    the only way microsoft knows how to innovate is to copy, clone, or outright steal other people's innovations.

    I disagree. Sometimes they buy someone else's hard work, too, like they bought IE from Spyglass (who also f***ed over by MS, by the way).

    I Like Chinese Lyrics
    Artist: Monty Python (Buy Monty Python CDs)
    Album: Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album

    The world today seems absolutely crackers,
    With nuclear bombs to blow us all sky high.
    There's fools and idiots sitting on the trigger.
    It's depressing and it's senseless, and that's why...
    I like Chinese. I like Chinese.
    They only come up to your knees,
    Yet they're always friendly, and they're ready to please.

    I like Chinese.
    I like Chinese.
    There's nine hundred million of them in the world today.
    You'd better learn to like them; that's what I say.

    I like Chinese.
    I like Chinese.
    They come from a long way overseas,
    But they're cute and they're cuddly, and they're ready to please.

    I like Chinese food.
    The waiters never are rude.
    Think of the many things they've done to impress.
    There's Maoism, Taoism, I Ching, and Chess.

    So I like Chinese.
    I like Chinese.
    I like their tiny little trees,
    Their Zen, their ping-pong, their yin, and yang-ese.

    I like Chinese thought,
    The wisdom that Confucious taught.
    If Darwin is anything to shout about,
    The Chinese will survive us all without any doubt.

    So, I like Chinese.
    I like Chinese.
    They only come up to your knees,
    Yet they're wise and they're witty, and they're ready to please.

    All together.

    [verse in Chinese]
    Wo ai zhongguo ren. (I like Chinese.)
    Wo ai zhongguo ren. (I like Chinese.)
    Wo ai zhongguo ren. (I like Chinese.)
    Ni hao ma; ni hao ma; ni hao ma; zaijien! (How are you; how are you; how are you; goodbye!)

    I like Chinese.
    I like Chinese.
    Their food is guaranteed to please,
    A fourteen, a seven, a nine, and lychees.

    I like Chinese.
    I like Chinese.
    I like their tiny little trees,
    Their Zen, their ping-pong, their yin, and yang-ese.

    I like Chinese.
    I like Chinese.
    They only come up to your knees...

    The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism. Here.

    Or Google it.

    This is too funny to me right now:

    1. I had to move my sound card to a different PCI slot because it was causing problems with sharing an IRQ with my video card. Because of different card sizes, I had to rearrange other cards, too.

    a. New sound card found, do you have the drivers? Ah, yes, but... Great, give it the drivers again. Reboot.
    b. New TV card (multimedia device found) do you have the drivers? Why, yes, but they were already instaLled. No matter... Reboot.

    Two driver reinstallations and two Reboots.

    2. Put my gamepad in a different USB port: Windows has found new hardware but you need to be an admin to install it. WHAT??? At least Windows didn't require me to reboot.

    Linux. No driver reinstallations, no reboots, no need to be admin to use my fricking gamepad in a different port.

    Microsoft would be well advised, if they haven't already, to have a strict regimen for ensuring that all code they release is really theirs.

    They don't have to do such thing when they can do the following:

    Someone has to come up with a formula for success that doesn't equate directly to a ledger line.

    How about this one: Success = the extent to which a person overcomes their own selfish, egoistic, habitual tendencies and approaches what Abraham Maslow called "self-actualization."

    The problem, of course, is that people now have to abide by this view and I don't see that happening any day soon.

  21. Re:Yes. . .everythings normal BUT. . . on Physicists Clarify Exotic Force · · Score: 1

    It's almost scary that we know more about what binds subatomic particles together than what keeps the moon orbiting the earth.

    If you find that almost scary then do you almost cream your pants considering that we know more about what binds subatomic particles together than the nature of our own mind? I mean we do "know" that there is a certain relationship between physical phenomena and psychical events, but yet we don't know what thoughts are and how it is even possible that the "I" can create them.

    I myself have a BS in Physics but I lost interest around the time that I read this story:

    A man was walking home late one night when he saw the Mulla Nasrudin searching under a street light on hands and knees for something on the ground. "Mulla, what have you lost?" he asked. "The key to my house," Nasrudin said. "I'll help you look," the man said. Soon, both men were down on their knees, looking for the key. After a number of minutes, the man asked, "Where exactly did you drop it?" Nasrudin waved his arm back toward the darkness. "Over there, in my house." The first man jumped up. "Then why are you looking for it here?" "Because there is more light here than inside my house." ( best version I could find)

    My point? Well, I think that if we are seriously, honestly interested in finding a ToE, we should consider Eastern thinking a little and Buddhist philosophy a bunch. Like here: a Google search

    While I agree with you (right or wrong) that "it's often easier to buy a company that has a functioning product..." Microsoft's history of buying companies for their products provides no evidence to me of "the folks at MS Research are so extremely bright "
