Bill Gates may or may not be the anti-Christ to you but lets get real he would be worth a lot more the 50 ish billion he has now if he hadn't given like 27 billion to charity in total more then a third of his wealth in total he has given to charity I strive to tithe 1/10th of my income and don't always get there (poor collage student) he has gotten over a 1/3 of his so lay off.
And this may just be me but if I was going to upgrade me email server I would put Spam blocking software on them. So I wouldn't turn of my email server till I found out if the there is now anti Spam software on this guys servers cause lets face it two days of bouncing isn't going to purge you from that many lists.
about the geodesic dome homes what do you mean roofing cost three times as much all the domes I have looked at we all made of the same thing foam covered with concrete and held together with portland cement
You can argue patents all you want but in order for the pharmaceutical industry to function the intellectual property right of drug research companies most be sacrosanct. Billions of dollars are spent every year on pharmaceutical research and if the is no return on investment then there won't be billions of dollars to spend next year. I realize that there are government grants but that is not were most of the money to fund research comes from most if it comes from the money made from the previous successful drug. I know it sounds cruel to say you can't make this drug because you can't afford the patent rights but its better then having there be no drug research at all.
I truly wish that every one would research the issues and vote. I realize this isn't going to happen and that being true, I only want those who learn the issues and vote there conscious weather or not it is in line with mine to vote so I don't think we should make it to easy to vote and computerized voting is defiantly making it to easy. I don't even like motor voter registration like they have in my state. If you are not willing to go to town hall to register to vote then you certainly aren't going to make informed decisions about the candidates and issues.
Politics, at its core, is the study of the philosophy of ethics.
Ethics is a sub set of philosophy to say that something is the philosophy of ethics is nonsensical its like saying that something is the rectangle of square. A thing cannot be something that it is a subset of.
from the site: What is the battery life of the OQO ultra-personal computer? OQO specified the device to maximize battery life for the complete range of PC applications. For office and email applications, the OQO ultra-personal computer has a battery life of 8 hours. For MPEG movies the average battery life is 2 hours. For MP3 music the battery life is 7 hours. The OQO device has a standby battery life of over a week.
God bless the technology we are blessed with I am sitting in the lab after hours watching the collapse of a multi-billion dollar company real time on the net. I love it any way time to go the popcorn is done.
Most good monitors have a refresh rate of around 85 hertz the best one I have ever seen was 120 hertz. The NVIDIA TI4600 is capable of 150 fps. Why do I care about those extra 30- 65 fps? What am I missing it seems pointless to have the vid card generate frames quicker then my monitor can show then. On that logic I would want the card with the nicest picture with a sync rate = to my monitor right?
Alright this does sound fascinating and all but fiber is already really expensive and so are filters for breaking down the transmission into it's composite "colors" but it seems to me that it wouldn't take much run of this new and presumably much more expensive fiber to pay for the filters.
Correct me if I am wrong but isn't this listed somewhere as a sign of the apocalypse being upon us? War, Famine, Pestilence and Microsoft in bed with the government.
I saw "The One" I thought it was pretty good but not as good as it could have been. FYI the.38 and the.357 fire the same size projectile with different casings the.357 having a lot larger powder charge typically. The 9 mm projectile is only a tiny bit smaller then (less then a millimeter) smaller then that of the.38 and.357. So in actuality the.357 rounds are more massive and have a higher muzzle velocity then 9mm if you are firing rounds of similar shape. And because hallow points = fun that's why more people use them
Ok so we all know that what happened in this country on Tuesday was a heinous act of cowards and that we should seek them out and bring them to justice. Not all Muslim, Islamic, or Arab people were responsible. We do not even know for sure that it was some one of Islamic background. Remember in this wonderful country of ours we believe all people to be innocent until proven guilty. It appears very likely that some one of Islamic descent is behind these attacks and we as a country will seek vengeance. It is however morally irreprehensible to blame an entire people for the misgivings of a small percentage of the population comprised of extremists. This is the same as calling for the death of all Christians because of the KKK.
I have had a lot of dealings with challenged people (the mentally and physical handicapped) and have never once had one of them do any thing mean or unkind to me, as a matter of fact they were all very carrying and kind. (You may wonder why I deal with so many challenged people and it is because I was inspired by my younger brother who is challenged to become a Special Olympics volunteer and just recently became a certified Special Olympics track coach) So this begs the question why whish death unto challenged people if they didn't do any thing to you? It is clearly not out of empathy for them because they are usually very happy with their lives regardless of how simple they may seem to us. I would hazard a guess that it is because they are different. Disliking some one for no other reason then they are different if I am not mistaken is prejudice. I consider prejudice an extreme from of ignorance perhaps that just me. However if you will concede me the point that prejudice is a form of ignorance then I believe the world just got a wake up call to get more educated on Tuesday. It has been demonstrated through out history the prejudice is a very scary thing that ALWAYS leads to violence. Please instill in yourself the desire to become more educated about others beliefs you resulting lack of prejudice may just serve as an example to others.

We name all of our servers after StarTrek TNG characters
I said kids not babies there are plenty of kids but your right not enough babies
Developments like this really offer tremendous opportunities for creating a family for those who cannot have children the old fashioned way
Seems like there are enough kids who need loving so if you can't have them on you own why not adopt?I saw "The One" I thought it was pretty good but not as good as it could have been.

Isn't the biggest problem with wind power the vibrations that make doing delicate things like chip fab impossible?

Yea sorry about the Offtopic but felt it needed to be said

It seems to me that this has the same problem as the war on guns, if we outlaw cryptography programs with out back doors only criminals will use them.
Never before has the tag Anonymous Coward seemed so fitting.
