In the latest issue of Linux Journal Google has included a "Google Labs Aptitude Test". I've scanned the test and posted the images on my website. Some really odd and interesting questions. By the way, an icosahedron is a 20-sided polygon.
Ug looks out over the plain as he waits in ambush in the lair of the sabertoothed tiger, unaware that further inside the cave was the tiger's mate, waiting in ambush for Ug.
It would be easier for them to create a standards-based, W3C compliant, HTML 4.0 valid web-site then to redesign it in flash and now the disabled can also access it, which isn't the case with flash.
As nice as that would be, the Constitution (as it was originally written) gives the government a permanent license to use patented material as it sees fit only for governmental purposes (e.g. can't just give a sub-contractor the right to use said patented material for him/herself but said sub-contractor can build such patented material for use by the government) w/o having to pay royalties.
touche. I was just trying to point out that it might not be as complex as the OP of this thread is saying it is. It could very well be due to other factors then black holes, but black holes are the simplest observable phenomenon that can explain what is being observed.
"Occam's razor is a logical principle attributed to the mediaeval philosopher William of Occam (or Ockham). The principle states that one should not make more assumptions than the minimum needed. This principle is often called the principle of parsimony. It underlies all scientific modelling and theory building. It admonishes us to choose from a set of otherwise equivalent models of a given phenomenon the simplest one. In any given model, Occam's razor helps us to "shave off" those concepts, variables or constructs that are not really needed to explain the phenomenon. By doing that, developing the model will become much easier, and there is less chance of introducing inconsistencies, ambiguities and redundancies."
Don't make things more difficult then they have to be. Black holes are the simplest explanation. Anti-matter and anti-gravity is a more complex explanation than what is possibly needed.
H.G. Wells is da bomb. I could only wish for one GOOD year, much less 4 in a row. (:
BTW, not only have I read the book and have the original radio-broadcast, but I have a 70s "musical" version on two CD's (when I say music, I mean the Moody Blues or some other group plays background music and song interludes while the narrator talk-sings the story).
Slashdot Mirror
But I'm going to.
/.er.
It's M$'s fault. Why do I hate to say it? Because it'll just be seen as more anti-MS crap from another
All I have to say is if the shoe fits, wear it.
In this individual case a PHB made a decision to scrap the old, stable OS to a new, known-to-be-unstable OS. That screams PHB.

Agreed. I'm surprised the MPAA and RIAA haven't been called on this practice by the DoJ.
If Ug was human, it shouldn't be that hard.

Am I the only one to see a progression from Hal-3 to the Hal-9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey?
Of course I could just be overly paranoid.
*checks to make sure his first flight to Jupiter isn't abaord a ship with a Hal-<any-version> computer*
Just 7,000 years?
Who is OSRM?
Best idea ever!
We can only hope that Badnarik gets 25% of the vote (preferably more!)

I like to occassionally use root@youaintgotit.com

There was also a movie about this. It didn't end that well either.
The first calculator is generally recognized to be the Abacus.
Punch card machines are recognized as being the first mechanical computer and they were invented by IBM in the USA
don't you just love science at the sub-atomic level?

I'm not trying to blindside any theory. I'm just saying it might not be as complex as the OP of this thread is wanting to make it.

so true.
So much for "companies [not lasting] a century", eh? (;
Levi and Coca-Cola have been around longer than 100 years just to name a few.
true, true.
Bah, don't worry. We know our legal system is in the dumps right now.
Not much to be done really, at least not without restraining people from being stupid, and if we did that we'd ALL be in prison.
Of course SCO has forgotten that the gov't has automatic rights to use Copyrighted and Patented material w/o compensating the copyright/patent holder.
