Sex is physiological, while gender is the mental expression of the physiological nature.
Gender was correct, because although fewer "girls" are geeks when looked at it from the physiological side, look at how few girls are geeks when looking at it from the gender side.
<judicial stereotype>I mean look at the football primadonna's, would they be caught dead learning something???</judicial>
This is just what we need, a way to rip our own DNA to shreds for the amusement of our selves, our children, and to the detrimental terror of our neighbors. I can see the commercial now.
Bored with board games? Tired of those inoportune visits by your neighbors, relatives, and door to door salesmen? Well, imagine the fun one could have in creating a new life form. Use PCR to genetically mix your dog and cat. Use PCR to clone your children into the Eintstiens you have always wanted...
<blatant plug> I used PCR to advance my genes beyond that of normal human beings, and now I have brain cancer from my enlarged frontal lobe. THANKS PCR! </blatant plug>
Yes, that is PCR, create degenerate copies of yourself, advance yourself beyone the natural order of your neighbors. Create beings with supernatural powers...wake the dead, Your imagination is the only hurdle, Why don't you use PCR to do away with it?
<blatant plug> Before I used PCR, I was the life of the party, and now I'm regarded by everyone I meet as an aberrant decrepit freak of nature. Before, I couldn't even get noticed by women, but the shrieks and cries I get as I walk down the street are music to my ears. THANKS PCR!</blatant plug>
That is PCR, order NOW... only $19.95, plus shipping and handling. We are sorry no COD's.
I have a question about this system. One time pads have been around forever, and dividing the information would protect it, possibly, but how would someone know which pad has the data they need? It would require a distributed list of pad numbers, and their contents, which would defeat the whole purpose.
If someone had a text file that they wanted to encrypt, using this would be a waste, because then only they would be able to get to their information. Oh, I see know, this protects free speach by making it so that no one else hears it. Which would protect one from prosecution, because if only you have access to the information, you can say what you will.
A better way, would be to use a variation of the Venegier's square, which would make it indecipherable to those who don't have the key, weed out those without the patience for subversive measures against supposedly oppressive governments, and give the jolly old guys at the NSA something to do with their time...

First, the Internet was not invented by the military from any country. It may have evolved from military projects but that does not mean that it was created by the military.
Second, how many Americans do you know that actually speak English? Very few. Further, how many Americans do you know that speak Mandarin Chinese? Or any of the myriad languages spoken there?
I must apologize for my errant misspelling of a monopolistic company. It appears that I was in err, and that I should have used my old favourite 'Monkeysoft' in place of the ever popular Micro$oft.
Again I apologize and withdraw any post I have made to the offense of anyone...

P.S. Why would I want to use HTML in my posts? Isn't that as banal as using the abbreviation M$? Apparently not...
...the impression that OS X was compatible with linux/bsd binaries, wouldn't then the VM Ware binary work on the OS X?
If VM Ware is able to work on OS X Mac's why is M$ porting their pitances to Aqua anything of note? All it would really take is VM Ware, virtually running Win98, and people can use their m$ office crap...

I seriously hope that Radio Shack employee's aren't putting the thing together. Seriously, it would (1) take off... (2) Orbit the moon for three years, then (3) mail itself back to the Earth on a postcard.
Last time I went to a Radio Shack, actually, I went to two of them, and asked for a circuit repair pen. You know, one of those pens that drops flecks of gold onto your circuit so you don't have to do a solder drop. Well, the first place, I had the guy handing me everything from RCA jacks, to coaxial cable, and the second Radio Shack called up Texas and was on the phone for an hour while I waited until they told me that they had in no uncertain terms ever heard of 'cricket, I mean, circuit repair pens.' then they gave me a free 25% off card and told me to come again...**shudders**
The last I heard, Napster was a program. How does the RIAA expect to bring an injunction against a program and its users? There are literally millions of Napster users in the US, and more outside it. What hubris is it for them to assume that those outside the country will adhere to the judge's rulings? With Napster out of the way, I say those users of Napster start using napster...its a different product see! the 'n' isn't capitalized...
(1): It has been made public by the Federation of American Scientists, apparently, this is also where the chinese have been getting secrets, in addition to stealing them. <according to zdnet> Argh, we don't need any more nuclear secrets running around...goodness, with Kentucky on our left, and Djibouti on our right, its a wonder we are still a world-player...

What's scary is the fact that people come up to me complaining about linux' apparent lack of standards, and then proceed to tell me that m$ is a great company because they established the standards that everyone uses.
That's funny, I could have sworn that was ANSI's job, and that m$ has been stealing ideas since the beginning...
Is this what SCO is going to try and do? Hijack the band-wagon, and in the end during their anti-trust suit, spam the tele with commercials claiming "This is where new technologies are developed."?
Yes, most people are easily shepherded into paying for things they don't want anyway. So, it wouldn't be difficult, all it would take for the artists to get paid would be to appeal to the peoples stupid side: I.E. posting "Would you like to visit my sponsors?" underneath your ads generally generates more hits than simply posting the ads. Having the phrase "Secure Site" blink on a website, during an experiment convinced people that a site was 'secure' and they sent personal information. So, with a little knowledge of the psyche, and a little time, Napster, and the Artists could stand to make a large amount of money.
I started on an ancient Apple IIc, and pootled about on there for a few years, this was back in ninety-two. In ninety-four, I was on a windows 3.1, and did the whole DOS/Windows thing...then I "graduated" **cough cough cough, hack, sic** to Windows 95. **shudders** I pootled about with that, basically doing ####. ---insert relatively obvious profanity-| And then I found Linux... I loaded it...got pissed off at LISA, but continued on, adversity...what doesn't kill me delays the inevitable, etc...I got Linux loaded, and argh! I hadn't installed the X-drivers...all I had was Xconfigurator, which wasn't working...so I rebooted, and installed the correct drivers, and voila...I had a working Linux box, replete with an ugly X gui...I wasn't interested in the looks, if I had been, I would have gotten a Mac...it took me a total of 13.8 hrs including the first install, because I had input one wrong option...(Stupid curiousity...etc...) Now the only problems I have with my Linux box, is that the hard drive is getting full, and the video card got fried so I had to get a new one.(Sibling, and paper clips...**grimaces**) This from a "windows" weened, user. I think that someone is filling everyone full of ####. What does it matter if most idiots couldn't compile X if their lives depended on it? Is it me or is everyone overlooking the fact that computers do come pre-installed, and configured? It would be no different than going to purchase a windows box...save it wouldn't crash...at least not as long as I've had it... -Sempiternity p.s. I'm running an old Caldera distro, so maybe I'm ####### up.
L0pht Heavy Industries has been working on a 10Mogobip wireless network for two years now, they've gotten nodes in Boston, Derry New Hampshire, Cambridge Massachusetts, and Somerville Massachusetts.
Apparently, they have gone beyond simply using microwave, they are also using radio (which is a staple to the guerrilla.net system)...and the security breach he was worried about has been solved...by (1) an NSA approved encryption system, and (2) (which hasn't been implemented) another encryption system "to keep the spooks out".
Ugh...this looks bad, pardon my poor grammar, as I've not completely woken up. For more information, please click the link above.

Why is the picture on the first page of buckministerfullerene??? Any idea? C60 is not steel so what pertinence does the picture have to the story??
It says 'H is not a #', and probably looks screwed up cause I was drunk when I wrote it.
