While 'exotic' people can look beautifull, there have actualy been sciantific studies into the nature of beauty. It turns out that the more average people look, the more beautiful.
If you were to take pictures of thousands of random men, or women, and use a computer to create an 'average' that 'average' will look very attractive.
Well, some people looking attractive, what's wrong with that?
Maybe they should all have blond hair and blue eyes too.
Maybe, but why?
Maybe, because we have this great new group of people the other people aren't needed anymore. all those lesser developed countries that can't afford to buy their children only take up our space. Maybe we should kill them all, we know they are inferior.
Uh, or maybe we shouldn't. In fact for sure we shouldn't. I don't see what this has to do with genetic engineering.
They are different the nus, they must be inferior.
Well, that's your opinion, not mine.
Anyway, New genomes would be bread into the larger pool, and propagate through the system. No one needs to die.
That's very interesting because I learned in my HS AP American Government class that the media and various other institutions are not under the control of a secret cabal.
No, not secret
Anyway, will all regard to your Highschool Government teacher, and text book. If it was secret, how would they know?
Let's get another example: The Pentagon Papers. The government had this little thing called Vietnam that (because of incompetent people) they bungled and tried to cover up. Someone leaked the info and discredited the government. Nixon tried to use all of his formidable power to stop the NY Times to remove the material but he failed because of democracy.
Vietnam? Vietnam?? WTF are you talking about, the Vietnam war was not secret, and in fact Nixon ended it!!! What you are talking about was Watergate(again, let me complement your High school education). And that had nothing to do with democracy, but rather freedom of speech.
The government doesn't control the media (least, not in the US. try china though). But someone does. I'm not saying that there secret, or evil, or even in agreement with each other. However the media must be controlled by someone, otherwise it wouldn't function. Most of the media. Music, movies, video games, etc are controlled by a handful of companies. SONY, NewsCorp (fox), Viacom, Time-Werner. Almost all of the general(non-internet) media in the world comes from these sources.
SouthPark has no place in the internet! For months and years now it has brainwashed our hapless children into doing unspeakable crimes!
Well, this is somewhat beside the point, but southpark has been available online for quite some time now, usualy in realmedia format though, and I don't want to rape my computer by puting on another viral application that feels the need to rape windows and reassociate every single filetype with itself... (quicktime is bad enough, I can't view png files on the net normaly anymore when its installed...)
If you want, you can put comments in the output of a C compiler. just do somthing like this: main(){ "Hello, this is a comment!!" cout << "This program file has a comment!!"; }
If you want, you can put comments in the output of a C compiler. just do somthing like this: main(){ "Hello, this is a comment!!" cout "This program file has a comment!!"; }
When you link code, you connect the parts of the code you've already writen together
When you're doing asm programing, each.asm file you make turns into a seperate object. by linking code, you can write diffrent functions in diffrent files, and re-use them for other projects. With C, you can use header files, and other things, but linking is still used. There is no diffrence between 'linked code' and 'machine code'
Assembly is just a human readable form of machine code, There is no reason for a compiler to create assembly, beacuse humans arn't going to be reading it. When you see the asm output in a debug window, its actualy just been unassembled
I have to agree with the poster before you. These guys arn't claimnig that they wrote an OS to try and take over the world, displace QNX, or crush microsoft. All they did was write a little OS. Obviously, if they cared about portablity, or whatever else, they wouldn't have done it.
. The readers of Slashdot expect more.
Exspect more from what? does every program ever writen have to comform to you exacting standards? If you don't want it, don't download it. No one is forcing you to.
They use a zilog(sp?) z80. It was a pretty popular chip back in the day, Gameboy, NES atari... I think the apple two used one as well (but I'm not quite sure).
the z80 lives on today in the embeded market, a lot of people know how to code in it (All calculator games for the ti8x's are writen in pure assmbly).
There was nothing particularly funny in the consept of of your statement, however, the way you said it just made me laugh. (You should have said (The moderators are so on crack, it hurts. , removing the 'high' part. oh well.)

Personally, I can't understand why this project exists. Speed? Hardware is fast, it's always getting faster, and existing operating systems are as fast as you make them. Being the speed king matters for all of 7 months, when Intel releases a new revision of their processor that negates all your hard hacking. Well, if they're having fun writing it, I guess it has a place.
I heard that in Kansas its illegal to teach evolution in school...
Um... then you heard wrong, or you have some sort of reading deficiency. In Kansas it is no longer Required to teach "Macro" evolution, IE species evolving from other ones. It is still required to teach "Micro" evolution, Evolution within a species.
I'm not defending the law, just pointing out what it actually is.
That still dosn't explain it.

Actualy, those laws limit the speed of actualy 56k modems to 53kbits/sec. This wouldn't stop someone from using wireless ethernet from there office, or getting a t1 line or somthing.

Hm. I do not see It is illegal to defy the laws of Newtonian physics in here. Someone better get off their donut-fattened legislative ass and rectify that!
Actualy, that would be pretty uninforceable.
Newtonian physics is only an aproximation, and broken 100% of the time (Though, for the most part you don't notice unless you're moving at a significant persentace of the speed of light, or if you're looking at geometry smalle enough for quantem effects to be aperant)
I found a couple listed there. Denmark: Encrypting data files, owning, distributing etc. of encryption programs and creating such programs for any electronic medias is now against the law in Denmark due to fear for terrorists, left and right wing extremist, fundamentalists and distributors of illegal pornography.
Uxbridge, Ontario. In Canada: Residents are not allowed to have an Internet connection faster than 56k.

There are some on here that don't really seem that stupid. for instance:
China: To go to college you must be intelligent.
Italy: Striking someone with a fist is considered a felony
Singapore: Cigarettes are illegal at all public places
Austrailia: The legal age for straight sex is 16, unless the person is is in the care/custody of the older person, in which case it is 18.
Netherlands: It is semi-legal to smoke pot.
Prostitution is legal but the prostitutes must pay taxes like any other business.
Israel: If you have been maintaining an illegal radio station for five or more years, the station becomes legal.
------------------ My favorite dumb law, though is this one from Sigapore: Oral sex is illegal unless it is used as a form of foreplay.
So basicaly, if you give some one oral sex, you're legaly required to have sex with them then? Could you get a woman thrown into jail for not doing it??
I also like this one from Chico CA: Detonating a nuclear device within the city limits results in a $500 fine.
