you could save money real fast and buy a house or something. spend a year or two in this thing spending $20 dollors a day in expenses. Go home with thousands of hours clocked. Everyone wins, the company gets years of somebodies work done in a day, you never nead to work again.
If the sights were to really tincker with the results they would be discovered in a matter of seconds. This fact would then be posted all over the internet (at least somewhere) and the smart users would not be fooled. The dumb users would not check benchmarks and have no nead to read the code anyway, so could be fooled just as easy. There is no way open source would make bencjmark faking any easier. I mean they could post fake tables/graphs and I would be in the dark. I have no Pentium or athlon to test on. In fact I could verify the validity of the open system by recompiling with the options they chose on the compiler they chose and comparing binary files for free/time not for hundreds of dollors.
But you don't want to messure toally raw performance. You want to messure something approximating how it is going to do what you want it to do. so the bench mark should really be compiled however the vendors most often compile there software.
I people could break into systems with non criminal intent and haveshort or no sentances then they would do it. Now we have all sorts of people being good samaritans breaking into networks left and right, and not doing anything wrong. Now I come along. I say, I want to do something wrong when I am in there, and people are generating so much intrusion noise that I can slip in and out unnoticed within the sea of attacks.
I am a strong proponent of publically funded things being in the public domain, and am aware that many/most drug companies assfuck us at every opertunity. aBut it does not change the fact that without patents it would be damned near impossible to proffit from dueing drug research with private money. And since we arn't a socializm, there shoul;d be a way to do so.
Funny, when I went to school I learned about something called civil disobediance. It was a way to fight laws you did not agree with. It was practiced by Martin Luther King jr., Gandi, Henry David Thourough, and others. I am not saying this is or is not an appropriate time for unabashed law ignoring, but it is a method to fight the laws in the "real world" you speak of.
Often time drugs (the one field that I can think of off the top of my head that it is hard to say patents harm more then promote the research in) cost billions to develope and take years for FDA approval. I would hate to have one year to recoup the costs on my billion dollor investment. but ten years seams reasonable. thats assuming a 4 year approval period.
As far as I know Edison could have been flat out lieing to protect his interests there.
As an oposer to the death penalty he reveresed his opinion and said that execution by AC electric chair would kill very fast and be humane. He did this to scare the public about AC current at the cost of his ethics. So I really think it is not a stretch to say he was lieing about the whole DC thing too.
If a movie is a total bomb in the US they can skip marketing/translating it for earopean release. This will cut losses from a terrible movie bbecause you will not nead to market it world wide and translate it into umpten languaages. But if it is really good, the buzz it created in America will actually have people in Europe itching to see the movie, and it could very well be more successful due to its later release. Also, people may go see movies at different times. We get our big ones over the summer, if in Europe they get them 6 months later that is the winter. I doubt that is an accident, if summer were the best time to release a movie, it would be a simuteaneous release, 12 month offset for European releases.

Not just the start button, but the entire task bar has infinate bounds. It's about time though.

I would think that Photoshap actually conveys more meaning then Image Manipulation Program to the general public. But maybe I am just lame
That might as well say ...

So when ram was a very limmited resource they wasted it by having values such as 21 12 redundant and both piting at 2?
how big did this table go?
was it up to FF hex, and after that you couldnt use it?
or did you just invent it?
