I had this old machine in DMZ on my network and had forgot about that detail. I switched hard drives and installed windows. The installation took 3 times the usual time and I thought it was probably some hardware problem or something. As I booted up the first time I realised it wasn't a hardware issue but a windows one. I had to explain to my fiancee that I couldn't have visited any pornography sites yet since it was the first boot.
I agree. EQ is dead. Right now it seems anything that has to do with MMORPG is Warcrack and that's also going to head the way of the dodo in a year or so.
Why do people feel the need to make their text turn red when you have your mouse over it? What are they trying to convey? That their text is dangerous? That their site is cool? Why?
well any language can be written to look fugly. You can also do crazy stuff like you did there using object references as assignement in an array but what advantage would you have in doing such a thing?
I took your first example and wrote it how I would write it. Look at your code now:
function Dimension(width, breadth, length){
this.width = width
this.breadth = breadth
this.length = length
}
a = new Dimension(1, 2, 3)
alert(a.length)
Just like you have beautiful perl and python you can still do really crazy things in it on purpose. But why would you?
Perhaps they should have fined Microsoft and asked that they open all formats and protocols, give all patents to public domain and issue a public excuse to everyone.
not all graffiti falls into that category. My sister used to hang out with a crowd of graffitists. They sometimes (though not always) asked shop owners and had permission to make drawings on a wall or parking place. Some of it was beautiful.
I could.:) But I won't. My opinion is that religion is a memetic complex and it's only goal is survival no matter how much it asks of humanity. Literature and philosophy insofar seems to server humanity, allowing expression of ideas and scrutiny of knowledge. Religion merely asks that we adopt "facts" even though they are half-truths or plain fallacies.
scientists refrain from analogies when postulating a theory. I believe you meant "Science shows that an unborn foetus is alive.".
And with current definition of life we'll have no problem agreeing to that. Science can't tell you something is good or bad, it can clear out the details for you, like wether or not the feotus can feel anything or think (can't do that without a brain). It won't postulate that something is good or bad though. That's unclear definitions and most likely always will be.
I believe the real problem here is that religion states something to be a truth even if this decision is based solely on the opinion of the majority or the higher ups. It doesn't provide a way to refute advanced ideas, traditions or methods except bickering. If you disagree you have nothing to argue with. It's all rethoric in this milieu.
With science OTOH you can advance any hypothesis you desire, from the stupidest to the most serious, but it has to prove itself through tests. If someone provides evidence which goes against what the theory postulates then there is room to disagree and reason to require a new hypothesis. With religion it's always an open question because none of it is based on sense.
Science above everything is a method to prove or disprove with. For this reason the corpus of knowledge and truth reached through science will continue to grow larger and more complete everyday. Religion however will debate wether the color should be red or green without real importance to truth or knowledge. All that matters to religion is the control it has on people. It's a memetic complex and it's only "desire" is survival.
And I'll tell you why. I bought a powerbook because I liked the model The only reason I use OSX is because it's a nicer OS and has drivers for the WIFI card. If ubuntu had wifi drivers I'd be under Linux way more because at least the OS doesn't force me to use formats and hides my files away from me.
Wouldn't you question their motives if a retarded islamic group created a news source? Wouldn't they have something in mind other than just showing you the story?
If any religious group decides to control a news source don't you think that they might be doing it to get yet another outlet for self-promotion?
I believe he meant that saying we are the only intelligent species is arrogant. Think about it. It's like being born in a civilized country, never stepped out of your own but claim that your country is the only one which is civilized. Well we haven't found other life elsewhere (it is too far) and to claim that we're the only intelligent life is having a big ego.
I'm francophone and right in French is "raison". Yes from reason. I prefer the French word for it:) It means that although he might be wrong he at least put some reasoning in it:)

Only go to Wall Mart to print pictures if your friends and family are really ugly.
BitTorrent vs Avalance.
I believe Apple has an Office product ready but they are only going to bring it out if something happens to Office for Mac.

People say all kinds of nasty things in the name of humor. Your humor was racist.

Am I the only one feeling that only a minute amount of graffiti fits into the first category?
Or a laptop?

no Dilithium is used for time travel as seen in Napoleon Dynamite.

-> got karma to lose -
Legal "insurance" of the GPL. Let's have something to smack the big boys with.
I regret to say but MS just keeps on copying.
My idea is that they'll both be successful to varying degrees.
"So what?"
Einstein, Mozart, Ghandi would have been more appropriate to make me think twice.
