...making extremely hurtful comments about women with a medical condition?
Oh jeez. When are people going to learn that everyone has feelings? That everyone belongs to a minority, or has something wrong with them? That every single last person on the planet has had something embarrassing happen to them, or that someone has had reason to make fun of them before? I wish people would realize that we are all different, and humor is one way we point that out and embrace it.
I dread the day that there exists no more classes or races or genders or body types or social professions or.......

Besides, (yes, I'll be the one to say it), lose some weight. It's not THAT hard. I lost 80 pounds when I finally decided I was tired of being a fatty head.
Even more literally, 'time ghost.' But german is a language of compound words which often mean more than the sum of their parts. It's loosely interpreted here as used in colloquial terms.
And if you own the stock and don't want to sell it? Besides, if they wanna buy a flaming ship (stock price under.5 for several months) and shut it down, hey, great, cash for everyone, meetcha at Cheers in an hour.
Let's assume a rocket weighs 1000tons (I don't really know, I'm just guessing). The force to move it just to get it out of earths orbit would consume near 700 tons of fuel (70% of the fuel to a rocket is consumed in the first 11 minutes, and that's just to get out of orbit). 700 tons to move an average of 500 tons of rocket for 11 minutes.. A relatively small asteroid (that might be oh, say, the size of 4 to 5 football fields), which is probably the smallest we'd be concerned with, would weigh about 1.6 million tons. To push on it hard enough even to make it start spinning would take (by the calculations above) 1600000*700/500 or 2.2 million tons of fuel.. And that's just for 11 minutes of burn time without considering getting that much INTO space (did I mention the rocket would have to weigh far more than the asteroid?). Though, it does have valid upsides:
1) Usage of all available fuel, ever, makes cars instant antiques. No more 2 bucks a gallon fuel, that's for sure.
2) One large ass firecracker.
3) We could use redmond as a launching pad. That would probably sanitize the area nicely.
Version 5.0 of Microsoft's flagship spreadsheet program Excel came out in 1993. It was positively huge: it required a whole 15 megabytes of hard drive space. In those days we could still remember our first 20MB PC hard drives (around 1985) and so 15MB sure seemed like a lot.
By the time Excel 2000 came out, it required a whopping 146MB... almost a tenfold increase! Dang those sloppy Microsoft programmers, right?
Compare this to the average hard drive size available and you'll quickly discover the relative size of OS's is actually getting smaller as functionality increases.
Companies know very well that rebates are only followed through on by customers 5-15% of the time. Add in an unintentional chain of red tape and possibly an intentional denial the first time around, and I would imagine that only near 1% of rebates are actually filled.
Don't you remember the day of ISDN installations, with 200 dollar modems (with a 200 dollar rebate)? I wonder how many of those rebates went through...
A couple of posts have touched on the content but I spent quite a bit of time looking at all the pictures before reading the commentary here.. It's really a quite interesting set of 'questions' to the intended recipient, I was a little giddy with myself for seeing the answer at the end (I guess this is the facet of my personality that makes me a programmer).
They start out with a simple definition of symbols, the symbol at the top of each page represents what 'state' of the transmission we are in, or what that pages info contains. The first symbol:
xxxxx
xx
x
x
x xxx
x x
x x
Represents an introduction, a primer, if you will. The most interesting symbol on those pages is the 'what is' symbol, shaped roughly like a flower. They introduce some simple math then use that symbol to make the following statements (I've drawn the what is symbol as a %):
%_ _+2=3 _=2
%_ _+4=10 _=6
and so on.. clear to see that the _ is an abstraction for 'x'. Later on down the page they use:
3
%x _=x
And they draw a picture of a cubic graph. The _ in this case is very similar to the x above, hinting that it is also a variable. In this case, y. I digress a bit. The most interesting symbol is the flower (what-is), for reasons I'll get to in a moment. In the sections that follow, we get information about ourselves:
xxxxx
xxx
x
x
xxx x
x x
xxxxx
Including that symbol on a picture of our solar system in the spot for earth, that symbol in a model of the earth and moon, that symbol with a various arrows to show which way we spin and how long that revolution takes, symbols for elevation, the highest and lowest points on the earth (-11000m and 8848m), our size (about 1.5m), common molecules that appear in nature (my chem is terrible so I couldn't decode these, but I'm assuming they are common carbon based molecules), a basic picture of a cell and dna replication, and a picture of our earth.
The best part though is that we introduced a new symbol for each of these 'measurements' with the 'we are' symbol I drew above. Paging through to the <a href="http://www.matessa.org/~mike/dutil/p23.html" >last page</a>, you'll notice a lot of the 'what-is' symbols next to all the symbols for our measurements of ourselves, along with a big what is symbol:
x x x
xxxxx
xxxxx
x
xxxxx
x
x
... essentially asking, what are you? I got goosebumps, and I wait for the day where we get the incoming message with a symbol of their own introduced, for 'we are.':)

HTML could be considered data, or 'content.' Scripts can also be considered content. The line blurs when you have content that does different things, and as we certainly know, there are $oMe programs which don't handle this data very well.
Sometimes it's not the big problems that are the tough ones to solve, albeit the plumbing down below. Writing a sorting algorithm, or a function that will be called several billion times and needs to be fast, or any of a countless number of utilities every application needs; these can't be solved with flowcharts and object models, they can only be tackled with good hard thinking.

Maybe those Alabama folk weren't so far of with the proposed legislation changing pi to 3.0.

Just never truly won. You overlooked the fact that the "fake" or "free" rooms in online casinos use grossly different odds to lure people in.

Most likely not.. They'd just buy the hard drive space then. Point is, if you already have it and aren't using it....
