Yep, you just have some kind of problem getting your head around it. My proof only requires that you think and understand. Scientific proofs are useless in philosophy since no thought is required.
Hmm.. I was looking at doing something like that for AI environments.
you start of with a simple world and creatures that have simple senses and then add more complex elements, litrally evolving you AI system.
It's like giving a child a calculator to add up the shopping list, then replacing it with an abacus, and finally a pen an paper (once they've worked out how to add up!).
You could start with water thats just flat and wet and hurts a bit. then give it some depth, and viscosity, then make it freeze over in winter etc...
If God is not real then why are you hiding from ? as an Anonymous Coward.
If God is not real there is not heaven, there is no hell, when you die there is nothing, so why does it matter?, why are you a coward?, what are you hiding from? maybe the doubts in you mind?
There is one thing that is cirtain, we will never know how the universe was created (ie. the events that lead upto the creation of the universe).
To many that is GOD. If you a Numeroligist, Jew, Christian &co then the act of creation was a word, GOD uttered the word to create the universe. (I don't know about other religions sory!)
Me, I think of GOD as nothing more than the act of creation, GOD is not a someone, or a something, GOD doesn't influence me, send me to heven or hell, GOD is not an entity. To me GOD is eveything and nothing, I am just made of stardust.
I would agree wit hte support issues, the other day somone asked where the Linux USB documentation was (for writing a driver). They got the answer, in the kernel tree.
Or, documentation, well look at some of the code comments, we just tend to hack stuff out.
great master plan, no wander USB is ummmm a bit well lets say ummm buggy on linux.
XFree86 is just as bad, can you tell me what's in the next X release, there's even an alpha to download but can't find anything that tells me whats in it.
etc............
It's very important, when you don't get corporate support that you know what you've got and what the changes are, so that you can support yourself or others.
umm.... The problem is that Microsoft loses money beacuse the volume is low, windows has a high volume. Distribnution costs are next to nothing, and marketing and development are single hits. If the volume of sales of windows dropped then they would start to lose money. If the volume of sales of say exchange increased then they would start to make money.
The anti-trust case wasn't about breaking a monopoly, it was about preventing the use of the monopoly to leverage an unfare advantage in another market.
hmm.. good point, It would be nice if linuxconfig etc... gave you the option of a delta for your changes, so that you could see where the files were and what was going on.
It takes a hell of a lot of digging to find the correct configuration files, and the correct commands to reload the configuration.
n.b. A year wiithout windows at home and i havn't used a GUI configuration for the past 6 months at least. I've helped write an ADSL USB modem driver and done some poking around in the kernel.

If your going to make a statements about the begining and the end, make sure you get all you declarations in first.

Can you falsify my proof[argument]?
Yeh, I have a twin borther and have had for hte past 20 odd years. Old news.
all board mad just got sent home to see our friends (in our heads) for xmas nut cases.
didn't you know that, more prozak please.

It's called 'somones' wager, I can't remember who.
/. for a while.
Anyhow,
If there is a heaven and hell and I'm good, then I'll goto heaven.
If there isn't then it doesn't matter, so just incase I'll be good.
When I'm board I don't kill my self, I just troll on
hey, this is the only non troll I've posted on the thread. Come on mods do your worst I have kama to burn!!!!
Yeh, kill em all. More prozak please.
Well the database shouldn't take too long to put together.
as for the rest of it, do you know how long not to long is?
Your asking the how long is a piece of string question.
Well from what you've said, the database piece of string is quite short in comparrison to the other two bits.
The UI, is probably the next biggest thing
and in my experiance intergrating the the third party app is the largest and most risky piece of work.
So, I'd say it's going to take at least twice as long as you would want it too.
No, becasue he's hiding. Why does he have a point in life.
Come on I wan't him to top himself, it'd be funny. more prozak please.
I escaped. I'm not supprised you posting as a coward.
God is 3, and I can prove it. (and you wandered where the holy trinity fitted into things).
It's all a matter of state.
if everything exists in 1 state then it might as well not exist,
ie. there is nothing for comparrison, you'd have the thought processes of a stone.
if there were two states, but neither could see the other then, well, they might as well not exist. (see above).
There must be 3 states, the 3rd state being the observation, or difference between the 1st and 2nd
states.
God is the trinity.
Now all you need to do is find out how to create the 3rd state!

How, in the begining there was the word.

Umm.. XBox's yes, but then you have to not play any games, since they take a cut of the games.
Sony may loose money on PSII sales but they make money back on games sales, also M$ may not pay Nvidia for the GFX chips in the XBox
mice are blody expensive and the build quality is poor, they must make some money on them.
But yes, if you want to buy anything buy -ve margine consumer durables and no upgrades.(aka the XBox)
No windows, no gates, apache inside.
umm.... The problem is that Microsoft loses money beacuse the volume is low, windows has a high volume.
Distribnution costs are next to nothing, and marketing and development are single hits.
If the volume of sales of windows dropped then they would start to lose money.

better the devil you know, then the devil you don't.
.....And when they go, boy do they go.

It works for most companies/governments/countries, and not just the 'evil' ones.
wait for 2.4.21 if our using USB, otherwise 2.4.19 is good. check out the change logs to see if there are any issues.
I would suggest the CK patchset for the 2.4 series.
or maybe 2.6.3-4 (I expect any incompatabilitys in common software will have been resolved by then and any binary drivers will have been updated)
I hope that was your question?
