Right. Like everybody keeps their computers on at all times. And what's stopping the bad guy to put a malicious file on his computer, and let others download it? The grandparent talked about an internal share, which can be trusted to some degree, unlike for example your computer.
When you forget your piece of paper in your pocket and wash your pants, what's left? When I forget my SD card in my pocket it survives. I have a card here that's gone through a washing machine 3 times. Still works.
I guess you have to carve your stuff in stone tablets to get something you can see and which will also last.:)
When I was a kid, maybe 10 to 12 years old my parents were both poor students. My weekly allowance was about 1/20th of what a game did cost back then. So I had to work, whatever work a child can get. This way I could afford a new game about every second month.
Now, a dozen years later, I can afford a crappy car with a few days of work. That two months salary that a game did cost me now buys a maybe 5 year old used car.
I don't go around bying $20 000+ cars, but buying a game back then, was a bigger deal for me than buying a car now. I read reviews, played demos and so on. When getting a car, I test that it runs and buy it. Make, model, makes no difference.
>[snip]it must leap forward at precisely the right moment. this is what intelligence is all about.
That's called instincts. A cheetah is born with those hunting skills. Give the gazelles a new sense, or a new way to detect approaching cheetahs, and the cheetahs, not being intelligent enough to figure out what's going on, will starve.
And anyways, your theory about "gods" being randomly created, we live in a huge, perhaps infinite universe. Do you seriously think that there are no room for more than one omnipotent being? And if the omnipotents are randomly created, a few may even be intelligent. Like even intelligent enough to create a world filled with humans. A-haa! I just figured out why we appear to be alone in the universe! Everyplace else has a retarded god, who is unable to create life.
Yeah, right.
Rule number one about gods: Do not discuss gods, because you are inevitably wrong no matter what you say.
Nope. No religion is opt-in. I was born into a religion, nobody asked my opinion on that. I had to do some serious paperwork to get rid of the church, so I don't have to pay taxes to them anymore. Separation of state and church my ass. A religion is forced on pretty much everybody around the world, and only a few declines to accept. Many don't even have this option.
"Because a Supreme Court justice is an important person who has a hand in truly important decisions. The Pope is some guy in a hat. You have the right to disobey the Pope, but a Justice guides the law which, when broken, has much harsher consequences."
I see that you are not a catholic. The judges and laws control what people can do. But the pope has the power to affect the opinions of the catholics. No too bad in my opinion.
Additionally, an extremely religious person believes that by disobeying the pope you go to hell. Prison is not as bad as hell.
>Both technologies are excellent. I used bar codes as an IQ test for the cashier when I'm buying canned cat food in bulk:) If the cashier scans each identical item...
If they'd only do that. I buy the catfood on a little pallet with 24 cans (organised as 6x4). About every second or third time the cashier counts that as 36 cans...
Photoshop does the same thing. There is no "line" in the drawing tools, only under the vector shapes button, and yes, the line will be a vector shape. Using shift is the simplest way to make a straight line of pixels, and information about this is buried very deep down in the manual.
> The cell phone solutions may work, but only if you're outside and able to see 4 or more GPS sats (the tower data just helps the GPS get a lock faster).
WTF are you talking about? 1: Cellphones do not use GPS for positioning, your position is triangulated from the carrier towers. 2: You need only 2 GPS satellites to get a location. 3 and you'll get the altitude as a bonus. 4 is just icing on the cake.
Somebody please explain to be why everybody is factoring in the cost of popcorn and drinks? Whos idea is it that you _must_ eat popcorn when seeing a movie? Can't people keep their mouths shut for two hours?
The K6 series were a bit more durable. I had the heatsink fall off a K6-2 when I accidentally knocked over the computer, and it survived.
And my K6-III, well, when I've had it for a few weeks, I wanted to overclock it, and noticed that I've been running it on a slightly too high voltage all the time.
What sounds plausible? 2,5 million jps for 45265 persons gives about 55 jps per person per week, or some 8 jps per day.
Leave out showers and stuff like that a person can live easily with a few litres (a gallon a day). My not-so-educated guess would be that a jps is perhaps between a 1/4th or a 1/8 of a gallon.
It's always a tragedy when a life is lost, but as far as i remember there is still death penalty in the USA and they seem to like nuking the shit out of small countries. I don't rationalize killing. Americans do.

Laptop -> LCD -> sucks to change resolution. Probably the 1400x1050 is more readable than 1024x768 on that monitor.
Antipiratbyrån, which is a site representing the music industry reports that the piratebay har been shut down. Apparently not a hoax.

With the the heatsinks we have today, 9mm will not be sufficent :)

Sure, please finish up in Afghanistan before proceeding to Iraq.

Every office isn't like yours, some may even have more than one computer.

Kinda like "opt-in spam" actually.

Um, ever played an FPS with a mouse? Same effect, and yet I head nobody complaining.
Remember to factor in the cost of the 64 college students you need to sort the printouts.
There is. WORO paper. The combined printer-shredder. Keeps your room of getting filled up with old frames.

If they'd only do that. I buy the catfood on a little pallet with 24 cans (organised as 6x4). About every second or third time the cashier counts that as 36 cans...
I don't have a graphics tablet. Can I use my mouse with the ruler?

Somehow I think that's not limited to third world countries only...

And which company haves the higher revenue?
14% of a lot is more than 17% of a little.

And my K6-III, well, when I've had it for a few weeks, I wanted to overclock it, and noticed that I've been running it on a slightly too high voltage all the time.
I didn't play with a fork as a kid, and thus I have two eyes left.
