The terrorists have won. They have taught us that terrorism can get people to change their ways. Look how much they have changed the USA. We need to take that lesson and apply it to other areas that need change.
I call BS.
a) contrary to what many of its citizens seem to think, the US of A is not the center of the world, and its significance as a beacon of light and hope declines by the day. b) just as some leaders of the muslim world have utilized the by now famous cartoons as a means to an end, the US government has done the same using terrorists. all you need as a government is a nice target to point at and designate as the "bad guys" and all the sheep will happily bleat in the name of security and safety...
The US would have changed anyway. Decadence has eroded the ideals the country was founded on. Attributing these changes to terrorists is giving them far more credit than they deserve. The most powerful country with the biggest, best equipped army, and yet running around scared...too much arrogance, not enough pride, i suppose.
Well, teleportation has the unfortunate feature that if I want you to have a copy of A, I have to destroy my copy of it in the process. Ideally, what quantum cloning would do is give you and me each a copy of A. Unfortunately, you can't do that: there's something called the No Cloning Theorem [**] that expressly forbids doing that.
Dunno why, but especially this part sounds like the wet dream of your average **AA organization. Let's all get up in arms about quantum DRM...
judging from the article, he wrote his own code to do the infecting, which sort of disqualifies as a script kiddy. Doesn't make him any less pathetic though.
Calling Windows a "program" is a bit of an understatement. Remind me again how many gigabytes a minimal install of that program requires, and what OS it runs on.:)
Compared to some of the more recent games I've installed Windows XP is tiny:-) Let me know when it takes 4 ISO's ^H^H^H^H^HCD's.
How in the world can they ship this? It's not even a firmware bug.. It's missing in its entirety! Been disliking ATI recently.. this dropped them down to the "I'd rather buy a S3 Virge" video card level..
Ahhh, the good old S3 Virge. Still got one of them lying around. Whenever I'm faced with a machine that refuses to post(or at least refuses to display a screen) I plop in that card to rule out the possibility of the graphics card being the problem. Always works, no matter the OS.
While programming using SDL requires knowledge of C and access to a C compiler, using SDL_perl does not. This greatly decreases the amount of time it takes to get something up on the screen and working.
Yet, it does need knowledge of Perl, another programming language, and access to a Perl interpreter. So, indeed, in the end it needs the exact same thing that is needed to write a game in C or C++. A person needs knowledge of a programming language, knowledge of an API and access to software which will make the program happen. So, having this in mind, wtf is that intended to mean? Sheesh....
Because, well, C and Perl are the same level of complexity. All this superficial nonsense like garbage collection, not having to worry about memory allocation etc. won't save any time whatsoever.
With their embassies burning and citizens threatened on their lives because some newspapers printed some cartoons I guess that list may change..
Well, we did have a number of Muslims on the streets of Holland exercizing their right to free speech by voicing their discontent, to put it mildly, in a protest. However, with the exception of a couple of dickheads that felt it was necessary to throw rocks at shops, they did so in a peaceful manner.
The problems regarding Muslims in the Western world have been slowly stewing for quite a while now, tis about time to get it all out in the open. I just hope the majority manages to keep the fanatics in check so things can be worked out in a reasonably civilized manner, while all the folks involved realize just what situation we're in exactly.
Thomas And The Magical Words was a game I ran across due to PA. First time I ever bought a game online, and can't say I regret it. Didn't run into any drewling problems when spelling gourmet tho.
The only thing unique with american slavery was its size in numbers and also that you went so far as to go to a different continent to pick them up. We europeans rather just went to some neighbouring country to round them up.
Actually, the Dutch, and last time I checked we were still Europeans, spent a lot of time transporting slaves from Africa to the Americas. Even back then the dirty work got outsourced...
Oh, and it is more prevalent in females than males, and there is no cure as it is a form of high-level autism.
Although those that are female tend to suffer a lot more from the affliction than men do, the symptoms tend to be a lot more visible. Then again, being an insensitive prick is just an extreme form of manliness, so people tend to notice less. Also note that Asperger is one of the most recent "hits" which means everyone and their dogs get diagnosed as such.
ye gods. I'll actually admit to having done so in mIRC, which is already plenty evil all by itself, both as a program and in its scripting abilities, but what you're describing is of such an evil nature that it would require at least 4 superheroes to squash it. Bring on the Fantastic 4mat!
how about being able to read in a string and use that as a variable name?
How about we sacrifice some virgins while we're at it as well? The word evil doesn't even begin to describe this practice, no matter the programming language. Could you give an example of where this might actually be useful?
We had and have war for oil, but God help us all when a war over water breaks out.
From the statements made in your post I presume God and yourself are one and the same? Clearly you deem yourself capable of judging who is and isn't good enough to be allowed to live on.

but the universe is big and not so bright.
So we're all living inside a football player then? Damn, sure explains a lot...
when you get g-lined into cyberspace, noone can hear you scream. Hence, I'm always right when I'm offended.
as the numbers of cores increase, and they will! the names will get more rediculous, and harder for the average John Doe to pronounce
Hardcore?

argghhh, never actually got around to saying what I wanted to say. Far more men have it than women, or at least get diagnosed as such.

are you merely making a point or secretly striving to have you geekcard permanently revoked?
oh, just shut up and sing the song, will ya? =)

she was part little sister, part Baron Harkonnen and fully nude at the time. Cut the poor girl some slack ;-)

I don't recall young Paul ever actually getting his butt kicked by those sparring bots...perhaps you're referring to that awful excuse for a movie?
what's wrong with IRC? still works fine for me. being the network admin helps though ;-)
no matter what, both MACHO and WIMP are merely forms of Greatly Exagerrated Extra-terristrial Kaos.
