Though not scientific at any rate, all the people I know who are adopted were adopted by people who are pro-life. I to would like to see where these stastics are from.
FYI: I've known ~10 people who were adopted. I say ~ becuase some of the families had a mix of adopted and non-adopted children, so I'm not sure on the numbers.
I was listing places which were famous around Southern California for their association with Geekish history. I think would mean that Cal Tech Qualifies. Heck they run two of the other places I mentioned. Mt. Palamar, and JPL.

Of course you could also goto Griffith Observatory but it's closed for a renovation.
All these are in the San Diego/Los Angeles area.
Heck, if you are into art/old books/old stuff there is the Getty.
And of course the Huntington with their copy of the Guttenburg bible.
We also have Edwards Airforce Base which is where the shuttle use to land, but they put on a heck of an air show.
And when traveling to the LA area you need to fly into the Burbank airport. They built the SR-71, the F117 and several other toys right there...
When you are done with Los Angeles area head on up to the San Fransisco area and check out the Valley. I'm sure a couple more people here can fill you in on those spots.
MAn I think I'm going to love looking at this thread!
Well, wait a couple months until Palm gets done with swallowing Handspring... and Tada! a Palm Treo 600!
Of course there are a couple other manufacturers who make devices which compete with the Treo product line.
Ted
And, of course, if you are a web developer, we still lack a good dreamweaver-like tool. I hope we'll have one soon...
What? I thought the nix's had excellent text editors. From the way you guys talk around here they might even be considered superior to the ones in Windows. I don't understand? Can someone please explain?
I hear that Eternal: Damnation is the seqeal. And the kicker is that it's not the only sequeal. You get the new version installed when you are either done playing real life, or when the developers intend to stop supportin real life. Then depending on several key decisions you made in real life you either get the Eternal: Damnation version or the Eternal: Salvation version of the game.
Some players of RealLife have complained that there is conflicting information about the decisions you need to make in Real Life to activate the Eternal: Salvation version of the sequeal.
Some players of RealLife seem to be happy with this though becuase they see it as the actual goal of Real Life; to find out how to get into the correct sequeal.
If this is the case, then perhaps Real Life offers something many other games of this genere don't offer; a final goal.
I actually owned a copy of Bob.... So I'm not totally Trolling here. I'm just pointing out one of their most spectactual failuars.
If you want a modern failuar, how about how 2 years ago everything was.NET.
How about HailStorm.
How about the Windows CE. How about Windows ME.
How about that stupid research project where they are going to record every conversation and everything I see and every event I attend, then sell it back at me. And then a couple months later their CEO has the balls to say that technology isn't becoming Orwellian. YEAH SURE!
Don't get me wrong. I'm typing this away on my MS computer. I run my Tolkien Website on a Windows 2K server. But you have to admit MS doesn't really innovate or make standards.
They standardize/bastarize others standards and roll it out to 95% of the market via their OS. This is what makes them a good thing for the industry. When the take a good standard and make it a part of their OS. It becomes the standard. This is also the problem with MS. When they pick a bad standard or bastardize a good standard, they screw 95% of the populace.
ok... I need to breath.... Slowwww... Down.... Sign off....
Wow... 12 Minutes for a Beowulf cluster comment. I think I'm going to start tracking the amount of time it takes for a given response to be pulled from the/. community.
That Steve Jobs will give up? I mean come on. He is the leader of a company whose brand loyality is through the roof. They are making money. And are pushing the boundries... all the time.
As long as Jobs continues to raise up religious zealots to the cause, Apple will never really be dead.
Also of note, who says that Jobs can't encorporate all the advantages Linux has into his OS.
You know how many people patch their systems, even in mission critical areas. This is pure nonsense. Think of the disaster this would cause. You thought the Y2K disaster stories were bad. Just think about this one. A virus which blew you system up. Wow! I can hardly wait.
Sounds like Fight Club to me. Who knew Senator Hatch was a member of Project Mahyem.

You know on second thought... Screw it. Let's reset the clock to the 1800's. That just might solve a bunch of problems.

You know that you can do the Square Root function by hand.
I've said this before, if we as geeks/computer programmers we demand good code, can't we demand good thinking and good logic minus all the hysteria.
Come on guys what do you think?

Well, If you want Geeksih how about this:
Palamar Telescope.
Then again there is Cal Tech in Pasadena.
Next you can stop at JPL.
There is also Mt. Wilson above Los Angeles.
Of course you could also goto Griffith Observatory but it's closed for a renovation.

Well, American cheese is a lot like Microsoft... And Swiss chese here in the United States is a lot like... welll, American cheese...
But a good swiss cheese purchased from Trader Joe's or any other fine market is amazing.
But on a burger you want Cheddar, Tillamook preferably.
And if you want how about some Beer to go along with that Burger...
Then Again that's not very swiss either...
I did.... I was being a bit sarcastic...
I sure hope we aren't using Microsoft Technology for anything important like National Security? Cause that would suck!
Please Advise, I don't know how to think about this story, I'm a Swiss-American.

Does anyone have any software to do this? I've got an NX70 with the WiFi card and am looking forward to warwalking with it or even with this new one.
There is a keyboard and Graffiti and a new input system which does trainable handwriting recognition.
And, of course, if you are a web developer, we still lack a good dreamweaver-like tool. I hope we'll have one soon...

I have a theory about this game. Sony designed it with the following in mind:
Make sure no EQ/Diablo II players like it.
Make sure no Planetside players like it.

Don't do this... Please... For the sake of all that is bad legislation...
Just think of all the very bad things that could happen if this is:
1. Sucessfull
2. Very unsucessful
If the former think of all the good laws that will be inacted. If the later, people will have a who cares attituce about network security.
Both are bad.
Stop posting articles like this... Don't feed the trolls.

They keep bring us new stuff like MS-Bob.... and Clippy... and...
Oh I don't want to have all the fun, you can come up with some...
What other new innovative things has Microsoft done that really were flops.
I hope they keep their commitment to releasing solid good games. That's what they are known for.
ok, maybe its the time of day. Perhaps it's a lack of sleep. I don't care, that was perhaps the funniest thing I have read on this site.

Ok, Now it really begins, All the smack talk is over. Now we get down to the real battle. What do you say. IBM in 3.
"Do you hear that, SCO? That is the sound of inevitability. That is the sound of your death. Goodbye, SCO."
There is no better combination. Period.
The tablet is great for those nasty diagrams, and the Palm is a must have for schedules and keeping track of all those people in the group projects.
