Hmm, yes, it's only a theory, probably the best but have they had any major breakthroughs with the observational data in the last few years? I'm just interested to know.
Why do they assume that quasars and black holes are one and the same thing? I know there are theories about the "power source" of quasars being not larger than a certain size because their luminosity varies with a certain period, so the speed of light limits the size etc. In the last few years, what new findings have their been?
Sorry, I only got as far as the statement from the geek witch-hunters that said depression was a bad sign to look out for.
It is, becasue it means that person is ill, but just because someone is ill, doesn't mean they are "evil" or killers or whatever.
That statement by those people is just another symptom of an unthinking, uncaring, hostile, selfish and ignorant society.
In many cases, the depression may even be caused by the taunts, hatred, ridicule and constant harrassment of the conformist, "righteous", short-haired ignorant masses, and all to frequently it can lead to self-harm and ultimately suicide.
Here in the UK there have been many cases of young children, some as young as eight years old, who have been hounded, ridiculed and physically abused for their intelligence and sesitivity, who have comitted suicide in the last few years.
It just goes to show how the mob mentality and human nature work combined with the ignorance, intolerance and lack of will to think of the masses.
Hopefully something good will come out of this pointless, shameful and dreadful waste of young life.
The same thing has been perplexing me for years. When I were a lad learning German at school, the German's being logical refer to colelctive things like a company etc. as a single entity, as do the Americans in American English, but here in blighty we use the singular noun but use it as if it were plural. That's how it's done here, and as usual we're wrong and everyone lese is right. American English is much more logical than UK English, and its spelling is much simpler and less baroque. The only reason we deride the Americans for their language is out of purely ignorant self-righteous, snobby self-superior nationalistic jingoism.
It's time to leave when you're 21 years old, fresh out of university, given the job of 3 people with PhD's, forced to work on something that can't work (laws of physics etc), no one listens to you and you're told you will be a millionaire in two years time.
On the reliability side of things regarding NT (sorry, this is a BIG bee in my bonnet)
We have a Tolken Ringpiece network with OS pooh Lan Server, soon to be replaced by NT.
At our site where the NT "upgrade" to the networ has been implemented, nothing works. No one can log on to the network. Never mind, Nt is the "next big thing"
My point? Don't spend all day in the pub and go on slashdot..... but seriously, what planet are these people on, touting NT's "reliability"? The ATM at one of the bank branches here runs NT and it crashed a couple of weekends ago. I took pictures:) It was dead funny. I'll get them scanned for you all to see.
Well, I remember Microway used to do a transputer card for the jolly old PC that would give you a MegaFLOP, and you could have multiple ones, I think. They did compilers.
Those were the days. I was still on a Spectrum 128 with a Microdrive in those days...
The first is the "mind seeing what it wants to see" mode, where it completely rearranges letters and words (making false connections between data) to make completely false sentences and statements.
Sencond is "just seeing words and not taking in any meaning at all", where, under stress, the mind just sees a series of words, devoid of meaning, but in order.
Thirdly, in an unstressed, unflustered state, the words are seen in the correct order, with the correct spelling,, in the right context and it makes sense.
Any psychologists/liguists out there care to comment?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please CHANGE YOUR RECORDS! You Septics wouldn't know what a Commie was if it jumped up and bit you on the behind! Give it a rest and GROW UP!!!!!
Well, the Iron Lady shouted and dictated till even the most dedicated fasci^H^H^H^H^Hconservatives saw through her, so no one could really keep up the pretence. John Redwood had a go for party leader, but there just weren't that many hard-liners left.
Now we have Tory Plan B led by the ex-thatcherite Tony Blair:-)
Maybe they _did_ win after all!
.. and as for the House of Lords with it's in-builtd bias...
Well, jolly old RMS gets my recognition, for what it's worth.
Anyone with half a clue knows what GNU is and what Linux is. RMS shouldn't feel so bitter, because there are those out there who recognise him and are grateful.
The mass media and the Great Unwashed are traditionally good at taking a name, word, phrase or buzzword and applying it to a different meaning, and brainwashing the masses.
I fully intend to live long enough to be a cantankerous old git with a walking stick and an attitude, ranting at the young telling them how it used to be in the good old days when RMS freed software and a young chap called Linus Torvalds made an OS kernel that toppled the great evil dictatorship etc., about prejudice...
blah blah blah.
Stallman, your name is already in tablets of stone. In centuries to come you will be remebmbered as the man who had the courage to stand out from the crowd, think differently, and change the course of human civilisation.
You may think these coments are glib and ironic, but they are not.
Firstly, I've just found 20 pence in my washing machine. Such ecstacy! 25% of fizzy water in my local pub!
Secondly, call me a mad hippy, but this free software meets the suits phenomenon could have wider, positive social implications, rather than negative ones on Linux etc.
Just think of the possibilities as the blinkered, prejudiced igroant masses that make up capitalist society have their eyes opened!
There will be a positive step-change in the state of western society, a dramatic advance over night.
Well, that's what the Great Unwashed will experience.
Our economies will mushroom, productivity will boom, technology will leap forward.

Yes, and in Disney, mice can talk.
;-)
In the last few months (ie not more than 6 months ago) a computer journalist asked uncle Clive what he thought of Linux.
He had never even heard of it.
*sigh*
BTW my ZX81 has a multi-tasking FORTH ROM in it.
8K ROM, 16K RAM and multitasking! In 1983!
What did IBM have in those days...
Well, in my day, we didn't have x86, we 'ad Hovis, and granddad always did say it were a bloody long way to go for 256k bits of RAM

I'll do that now! Great idea!

All very well, but will it do a cheese-free pizza for those of us who are allergic?
Some of us pronounce "new" as "nyou".

I find that there are some modes to reading.
The first is the "mind seeing what it wants to see" mode, where it completely rearranges letters and words (making false connections between data) to make completely false sentences and statements.

Surely you jest?
Are you one of these lucky people who lives a 25-hour 8-day week?
That modem looks like a Sinclair ZX80
... what about a "how to do art for the terminally untallented?"
Then we can concentrate on how to use the software

It's called "negativie campaigning"
It lost the British Conservative Party the last General Election.
