memory is like a muscle. the more it is used, the stronger it becomes. the fact that pda's and the such take a burden off our memory explicitly implies that memory "muscles" aren't being used, hence weaker memory. however, many minds have compensated by taking in larger amounts of other types of data. the fact that our brains have to store ten times the amount of information our parents had to outweighs the pda's influence beyond mentioning. it might hone a particular part of our memory, but the brain is still stronger than in previous generations.
more than likely there is nothing of value on pluto. however, what is there on mercury? there is more to this than just bringing something back or searching for life. by visiting pluto we can get a close look of the planet and the environment surounding it.
space exploration is just that, exploration. we are not obligated to go anywhere outside of earth, but our undying curiousity draws us in. there is nothing left for us here, we now have to look outside and try to learn how our cosmos works. by studying other planets we will understand our own planet a great deal more. hopefully someday people will have the same discussion when the first man suggests traveling to the other side of the galaxy as apposed to just our solar system.
there is absolutely no way that he could have possibly played all of those games. whats more, ALL of them can't be in mint condition. granted, this is a collection from hell.... i would never need to leave my house again, but i am a sceptic. when this is over i have the feeling someone is getting screwed. just a thought.
how many people actually paid for office? i am sure many did, but at least 10 times as many didn't. hence, this will be cracked just like every other microsoft product out there. currently, the only microsoft product i purchased was windows 95 back in the day because i wasn't given a choice when buying my pc. am i alone here?
does anyone know where i could get a complete list of updates in the 2.4 kernel? in particular, the current kernel only supports semaphors in thread related apps, however i need the semaphors in certain tasks in my application. unfortunately linux can't support this(QNX on the other hand.... ). any ideas as to where i might find information like this?
To start, we live in the original democracy(speaking from the US). However, approximately 30% of our country votes. What is wrong with this picture? Everyone in this country has a problem with one aspect of the government or another, but few actually participate in changing it. It is very easy to say that my one vote doesn't count when taken with respect to the other 200 million voters in the US. With that in mind, it is just as easy to say I don't need to recycle, or throwing my trash out my car window doesn't matter.... the comparisons are never ending. The fact is that it does matter. Keep this in mind, in the US there are only a few groups of people that trully vote regularly.... old people, gay/lesbians, religious zealots, feminazi's. Do you seriously think any of these people give a shit about the space program?.... how about embracing technology for what it is truly worth(remember... many of the groups mentioned believe the internet is a tool of the devil.... )? Is this they type of people you want making your decisions? Imagine the ghetto's started to vote.... we would finally have our first black president. If the younger generation voted... under 25.... we could have a president that is neither Democrat nor Republican. But, I guess taking twenty minutes out of your day once every four years is too much work. And, its only one vote.... does it really matter?

well, hopefully within time we will find an earth sized planet.... jupiter sized planets don't hold much interest. but this one is about the same distance from its sun as our asteroid belt is from ours. there is a possibility that there may be an earth sized planet or two revolving as well. life?
now, i am far from black... or a nigger... but christ kid... what is up your ass? your mother been fucked by a nigger recently? what, are you jealous that he took your turn? i've had your mother, and i don't know why you like fucking her so much.... she is lousy! take my advice, go down to your local black neighborhood carying a large sign "KILL ALL NIGGERS".... they will help you out!
i don't recommend coding while high, but when i am stuck..... light up and it all makes sense again. you forget why you were stuck in the first place and you get a whole new perspective on the problem. for those that don't smoke, well.... i guess everyone has their vises. however, i know everyone that does knows exactly what i mean!
hmmm... lets think... where does it say? well, my wording may not be precise, nor the exact verse but here goes..... genesis: the sun and the moon will know its time. now, one can argue that god wasn't to be taken litteraly, but that just says a lot about your wonderful god. fine, let me quote a better passage from the bible for all you fanatics. god told abraham that he was to sacrifice the best of his herd as well as the best of his farm vegatation... am i wrong? didn't think so. further down... god changes his mind???? what was that? did the omnicient god find fault in his all know all seeing rules? how can this be? all of a sudden the jews are not follow this law anymore.... and actually there were many more that god just decided were 'no longer necessary'. now, christians jews and muslims all share the old testament... and are all bullshit religions. if you want to continue this argument i find nothing more exilerating than arguing with the ignorant. ttfn
i am sorry, but i can't just sit by and listen to this. throughout history god has been around for one reason and one reason only... to explain what we can't figure out... YET! as science explains some phenomena.... the earth rotating around the sun comes to mind... god is proven wrong or non existant(i can keep listing numerous occasions... but you know what, i am sure you have heard them all but your 'blind' faith just looks past it). there is one thing left for mankind to prove to completely disasociate god from our lives.... how life initialy sparked into existance. when scientist make 'life'... god is no longer needed. at that point religious freaks will have one last thing to fall back on... the unanswerable question,"Why am I here?"....
you know, i agree. we really can't settle mars mainly because its gravitational field is far weaker then ours. children born on mars would have a dificult time coming to earth. it is much easier to form artificial gravity on a space station.... considering we don't know how to on a planet.
reading some of these posts is humorous... yours, well... just stupid. you put law enforcement in your post? are you high? cops only care about people when they are directly affected by them. philidelphia comes to mind... yes, our wonderful police... THEY NEED THE MONEY!!!
wow... like i have always said "religion breeds ignorance". in todays world the idea that people still believe in god is appaling. how can you possibly.... you know what.... never mind!
i am not entirely sure about this figure, but last i remember nasa's yearly budget was around 5 billion. that is really pathetic. when the soviets were in this race the US people loved the fact that the US could keep up and that we hit the moon first. now it is pretty much the US... no competition... no funding. unless china steps up its space mission or the soviets get back in the race, nasa isn't going to have its funding. the american people have less of a problem spending 5 billion on a nuclear submarine than a year for nasa to operate. i can't count how many times i have heard people bitch about the fact that nasa even gets what little they do. i guess education would help as well, but most americans are too content with their limited knowledge. contention is the root of stupidity!
yep, thats because our governent only cares about the rich. why you ask? because only the rich can afford to bribe officials(oh, silly me... forgot, its not bribery... the proper term is pork barreling.... i will try not to do that anymore, really!)
after all this time we are FINALLY beginning to trek away from gas powered vehicles. christ! what took so long? as if there isn't enough crap in the air.... we are still pumping carbon-monoxide in exponential amounts. humanity, the tumor of the earth!

that is pretty amazing. the creator must have had a lot of free time.

I agree. In order to see any true change, we must boot out the Republicans and Democrats .... the old government. Libertarian has my vote as well.
