For real. Last I read on the Apache site, 1.3.22 was supposed to be the last 1.x release of Apache before they went full bore with 2.0. Come on Apache, fix me up with some 2.0 goodness!
How could such a powerfful pain inhibitor be a boon? I see no area of work in the world that would make no-pain a boon, except maybe war (and I think war should be as painful as possible, maybe they'll use the information to make soldiers hurt more when they're killing each other).
I agree. I have nothing against animal testing, but I am against removing the "pain gene" so that we can have a better pain killer. We don't NEED a better pain killer. What we DO NEED is better surgical techniques so that pain is reduced to a minimum before it ever occurs. While this isn't possible for arthritis patients (and people who suffer from similiar maladies), I'm sorry, but pain is nature's way of saying "Hey stupid, don't do that!"
Nothing, but I also like to think that one day I won't have to wear glasses and that the muscle that was removed from my left forearm might be replaced (I'm left handed, and had cancer in my left elbow, of all the dumb luck).
If I am not mistaken, they have already taken the brain of a sea lamprey and connected it to a motor on wheels (and it actually moved around on it's own, until the brain die), so this is sorta old news then, huh?
Okay, so I exagerated a little bit, but you got the point. Sea levels won't be raised significantly until the glacier melts as all the water is still in solid form. Its not really displacing that much water right now.
We are talking about an iceberg the size of a small state for crying out loud, and most of the ice in antarctica is already floating. It won't raise sea levels significantly until all that water is released.
Yes, 3 feet is an insane amount, but thats a lot of friggin ice, considering that 90% of the iceberg is actually underwater.
This all exists. This all has already been said and done. Then WHY does Mr. Bush, the only man with access to every bit of information this country has to offer, think that he has to develop a "new" internet. Obviously a new 'net already exists, all it needs to do is expand and be standardized. *shakes head* Sometimes I am actually ashamed to be a citizen of the USA, but only sometimes.
I have also heard that the Ross Ice Shelf (which is the size of the state of Deleware in square miles) is getting ready to break off as well and could possibly raise world sea levels by 3 feet when it is fully melted.
Personally, I don't understand the excitement of a beta release. Sure it is a step in the right direction (that being forward and not reverse), but other then the chance to take part in a project as large as Apache or Linux, why all the fuss?
No, they just felt that it was only of real interest to us users who actually use Apache for various reasons. I'm currently running the 1.3.22 version for Win32 on my Win98 box and I must say, this is not of any interest to anyone I know, except a feee geek friends.
Although I'm sure that the MPAA and RIAA (did I get those right?) would love to ban the internet. It would definitly cut down there legal costs of fighting internet piracy. *hopes that no exec's from either acronym comes by and gets ideas from this post*
Agreed, but as for telephone numbers, it's still just numbers. It doesn't matter what the letters stand for as you have to dial in numbers. I think the idea of using IP addresses to access sites and/or using TLD's such as.sun and.ibm would be a grand idea. That way The corp's who own them would be totally identifable. A case that I believe similiar to this has to do with the owner of http://www.neirp.com (CNN is suing him for supposed defamation of both their website for CNN Finacial (recently renamed CNN MOney) and for defamtion of the CNN logo. The site in question was cnndn.com (taken down due to court order). Pretty sad to see a company act that way, especially since it's most likely the lawyers who are suggesting the lawsuit (in the end, they still make their dollars no matter who wins).
Not neccassarily as some of the most skilled billiards' players get paid the big bucks. Although while I must say I am not "skilled" at pool, I am fairly adequate and can hold my own, most of the time.;)
This is just like CNN (www.cnn.com) sueing this d00d over his website, cnndn.com (http://neirp.com/). Okee, maybe not JUST like that case, but it is similiar.:)

DSL fast enough? I won't be happyu until I get an OC-256 connection hard-wired directly to my brain. *drools*
What's wrong with just being human, anyway?
