Yep, but it's one of those plays where you'll get more enjoyment from reading the script (the book I assume the grandparent referred to) than watching the actual play. It just takes more thought than possible in the time provided between punch lines.
Oh, and CmdrTaco spelled guildenstern wrong, of course.
The parent is correct, but should be revised to say "is thought to form only in bodies of standing water." I promise we'll hear lots of arguments about that very issue in the next couple of weeks.
Mightn't the fact that we judge him to sound crazy have quite a bit to do with the total lack of evidence and fact?
As a trivial example, this article presents no evidence or fact that RFID is at all involved, but is instead portrayed that way to mislead others. For those not quite so easily mislead, the author sounds like a nut job.
Have you priced a Power5 recently? Even just silicon cost, ignoring markup? Significantly higher than the $300 price tag the XBox 2 may have, for a single chip.
You can save space by removing punction, such as '.', arbitrarily. You can also save storing a bit if you just don't capitalize stuff. These savings are offset, though, my scattering random characters such as ')' through your files... It's a tradeoff.
Okay, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. The fact that I don't agree with you, then, probably means I'm misunderstanding you. Your original example was that our estimate of half lives may be invalid because of small sample size, yes? However, we've looked at samples on the order of 10^25 atoms, at least... probably 10^30 for uranium and carbon. These are not small samples. The other possibility is that our estimate is exactly correct, but that half life is dependent upon some external factor, which has not changed during our time of study but changes frequently elsewhere. This is, as far as I can tell, entirely unsupported by any evidence at all, nor is there any suggested mechanism for how it migth occur; therefore, it is actually less possible than the idea of gravity changing rapidly with distance, for at least proposals have been made that suggest that, although they are far from widely supported.
And this article (that the buttons do nothing) is extremely common knowledge. My parents told me when I was about six, and I got the sense their parents did the same for them.
Okay. So you agree with him. What are you agreeing with? What possible law can you imagine that would provide any benefit at all, without totally destroying the web? Please, I do want to know.
Wow... that's gone up. In any case, find a local copy shop that does it cheaper; or, if that's too hard, the tradeoff to a one-time $50 investment juts comes earlier.
Okay, what's this hypothetical law you're supporting. "It is illegal to use a word that someone else may use, if they may not want to see your site"? Or is it "You cannot use a word on your site unless you have a well-considered topical essay on the subject indicated by that word"? Or is it "As the author of a site, you are responsible for how third party software decides to present your URL"? Please do clarify, I'm quite curious.
You are, I suppose, technically correct. It may be nothing but a statistical anomaly. Have you actually, uh, studied statistics? It's pretty easy to figure out the probability of that. It is equally probably that what we observe as gravity is merely a coincidence of random motion, and that the whole solar system go back to it's expected behavior and dissipate into a fine myst tomorrow.
How much are you faxing? Kinkos and the equivalent will fax for about 20 cents a page... so you can do 100 pages a month for $20. If you're faxing more than that -- and I can't imagine why, these days -- why not just get a cell phone with a fax port? From your message, I assume you already have a cell phone; a $50 one time investment (these phones are pretty cheap on ebay and such; they're generally pretty old) and no additional monthly fee seems pretty good.
The guy you lent the car to ran the toll gates? Gee, maybe you should think about whom you lend your car to, shouldn't you?
How is this at all relevent? So I lend it to a person who then decides to put small children in a blender for lunch... I still haven't commited a crime. I certainly haven't commited a crime of driving through a toll without paying, if I wasn't at the time driving. If there is a law on the books saying you can be fined if yourself, an acquaintance, or an acquaintance of an acquaintance goes through a toll without paying, that's a different issue.
Again, it all depends on what your goals are. Flash makes a pretty poor journaling device, do to it's limited write count, and battery-backed ram is only useful for journaling if you really, really trust that battery. My goals could not be accomplished with any not-solid-state disk, so I made the choice I did.
Nope, I'm limiting myself because of design decisions in my software (the decision being that command line arguments can be parsed by crt0, in a common manner, rather than having each application support it's own arbitrary grammar), and I'm saying 'this why I don't like spaces in file names'.... what the heck does morality have to do with anything? I'd just rather main take a char** than a char*.
And what the heck does XDnD have to do with anything? What made you think I'm using X?

It seems a lot closer to VMWare ESX than VMWare workstation, from the quick blurb.
It may not be obvious to you, but it's obvious to most of us who took highschool math. Certainly those of us who graduated.
Ooh, a troll of the "I know something, and I'm going to say it even though it's not relevant" variety.
The grandparent is correct, and on topic. You are correct, but entirely off topic, misleadingly so. Go away.
No idea. I know my first nynex-branded car phone had it, though, and that must have been around '92 or so.
Use a directional microphone.

Power5 != G5.
Thanks.
Okay, how can I get a written license for the patented technology included in this video codec?

We obey laws, just not silly ones.

Go to a retirement home?

What has our justice system come to when a valid reason for an outrageous sentence is "that's okay, we don't enforce sentences anyway"?

Maybe missionaries come by, and try to save you from your sinful lifestyle
Hey, don't insult missionaries. They're good. Especially with cheese and salsa.
