You're in Blockbuster, right? Odds are you're going to be renting a video. It doesn't matter to them which video you rent, just that you rent a video, so they'll let the customer rent the good video.
Anyway, sites like Amazon.com do give you customer reviews, which are relatively unbiased.
The whole point of the "plastics" line was that plastics represent the artificiality of adult life. If nanotubes are made of carbon, then they're not artificial enough!
To increase the likelyhood of a collision, we could use a 160-bit hash, like SHA1 or RIPEMD160. It might add a bit to the calculation time, but it would be less likely to collide.
A true nihilist would say "fuck everybody else" rather than "our only real duty in life is to increase the amount of joy experienced by others." To me, this doesn't sound nihilist at all.
Not really. The problem here is that Sequent made modifications to Sys V, and even though all of the code used in Linux was created by Sequent, not already in Sys V, SCO feels that it should be theirs. Basically, if I make a modification in a GPL'd program to which I don't own the copyright, should I be able to use code that I put into that program (but none of the code that was already there) in non-GPL'd works. I think we want the answer to be "yes." Another similar question is, if I use code my proprietary product, and then contribute some of it to a GPL'd product, is it still legal for me to use it in my other product. I think, however, that the GPL makes it clear that modifications are owned by those who create them, so all this may be completely irrelevant to the GPL.
Personally, I feel that women deserve both the same rights and the same responsibilities as men. One of those responsibilities is courtesy. Unless someone has shown themselves to be unintelligent, don't accuse them of it. It's not too hard. If you think I called you a "pretentious jerk," you misunderstood. I said you were acting like a pretentious jerk. You may or may not be a pretentious jerk, but from what I've read of your comments you certainly act like one.
It's a fallacy of relevance if you think whether I post anonymously or not has any bearing here. There's a name for it. It's called an argumentum ad hominem.
Posting from my real username, if that makes any difference. I have karma to burn.
Microsoft is not paranoid of open source, just anything GPL'd. If you read the documentation that comes with Windows, you'll discover that Microsoft uses some BSD licensed code in Windows (see more).
However, I'd be very surprised if Microsoft used anything from Linux, considering it's actually legal and therefore far more tempting to use something from the BSDs, and there are not many features Linux has but the BSDs lack.
I think when you say one platform is better than another, there is an implied "for the things for which a typical user would use it." It's irrelevant for you to talk about how they both "suck at running on your old C-64" simply because we're talking about the the platforms, not the operating systems. That's implied. I'm sorry if you didn't get that.
If you said, "Hop on Pop is a less important literary work than Romeo and Juliet," I sincerely doubt many people would disagree with you. It's an opinionated statement, but one rooted in fact and experience. No one would ask "less important for what?" or point out that "a book is just several sheets of paper containing marks necessary for the reader to understand a story." That would be ridiculous. So why are you trying to apply the same fallacious argument to PC vs. Mac?
You could try SSTP...it's a generalized layout engine written in PHP. It's very simple to work with, since it's designed for retrofitting a previous website with a layout. Just generate a simple HTML page and run it through the SSTP interpreter, which will apply the template and everything. It's not as fast as I'd like, but it works well and it has a cache if you want it.
And if you discount "Mac OS X is better than Windows" what are those reasons? I'm a Mac user myself, and I'm not afraid to admit Macs are (at least currently) significantly slower than PCs at most common tasks. The truth is, however, that Mac OS X is a far better operating system than Microsoft or anyone else ever put out. My server runs Linux, but I'd never think of running it on my desktop, simply because asthetics are a major concern of mine and inconsistency is simply annoying.
I think that Apple would indeed lower prices if they sold more, simply because R&D would be lower per machine. The cost difference might be negligable compared to what the original poster was thinking (I'd guess $50-$100) but there would be some. Remember, even if you have 20% market share, you still want to sell as many machines as you can while keeping a good profit margin.
I didn't use a program to learn to type. I started with hunt and peck and eventually the way I type became the way I type now. I think it's possible that I type the way I do because I'm used to keyboard shortcuts, and on my first keyboard there were no right control/alt/etc. keys.
I'm right handed and I use the left thumb, so perhaps. I just realized that I use all of the fingers on my left hand and only my index finger on my right hand. Why do I use my non-dominant hand so much more than my dominant hand? I suppose I'll never know.
The "brain in a jar" theory not only has legs, I'm nearly certain it's true. Your body is the jar. Your body certainly distorts the world through your evolved emotions, and probably through your senses as well. Even if you see the real world to some extent, you don't completely see it.
I remember a Philip K. Dick story where there was a man kept in a fake world, playing a newspaper contest to try to figure out where the enemy would bomb next in an interstellar war. Perhaps our body is like that. Perhaps the objects we see bear a resemblance to real-life objects, but they're simplified for ease of computation.
Wait a minute here...why would we have to simulate all that? All we need to simulate is what goes into the brain. A picture of something doesn't go into the brain. If you draw a skill life without having learned how, it won't look anything like the real world. You're brain's not actually perceiving everything; not everything would need simulation. You can simulate things at higher levels than the basic tactile, visual, and auditory, and you'd need even less power, although the programming expertise required would grow and grow.

In real life, she was only about five years older. (Yes, I'm too much of a movie geek.)

For those of you who don't realize it, this post seems to reference this troll, which has been appearing all over the place.
Oh, which part don't you use?
Ah, sorry, I got misled by the address posted earlier in this discussion. I'm not in Utah either. Anyone who is?
Anyone care to set up an smart mob at SCO's headquarters? (I'm not in San Francisco, so there's not much I can do.)

Tried WebDAV? Using WebDAV properties it may already be possible to do what you're trying without any new server software, just new properties.

Here's what you're looking for...microkernel Linux. Sorry, I couldn't fine any screenshots.

Pathogen, not just virus. Sorry.

Not just fatal, it is the only disease on Earth that is 100% fatal. The Ebola virus (specifically, Ebola Zaire) is the second most lethal, after it.
I didn't know you could by fruit from machines in England...
