And besides, its hillarious watching her interview the male researchers and seeng their responses vary from just gazing at her to stuttering to going completely gaga.
I did it with Sally in 11th grade in the pool. Thank god life did not originate underwater in that case.
Don't worry -- considering that you read/. and we don't reproduce asexually, you and "Sally" (read: left/right hand) can have as much sex underwater as you want.;-)
I saw that PBS show -- Nova -- too! Man I thought I was the only loser around here.:-)
I was actually thinking the same thing as well. One scientist guy was talking about how early life on earth must have been subterranean since the surface was so turbulent. The only real necessity seemed to be water, not sunlight or moderate temperatures which we previously assumed were all requirements for life to exist. There could exist underground lakes on many extraterrestrial bodies, and even on mars -- a possibility mars surface probes haven't really explored.
Seems to confirm what I've always assumed -- there could exist a whole horde of microorganisms in Uranus!;-)
aware that C++ code compiled by GCC 3.2 will not interoperate with code compiled by GCC 3.1.1
Good thing I didn't waste an entire f*cking week compiling Gentoo 1.3 with GCC 3.1. It would have been a STUPID WASTE of time if I had done that. Yeah, good thing I saw this coming.
Or you could just overwrite the current kernel in the file system. The kernel is loaded into memory, and there's no filelock on the actual kernel file (I have found out the hard way many times).
If you mean replace the kernel running in memory, I'd think even that's possible with a new function in the kernel that's running which simply wipes all the system memory and loads the new kernel (which would have to bypass some bootup code). Of course, if you wanted to save all your process data, it would be a tiny bit more work.;-)
I don't want to come off as a morbid bastard, but how well protected is a rider during a crash? I mean, if the Segway is controlled with gyros that sense little weight shifts of the rider, in a crash, wouldn't the rider toppling off cause a shift in balance and accidentally cause the thing to tip over the wrong way? And how well do the pieces of the machine attach together -- in a head-on collision, are we supposed to expect the riders to kiss in mid-air, fall flat on their asses with the scooter toppling on them afterwards, or do they just get mercifully impaled by the handle bars? Why are we, as the public, and potentially stupid customers, not informed of matters of such importance, and more specifically, why are there no tutorials on doing donuts with Segways?
First of all, it's about the small guy fighting a big relentless giant and it's bottom line is that all of magic and wizardy couldn't beat good ol' idea of good ideas (as opposed to evil ones) like freedom (and it's associated death). If I'm note careful, I might be implying something really bad.
That was subtly brilliant! (If you are implying what I just read into your statement.)
Acadians from the Maritimes typically do not have much to do with Anne, either. L.M. Montgomery didn't have a French ancestry. Neither Tourtiere nor poutine are exclusively Acadian. Of course, you yanks are ignorant about anything beyond your own borders, aren't you! You prefer to adhere to misconceptions and stereotypes. That's why the rest of the world hates you!
Funny, funny, funny, considering I am Canadian myself.
Excuse me for being an ignorant Torontanian, but unfortunately studying the differences between the people in PEI and Newfoundland and all the rest of the places just was not an option for me.
As much as I protested against this blatant overlooking on part of the boards of education in the GTA, there was no attempt at making us more informed, thus our inability to tell the difference.
Please, I beg the rest of the world, don't hate us because Toronto's beautiful!
It seems oxymoronic to bother with plot lines in a movie like this. The Rock plays an Akkadian assassin named Mathayus
Well, apparently Da Masta and Accipiter, it is actually you who seem to be the fuck-ups. What is this we-hate-Katz thing? What is this, Aint-It-Cool-News? Does he offend your political sensibilities or something?
Gee you think I wouldn't notice if he had spelt it properly the first time?
He changed the spelling in the article after I posted it in order to make me look like the fool! That JonKatz fella sure is smarter than the average/. editor.
The guy is using advertising popups to pay for his bandwidth on his server which is serving a version of KaZaa that prevents IT from gaining advertising revenue. I don't mean to take sides, but suddenly it's okay for one l33t h4x0r dude to use ads, but not for another company simply because it stands to make a shitload more money than him, or for whatever other reason?
I think the original poster's point still stands, and would have gotten a +1 Funny from me if I didn't feel so obligated to defend him verbally instead.
Correct me if I'm wrong but Acadian would be like french-canadians in the maritimes, right? Unless the Rock does dress up like Anne of Green Gables and shouts "mange de la merde" as insults, this is not the same ethnic background as the Rock's character. So is the a typical JonKatz f*ckup, or is there some other race with the same name? Some background info on them would be nice too...
...is its attention to detail and aesthetics and its general sexiness (the word I was going to use slipped my mind -- I'm an eloquent speaker, trust me).
After evolving from Mandrake and other n3wb distros, the typical linux user has the choice between Slackware, Debian, and LFS style distros. All of them are great for proclaiming one's leetness. Just being able to go through the installation process of any of the aforementioned is a testament to manliness even penis length cannot surmount.
But what to do after that? Sure you got a badassed mofo distro, but it looks like shit! LFS and Slack use the horrid BSD style init-scripts (don't flame me...just from my experience from atleast a few years back, not that slack's updated versions since then;-). Slack and LFS don't have decent package management/upgrading systems. Ever notice how slack packages show full version numbers in pkgtool ONLY for packages that were installed during setup, and not the ones you add later? And to add to that, NONE of the distros mentioned have good looking Redhat style init scripts that have the [OK] and the [Failed] signals to warn you how poorly you set up the system.
Gentoo has all that and more. By default, it sets up color terminals for all users. No more fidgeting with.bashrc to add colour to your ls's. It makes everything setup sexily across your system. Every package that doesnt follow the system is setup under opt. It even thinks about what to do AFTER you get linux installed1 In debian you could always upgrade to SID and try to fix bugs in your packages. In LFS, you could always try to reinstall, and try to remember without looking all the urls for downloading all the patchfixes for all the packages, and race friends to see who can finish first. Slack doesn't have anything for that -- but never fear, gentoo does. After you setup the system, you can always try to figure out why you cant install vmware, or why certain packages are there in the portage tree but dont seem to install.
And you can do it all with full colour ls listings. And that's enough rambling and bitching for me today.
The potential power of stem cell research is clearly evident in this case. My question, not to troll, is whether this type of research could have been possible/allowed in the US. AFAIK, the laws in the states allow a restrictive amount of stem cell research -- would this have been enough for similar treatment here?
Opera seems to have the fastest load time and most efficient code (meaning no memory leaks and optimized)
I can't say that it's true now (or ever as far as efficient code goes), especially with v. 6. On my WinXP setup, Opera 6 takes up around 60 megs of Wam. Not that it bothers me -- I have plenty of ram -- but you just have to remember the days of Opera 3.x are gone. Opera can no longer run off a floppy and no it isn't as light as it seems. It's one of the big boys now, and should be judged as so.
Getting to that, I find that a lot of Opera's claims of standards compatibility are not 100% truthful. Various versions starting from 4.x claimed full HTML 4.x support, and "full" support for various other standards/lanugages/etc and they never quite worked. I remember atleast a few of Mozilla test suites not rendering properly on versions of Opera that claimed such compatibility. Of course, that may be biased considering they were Mozilla test suites, but AFAIK, Mozilla is about as standards compliant as it gets. In that, I mean they don't support more than the standards -- look up Netscape div tags for reference -- thus they theoretically should have been fine with Opera.
I don't mean this as a troll, but more as a general devil's advocation against all the "Opera praise" in this thread.
That's something resembling a flame. In the article, he mentions quite a few ways to improve yEnc, including the use of MIME, and some other stuff I can't remember. I'm just wondering why there's no code if all the technology needed exists.
Dude, I wish I had mod access this week, and that there was no 5 karma limit. It's modded funny now, but god that strikes so close to home it's not funny.
Slashdot Mirror
Well the new chick is much hotter.

If Flash is not evil, then how do you:
a) Cut and paste text out of a flash page, say: a phone number? (Yes, I've been facted with that problem more than once.)
The same way you cut and paste out of non-evil jpgs / pngs / gifs (take your pick).
b) Turn off the animation?
By not downloading the plugin? Surely you won't need it of it's all evil.

Don't worry -- considering that you read
I was about to laugh at you when I realized I'd probably have to do that too, if I dont get a woman by 2012. ;-)
Well the idea is to keep one hand on the mouse and the other on your, um, joystick.
;-)
Of course, the problem comes when you remember to use one gesture, and forget to stop using the other one.
To say the least, it'll be tough explaining to your boss why you're masturbating to an Excel chart.
RTFA ;-)
