I totally forgot about Sun, but I remember when a bunch of Linux distros were jumping numbers to compete on version numbers. We're more advanced than Linux X because we have a bigger number. I don't agree about the kernel number though because of that damn experimental branch. Microsoft decided to sidestep this whole mess back in 95 then sidestep the year issue by using names. Since Microsoft has a slow release schedule random names work fine, but an organization with a quicker schedule should use an alphabetical naming convention like Ubuntu does. That way the average person knows which version is newer.
Assume there is an omnipotent god that created us for the discussion.
1. Were we made in God's image? Our creator might not be like us at all therefore we can't contribute human characteristics to God (Anthropomorphism) 2. Does God care about us? Is God a dead-beat parent? Power to create does not automatically mean feelings of responsibility to the creation 3. Does God change? Living beings can change throughout their life. Has God changed between Creation and now? If God has then any old information we have on God might be wrong. 4. What is the source of information on God? Where did we get this info and how has the info been manipulated by man or other entities? Even if God talked to a prophet, how do we know the information hasn't been changed by people in power in secular or spiritual organizations or the Devil himself. 5. Should you believe everything written about God? If holy books are the Word of God and haven't been changed by outside sources should you treat them as the whole truth. God's actions may not reflect his own teachings. If you choose not to accept everything as truth then what amkes you decide what parts to believe in. If you're a Christian, should you believe God flooded the world and killed most people or let Jesus die for our sins? Both could be true or false. 5. Is God fair or good? Power doesn't equal either. If unchanging or changing rules have been set, it doesn't necessarily mean fair in one sense. A good person could still be punished for not worshipping God in a lot of religions. It might be fair in another sense that the rules are applied equally to everyone. If God is good and rewards good people whether or not they worship him then is any religion necessary? 6. Should we worship God? Even if God is a good, fair, and loving parent, does that mean we should worship? Maybe a thanks and I love you every once in awhile, but worship? Do you worship your own parents? 7. Which religion or religions are right. I don't know all religions so maybe my parents taught me the wrong one.
I have a lot more questions, but unfortunately no answers.

And no, I'm not flaming anyone, I'm just saying how I see it as I work in I.T. as an MS sysadmin.:-)
Yet another IT person stuck in their ways. Things change. I work with z/OS, Unix, OpenVMS, and Windows. Currently, there isn't anything I do on Windows desktop at work that I can't do on Linux. A lot of employees use mail, browser, office applications and maybe another application(which might have a version for Unix).
You have an over-inflated ego for an admin of an OS created in a garage. Not a flame, just pointing out that things can change over the years. Look at where MS is now.
I haven't used an Intuit program since they installed the C-Dilla malware with Turbo Tax. That was a greater breach of trust than this slip-up. There's a good chance that any company will have a problem sooner or later. It's the frequency of the problems, how they handle the problems, and their overall view of their customers that matters. Two companies that I won't buy from Intuit - adding malware to tax software - I'd be annoyed if a game did this, but having financial software do this crosses the line. Iomega - defective hardware is bad enough, but settling a lawsuit with rebates to buy more hardware from you - you've got to be kidding.
One definition of alien - differing in nature or character typically to the point of incompatibility. For all we know, real paranormal activity could be aliens trying to communicate with us.
Scientists aren't looking for intelligent life, they're just looking for life. Discovering an amoeba on a different planet would be a major find.
My dad had these too. He said they could be annoying in summer going from the bright sun to a dark room since it took awhile for the glasses to adjust from dark to light.
I thought this would be time based trials, but read this "while outwitting the opponent cars but to do so it needs to be smart, it needs adapt to the behaviour of the other cars as it drives." Great, I get to spend my time developing a driving robot just to have another robot freak out and slam my car into the wall. Haven't they heard of baby steps? Hopefully, they'll use time trials and a run with a remote controlled car to weed out the obviously not ready ones. Seriously, if they just race then a quick start and swerving towards any other car will probably get you ahead since I think a lot of teams would program in collision avoidance.
The microscopic animals, less than four times the length of a human sperm
At first, I thought if I was that small I'd have a hard time finding a mate too. Then it struck me. Who the hell compares the size of anything to sperm. Couldn't they say it was less than 1/10 the width of human hair?
I'd have to have more info, but one thing that explains your current physique is that you're not eating enough. There's lot of ways of estimating metabolic rate but 2500 for your weight with low activity sounds about right. Now, if you eat between 2000-2400 calories, you will lose weight. Once you start going below that, your body adapts. It thinks food supply is in short supply. It will use muscle mass for fuel thereby also reducing the amount of calories needed because there is now less muscle. When it can, the body is more likely to store energy as fat since it doesn't know when fuel is going to be available. The one meal a day reinforces this idea. You'd probably healthier eating small meals and snacks 6 times a day, so your body expects a steady food supply.
You have to realize this is an internet diagnosis of a common problem, I don't know all the factors in your particular case. There are other medical conditions and diseases that can explain this too.
One possible option - run a wifi router and keep the logs. When you want, switch the MAC on your computer. Everything will be connected to your cable account, but certain activities will be associated with a different MAC. Not fool proof, but it might be enough.

Two companies that I won't buy from

I got new Registered ECC 256MB DDR for $25 about 5 years ago, so I can complain.
While all the garbage that gets put in the registry is annoying, it's more annoying that all the garbage doesn't get deleted when removing a program.
A 400W power supply (even without standby) does not draw 400W constantly. Get a Kill-A-Meter and you'll find out how much the system actually uses.
Live Action Halo movie = probably rent it when bored

Live Action RVB movie = already waiting in line at the theater
Hopefully, the live action would mimic the animation of the orignal episodes. Also keep the helmets on.

Information wants to be free. It also doesn't want people without the copyrights to make money off of it.
Sorry, just trying to be clever. Guess I need practice. Light simultaneously exhibits properties of both waves(analog) and particles(digital).
So is this an analog or digital computer?
Good point on the poop. Just because you eat the calories, it doesn't mean that your body absorbs the calories.

While your post was funny, http://gaybuntu.com/ exists. Why? I'm not sure.
While I'm not a fan of Ubuntu, it seems like a good choice with the community support for home users and commercial support for businesses.
Well, at least someone realizes what's going on. jmorris42, you've restored my faith in humanity.
