    You might want to read the parent's post again. And again. And again. Till you finally get what it said. Hint: it didn't say what you think it did.

    c) an incarnation of Vishnu?

    "So much for free software."
    If you were trying to be funny, you might want to have your humor engine checked.
    If not - you might want to have your brain checked.

    If it was a couple of hundred years earlier I'd say "Chinese- War of 'very soon' here we come". I wonder how they'll use that gang now.

    So you have a _digital_ modeling/effects processor which doesn't sound like a _tube stack_ and somehow that fact means that it's more difficult to make a tube amp than a rocket? Are you high?

    Sniffing on an enterprise network. A great proof of OSX being insecure :) I'm not sure I can trust the rest of the article that starts like this. And I actually happen to dislike OSX strongly.

    First, Macs _ARE_ pcs. You probably meant 'Windows'.
    Second, OSX (as well as any Unix clone) is indeed more secure than Windows by design. MS is getting there, but very slowly.

    First, I think Fedora (e.g. KDE) will be still more secure than W7 (e.g. Konqueror has AdBlock built-in). No experience with MintOS, but I'd take any Linux distro any day over Windows.
    Second, Windows is now more secure than before b/c of all the security features/paradigms that were 'inspired' by Unix/Linux/BSD/etc.

    Did you even read the article you cited?
    "...the bones tested from the ancient population, which lived in the Nubian kingdom (present day Sudan) between 250 A.D. and 550 A.D..."

    "...honey is another rich source of antibiotics."
    Where did you get this from?

    Do you think the Neolithic brain surgery was an every day occurrence or that it followed the same rules as today with the same survival rate?

    "So man has had a LOT of medical assistance for a very long time."
    Yeah, living in those times was fantastic! The gold age and stuff. Too bad you couldn't enjoy it personally :)
