"Dinking with Word and Paint, don't de-mystify the machine."
Okay, "Don't demystify the machine." is an imperative clause. You are telling me not to demystify the machine.
But I don't understand the first sentence fragment. "Dinking with Word and Paint." There is no subject and no verb. Dinking is a gerund, so we need to know who is dinking, and then we need a linking verb. "I am dinking..." would work. But then you wouldn't use a comma. You wouldn't say, "I am dinking with word, please don't de-mystify the machine." unless de-mystifying the machine would interfere with whoever is dinking.
"Light travels as waves, right? When two waves cross or meet at the same place, interference occurs. The interference can create light or dark spots if the light is monochromatic. If there are different wavelengths (==colors) involved the light and dark spots may be different colors depending one which waves interfered in what way at a particular point. This must be the idea they are basing their display on."
I dont know why you were modded as troll. You have a good question. The answer is simple, though. The interference happens just nanometers away from the light source. Once the interfered-with light travels just a few more nanometers, I believe it must his a "projection screen". True enough, if the light just travelled out, it would not make an image until it hit something. Looking at the device without some sort of screen would be about as useful as looking into a movie projector.
"How many geeks are going to buy a desktop OS? None."
I have. I started learning POs when I got my first IBM, a PCjr, at age 7. It booted up into rom (or cartridge) basic, and I started programming. Now, at almost 25, I'm a paid programmer. But I never learned linux and of my friends, the only one who knows linux even moderately well lives about an hour and a half away. So I grabbed Lycoris. Since all a GUI is is a front-end for a command interpreter, I'm doing things in the GUI and finding out what they do in the CI. My intent, of course, is to wean myself from the GUI like many people did from Win3x and 9x. Shouldn't take me long. But when I forget something in a pinch, the gui's there. Now I see the things the gui does, and look up how it does it. It's been pretty constructive.
"Macs tend to last twice as long as PCs for functionality (wait and see with the new OSX though). The resale value for a mac is significantly higher than a Windows PC.
Maybe Macs are better?"
No, Macs are just the computer for art fags. Everything else art fags deal with is pretty, unreasonably more expensive than the equivalent that you and I use, and collectible, even though it's really useless. Why should their computers be different?
This "music" is CRAP. It's not surprising that non-musical features of some fucking polygon sound like non-music.

As you should know, not all forms of words are in the dictionary. This word makes perfect sense to anyone who wishes to have a knowledge of their language even the slightest bit better than the average person/streetwalker/rapper.
The name for the the property of the ability to approximate an item is that item's approximability. The "In-" prefix means not, as seen in words like insufferable and incomplete. So, if there is no ability of a value to be approximated, that value is inapproximable, and, if quantifiable, the value that refers to exactly how inapproximable is a value is referred to as that value's inapproximability.
"Ha! Don't blame QuickTime because of an OS that clogs everything in a registry..."
Yeah, I suppose if it's either all info kept in once place, or all info kept in many places, I'd choose.INI files all over my frickin' hard drive, NOT! Sheesh.

Mod me as redundant if you must, but I don't see what to say since in the parent text, the comment was made that MACs were addressable. I just want to know how much money was spent on this "ingenius" idea; fees that will be passed on to the consumer.
"Very true. As the mass increses the density decreses. For a black hole the size of the universe we would need about as much mass as there is in the universe. So we could all be living in side some huge black hole. We won't get squished but we can never get enough energy to escape."
GREAT. So now, I've been up all night, it's 7am, and the puzzle just became trying to figure out what the universe is like OUTSIDE a black hole? Thanks. Thanks alot. *hits the books*
Okay, nice to meet you and thanks for the help. I've got another question. The only thing that could make galaxies into discs and explain polar jets from black holes is spin. Why do they all spin?
"Even if an 'inside' explosion pushes everything out, conservation of energy will eventually bring it all back again.(or eventually stop at infinity)"
Whaa? So if a rocket/space module/satellite/etc. exploded, it would come back together because of conservation of energy? Nuh-uh. All objects continue, relative to an observer, in their path and velocity unless acted upon by an outside force. Once the pieces start flying, another force is needed to stop them. That ain't conservation of energy. If it happens, it would only be possible if there was enough mass left in the center to still exert a gravitational field. No law/postulate says anything comes back together when exploded. When something explodes, you're increasing chaos/entropy in a system, but not even touching on violating matter/energy conservation. We know where the matter went. It turned into alot of energy. Remember that explosion?:-P
"What's inside is unknown (and presumably unknowable)"
Actually, it is completely knowable. It's just impossible to relay that information outside the event horizon.:-P But in theory, even if for no purpose and getting no proof, a probe could make it past the event horizon, if only an extremely small amount. Maybe even a manned module. I forsee these "suicide trips" in the future, as opposed to a KevorkianBot.
"CNN is reporting that the star at the center of our galaxy is actually a super-massive black hole."
I'm no astrophysicist, but really, wtf could hold an entire GALAXY together but a black hole? Seriously, any ideas? I may be naive, but I've always thought this to be a stupid ponderance. Sure, anyone with a scientific mind would want proof of its existence, but to be surprised? *Sighhh*

I hit "I do not accept" and it walked me right through. Maybe they should spend the money on programmers instead of fucking skunk lawyers.

Breadbord!?!? Pretty soon, you'll drop the training wheels and simply connect your vacuum tubes and resistors together with wires.

:-P If there were any wonders of my geekiness... :-P

With a name like "Catweasel" it has to be good.
It almost inspires as much confidence as "Smuckers."

"they could always send Dr. Who back in time to trademark the police box before the 1960-ties... "
I agree, 1960's ties are hideous. So thin! But what does that have to do with trademarks?
Mod me as redundant if you must, but I don't see what to say since in the parent text, the comment was made that MACs were addressable. I just want to know how much money was spent on this "ingenius" idea; fees that will be passed on to the consumer.
Gotcha :) Thinking too two-dimensinally...

Thanks
"5 feet in diameter and 3.5 feet wide"
Maybe I dont understand, but diameter is a measurement of width. Maybe 3.5 feet tall or thick? Or am I missing something?
