At one point it highschool I was so adept at typing on my TI-85 that I abhored the thought of using my qwerty keyboard at home to type on. Back in that day I was a quite the whiz at t-basic (great place to put notes for your math test and program algebra equations):)
I have always been happy with Comcast's downstream bandwidth which is constantly increasing it seems, but upstream is another matter. I am rated at 256k and I have barely ever even reached that, and it seems to be getting worse.
In response to your sig, I don't think the statement is exactly true. As soon as I observe the sig, all quantum behavior will cease and the only possible outcome will be the sig I have read. In order to have a sig that was truly random it would need to be completely unobservable and unmeasureable. Or maybe I'm just crazy here.
So what you are saying is that this "Moon Illusion" is simply an occipital lobe processing error? Makes sense to me, there are obviously intances where our brain is incapable of properly processing information. This was the first hit on google. I recommend trying the full tour, its neat stuff.
I tried you mod. It turned my juice box into an unidentified crystaline structure that seems to refract light as well as take on the color of my juice. Where is this "slushy" you spoke of?
Ok, so what you are saying is the two bodies which are as massive as the brown dwarf/planet, are very near to each other, and co-moving, and yet the gravitational forces of said bodies are not sufficient enough to warp spacetime sufficiently to effect the orbit of the other body?
My guess would be that by "bigger" they actually mean more massive. There should be a critical mass, where the weight of the planets mass creates so much pressure that at the center, the electromagnetic force is overcome and fusion begins. My guess would be that if this planet is 5x the size of jupiter and is not a sun then it would probably be about 1/5 the density, so that its overall mass would still not be sufficient to crate the forces necessary at its center for the fusion process to begin. Remember, Jupiter has a very low density, I have often heard that the planet as a whole is less dense than water, and would therefore float!!!! (try finding a big enough body of water for that experiment).
Hmm, all jokes aside, if you ignore the programming aspect and just look at Excel feature-wise it is by far the best general purpose spreadsheet program out there (or at least that I have used and I've used quite a few) and the Only MS app I can't live without. As an Analyst, a good portion of my day is spent with Excel sheets and it rarely annoys me like the rest of the programs I use daily at work (Lotus Notes and Powerpoint I hate you sooo much).
This is not true, there are quite a few hard drive manufacturers producing 7200RPM laptop drives now. Like this one for instance hope slashdot doesn't mange the links. There are a few, hitiachi just happened to be the one that came to mind when I read your post.

GCC 4.0.0 Released

· Score: 1
So to the lay C coder, does this mean executables compiled with GCC 4 and optimized properly will run faster? use less memory? be less prone to errors???
Well yes, it seems simple to us, but for others it seems very, very difficult. Although its interesting that those who believe in the afterlife and relegious spirituality are often the very same who are so unwilling to leave this life even in the worst of conditions.
Actually there is at least a 50% chance that existance in a cognative sense completely ceases at the time of death. IMHO there is a 100% chance but I'll have to conceed that there is no way to test it (Flatliners anyone?). Anyhow, this would mean that we can't *know* for sure after we die in many cases becuase the idea of knowing or thought will simply cease to occur. I truly feel that people only believe in life after death because they cannot concieve of their own non-existance.
or you could simply insret a non-optonal line in all edited postss stating the that time of each update and the total numbers of updates. This way people could correct gross speeling and errors gramatical. Then if someone complains about a post that been edited, you are aware ov it and u do'nt end jup with posts that read like this one:)
Forking drivers most likely won't happen. The reason software forks is often because developers decide that they all want the project to move in a different direction. With drivers there is not much choice as to the direction of the software, as it can only have one purpose and that is to support all the features of the hardware at the best speed and quality.
Thanks for pointing that out, I think I was a little unclear about exactly how integral a part of ubuntu the universe is. I had previously been under the impression that it was just a frozen set of debian sid packages.
Actually I think what you are experiencing is exactly the nature of this discussion. I assume you are using the marillat packages, which are the most popular unofficial debian mplayer packages. I have heard that these packages are incompatible with Ubuntu, and I don't think there will be mplayer official packages in ubuntu due to license issues.
They probably would not move, because ubuntu only focuses on having a cohesive desktop. Many of the people who maintain packages that would be outside the distro in universe would most likely not want to put a ton of work into a distro that does not consider them part of the official distribution. br>-kaplanfx

What makes me worry the most is the fact that lately most conflicts in this world are related to such extremists
