    you're 70?

  2. 1000 year life span == on Do You Want to Live Forever? · · Score: 1

    better stuartship of the planet, economy, and international relations.

    why? because the folks in power cannot just think in a mind set of "well I will be dead in 10/20/30/40 years... it doe snot matter to me."

  3. it is an insurence system folks!!!! on Mathematics of the Social Security "Crisis" · · Score: 1

    it insures the citizens and resident aliens that if they are incapable of taking care of themselves due to old age, lack of parents, or disability, then the government will give you money.

    we have retirement accounts already... anyone can invest in an IRA, and a 401k/403b is available to many.

  4. Re:price?? on Creative Gunning For the iPod · · Score: 1

    Apple provides a service... but people can et a battery from a 3rd party. so it is a non issue except for people who want to make it one... mainly those people exist in the 2% of the market that every other HD music player competes.

    I did read what you said... the problem is that you can not properly articulate what you want to say.

  6. Re:price?? on Creative Gunning For the iPod · · Score: 1

    do you have to purchase a warranty? and do you really think that 12 dollar replacement for a Li-Ion battery is sustainable if it is not warranty coverage?

    Apple replaces them for free while the iPod is under warranty. factory and extended.

    really this is a non issue because Li-Ion batteries have been going dead for a LONG time.

  7. Re:price?? on Creative Gunning For the iPod · · Score: 1

    last I checked, all batteries are provided by 3rd parties.

    umm... at the price ranges of the market.. people who have MP3 players have them... the market is growing slowly.

  15. Re:No Radio on iPod on Creative Gunning For the iPod · · Score: 2, Funny

    why are you spending all that money for a personal FM radio when you can spend 20 bucks or less for a good personal FM radio?

    if I wanted a radio I would have gotten one.

  16. Re:TI long in tooth? on Overclocking Calculators? · · Score: 1

    anything that is that interesting you would be using a computer for anyhow... the TI is meant for quick figures on small data sets..

  17. Re:TI long in tooth? on Overclocking Calculators? · · Score: 1

    because the 84 is meant for Linear algebra and Statistics... the 85 86 and 89 are meant for engineering tasks.

    as an example... use your 85/86 to calculate the standard deviation on percent of hispanic population per state in the US.

    I will be waiting for ever.

  18. Re:Very Pretty, but... on Apple iWork Screenshots · · Score: 1

    no... it is because Word Processors are simply fancy type writers... when will some one do what LYX has done but in a nicer package?

    Document processing makes writing a paper much easier and if some one could create a program that incorporated a bibtex system into it so one could insert citations with a menu item rather than having to drag a file from another program to a certain location and load it because any citation can be done, they would win many awards..... oh, and if they could do all this in a package that did not require one to separately install the tex tools that would be great as well.

  19. Re:XML? SVG? MathML? OOo? LaTeX? on Apple iWork Screenshots · · Score: 1

    MathML is a cumbersome clusterfuck.
