  1. Re:Gnome / KDE infuence on New Longhorn Screenshots Leaked · · Score: 2, Interesting

    And enlightenment.

    I would say that Microsoft has been paying attention to Apple as well as the Gnome and KDE. If they "innovate" some ideas from all four projects they won't be copying anybody.....

    right?

    "we can provide something the world really needs. ...like a monkey with five asses!"

    Monkey: George Bush
    Ass #1 -- Donald Rumsfeld
    Ass #2 -- John Aschcroft
    Ass #3 -- Tom Ridge
    Ass #4 -- Dick Cheney

    There are actually a bunch more asses than this but here is five.

    "I for one want a leader with the balls to stand up for what s/he thinks is right."

    It would be nice if "what s/he thinks is right" had ANYTHING to do with reality. In our case, we (USA) are fscked. I feel sorry for the Brits too.

  5. Re:What's the rush? on The Future of Science Revealed! · · Score: 1

    It gets even better...

    We, as a race of people, may have a few million years left. As Americans, we may have only few hundred left. As individuals only a few years left.

    Kind of makes a possibly changing
    "fine structure constant" irrelevant.

    Got to go... "All my Children" is coming on.

  6. Well, screw it then.... on The Future of Science Revealed! · · Score: 1

    If the universe is going to die, why bother studying it at all? Just when I get it figured out it will be a bit too late.
    I think I will go back to poetry or something..

  9. It would make for a great cinema effect on Walk-thru Fog Screen · · Score: 5, Interesting


    I am not really sure what display use it has in the "real world" but it would make a great cinematic effect.

    Also you could scare folks in amusement park rides making them think they are about to crash into stuff.

    You could also hide behind it and spy on people maybe...

    Who knows...

    Lets see. Bill was worth about 50,000,000,000 dollars at this time too..

  11. Who got the script to the Matrix Revolution? on Real Money Inside in MMORPGs? · · Score: 1

    I get the funny feeling that this blurring of reality and games is what the last Matrix will be.

  16. Missing Universe == Missing Brain on Search for the Missing Universe · · Score: 1


    Omega just has to be one, eh?

    AND that girl at the end of the bar likes me.

    Oh, and there has to be something more that this, right? Some kind of afterlife.

    And Microsoft is going to see the light and open up their code.

    And someday music will once again come from a garage instead of from a Fox television show.

    The only "Wimps" are the folks who can't concieve a Universe that will end in the horrible "cold death" of infinite expansion. This is what all the evidence leads to.

    I was in the Air Force for seven years. The most vocal folks are very republican however the vote still splits about even. There is a larger percentage of minorities, AND believe it or not a larger percentage of Gay and Lesbians than people would think.
