Maybe these two are just so out-a-touch that they don't recognise sex/porn keywords when they see them in a search query. Hard-core porn freaks are going to be looking for the good illegal stuff which is purposely hard to find if you don't know the correct lingo.
I'm not really a gamer, i did love Myst, but the boys seemed to blow through Fable pretty quickly. I might even give it a try as it seemed essentialy beginner-level. Since Fable was the 2nd game i've ever seen on Xbox, I thought the buggy, choppy, video-abortion was the way Xbox was supposed to be. After that I have seen a couple other games running much better.
I don't think you can realy argue about brain size in primates vs. body size. I'm sure that in all primates that the size of the brain doesn't decrease as much in relation to body size, a four foot tall human has brain that's much larger than 2/3rds that of a six foot tall man, I wouldn't be surprised that variations in head size on like sized bodies is nearly as much as on diffenrent sized bodies. That's why all primate babys look big-headed.
Jesus as being blonde with blue eyes Not to mention the "faggy" look on a carpenter, back in the days when being a carpenters felling timber and sawing planks by hand.
I think you both over estimate the power of the US President, and the real differences between the two candidates. While Kerry claims he will do things differently, the biggest difference is that he wants to do it instead of Bush. Anything else is going to have to go through Congress where it'll be a case of "the more things change, the more they stay the same".
This mornings WSJ, Wall Street Journal, had an article about how large numbers of American's living over-seas have not recieved their absentee ballots, also I just stumbled across this story about how even people living localy haven't recieved ballots. My Magic Eight Ball says "outlook not good", 60,000 missing absentee ballots, in one county. Imagine what it must be like nationaly?
modern apps consume most of their memory storing images, interesting that yu should mention this, Hi-End graphics are moving From 8 bit to 16 bit. This is 16 bits per channel so a RBGA image is 16 X 4 bits/pixel or 64 bits per pixel resulting 2.81475e+14 colors and frames exceeding 70 MB each. Store a hundred frames in a flip-book (about 4 seconds of movie) and you need a shit-pile memory.
Bullshit, can't find anything at google; Results 1 - 10 of about 131 for hypotypical. (0.54 seconds). I mean come on at least check google, with over 4 bilion pages indexed, what are the chances that any word wouldn't be found, even if it isn't really a word?
it saves the MD about 20% to not have to go through the claims process Serveral things to watch out for... 1. Needed services often increase dramaticaly along with fee's for cash Pt's. 2. Insurance companies establish "Usual and Customary fees" and generaly only pay those or a percentage, if the Dr. accepts the insurance; it means that he/she also accepts the fee structure. Normaly they bill the Insurance their normal fee's, the insurance pays the usual and customary, and the DR. writes off the difference. The idea is by billing more than they are willing to accept, the usual and customary goes up. As a cash Pt you may only get a portion or none of the difference how about a 10% discount on a bill inflated 100%. 3. Frequently the insurance looks at things as a package, and only pay so much for a proceedure, as a cash Pt. your probably going to get ala carte pricing i.e. pay for each and everything, offten at 100-1000X mark-up. 4. If your Dr's morals-ethics are looser than most, he'll think "no insurance, medicare-medicade audits, no ovesight of any kind, PT Barnum was right." I think the biggest problem is the insurance in the first place, insurance is big-biz, which needs lawyers, which attracts more lawyers. This results in law suits, which attracts more lawyers ad-nauseum. All of this drains resources away from healthcare and into legal.
MSDOS runs on intel 8008 - 8080 - 8086 - 80686, and the Zilog Z80-Z8000 and of course the x86 clones from cyrix and AMD. The apple had 6502 cpu with a completely different instruction set, it just wouldn't understand the 8080 instructions. My Radio Shack CoCo with a 6809 wouldn't understand and neither would my COSMAC ELF with it's RCA 1802 processor and a Whooping 255 Bytes static ram. Besides the other thing that gives you away as a troll is you called it an Apple2e, any self respecting Apple used would have called it an Apple][e or Apple IIe!
The problem is the developement team can't get one button mice, Mine has five buttons, left, right, scroll wheel straight down, scroll wheel rolled forward, scroll wheel rolled back. We had a Microsoft Intelli-mouse that had 7 buttons! One button mice, is that a Mac thing? I know when I'm on a windose machine, with its' use the right-button occassionaly, if you really need to attitude, constraining. My thinking is with 5 buttons, and the [ctrl], [alt] and [shift] keys, I should be able to get 125 different commands!
How about Linux on a Xbox? If Microsoft is losing money on the game console and expecting to make it back on game disks ala the Gillette Biz Plan, then Linux on Xbox would be the death-of-a-thousand-cuts!
Seems you've really hit a nerve there, makes me wonder what would have happened if you said you actualy ran a MySQL testbed with that database and it beat the oracle with your real-world queries.
Odd how we see more religious zealotry in datbase issues than we do in OS issues now.
It doesn't take much power at all to push a signal a hundred miles, especialy if the frequency is quiet. I can't imagine a lot of natural phenonmena generating noise at 100Ghz+ nor a lot of transmitters up there. Additionaly these are extremaly short wave-lenghts, so it would be rather easy to put a parabolic reflector 10 or even 100 wave-lengths wide on a satalite make it extreemly directional, almost optical for high gain. The wave-guides and striplines would also be physicaly small makeing it easier to put more powerfull amplifiers in the birds. Also it's possible that a device doesn't need to store the power, external power can be beamed in via microwaves at a different frequency, adding the advantage of being able to turn the device off durring bug sweeps.
The way I understand it is that the vast majority of computer power supplies are switching power supplies, which means the supply connects to oscillator, charging a capacitor, then shuts off when the operating voltage is reached. Because of this switching at high frequency, the PC power supply is pretty insensitive to input voltage fluctuations, and staying in the 140-95 VAC range is all they need (the UPS manufacturer's will not be singing this from the roof tops either). What really kills a PC isn't a voltage spike or drop-out on the hot wire but when there is a voltage on the VAC neutral wire where as little as 0.5 volts of the wrong polarity will fry a cpu.
It's very easy to get stray voltages on the neutral line which is bonded to a grounding stake at the service enterence, all it takes is a bad connection somewhere introducing resistance or even the ground arround the stake drying out and your vulnerable. What needs to be done is to connect AC neutral to ground, at the point of usage and the only legal to do that is with a transformer. Per code the neutral wire on a transformer's secondaries, must be bonded to ground, which solves the floating neutral problem. The UPS has such a transformer built in, so it offers equipment protection, even if the batteries are dead.
Personaly I see the global-warmests as wrong about CO2 global warming; but her's one thing to consider. When you pump CO2 into deep underground or underwater, it chemicaly reacts with silicates in the ground or on the bottom locking it up or sequestering it. CO2 is used commercialy for a variety of purposes form fire extinguishers to making your soda-pop fizzy, the majority of this CO2 comes not from fractional distilation of atmospheric gasses, or captured from power-plant exhaust, but comes either from under-ground deposites or is chemicaly generated from previously sequestered geological sources. If CO2 can be economicaly seperated from exhaust in this way, and is used to replace other commercial sources its a win-win, If I'm wrong we are ahead, If I'm right we are still ahead. It's a no-brainer and one less thing that I have to listen to the environmental-whacko's whine about. So let's just do it.
I've often thought that the success of the motorcycle shows, meant that a science show might also be successfull. A lot of the problems that Pauli Jr. has paralels in more formal engineering endvors that bring scientific concepts to physical devices. Doing a science show in a reality show format could be very interesting.
Novell seems to be saying that as a distributer of Linux, as in Novell-SuSE-Ximian, that any claim against Linux developers, from giants like IBM through Redhat or SuSE throught to one-line Joe, is a claim against their stategic inrests.
Way back when I was the age of most of todays file-swappers, we'd all get together and decide who'd buy which albums, you know thoses things made out of vinyl. After that we'd take turns recording the albums onto 1/4 in tape on our reel-to-reels, I think the net effect is we got used to having a variety of music, probably much more than we ever would have purchased otherwise. Because of this I think the RIAA is shooting themselves in the foot. Suing poor College punks today, means rich yuppies will not buy music tomorrow.
. That makes our system a democratic republic no we are a Constitutionaly limit republic, no matter what the republicans who want big bussiness, the democrats who want big government would have you believe.
I usualy get flamed a lot because I'm a Regan conservative, in a pretty liberal environment arround here, but what I realy fail to see is how Kerry is any differnt from Bush, just the same old stuff a little smoother. With so little choise maybe voting for a thrid party candidate is becoming much more valid statement.

no we are a Constitutionaly limit republic, no matter what the republicans who want big bussiness, the democrats who want big government would have you believe.
Not so the constitution was signed by people who were guilty of bigger crimes than felony tresspass, things like treason and sedition.
That's the way I learned it, the majors then were the Democrats and the Whigs.
