Whoohooo! My work has come to fruitition. Back when I was still in high school (about 5 years ago now) my brother and I showed this german exchange student how to make potato guns since we had been making them for years and years. Since he couldn't get the proper parts in germany at the time, we shipped him supplies to make one. When he was done he brought it to his school (in germany) for a demonstration. They were even allowed to shoot it out the classroom window.
Actually the bernoulli effect contributes very little to the lift of an airplane. The real source of lift is something called the Coanda Effect http://humane.sourceforge.net/published/coanda_eff ect.html
In any case, the bernoulli effect contributes nothing to moving a plane FORWARD.
What I've always found is astonishing is my memory from when I was about 3. (I'm not 100% sure about this age but it was certainly not later than 3-4 years). I remember lying in a crib and my mom gave me a doll . I threw it out every time because I felt very strongly that dolls were only for girls and I didn't want my brother and sister to think I was a girl.
It always seemed weird to me how I could have feelings like that having never experienced taunting or anything of that sort.
didn't we just have a story about this a few days ago?

"Besides, I've used sid since gcc 2.9.5, and I've never had any problems with gcc migrations"
Thats because there haven't been any GCC migrations since 2.9.5. GCC 3.0, 3.1, and 3.11 all had serious bugs or would be obsolete within a few weeks so Debian didn't move to them (although they were available in the package tree).
Umm.. Hello?? That card is ancient. You can't base their current cards on some ancient piece of shit that they made once. Wah wah! Intel sucks cause the 386SX that i had didn't run Windows 95 worth shit! I'm never buying intel again!
"Next, I found out that the benchmarks I had looked at so long were for a tweaked set of drivers that ATI had released to get better scores on Quake"
I'm willing to bet that the hardware sites did make a note of that when they posted reviews.. Of course if you don't know how to read properly that wont help you.
I dont know why everyone bitches about the installer. Sure its not graphical but I find it pretty straightforward and I am a complete newbie. Every menu has a sensible explanation and anyone with a few brain cells can figure out how to use it.
I dont really understand why everyone puts so much importance on the installer.. You use it for maybe 1 hour and then have a working system for years if you want so who cares if the installer is not super nice looking?
I think most ppl just take one look and say "OMG! its not graphical. thats gay." and then they give up saying its too hard..
I wouldn't object to debian getting a nice modern graphical install but its really not important at all.
hehe.. ok it was just something I churned out in an attempt at FP. but I did actually read the article.. It was posted on OSNews before it was on slashdot..
actually I find that dreamweaver is much easier to use. And it actually generates very clean, readable, and compact HTML.
I've always liked their "Clean up MS Word HTML" function which will take an MS Word HTML file and clean out all the shit, reducing it to 1/4 of its size with no visible changes.
Yes, discharging huge capacitors = not good. I was replacing a big capacitor in an industrial wood planer (not sure what the capacitance was there but the thing was 15 x 8 cm) and accidentally touched the contacts.. OUCH. Way worse than sticking 2 wires into an outlet (which I've also done:P )
Exactly. even in windows it can be like that. In IE you can choose to show/hide any of the toolbars. So my parents accidentally hid one of them and then couldn't for the life of them figure out what happened and why they couldn't see their bookmarks anymore. Even with a minimal amount of configurability, regular desktop users can get confused.
I love being able to change every aspect of my desktop but I think there should be a global lockdown feature for Joe User which locks the current config and nothing can be accidentally changed around.
This just occurred to me. What if, instead of requiring a certain file system layout in every distro, why not just require that every distro has a config file or set of environmental variables that point to the locations?
So instead of forcing every distro to put config stuff in/etc or whatever, just get them to make a CONFIG variable that points to whatever folder they want to put the config files into.
This would of course require every software developer to rewrite their stuff to use the variables instead of the path but that wouldn't take all that much effort and it would be a hell of a lot easier than trying to force the distros to make a major change.
Would this idea work? I have only very little experience with linux but it seems like this would be a good solution.
grrr.. I was going to write a long rant about your idiocy but then again I think I shouldn't waste my time on trolls anymore. Whatever,/. asswipes are incurable anyway, so why bother.
I just can't bring myself to care even one little bit about people that get "addicted" to everquest and the like. If it turns kids into "computer crazed, game addicted losers" like you say then thats perfectly fine with me. Makes for more opportunities for those who can control themselves. Kinda like natural selection. I have absolutely no respect or compassion for those who allow themselves to be sucked into something that IS NOT PHYSICALLY ADDICTIVE. Yes I see how it could happen but anyone with an iota of sense can easily avoid it. And of course everyone wants to shove the blame on someone else. "aww, everquest ruined my life, I'm gonna sue." SHUT UP! If you can't take responsibility for your own actions and just want to leech off of others you might as well just jump off a cliff right now.
what the hell is up with that?? The reason I use Morpheus is because FastTrack is a better way of doing things than gnutella.. At least for those with limited bandwidth. I can't find anything on gnutella cause searches take forever and a day and all my meager bandwidth is used up by other connections!

Thats retarded. What if they were running linux (or BeOS or whatever)? Would it be impartial then?
:P
Maybe we should force them to not run any OS! Or boot them all back to C-64s or better yet, just take their computers away altogether.
What is with everyone's paranoia about hydrogen?
Its perfectly safe.. Think propane tanks and for how many different things they are safely used. This is the same thing.
"but.. but.. what about the hindenberg (sp?)? I mean that is totally unrelated to pressurized hydrogen containers but it blew up!"
complete and utterly unfounded fears like this are what is hindering the adoption of cool technologies like fuel cells.

I thought it was fairly well balanced actually. Outlined the problems of "hacking back" in language that everyone can understand...

Very good article. Basically sums up what I've been thinking.. I hope it all gets fixed soon!
