Ten years from now computers will number greater than 100%. Skynet will become self-aware and begin taking over our militaries. You've doomed us all with your statistics!
I suggest reading the summary, and the rest of this thread. The argument right here is how it was phrased, which states that the gel cleans up radiation, when it actually means radioactive particles. We all know what it is, we're nitpicking pedantics at the moment.
Japanese written in Romaji doesn't have a built-in pronunciation guide, people who don't know anything about Japanese can and will mispronounce it. Just look to English words taken from Japanese, the spelling is the same but the pronunciation is different in many cases (karaoke, karate, Honda, etc.)
I find this irritating as well, but I came up with a better solution than telling the to go to hell. When they ask for my personal information, I give them a fake name and the address of a porn shop downtown. It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside to imagine one of these people calling up the number I gave them and asking for a Mr. Hugh Jass.
This still happens today. My parents have a Compaq computer that has a sleep button right next to the escape key. Not quite as destructive as a reset, but still annoying as hell.
PCWorld does this (or did, it's been a while since I've read it). Most URLs in their magazine are in the form find.pcworld.com/XXXXX, where the XXXXX is a series of numbers and the link redirects you to the right page.
There's NotScripts. It's not quite as good as NoScript, but it gets the job done and I've never had any problems with it. You could also use NotScripts for Chrome OS if you don't want to much around with setting a password when you install it.
AFAIK no modern OS supports this sort of thing. They do it for video and audio, but not images. I believe Amiga did that, but to the best of my knowledge no others ever did.
you can also destroy them by shooting a high-powered laser at the exact right point on the hull. Possibly only on the inside, and assuming the hull has not been covered in a reflective coating.
I don't know what your internet is like, but on my connection Netflix (in "high-def") is better than DVD quality, which is good enough for me. It does look pretty bad when bandwidth is low, but if I'm having cable issues I'll just go do something else.
I've seen most of the good movies made more than 10 years ago. Now I want to see (for example) Inception. Sure, I could get the disc, but I would prefer to just stream it right now, without waiting for the mail and/or shuffling my queue around.
It was stolen by big pharma. Yes, they have an agent in your home. He hides in your closet and comes out at night to reprogram your microwave to control your thoughts.
It's not so much before compiling, as after. Being able to see the running program along with your IDE and/or debugger at the same time makes tracking down bugs much easier. Especially if it's a full-screen app like a game.
True enough. Those stars aren't even going to be there anymore in 25,000 years. It was more of a hardware test/publicity stunt than any real attempt to send an actual message.
But the fact remains we're still broadcasting stuff into space that can be used to locate us, whether by radio leakage, badly conceived directed messages (better hope anyone in that direction is paying attention in the three minutes we spent sending it), or by physical probes with literal maps to our planet bolted onto the side. Unlikely as it is for anyone else to run into this stuff, we're doing it, and there's no reason to believe aliens wouldn't do the same at some point.
You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Seems pretty clear to me. Note that it says nothing about sex per se, just adultery - nowhere in the bible does it say sex is automatically immoral.
People will tell you to clean it with rubbing alcohol, but that never worked for me. What happens is that the pins on the connector get bent back after a while. There's no need for a new connector either, your old one works great after you repair it. To fix it, all you have to do is remove the connector, use a flathead screwdriver to bend them back, and put it back on. I did that years ago, and my NES continues to work perfectly - I don't even have to press the cartridge down anymore.

That's what XP mode in Windows 7 does, runs the program in a VM. You can in fact get IE6 to run under 7 like this.
Not gay at all? Metrosexuals are, by definition, straight.

Well, I guess I stand corrected. Not being a mac user I have an excuse for not knowing about NSImage, but I should have known about the Windows one.

"Brand new" maybe, but I think "State of the art" is pushing it. Chernobyl was badly designed from the beginning, without even a containment.

Yes, I can't imagine any race ever trying to send a message to another solar system.
Oh, wait...
WWU is in Bellingham, not Seattle. I know because I live about 3 miles away from it. In Bellingham.

Only one thing is impossible for God: to find any sense in any copyright law on the planet.
Whenever a copyright law is to be made or altered, then the idiots assemble.

Sadly noone responded to that with "you trusted sony with your credit card details"
There was this one priceless exchange:
55 people out there just jumped with joy at this news... the other 77 million shrugged their shoulders and went about their business.
The other 77 million are too busy canceling their credit cards...
