Wow, for someone so knowledgeable about computers you seem to forget what a simple failed network printer install could do to an entire Vista network... Vista allowed you to install XP printer drivers (by mistake) and that failed install would make it impossible to print at every station across the network. Vista didn't even check to see if the driver was a Vista driver or not and if it wasn't a Vista driver it was a critical fault...
Well, 10,000 years ago New York city was under a glacier. We just finished an ice age ten thousand years ago.
Global warming even if man is causing it may not be a bad thing. Since the Pacific and Atlantic oceans were separated the earth has been cooling. Cooling is far worse than warming. There really does need to be a debate about this.
We should try and control the climate. The issue is should we try and make it colder or would we try and make it warmer. I'm voting for warmer. We need to rejoin the worlds Oceans with a 100 mile wide mile deep trench over Panama.
I was doing it five times a day... The poor girl getting the end of day encounter got a thimble full no matter how good looking she was or wasn't. The morning girl always got a full two table spoons...

Grats to SOE!
The problem is, as I've been flamed for before, Linux is still nowhere near the point where a non-techie will consider adopting it. Although it's much better than it was even a few years ago, it's still not an idiot-friendly OS where things 'just work', compared to what people are used to.
I should scroll down and read all the responses because I'd bet money there are 20 comments just like the one I'm about to make.
While I was at work this last Christmas break my twelve-year-old daughter found my old 800 PIII with 512m of RAM and a ten gig hard drive in the basement. She took it and an old 15 inch CRT monitor up to her room.
From the time I left for work (730) to the time I got home (1800) She had formated the HD, installed Ubuntu, got the old Linksys B USB wireless up and running and was surfing the net when I walked in the door...
My wife demanded I remove the computer because my daughter hadn't asked if she could have a computer with Internet in her room...
Anyone know of a good netnanny for Linux?
Oh and the woman suing, is obviously dumb or lazy.
Because the mass of a photon at light speed is basically zero because it is infinite.
I know it's hard to grasp. Why don't photons escape black holes? Where does the momentum of everything entering a black hole going?
Both zero and infinite mass work in all of the equations.
Scientists have been contradicting themselves for decades. They all know light has mass. They also know that to travel at the speed of light requires infinite mass.
Since no one can figure out how infinite mass and a light particle would work (and it does), scientist just pretend light has zero mass... It's so much simpler than acknowledging that mass radically changes at the speed of light and that infinite mass is zero mass.
The WII was a brilliant move in the Game Console War, perfect in design and marketing.
In English, the damn thing is flat out fun. Sure the graphics aren't very good but who cares?
I actually had to use the God Damned thing.
I hated how it wouldn't mark read email read and wouldn't acknowledge a meeting was canceled or deleted and it would keep reminding me of meetings that had passed years ago... I hated that I couldn't back up email to my machine and when I did try and copy and paste the emails they'd all be fucking unread after the move and everything took so fucking long...
I know, no one mentioned SAP. They just seem to go hand in hand... I hate both with a passion.
Someone who hated people came up with the user interface of Notes. How does any company put things like, "change password", in a more obscure place in a UI?
SAP which is about as useful as a hammer. Sure you can do just about anything with it but is it really the best tool to change a tire and perform an appendectomy with?
Of course, you don't the Witch Trials were 300 years ago!
Some of those burned alive really were witches! Oh sure, they didn't have eerie powers of the dead or anything but they did practice witch craft.
Point is, times are going to get economically hard for all of us and we will want to see some public executions to ease our pain.
Who better to publicly draw and quarter than the dreaded pedophile!
So what if a few innocents are killed?

Meaningless gesture. Will change nothing at all.

Yes. America needs high speed rail.
Ever built. Hey, that's what they said, "Unsinkable".

"Vanguard - Saga of Heroes" is not fun. Vanguard doesn't even have 50k players let alone 500k.
Internet. If he had he'd be facing ten years and a half million dollar fine.
Now I know what happened to it.
Scientist from former planet #5: "definitely no chance of the LHC destroying the planet"
Scientist from former planet #5: Switches on LHC.
Former planet #5: Poof!
Will shock everyone more than who they monitored.
I'll bet they didn't record business conversations...
Even though those/that businesses had BSL-3 and BSL-4 labs and/or made guns, bombs, nuclear materials, chemicals and moved money for a living.
10/1 Haliburton wasn't monitored for even a minute.

Zero mass is infinite mass. It's the same thing.
Because mass and energy are one and the same thing. At the speed of light mass is infinite and infinite mass is the same thing as zero mass.
Light has infinite mass not zero mass.
Both zero and infinite mass work in all of the equations.
Scientists have been contradicting themselves for decades. They all know light has mass. They also know that to travel at the speed of light requires infinite mass.
