if you didnt have ads in newspapers they'd be
$5 instead of 75c. 75c for a daily newspaper, what kind of drugs are you on and can I have some. The most I've ever seen for a newspaper is 50c. Where are you at, California, where prices are so inflated that you have lost touch of reality. -----
Wouldn't you want to know how being in another body is. Another point is, who said science was ethical, science was made for the betterment of mankind, not to be ethical.
I'm a C programmer. I've heard about perl but I've never actually programmed in it. What are its advantages and disadvantages? How does it compare to C with respect to speed? What can I do with it that I couldn't do else wise except do dynamic HTML with compiance with Apache?
Why shouldn't they go to war. People have went to war on things less then that. Threaten the freedom of speach of my people will you? War. With population chrisis popping up all over the world, people will be looking for any little excuse to boost their economy and decrease the population.
I have nothing against the V-Chip. The problem with it is, it add a couple extra bucks and adds a feature I don't want. Unfortunately, I'm most likely to get one and pay that extra buck or two because the US government has said that X percent of TVs must have the V-Chip. The chip itself should be optional and not forced by law in any manner.
First it will be the Nazis. Then it will be the Ku Klux Klan. Next, it will be the pro-abortionist, then the anti-abortionist, then the gay advocates, then..., and when they finally stop finding anything controversial to go after, it will the Jews, followed by the Muslims, followed by the Christians, followed by the revolutionaries, then right-winged presidential and senatorial candidates. The list will go on and on. I don't like Nazis anymore then the next person but if you take one person's speach away because they are not "moral" then you leave a gap open for your own speach to be taken away. To protect your own speach, you must protect others, even people you hate. -----
This does not make it right. People with different beliefs should be able to express theirselves anyway possible, even if it means sacrificing a little bit of bandwidth. Freedom does not exist for the close minded.
1) Most gamers are gamers on mid-budget macines because they don't have enough money to buy mr. UGM
2) Unless their really well designed, most gamers will filter them out like they do banner ads.
3) By the time one gets a game, many of the new products advertised will already be out of date.
4) If they advertise some steay product like coke, that person is not likely to stop what their doing, go to the store, and buy a coke
5) I don't want advertisements on my games unless I can get the game for a few dollars less and even then, its iffy.
6) How do the companies know if the advertising is working? Are they going to look at all your hidden in-house video cameras to see if their buying their product.
7) Advertising leads to anger, anger leads to hatred, hatred is the path to the dark side.
8) The advertising companies already have enough influence in my life, why should they get more.
9) It will more likely benefit big companies then smaller ones.

First of all, the reason a neutron star is called such is because all the proton and electrons have decayed into neutrons due to the intense gravity. A neutron is created when a proton and electron merge, forming a slightly larger particle and releasing most of the energy lost in the form of photons. This is caused by intense pressure by gravity, forcing particles to fuse such as hydrogen and helium. The idea of a neutron star is at some point, proton and electron s start fusing together in mass because gravity has reached the point where their is almost no space between particles and electrons have very little to no room to rotate. In theory, as one approached toward the center of such an object, it will look more and more normal because gravity starts to cancel itself out. -----
Their should be no flame war, bliss(who should have got a 2 or something) is right, the evidence is outstanding for a non-genesis theory for this non-debate. Radiation, moving galaxies, how much more evidence do you people need? -----
Your worried about the moon crashing into the Earth if we produced energy from tides. Do you know how stupid that sounds? Who was your highschool physics teacher? If you knew anything about physics, this is impossible.

Windows XP is going to suck. I got a beta version from a link at windowsxp.nu and it really sucked. I don't like windows but I hate macs even more. Of course, the beta version will probably be better then the final one anyways. -----
And in other news, two extreme programmers, who were recently working on a project for the Pentagon bombed the World Trade Center after complaining that the local workers their were using proprietary software. -----
1.Apples products have always been inferior. Er, and you base this opinion on... ? Hmm. They suck.
2.I'm talking from a software Engineering point of view. Ah, OK. So you don't like the API's then? Tell me, could you list a single
API of any sort? How about a MacOS API? Or are you just truly talking out your butt as you seem to be? Ever tried a device driver for the Macintosh, if you haven't I wouldn't talk, not saying its any better then Redmond
4.it didn't have a real operating system, Ah, it may not have one up to your exacting standards but yes, MacOS pre-X does have an
OS. It doesn't have protected memory and relies on cooperative multitasking instead of preemptive multitasking but yes, it's there and in
every sense a "real" OS. Didn't, past tense.
5.no command shell, So that's your criteria? Righ, MacOS doesn't ship with one. There are third-party ones but then the whole idea of
MacOS was to get *away* from the command line & use a WIMP (Windows-Icons-Mouse Pointer) interface. Why would anybody bother running an OS without a command shell. It's just too freakin' time consuming, dragging and dropping.
6.no real easy to use interface, Er, the MacOS GUI(s) aren't easy-to-use? I don't think you'll find a lot of agreement there. Ranging
from novices to power-users most agree that Mac's GUI(s) are their strongest feature. Not perfect but arguably better for the vast
majority of folks then anything else availiable out of of a box. Again, no command shell, comes with a single mouse button, must suck.
7.just a GUI, that's it That's right, a GUI floating in space, no OS below it... (Hint: Go check the root directory "System Folder" on any
Mac, more particularly check the files "System" & "Finder" on any pre-X MacOS.) Eye Candy sucks, production rules.
8.If you wanted extra, you had to buy it. Such as?... This differs from?.. No Comment
9.Apple is certainly better then Microsoft in every ascpect in GUI and OS stability design MacOS >X is more stable then Win2K?!
(choke) Heck I like Macs but not even I can say that one without giggling. Easier to maintain, yes. More productive, yes. More stable,
not. MacOS X is shaping up to be far more stable OS but with MacOS 9.x Mac'ers were just happy it's the "most stable release in
years"; note no one saying it's rock-solid stable like a *nix box usually is. The fact is that much of the unstability comes from third party
patches but the point that it's easy to destabilize the OS remains (try holding down the mouse - freeze everything.) Sorry Honey but right
there you've completely marked yourself as a clueless goober. Have you ever tried overclocking a Win98 box. On the same computer, I overclocked my win98 box 100 Mhz machine, non-stable. Linux, extremely stable. I haven't used a macintosh for quite sometime but what I do remember is that they were descently stable
10.but the lack of a command shell in early versions Again what's with the command shell? You got some sort of prompt fetish? What,
exactly, would you have wanted this for and why do you believe Apple didn't include it if it was so critical? Without the command shell, all we have are beginners and Right brainers, no one who actually knows how to use a computer.
11.and that of a good advertising department killed Apple Yeah, that 1984 commercial sank without a trace... Look, Apple has had
good campaigns & bad campaigns but most will agree that the early ones were excellent and some of the more recent ones have been
pretty good. Name any company that's had 25 years of unqualifiedly great advertising... None. Do you think Microsoft has ever taken a year in without a profit? If Apple could sale their product, every one would have one.
12.Former Apple products were nowhere near that of UNIX Er, first of all back then *nix's were big iron / big ticket items. Name one
consumer OS that was comperable to a *nix... Uh huh. Look here son, you gotta go reading more then the textbook-for-dummies
before you go lecturing your betters on the history of computing (the back issues of Byte would be a good start.) Do you remember the age of terminals, dialing into computers? This is what I'm referring to. I never had a Unix machine of my own back then(who did) but atleast I'm not a dumbass like you
13.The problem with Unix and its precursor, Mulics, Not. Unix's name is a play on the name "Multics" but they're not related, not in any
significent way. As someone who had a Multics account trust me on this. Precursor means something that came before, it does not mean they have to be related. Unix started out as a single user, independent version, with most of the basic ideas of Multics plus new ones.
14.is that they were made for users who already knew how to use a computer and not for beginners As to being written for novices / power
users, back then we were all novices & by definition power users. There was no concept of different skill levels, the wonder was that any of
this worked at all & there was certianly darn little to compare it to. Certain groups of people develop faster then others and I was one of them. Its like duh when one states that everybody starts as a novice without knowledge of the operation of a computer, but some users remain that way while others learn and become "experts"
The problem with Monday-morning Quarterbacking is that you had to have watched the game, or at least read about it. You, heck I'm not even sure
you're literate much less conscious or capable of critical thought.
Do your parents know you're on their computer? Isn't it your bedtime? Or naptime? Mebbe when you grow up you'll learn to write about what you
know, in the meantime be quiet, don't fidget, pay attention & mebbe you'll learn something. If you were actually a literate user, you would stop using a Mac and get a real machine with a real OS, I did several years ago.

I love Linux, I hate Windows. The problem with implementing WIN32 api to Linux is that, not only do you have to implement all the api calls correctly, we also have to implement all the bugs in the API exactly in the same way Redmond does it. Everybody knows that their is like a million bugs in the windows api and in DirectX. We'll never be able to find them all and by the time we do, all of a sudden, win32 will become win64 and DirectX will become "Microsoft Penguin Destroyer" we will have to implement another million bugs along with a billion mysterious api calls. As you can see, this is not feasible.
