I'm hearing everyone say, "Oh, this might be Atlantis!" But if it's even half as old as they think it is (assuming it's a city at all), how on earth could Europeans (or anyone in that part of the world) have known about it in Plato's time or even earlier? It's all the way across the Atlantic, and there's no reason that I know of that knowledge of any city could have travelled across that ocean then.
OK.. so it violates the principle of causality in Special Relativity. But as a believer in the Holy Order of Bogodynamics, this just confirms my belief in a FTL communication, mediated by Hog's Bogons. After all, it is thought that ancient civilizations were way ahead of us in technology.
Scientists say a mini black hole can be found inside every package of the WinXP 'operating' system. They confirmed the theory, based on observations saying 'Suddenly everything sucks'.
(The real reason why the graffiti artists did s/clicks/sucks has nothing to do with the level of suction of WinXP or black holes. It means that, instead of using a CLI, in WinXP you do everything under su.)
Junkbuster is your friend, it runs as a proxy on localhost to filter ads. So you can do more fine-tuning than just hostnames: filter out e.g. all directories named/ads/ on any host.
I think it's the un-sensible people who don't whine; if you never complain, nobody will ever know that you have a problem.
I was trying to make a point about the difference between whining and complaining. If you can change things by complaining, then please do. Whining is what some people do over here at/. when they feel they don't have the power to change things.
Agreed. I never understand people who whine about 'having to use' Windoze, yet don't make the change for better. Even if it's at work. You can either quit and look for a nicer employer, or shut up and deal with it.
In general, nobody should complain about things they can potentially change themselves. And once you're out of Windoze hell, there's no reason to whine. So, sensible people should never whine about anything! Of course if it's not your fault, do complain to the appropriate person.
I don't have to keep bashing M$ because I don't user their products.
..an easier and more effective solution would be to put QOS restraints on people. Who cares how many devices are hanging off one network connection? It's the bandwidth they're using that's important. And if bandwidth were limited to cable modem customers they wouldn't be so eager to share what they have with all their neighbors.
Exactly! This is what many posters have already pointed out - the companies sell bandwidth, they charge for bandwidth, and what I do with it is my personal business. People can exhaust the capacity even with a single box.
If the company cannot handle the Mbps they claim to provide, they should not be providing it. This idea is called 'responsibility'.

I'm sure you love using Windows instead of a real OS, because, hey, computers are made for web browsing, email and wordprocessing. Who on earth would want the stupid features of Linux or something. But hey, there are GAMES for Windows so you're screwed, man.
with the ridiculously low hardware prices right now, not to mention all the PC's/. readers already own,
why bother to void your warranty on a brand new X-Box and spend all that time messing around?
On a side-note, Adams was a devout atheist. It doesn't seem fitting that we should be worried that he's looking down on all of us screaming,
"No, you idiots! Don't publish that!"
So you honestly believe that it takes a god to enable transcendental life? Maybe you could study Buddhism or the like, and realize the world of religions isn't all black and white. Atheism isn't necessarily pure materialism where everything ends at the moment of death.
It is about the current. It was mentioned in the first (more complicated) procedure, as taken from the processor specs. Also, if the path is longer, its resistance is higher (other things being equal) so the current problem (pun intended) is even worse.
The old Athlon required so little current over that short that a graphite streak was enough. The new Athlon needs something with a higher conductivity, as the current is higher.

That's logic - you can wait forever then because of the bugs in 2.4.17 and so on... I hope you get an endorphin overdose from your precious 1.0.0.

Because we can.
