Rome, IT - With the apocalypse just around the corner, where does the Savior of All Mankind turn to meet His IT needs? With the Lamb's Book of Life getting larger every year due to the conservative groundswell manifest in Bush's re-election this year, the Christ decided He needed to upgrade to a platform that was state of the art, utilizing the latest technologies.
Like the parent says, the Series 5 is a great device. Unfortunately one day mine stopped working... screen went berserk, made a faint high pitch noise, etc. I would have replaced it, but I suspect small devices die rather easily when you keep them in your pocket all the time because of all the stress, humidity, etc.
Which makes me wonder... in the original movie where Han Solo meets Darth Vader and Vader repels his laser blasts with his glove... and all the other times the Jedis deflect laser blasts with their light sabers.... wouldn't a good offense against a Jedi be to get two or more opponents, flank the Jedi, and then fire simultaneously?
Can you install apps on it without a Windows machine? I'm stuck with this older palmtop that is useless because I have a Mac and I'm not buying virtual PC just to install apps on it. (It was a gift.)
The sage says: Hand Runesword to me. >give runesword to sage You attempt to give the runesword to the sage. The runesword flies from your hand, spins around in the air and moans with the anticipation of the kill. The sage looks at you and says 'You should have handed me the runesword not attempted to give it to me. The sword is more evil than you or me could ever be. You have errored and now I have to pay the price. The runesword plunges deep into the heart of the sage and they are both lost in a firey explosion.
Unfortunately, its a lot more likely that we live on an electron in orbit around a hydrogen atom that is part of a dust cloud in some obscure nearly empty out of the way place...
[Dark matter] is thought to come from a variety of heavy particles that rarely interact with regular matter and can pass through conventional objects unseen.
That sounds like another phenomena of a less scientific nature... ghosts! In some belief systems spirits or souls are more massive or dense then normal matter as well.
If this were true, I would suggest the reason that this experiment didn't find any "dark matter" is because there wasn't any in the vicinity, because the organization and distribution of this dark matter is neither even nor random.
Astronomers believe this arises from the gravitational effect of 'halos' of dark matter around spiral galaxies.(source)
Together, these two results suggest, to me anyway, that dark matter could really be more advanced civilizations or intelligences that we know nothing about.
Actually I kinda got a kick out of that. The opening sequence where they show the Time Warner logo and all has been subverted, so to speak, turned the green hue that all the matrix shots had. In The Matrix, it says, "Time Warner", in Reloaded it says "AOL Time Warner" with even more ominosity, and by the time Revolutions came out they had dropped the "AOL" from the time.
One thing that is interesting about wavelet based compression is that it degrades in a way that is more pleasing to the eye, that is, there aren't any "artifacts". Discrete cosine transforms (e.g. traditional JPEG/MPEG) produce artifacts because of the way the compression works on blocks: blocks are not a normal part of most video signals, and thus when they show up they are called "artifacts" because clearly they do not belong there. Wavelet transform degrades more akin to the picture being less sharp and showing less details and so there is nothing that is noticably out of place.
It's against federal labor laws to work unpaid hours whether it's the employee's idea or otherwise, and for reasons which are OBVIOUS unless you're retarded.
Ok first, why this has been modded to +5 when it could arguably be flamebait is beyond me. But, having said that, I think the parent is taking the grandparent out of context. Specifically, if you are hired to do a certain job with an expectation of how long that will take, then yes, I suppose if it takes you too much beyond that amount of time maybe you are (and I use this in the truest sense of the word) retarded. Now if management has made that amount of time too short to reasonably expect one to complete the task in the given task, then management is at fault, and especially liable if they are willfully trying to overwork their employees. But if someone is just dragging their feet, or under-competent, or whatever, they arguably deserve to be fired. So if anything, the statement that you should be able to make up the difference on your own non-paid time without being fired is arguably giving the benefit of the doubt to the employee, under the assumption that management's demands of the employee in that case are reasonable.
I think maybe the major gripe with this is that people today are over-subscribing their own time to the point where they really can't afford to work unpaid hours. By the way, I'm curious what federal labor laws the parent is refering to here - does this include all those people who worked for nothing but (eventually worthless) stock options during the IPO bubble?
a mailbox that is 1Gb when uncompressed may only be a few hundred Mbs in reality thereby saving Google high disk costs.
And therein may lie the answer to the question of how they will prevent people from creating multiple accounts to back up their files. If your data has a low (or 0) compression ratio, your account may be flagged, or you may find your attachment is stripped off.
The same phenomena happens with Caller ID. Can you imagine a parent getting a call from their son or daughter which shows up on the caller ID as "LEE'S SUMMIT PUB"? When in fact they were actually calling from "Lee's Summit Public High School"...

Irony: You're not!
(Probably because you tried to invoke an infinite loop by reference)

Archimedes last words were: "You may take my life, but I will take my mind" thereby indicating his retention of intellectual property rights.

Erm no, actually it would be more like: Milky Way, Local Group, Virgo Cluster, Coma-Virgo Super-cluster, Known Universe

How can you break your credit? I mean have your credit history erased so that neither you nor anybody else can obtain credit in your name?
The sage says: Hand Runesword to me.
>give runesword to sage
You attempt to give the runesword to the sage.
The runesword flies from your hand, spins around in the air
and moans with the anticipation of the kill. The sage looks at
you and says 'You should have handed me the runesword not attempted
to give it to me. The sword is more evil than you or me could ever
be. You have errored and now I have to pay the price.
The runesword plunges deep into the heart of the sage and they
are both lost in a firey explosion.
How long until that ability is either abused or hijacked?
Never. That would be wrong.
And who will pay for those additional taxes? That's right, the customers will.
As they should.
Don't you have any idea how expensive a ferrari, big house with pool, trips to various locations...
Yes. Yes I do.
You missed my favorite one!
I had been driving for forty years, when I fell asleep at the wheel.

I find this quote interesting...

Then what other artifacts can occur?

No, don't look directly at the sun... that is what they don't want you to see!!!
Oh whoops I was wearing my hat of insanity... sorry!
It will be announced the day after they charge your Visa - no sooner, no later!
So please, think of the rest of us, and hurry up and order your G4 laptop today!

You know, we really didn't need the visual of RMS's navel lint. God, I gotta go take a shower now.
Pharmboy in the shower? Now that was a visual I didn't need!

Oh great! Do I vote with the RIAA/MPAA or with Microsoft, hmm... Thanks a lot for exposing our two party system for what it is.
