I don't know - I liked the ad where the young lad is born by being shot out of his mother, through the hospital wall, ages very rapidly and lands in a grave.
Put up a few obvious stats on the nature of the universe on your homepage, submit to slashdot and I'm sure you're counter will increase nicely (or not so nicely, it'll be up anyway).
Some sort of blood monitoring device could be added as well. If they take alcholol or any sort of drugs.... let mammay and daddy know. Put a smoke detector in it as well, make sure they aren't even near that bad tobacco.
Then the teen model could come with a heightened fermone / hormone detector - make sure they're not up to anything naughty on the first date ( although with most young men, this would be going of continuously ).
Maybe we could add in some of the face detection technology from yesterday - make it be able to filter pornography too....
Oh you got me......... don't want to know how or why.
When I saw the mention of the monks having no copyright, I remembered the story from my primary school days.... so i did a quick search and these people at rearebooks told the story nicely. maybe I should I have given them some credit..... my bad.
Anyways with regards to the copyright... As far as I know Finian was the original author and for the monks these books were a source of pride in their monastery, Colmcille copied it exactly - squigily line for squigily line - these books were also beautifully decorated.
It also took him considerable effort at night by candle light to copy it. It really ate into his sleeping time for weeks.... which would have been harsh for those monks..... no wonder he was pissed off when he was told he couldn't keep it.
With regard to the monks, they did have copyright.
In sixth century Ireland.....
Saint Colmcille was accused of secretly copying The Cathach, the property of his master, Saint Finnian. The celebrated case of the dispute of copyright (possibly the first dispute of copyright) led to High King Dermott's historic judgement, "to every cow its calf; to every book its copy". The O'Donnell's were ordered to return their copy.
Colmcille's disagreement with the verdict resulted in the battle of Culdreimhe, County Sligo, after which Colmcille, in repentance at the bloodshed, exiled himself from his beloved monastery at Derry Colmcille, and sailed to Iona in Scotland.
I'm probably completely wrong here, but as you go near a black hole doesn't time not slow down, so to us this comet going into hole should last forever... or something???
They might be a little sharper mentally, and computer games probably contributes to this.
But the level of obesity among children today is a hell of alot higher than it was in the past. And spending a few hours a day sitting playing computer games before moving on to other "hobbies" such as watching televison isn't helping.
Diet probably has a lot to do with it as well, but the fact remains that children are fatter, and that can't be healthy.
Yes, you should get the special rocket carrying permit that allows you to carry rockets on the aeroplane, this is done by strapping the rockets to the outside of plane at the sides with rockets pointing in opposite directions to each other on each side. This way if the rockets do go off - all that will happen is the plane will spin harmlessly in circles
People say such things about new technology the whole time, if you think about it - what the hell do you need a mobile phone for - or a phone at all for that matter - use the ould letter / pigeons / smoke signals.
3G might take a while to come about - initial network costs are very high - but it will arrive.
In this part of the world (Ireland), there are plenty of people addicted to sms. Who would have thought that short messages limited to 160 characters typed out on a keypad costing 10 pence a go would be so popular??
If 3G gives you cheaper, faster wireless access to the internet, people will use it - if for nothing else than annoying messages. And that's just to each other - spam might be something else.
Besides all that, I'm sure there are many applications of 3G that people just haven't thought about yet.
If previous space missions are anything to go by.......... and the probe won't work
Conclusions will be:
If Huygens makes a splash on impact - it's an ocean
If Huygens explodes with no splash - it's a continent
Computer games don't always inspire excellance in sport. Anyone remember David James, the ex Liverpool (an english soccer team for ye americans) goalkeeper who starting letting in alot of goals because of his addiction to some playstation game... can't remember which.
Slashdot Mirror
It's at least a year, there used to be ads about it here (Ireland) on tv... can't remember how long ago exactly.
Because we can.....

How else are we supposed to fix things when everything just stops working...
Rebooting is always a great way to fix things.... they even used it one of the star trek's once.
And how the hell is windows supposed to work?
come up with only 243 pins?

Bad langauage alert would also be handy.....
Or we could just lock the kids in a room.
I mean you can only look at frodo being shocked for so long.........
Someone in the database walks down a crowded street, and the police are bombarded with text messages...
Well in the europe (the EU bit anyways), you won't be extradited if there is a treat of the death penalty being sentenced in the USA.

Put them in a big box and hold on to them.
Give them a new life in the attic.
And then someday, maybe sooner than you think, you might be glad of that noisy power supply.

.. the grammar errors in the e-mail are usually enough to tip me off it's a virus to begin with...
.txt.vbs extension?
So the fact that some lad you hardly know is sending you love letters doesn't tip you off at all? Or the dodgy
