Government is a cartell, trying to work out how much they can screw you over without being overturned.
at the moment there walking a fine line between screwing over the corporations and turning into a corporate state, running a protection racket only works when your calling the shots.
This would be true, except that most laws(if not all) prohibit activities, if the majority (or the vast >2/3's in most cases) believe that there is nothing wrong with xyz then it shouldn't be prohibited, are you saving society from it's self?
A libertarian would say this is different from saying that if the majority believe something is wrong then it should be prohibited.
I accasionally take drugs, and frequently forget that possession of drugs is prohibited, and yet, no-one has come to arrest me. Why?, because most people(everyone that's ever overheard/seen me), even though they may not believe that it's OK to take drugs, don't think that it's so wrong that I should be arrested. That is why the 'war on drugs' will never be won by the ummm..... who's fighting the war again.
Simmialrly, lots of people download MP3's or have 'pirated' software, I've never known anyone who would be that concerned about 'personal' use of pirated materal, even if that person only ever user pirated material. This is another war that will never be won.
Now if I were to walk down the street and hit someone with a baseball bat, the police would probably be called.
By doubling the word length to 64-bits.....'That is absolutely not true'
Well yes and no, the CPU speed isn't the bigest bottle-kneck in my PC, it's the memory and bus speeds/bandwidth. so doubling the word size, on the bus will improve performance.
A 32bit processor with a 64bit bus (and properly aligned data) should be faster than a 32bit processor with a 32bit bus.
There are lots of other tricks that can be done to improve cash performance and increase paralisation, but I don't think they've made it out of the super-computer market yet.
that's the clasic manager/sales man approach to development work: 'Hey look they put together a functional prototype in a few days, shouldn't take them that long to polish it off. You'll have it tomorow.'
a few days specificartion a day or so design, One week of coding, a few days testing a few days for documentation (test scripts &co) one week for UAT type testing
coding is only a fraction of the work.
given there's a minimum overhead to any coding, 1hrs coding easly becomes 2 days.
Not supprised at all, I was argueing that one is micro and the other macro. very much 6 and two 3's The problem is in expressing the micro/macro nature of things, especially when I'm more concerned with the why than the what.
' 1.

So, if the anyones done a mod using the LED lights (that show the status of HDD's, power &co) and some plastic that will carry the light and 'glow' to the appropriate colour then Apples buggered.
Well If you say that participation is the effect of one thing on another (this could include wavey things) then to the affected the effect is an observation.
If i push you then your observation is that you've been pushed.
If i merge two waves then there observation is that they become one different wave.
In this sense the observer is the affected or the participants.
Well, how does IBM, SUN &co make there money, I don't think it's through direct sales of hardware and software, more like support. Which is probably why Sun and IBM are starting to cuddle upto OSS, they never made much money from software in the first place.
Ok, you can improve on that. 1: Against each element assign a Risk. 2: Using the risks and the estimates and calculate the 95 percentile for a normal probability and quote this.
I can't remember the maths at hte moment (it's been a while). but something like
A takes 2 weeks, 1.5 with a fair wind and 4 if where in the shit. B takes etc......
plug the numbers in and you get a probability curve for when the work will be done by.
Pick the 95% change of getting the work done and use that.
My proof for the Big Bang (aka God or whatever) is that there must be three things, and you cannot find out what happened before the big bang etc....
one mistery solved, it was 'God' we can all sleep in peace.
Ok, the last word, I've nothing better to do today!
observation/participation kinda 6 and 2 threes, which is why I use 'see' in the original argument, it's a lot more fluffy and covers both observation/participation.
Unfortunately I was doing the opposite, using the fact that you cannot have existence without three 'things'. That existence (and therefore three things) is God, or the trinity.
Numerology plays a large part in the old testament, and that it is generally takes and a philosophy and not a fact, I was showing a was to define the philosophy of the holy trinity. You can extrapolate that definition to include things like God is all around us, God is in the air that I breath and in the palm of my hand, God is the beginning and the end, everything and nothing..............
I was debunking a material God as promoted by modern teaching.
No, God isn't an I or and it. God is. If you'd have put 'I see a stone there is God' instead of 'I see a stone, am I God' you'd have been on a better footing.
What is a state, Webster's says ' mode or condition of being b (1) : condition of mind or temperament (2) : a condition of abnormal tension or excitement'
So a state is a state.... hard definition that one.
What is seeing lets go to Webster's again shall we : to come to know : DISCOVER to be aware of : RECOGNIZE EXAMINE, WATCH to perceive the meaning or importance of : UNDERSTAND
Oh look to see is to see, wow how amazing....
God is the existence of all three states, your looking for an it definition of God and funny enough there wasn't one.
Now that I've been to the dictionary for you does the proof make any more sense.
the 1st state is the existence of something(this could be anything or nothing) the 2nd state is the existence of something else the third state is the difference between the 1st state and the 2nd state.
I don't mean that 3rd = 2nd-1st I mean that 3rd = -
It was a proof, you didn't know what the words meant, and you were looking for something that wasn't there. The proof was fine, your misconceptions weren't.

Well, I eat quarn, make from mushrooms, no animals in sight.
Is there really an ethical market for cow free beef?

Or even better Gill Bates
Well they would have to change depending on 'condition' so the sound to light ones are ok.
The computer does count.

Current script based viruses have.
Microsoft tends to sand-box things like the costa-blaca.VB-script was a virus writes dream come true, I hope they make a better job this time.
hmm.. she's not even that good looking.
I'm a geek, spent too long in doors. me thinks....

that is god.

Ok, I've found the original story,
My proof for the Big Bang (aka God or whatever) is that there must be three things, and you cannot find out what happened before the big bang etc....

If there is 'a' God then God must be existance.
What was the original stoty anyhows.
Unfortunately I was doing the opposite, using the fact that you cannot have existence without three 'things'.
That existence (and therefore three things) is God, or the trinity.
Numerology plays a large part in the old testament, and that it is generally takes and a philosophy and not a fact, I was showing a was to define the philosophy of the holy trinity.

God is all around us, God is in the air that I breath and in the palm of my hand,
God is the beginning and the end, everything and nothing..............
I was debunking a material God as promoted by modern teaching.
nb all I am proving is you can't have any less than three and still exist.
And that God is existance.
I think therefore I am, ok.
I am therefore something exists, well there must be at least three things.
No, God isn't an I or and it. God is.
If you'd have put
'I see a stone there is God'
instead of
'I see a stone, am I God'
you'd have been on a better footing.
No, you don't understand.
Where did the universe come from? God
Where did God come from? the creation of the universe.
God is not an it.
Umm... see you don't understand.

Hmm looks nice but I want.
Linux,
a few GB of disk space,
802.11b(saves taking the HDD out!),
Stereo sound.
Something to drive an LCD display and register a few buttons (probably backed with a PIC microcontroler).
please....
Even better if it could handle 2 MP3's and mix between the two.
Ohhh could I mod an XBox?
