You could run the chess program on a second computer. Let's see them scan that!
A strong player knows when he's playing a computer. The pace of the moves is one of the biggest tip offs. For instance, a computer will tend to take similar amounts of time on a simple recapture and on a tricky, complex position.
I would pay $8 or so a ticket if I could get a 42oz Coke for under $2 or so.
I see it as a good thing that theaters charge so much for food and drinks. They need to make money. If they make it from people paying absurd amounts for popcorn that means that my cost is subsidized.
if they pull this off, we could have people safely living on the moon, and astronauts may not lose bone density with prolonged life in space.
Don't you think that's a bit trivial? The impact of the ability to manipulate gravity is enormous. Your comment reminds me of the guy who posted that he was looking forward to teleportation reducing his commute time.
Straw man. I would be surprised too, since it is unsupported Windows software, and it runs on Linux.
The original poster's implied point was that he could do what he needed to do using Linux, and yet he was surprised and delighted that he could. I was trying to make the point that having to hope that you can do what you need is not a solid defense of one's platform o' choice.
I mean seriously, did anyone out there actually BUY a new Intel mac counting on the rumors that it MIGHT be able to run windows sometime soon?
For me it's the other way around. I have a dual G5. I bought it when they first came out, with the expectation that I could go several years before buying a new one. But now because of circumstances I am occasionally in need of running Windows. So some time this year I'm going to have to buy a PC. But if I could run Windows on one, that'd be enough to get me to buy a new Mac instead. Without that, it'll be at least another year before I get one.
And I also imagine that there is a fairly large group of Windows users who, if they knew they could fall back to Windows if they wanted to, would buy a new Mac. But without that it's too big of a perceived risk.
I meant it the other way around. But what I was really trying (and failing) to do was use an absurdity to point out the fallaciousness of simply counting the updates to measure secureness.
I think this obsession with quarters is hurting the businesses....fall a few cents short of average analyst estimates and boom, the share price drops.
If you're not obsessed with quarters, then what do you care if the price drops? In the long run the price will reflect the proper value. Warren Buffet, for instance, doesn't care one whit about things like that.

So that's what, security through immaturity? (heh). Somebody writes the scripts the kiddies use. And some of those kiddies grow up.
Well of course not. But obviously it works for the theaters. So in this case, what I said holds.
"main: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `IV50'. VLC probably does not support this sound or video format."
Well, he was given that title. it's not like he just woke up one day and said "Ya know, I'm pretty cool. I'm going to start calling myself Sir Tim!"
Where else could a crater be?

He didn't. Not even close. Are you sorting by rating or by time?

Well sure. You have to marinate them first.

It seems to me that the fact that you are surprised when everything just works says quite a bit.
You seem to think that correlation rules out cause. By that logic, only uncorrelated events can cause things to happen. And that's just bizarre.

Shirley, you meant to write "to" there.
It's left over from when they bought it from Sybase. They never changed it. Intentionally, I presume.
Wow! That's big news if it's true. Why haven't we heard more about this?

Captain Renault: Major Strasser has been shot. Round up the usual suspects.
It seems like all they'd have to emulate is the BIOS. But how difficult that is, I dunno.
Don't try to tell me that the Cisco Kid and Pancho didn't have a little thing going on the side. "Oh, Cisco!" "Oh, Pancho!

So you're saying that, for instance, a person who had three colds last year is less healthy than a person who had cancer only once?
Say, I need some change. Would you mind giving me a twenty for these two fives here?
