Most employees aren't responsible enough to be as effective at home as they are at work.
I've found the opposite to be true. People feel as if they're being held responsible for actually doing something if they're working for home. Where as if they show up at the office, they feel they've done their part, and spend hours in other people's cube, chatting for 5 minutes about the project, and and hour about other BS. Then they spend 20 minutes grabbing a cup of coffee.
If you downloaded videos of baseball games from MLB.com before 2006, apparently they no longer work and you are out of luck. MLB.com, sometime during 2006, changed their DRM system. Result: game videos purchased before that time will now no longer work
The change was made sometime during 2006, and its now October 2007, and people are only noticing this!?
The resolution of a vinyl record can't be higher than the length of the needle. Just as the maximum amount of data on a CD can't be wider than the wavelength of light used to read it.
And the mellowness and lack of dynamic response you talk about in Analog? That's data loss.
A supercomputer can perform a teraflop. That's the definition of supercomputer, and it has been since the word was coined by the government in the 1970s in order to define export restrictions.
Since ASCI Red was the first computer with teraflop capability you're saying that there was no such thing as a supercomputer before December 1996?
I don't think so. In the 1970s there was no such thing as a gigaflop computer, much less a teraflop. Perhaps you need to check the timeline for supercomputers on Wikipedia.
You still haven't produced the code for COSA, its been more than a month. Do you have it?
You still haven't stopped kissing ass?
That wasn't the answer to the question, where is the code to COSA, or is more BS?
Oh, the physics god, eh? Sorry, I don't worship time-travel-believing crackpots. ahahaha...
The I assume you will be showing some experimental evidence that refutes SR? Also see answer to questions #1,5,7,10,11,12,17, and probably some others. Just like the code to COSA? see answer to question #8 (especially regarding artificial intelligence and the bible.)
Are you a quack?
It's better to be a quack than an ass kisser, any day. ahahaha... AHAHAHA... ahahaha...
Whose ass am I kissing? I have nothing to gain here except the pleasure in debunking a quack. Also see answer to #26
So to sum things up: You have no verifiable evidence to backup your "Nasty Little Truth About Spacetime Physics". And you don't have any code to backup your COSA vaporware. If you want to put me in my place all you have to do is come up with an answer these 2 little items. Simple?

A time dimension is crackpottery.
I suggest you read Relativity by Albert Einstein. He explains Special Relativity in simple mathematics that even somebody who has taken Algebra in US public school system can understand.
Read Nasty Little Truth About Spacetime Physics and get the facts.
I will refer you to the following questionnaire: Are you a quack?
Gold plated connectors will not sound any better in a one week lab test. They will however be much less likely to corrode which could lead to a scratching connection, overheating etc over several years.
Corrode? I have cables that are 15 years old that haven't corroded. From what I've seen the cables last longer than the stereo.
Hey, isn't Micro$oft owning Novell, as of lately ? So, if Novell ends up with any exclusive Unix property, doesn't that mean that this can be used by Micro$oft to bully Linux competition ?
Why waste that time writing good code that's going to be thrown out anyway?
How about because your being paid to write good code?
Write cool code that makes you look good. Make a lot of money and retire early.
Not where I work. We give the cool stuff to the developers in house, the ones who have been here awhile, because the new apps to work with other applications and in house APIs, and we aren't going to take the time teach a job hopper that much about our systems. If you're hired as a contractor where I work you're a warm body because some idiot manager, has created an impossible time line and his VP buddy has decided he needs help so he throws contractors at the job so they look good for their bosses. Then the real engineers have to find something to keep you busy where you can't do much damage and take up too much of our valuable time.
Also we do code reviews for all contractor code and with my group and other groups if its not good code, you get to rewrite it. If you don't product satisfactory code you get to start looking for work again. In fact getting rid of contractors is easy. All I have to do is say, I'm not satisfied with your code and you aren't improving, then you're gone. No questions asked.
I remember when DOS 5 came out. It was supposed to be a huge upgrade to 3.3. I guess it was, it still seemed like it pretty much sucked. But since it was the best MS had to offer the one thing DOS 5 did was convince me to buy an Amiga.
Except with math people calculate pi to what appears to be an infinite number of digits. With physics when you try and measure it Heisenberg gets in the way, so there's a physical limit after which pi actually has no meaning, it doesn't matter what the mathematicians calculate.

But some of us hate AT&T even more than comcrap.
Is an unarmed guy is kinda like an unloaded gun?
Since Tasers are torture I guess the police have to go back to using clubs and guns as their only weapons.
Considering their track record, why are they even buying additional machines from them to begin with?

Just make sure you upgrade his box first.

Sure it adds up.
Necessity is not the mother of invention, laziness is.
I've never seen an ISP do this yet, what makes you think they're actually going to start doing this anytime in the future?
As an additional penalty they will be suspending him with pay for 1 week. The start date is TBD. :-)

Sounds like the AROS Project is making more progress than Amiga Inc. is.
I'm going to cite SCO as having prior art.
Like SCO tried bullying IBM?
When was this?

Brown as a default? I thought Ubuntu was supposed to be user friendly Linux?
