Anyone who knows what square root is, knows that no way in hell is sqrt(2) 1414.
There is a difference in claiming that humans breed exponentially while supplies increase linearly, and claiming square root of 2 is 1414. The latter is just so retarded that no-one can make that mistake.
Oh my, aren't you clever. What, you are actually a retard? Jeepers, why didn't I think of that???
Context is everything. Anyone with half a brain figured that I typoed and meant 1.414, especially when I wrote sqrt(2). Those who didn't, started to nitpick.
think those two cities combined make up (yes, this will require scientific notation) something like 10E-100% of the earth's surface.
Useless fact: if the above was true, the area of the cross-section of a proton would be 7.85e56 times as large as the area of Mexico city and LA. Or 78 500 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 time as large.
Well sorry for being Finnish and using a ',' as the decimal point.
Okay, let me try this one more time for all you Americans: When scientists take random data, they sometimes get more accurate values for sqrt(2) than 1.414.
If that really is the reason you want to buy an Xbox and mod it, you could just as well NOT buy an Xbox, see my journal: http://slashdot.org/~wheany/journal/9124
Once merely an annoyance, junk e-mail is quickly reaching epidemic proportions in cyberspace. Billions of such messages regularly crisscross the Internet, pitching everything from herbal remedies to X-rated websites.
The growing flood of e-mail advertising has crashed Internet servers, clogged connections and cost business untold hours of wasted employee time. It has also forced millions of bleary-eyed Internet users to undertake the seemingly endless chore of clearing the electronic clutter from their in-box.
You can, if your LCD sucks as much as the one on my laptop. Its brightness is way too high, anything that is only light on a normal monitor is white on it. For example, some Google ads don't have a yellow or a light green box around them.
And the driver software only allows you to change the gamma, which doesn't help very much. I used powerstrip for a while, which helped, but the nagscreen got annoying.
But I agree with him, if only a little. It seems "average user" scanner software is made to be so "easy to use" that any "advanced" options, like changing the resolution, are hidden.
I'd settle for a software that has radio-buttons for for the resolutions. Right there with the preview. And some button for rescanning the preview. At least with the software that came with HP Scanjet 3500C two years ago when I bought it, you have to press "cancel", then "scan" at the main window to get a rescan...

don't even think of storing all the waste near where I live!
I will gladly store some of the waste on my backyard, if I don't have to be responsible of guarding the stuff.
Does this have something to do with Junis from Afghanistan?
Beowulf cluster of CHEESE?
Have you played vagabond?
What were the gun-classes?
Gun, big gun, really big gun, my god that's a big gun and don't point that thing at my planet. Were there others?

Yes, we really do that in Finland, and I pasted the result from a localised version of Windows calculator.

Hey, I TRY.[...]I drive a two-door hatchback
You must have written that wrong. You must mean you cycle, right?
I guess you want to volunteer your backyard for a nuclear storage dump?
I have no problem with that. Can I bury it, so that it won't spoil the view?
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL your 2 funi I laf at ur joke!

Did you get it now?
when scientists feed random data into their weather models, they sometimes get more accurate results?
Well, that is pretty much the nature of random data.
When scientists take random data, they sometimes get more accurate values for sqrt(2) than 1,414.
Guess what people in Finland, or other countries where Wrestling (as in "sports entertainment") is not shown, think when they hear WWF?
Please note: USA is not the world.
That reminds me of a conversation on usenet where someone was against nuclear power (actually atompower) because the waste has atoms.
Is that a porn-version of Johnny Mnemonic?
Why do little kids here go nuts over Pokemon?
Ignoring marketing and the fact that Pokemon might really be fun (don't know, haven't played):
Because they have not been brainwashed yet to think nationalism is the greatest thing ever.
Does Japan have any kind of software industry? Nope.
What country has the biggest console-industry?
Like when you give a fake email addy to your ISP when you sign up with them?
Could it just be that Posten will give you a separate account for just this kind of mail?
The article specifically says that you choose which companies can mail you. This pretty much means that you can opt-in and opt-out at will.
If you don't want any mail from any company, you don't sign up for the service, or you just don't allow those companies to mail you.
1. Microsoft loses money per machine.
If that really is the reason you want to buy an Xbox and mod it, you could just as well NOT buy an Xbox, see my journal: http://slashdot.org/~wheany/journal/9124
But if you don't buy an Xbox, MS loses a few more bucks.

Ooo, clever...
