"a warm spring breeze" is 4. A "warm spring breeze," when you take *a* into account isn't 3 syllables either - its simply a warm spring breeze, which is a thing. Don't dismiss that "a," if you're going to let it count as a syllable.
you'd have been better off with "just like a spring breeze"
perhaps you meant 1 visitor per second? Because 1 per minute would only be 24*60...
That, and 1 per minute would be a fairly slow site.
Having said both, there's ways around this, as far as for hotmail/yahoo/etc. Instead of asking you to enter text, do it like Kings of Chaos used to. Now, they put the answers in a sequential row - they used to mix the answers around. If 1-15 aren't in that order, its a bit harder. Esp if you combine the two - make the answer grid a captcha all of its own. I better not say this too loud though, or amazon will patent it:P
And yes - that's my recruit link - don't click it if you don't want to:P I'm giving it so you can actually SEE what I'm talking about, instead of sending people to the main page (which would have been useless). They stopped randomizing the order I guess because people were getting confused??? Too bad for them, I say.
" this Ukrainian jewel, as well as many Soviet cars did not make it to the Forbes article."
Those wouldn't be exclusive lists...you could have saved the improper usage of "as well as" by the subsequent use of the word "other," but...you didn't. You are aware that the Ukraine was a Soviet republic, right?
This, and the fact that there were non-US cars on the list. Did the submitter bother to read the article?
We're looking at a future where only the very largest companies will be able to implement software, and it will technically be illegal for other people to do so
A decade ago (when it would have been easier for me than now), I was hesitant to go into music. The reason? I felt like there were only so many notes, so many rythms...and that every song of merit that could be written already had been.
Fortunately, I was wrong.
There will still be new ways of doing things. New languages, new platforms, new audiences, new ways at solving the same old problems.
Had Linux not come along, we'd be in MS world right now - UNIX owes it's life to Linux at this point (Linux kept it relevant). Point being is that it did. Everything that is "obvious" as a solution nowadays was radical, or even considered impossible, not that long ago. So what will be the solutions of the future? If I knew, and then told you, you'd probably either laugh, or think me insane.
The circle of life - the world is funny that way - Why? No one knows. Its magic. Yummy.
And really, if that's not humour, what is. I imagine somewhere someone hacked the website just to kill that one page. That someone is a cool person, no matter what any of you think. They have my vote, at least.
I'm composing this all with links to the 404 in question simply because 99% of/.'ers are too lazy to follow links. Feel free to mod down for redundancy anyway.
there's also people like me, who got tired of buying expansions, and are tired of the current system of people who have been playing for years and control all the important areas in the game. Many months ago, I moved. For a month, I was restricted to dialup - so I temporarily suspended my EQ account. I never re-did it, because I was just going to wait for EQ2...
A long time ago, the EQ2 FAQ said that EQ2 would be out Q32003. Then, it said Q42003. Then it said Q12004.
Now, it simply says: n will EverQuest II be released? EverQuest II will launch in 2004.
I know that EQ2 will arrive eventually, but it definately fits in the group of "all those eagerly anticipated gizmos in 2003 that were put off, put away or quietly put down."
Isn't EQ a big game, relative to anyone that would be playing Duke Nukem, even if it had come out?
I recently read about MSN taking over from google as the top referer for web sites...and that it is one of the most hit sites on the web as well.
What irks me is that so many people leave MSN as their default IE home page. At that point laziness kicks in for many of them, and they just search from what IE brought up automatically. A vast portion of MSN's hits and refers come from this simple explanation.
reading these posts, there are two questions that have REALLY obvious answers. I'll give them anyway, since they seem to be stumping so many people.
cds: its just policy. One can make a burned cd look pressed if they really want to. Instead of wasting time inspecting each cd, just take them all. Fairly simple.
why he told friends: Some may be students, who have their school work on their systems, but won't see those systems for years if they get taken. Some may be have files of business importance - perhaps they were writing a program for a company, perhaps they have an extensive cvs repository sitting on a server. Perhaps its just business contacts, or hell - email archives.
There are a LOT of things that will screw up your life for months, if not years, if you suddenly lose it. Keep in mind that while you may make backups, those backups will be taken as well. Offsite backups even will be, if they know about them (which more and more lately, they will know).
Think about what would happen if all of your computers, backups, media, and etc all disappeared in an instant. If you're 100% innocent, it will still take a couple of years to get things back. In our tech-dependent world, that's a long time to be in hell for no reason.

"The American infidels have played right into Saddam's plans by taking him into their bases. They are now off-guard, and soon they will be removed from the outskirts of Bagdad, where they are still held at bay."
Although in the article, they mainly focus on Texas, it's pretty clear that the whole system is being gamed and gamed hardest by the Republicans.
No, what is pretty clear is that this article was written by a very biased individual, intending to paint republicans, esp those from Texas (hmm...wonder what republican is from Texas..) as evil, petty people. The reality is that this has been going on for a long time, and that it is done by both sides. The article doesn't say that, because its author has a political agenda.

the guy said "30,000km/s," which is in fact 1/10 of 300,000lm/s.
I said 30,000km/s was 1/10 the speed of light. I didn't say 30,000km/h was. Re-read.

that you could see. with detail, the body coming pretty much meant that the relative speed differential wasn't 30,000km/s. Or even 30,000km/h. Or even 300km/h. Ever seen a car drive towards you at 300km/h? Even without flalling arms, even with sharp, slick edges, its more blurry than that body was.
Just because something is in space doesn't mean that its relative speed to you is instantly 1/10 the speed of light - you realize that you're just one zero away, right? Additionally, just because you're in space and you hit something, doesn't mean your relative speed was all that high. I mean, if your relative speed is 1m/h different, and you're only 1m away...well, in 1h, you'll hit it.

Does no one notice the "red hat" is a red fedora? HELLO? The choice of name was not arbitrary. No, they could not have just called themselves "pink sunglasses."
I dislike Fedora as much as the next guy (meaning the distro) but geeze...
Take a look here. Scroll down, and there you'll see...wait, what is that...its a Fedora! Its red! Its the same damn hat that's been in the RH logo for years (not the original, mind you, but for a lot longer than 1998 anyway).
Regardless, if the fedora.info project has it trademarked, then they do. But it was NOT an arbitrary choice, people. yeesh.

IRIX?
Solaris?
When/where do you need these OS's anymore?
AIX: too many uses to list - most notably, on their larger servers. Also, when you want 5 9's or better.
IRIX: good question ;)
Solaris: Solaris is still *leagues* better than linux, for nearly anything. Large database servers, for example. Sun E15k's. Etc.
...even if it is buried in the latest M$ offering ;)
We do NOT want the alternative, because it would be a hassle for anyone that wants to embed linux. We don't want to disuade them, do we?
