Toynbee, who lived from 1889 to 1975, was best known for his theory that humanity's perception of its history shapes its future. This theory was turned on its head and used as the premise for a 1983 Ray Bradbury short story titled "The Toynbee Convector" in which a character by the name of Stiles travels 80 years into the future and returns with stories of mankind's marvelous achievements. Stiles' reports of a future free of war and disease (ie, Rob Malda's GRID (Gay Related Immuno Defficiency)) prompts people to join forces to work together to attain this future and in 80 years they have succeeded. Stiles then reveals that his story was a lie. But the world he prophesied has nevertheless come to pass, validating a kind of corollary to Toynbee's theory, that humanity's perception of its future shapes its present.
Al Jazeera is a TV channel which particularity is to mostly be broadcasted in the Gulf countries.
As you may now, before terrorists, these countries host oil producers.
Because of the great fear of losing control when all of the oil will have been drilled, it sounds obvious that these billionaires are interested in investing in alternative power sources such as this one, so that they are certain they'll keep control of worldwide energy sales...
Terrorism is just an artefact that has been added after "some" occidental countries decided to interefere with the local governments...
Excuse me, Sir: In Armageddon, the meteor was "as big as Texas", now, this one is "roughly the size of Philadelphia". Now, for the non-US guys here, could you translate ?
Well, nowadays' motto is "all at once". It'd have been better if our grandgrandgrandgrandgrandchildren were about to discover it in several centuries from now... I guess somebody would not appreciate the loss of the copyright, had it been published later...
So, I'd say, some right holder was looking for easy money, found some essay, published it. Now, it's being hyped and will make money.
I guess you meant BFS, the BeOS filing system ? I worked with it and it was really good. The guy that wrote it also wrote a very good file system design and implementation manual which I can't find anymore on O'Reilly's web site...
Sorry, had to add this because I got this message : Reason: Your comment looks too much like ascii art. (if you have to mod me down, I pity you for not downmodding the slashcode-moronic-filter first)
Four of the 40 lawsuits in San Jose are due to go to trial next month. All the suits are being watched extremely closely by the semiconductor industry, which had been warned for years that chip-making and other processes requiring the use of tremendous amounts of toxic chemicals(such as Rob Malda's manseeking semen)might be associated with cancers, miscarriages, birth defects and other very serious health problems.
I have not seen the Thames, except in "A Fish Called Wanda" (and the few views were taken quite far from it), but I remember their "Smog" : while landing in London on a lovely summer day, the plane flew through something dark, opaque, a few meters thick, then landed in Heathrow.
The sky had become beige/gray and the temperature had risen.
That's why I am somehow concerned by the pollution level in London, I have to say it is much worse than in Paris and only a decent education could help fixing it : teach the people to ride their bicycles to work instead of mass-farting in the sub, forbid the cars in the Zentrum.
But just make them understand a daily physical effort might postpone the day they'll have to wear oxygen masks outside.
The company responsible, Aquada, suggest it's a good way to avoid congestion.
Well, it is, if you can prove it won't pollute the waters. BTW, I don't know how it is elsewhere, but in France, boats over a given cylinder volume require their pilot to hold a license.
All of these assertions were based upon their immediate operationality. Now, for each of the civilization advances, we knew some drawbacks : every occidental now has (or could have) a car, but the level of pollution has grown to a serious level, hence the priority change.
At this moment, most of these researches may have had their priorities lowered to face the consequences of the previous inventions...

Did you also switch ? ;-)
if one virus -> several vira, then virus would be neutral ?
I just learnt somethhing...
or IHBT...
Ahem ... ;-)

For us, French-speaking people, we stick to Latin as it is still solidly anchored in our language :
it should then be viri.
virus vire virum viri viro viro, viri viri viros virorum viris viris...

Well, the oldest stuff is not supposed to change that much, is it ?
I actually thought the story was supposed to be bug-proofed by subscribers... ;)
I do not want to look anal but I think the submitter meant "last month" :-)
I found some Choulette in a "Whole Food Market".
Well, why hasn't he asked a French Dude ?
He could also have Googled around...
Or maybe proposed the cider (I know, this is not beer, but Budweizer is not beer either).
I agree with you, I also expected the indispensable mood-relieving Zombo.COM.
We had an interesting thread about Qemu...
It's closed too...
My problem is regarding the words "protect consummers".
Another possibility would be to use Panda Software Antivirus (free -as in beer- edition).
It is intended to protect consumers from widespread counterfeit copies of Symantec programs.
I don't believe it as a main cause.
