The problem is that schools are just glorified prisons. Homework and "academic achievement" have virtually nothing to do with real-world success. Seriously, who really and truly gives a flying fuck about the meaningless trash they teach in school? The motivated will find a way to learn what they need to survive/succeed and everyone else will be throwing paper airplanes at the warden... er, teacher.
What? What are you talking about, no biological responsibilities? Clearly, everyone is different. There are two patterns to male reproduction: one pattern which drives a man to "spread his seed" and one which drives him to care for his offspring. In different men, due to both genetic and environmental factors, there will be different expressions of either side, but studies have shown that a mother and father together produce the healthiest, most well-adjusted offspring, and frankly I think if you bring someone into this world you've created for yourself a responsibility to make that entry as painless as possible. Fuck biology.
Also, from a biological standpoint, in all intelligent animals, there is a trend toward MORE parental care, not LESS. Witness chimps, dolphins, elephants, etc. From a survivability standpoint, in a modern society, a few well-cared-for offspring are better than a dozen sperm donations.
Also, I don't think you're in any position to say anything about love. You have the example of a brother who got into a bad relationship, and no examples in your own experience. Also, it is IMPOSSIBLE for 90% of women to marry up! There aren't enough men, and almost everyone gets married at some point. Stop being such a misogynistic loser.
Well, there is an important difference between your U.S.-Britain and Quebec-Paris comparisons. In the case of Paris, it is still, culturally, much more important than Quebec.
It is not the case that the U.K. is more important than the U.S. Look around the world: McDonald's, Coke, and Nike. American companies. Many of the most popular movies are American, and a good portion of the music is American, or American-influenced. Since the U.S. is more important culturally, it makes sense to say that its language deviations should take precedence in many people's minds.
Let's face it; the reason many people learn English as a second language isn't primarily because there's an island just north of France.
Component is suitable for HD content. It's even one of the suggestions in the article. You are correct about S-Video, however -- it can't even handle 480p. Same for composite, of course.
By the way, if you want to do a component video connection on the cheap, you can use 3 composite video (the typically-yellow RCA) to make a component connection. Beats that Monster crap in price by a long shot, since most people have the necessary 3 RCA cables lying around.
Note that you cannot use the sound ones, as they are a different resistance than the video ones... however, the video cables CAN double as digital coax for Dolby Digital/et. al if you need to connect something to your amp.
You're wrong. AAC is the generic term for the codec of MPEG-4 audio. Apple's iTunes is AAC encoded with drm. An MPEG-4 file is a QuickTime file... did you know that? MPEG-4 video, AAC audio, with the wrapper being QuickTime... of course, things like DivX are MPEG-4 video in AVI.
IP QoS -- Not really X related, but really makes a huge performance diference. With QoS enabled, You can set it up so that small packets (500), then limit your outstream to a little less than your max so that SYN|ACKS can still get out. The result is that you can max your upload/download to your hearts content, but your latency NEVER takes a hit
I don't believe anyone is having any difficulty in hearing and understanding what you're saying. It's just that what you're saying is wrong, and not a logical conclusion.
Evolution does have evidence supporting it, or it would not be such a prevalent theory. Scientists noticed changes in fossils that were gradual, and thought evolution was a likely way to explain it. Darwin noted how the finches of the galapagos, separated from one another, developed different traits to best survive their respective islands. He hypothesized that they had a common ancestor, and that they had developed over time to fit those islands, based on the evidence available to him.
Scientists have noticed changes in species in this day and age -- witness the evolution of dogs by artificial, rather than natural, selection. A Great Dane and a little Yorkie are barely the same species now. Evolution is only a theory, but it is a theory that is logical, is backed by evidence, and observable on at least a small scale.
Scientists (in aggregate) do not have an agenda of destroying all faiths. They merely take the evidence available to them, and try to explain it in a logical fashion. Were there evidence for creationism, it, not evolution would be the prevalent theory.
Your claims about the beginnings of the Universe are, unfortunately, irrelevent to the topic of evolution. Even if one could prove any number of gods had had a hand in the initial formation of the Universe, that still doesn't make it true that they created all life on Earth in roughly the form it is in today. Evolution as a theory remains completely valid.
They put the code in the HAL. They are offering the source to the HAL ("this component") It's safe to assume that, from the information the article gives (the HAL is comparable to a PC BIOS), the HAL is not linked to the kernel.
The features being added to Java are mainly features from C# being copied in an attempt to keep Java as popular as it has been. If one wishes to use C# with the JVM and Java class libraries, however, the GNU Portable.NET project has a compiler available.
As you and your family come forth from your cave into the radiation-scarred wilderness, the sun shines weakly through the black dust clouds. Snow falls down from the sky, but that's nothing special: when doesn't it fall? Gathering wood has become harder in the last few months, as this area has been hit especially hard by the raids of the mutants, so lately you've taken to burning dried dung for your heat.
You gather your spear, your wife gathers the bucket, one of your few possessions from the Utopia that existed only... was it 25, or 40 years ago? you ask yourself, but the number escapes you. Father was always a rambler anyway. You will hunt, she will gather food and fuel, in a ritual reminiscent of man's earliest days. Your children, still too young to do either, huddle on the entrance of the cave. You feel a tinge of shame as you notice their ribcages.. there just hasn't been enough food for their growing bodies these days. Too many animals have moved on.
Clearing your mind, you begin your long hunt. Today you will find meat, because today is Christmas. Whatever that means.
No. The RIAA still would legally hold the copyrights to the music.
Also, this could cause us to lose our hearing of the sounds usually omitted from the tracks during MP3 encoding.
No. Some idiot posting an idiot layman's rant on slashdot does not make said idiot's hearing loss hypothesis true. (He also purports to be the "teachmaster" of the "first cyberage-religion". I think this alludes somewhat to his credibility.) The "researcher" himself admitted to rarely listening to lossily-encoded music, so why should his hearing problems be attributed to it? Especially when we have a sample size of several hundred thousand (slashdot itself) who are likely to listen regularly to lossily-encoded music, but have no signifigant hearing problems when looked at in aggregate.
Recap:
Copyrights do not disappear because of the ubiquity of piracy.
Being posted on slashdot does not make a hypothesis true, or even credible.
The parent comment is not particularly insightful. Please mod it back down accordingly.
Don't bother GPL'ing the software if it's yours. If it's someone else's code, don't use it. The country is more important than a principle as esoteric as 'Free Software' or 'Open Source'.

Or maybe the adware is their final solution to the piracy problem...

But why should time necessarily be spent productively?

The fastest proc for it would be the K6-III, and it goes for around $30 dollars on Ebay. Not absurd at all!

Japan uses NTSC anyway.
Xbox, PS2, and GameCube are all the same price.
Heh, I'm thinking the problem is programmers that are insecure because they aren't confident in their ability to secure a date as needed.

This isn't actually true. The Shared Source license, is, in my opinion, quite liberal. It's reminiscent of the CircleMUD license in some of its terms.
It explicitly states that you are allowed to use ideas and concepts from the code in your own work. Only standard copyright applies.

Don't bother GPL'ing the software if it's yours. If it's someone else's code, don't use it. The country is more important than a principle as esoteric as 'Free Software' or 'Open Source'.
