having zero gravity is different than having the pen's ink being pulled the opposite direction of the way it is trying to be sucked towards (through "capilary action" as has been referenced in other comments).
and well some of those pens that don't write well upside down.. write like crap when you have them oriented correctly anyways..
I sooo hate cheaply made pens (not meaning you can buy a good pen at a low price)
It wouldn't be spam.. so go on do this.. and get all these people who buy into spam as a means of advert to convert to a new method.. that might actually get their adverts to people who really want to buy it.
Both the Manager and the IT Guy peer throught the window to see both of the mainframes duking it out in the parking lot (one with treds attached to the bottom the other with 12 rover wheels attached) with the rest of the IT staff and programmers standing in a large circle around with cash in their hands throwing down bets.
just to blatantly steal a good IT commercial i can't remember who did it...
They float because of pressure differences between the air closer to the ground and the air in the atmosphere.
A cloud would probably not float if it was held in a vaccum. It has weight...
I haven't read the article so i don'tknow if they article is in fact talking about weight or mass though.. so the article still could be a botch. I'm too tired.. and lazy at the moment to figure it out.. i'm sure somebody else has.
Ok.. we're reading slashdot.org Do you really think we did our homework, or are doing our homework now. I know slashdot caused me not to do lots of work. Its a novel idea to assign homework on slashdot, but many of us, myself included, are too busy reloading the page waiting for the next article so we can make a funny or insightful one-shot quip then move on with our lives. To actually pursue things would be way to much to ask. Half of us (I'm being reeeeeally generous here) don't even really read the articles, we just read the slashdot summary, with all of its inaccuracy's and mis-spelling (thanks taco we love ya):-D.... valid effort... but the best you'll get is mod points.. of which you've gotten and are probably just as happy with.
So where is the story now about the cult following 2003 QQ47. I mean there has to be somebody who thinks its driven by aliens and will take them off the planet to nirvanna.. to leave the rest of us to hell or something equivalent.
God i wish the Scientologists swung that way.. I'd say let the rock take them.
Google bought blogger.com or something like that, the biggest of the Blog hosting sites/engines.
So in Yahoo's scramble.. to figure out why they're loosing to google, they're gonna start blogs too.
Personally i think Yahoo has always had a lot going for them.. they should try and keep doing their thing instead of copying Google. Google is a wonderful salad bowl search engine.. but well.. their categorization of things into easy categories has somethingn to be desired. I've alwasy gone to yahoo for stuff when i didn't exactly know what the site was but I wanted to find it by driling down in categories. Yahoo has always been good for that.
oh well maybe they'll figure out what their looking for some day.
its not stupidity.. its called legal issues with not advertising DUI checkpoints.
I know in the town where my parents live in, they need to advertise the checkpoints in the local paper a week before.
THis is to avoid DUI's getting off by using entrapment as a defense or soemthing.. I dunno exactly I have no Law experience.. but thats the gist of it.
Reasons why timing is good: 1. IBM a mega-corporation is using it in their defense case (among other things they have). But they still reference it as one of the key's to their case. Thus they have some belief in it, whatever that might be.
2. If it is never tested in a real court of Law.. then well its worthless. There is no precedent for it and if people realize nobody wants to use it in court, then its just as worthless as all those EULA's everybody just blindly clicks through.
So here's hoping the make the good fight and the GPL comes out on top.
But you can't back down when a big fight comes just because you have a fear of the system striking it down. If you never come to the table THEY'VE ALREADY WON.
Ok its just for your house.. ha.. didn't read the article in true/. reader fashion.
Well my Rant is still viable I think.. though now sorta offtopic Ugh..
Eh Seems like an OK product.. especially if you're sketchy about giving kids their own private computer.
otherwise its gadgetry.. people will get it.. they'll use it.. but I don't think it'll catch on.. (good that its stand alone equip.. no *service* involved)
Screw that.. the reason I don't use my PDA at all anymore is cause my Cell phone can keep all my numbers (and addresses if I was not so lazy to finger tap them in)
Only thing I wish is that they made small compact cell phones like the Moto T720, which I have, and gave them an easy computer hotsync option.. like their bulky big brothers the PDA phones. The thing already has a color screen and some memory.. function for calender's, and storing names and addresses and all that jazz. No easy way to hotsync though.. I gotta number tap in everything... (which is the only reason I don't use the calender function, I can stand doing phone numbers.. because they're one and done.. calender is always evolving.)
Anyway thats my rant.. could be offtopic.. but I think a lot of stuff (especially IM function) should go to consolidation.. not seperation of function. The whole seperate devices for seperate (all communications related functions) is just a money sink.
Ok still confused. Where did the website come into play and who had it before the fizzer task force?
From how i understand it now..(maybe I'm wrong).. its not that they got the worm to uninstall itself.. it would be closer to say that they created a Fizzer variant that is now spreading (or could spread itself) to eradicate the Fizzer worm itself.. kinda like an anti-fizzer worm..
Ok.. i don't know much about Fizzer.. but if its keeping itself alive by self updating off of a geocities site, AND WE KNEW THIS. Why the hell didn't geocities just take the site off?
I mean I can't even link a picture from geocities to another site.. but Geocities lets this worm update itself from something on the webpage?
Even past that i saw something mentioned about bandwidth.. if Fizzer is that bad wouldn't its constant updating overload the free bandwidth from the geocities site?
pretty much what clearchannel does with most of their stations. not sure if its Mp3's but its some sort of automated system that has all the music and commercials and promo's already loaded into it.
How did this get insightful.. to 4 no less this is the dumbest post i've ever read.. I know I'm flaming and I know I'm not backing my comments up.. Why? cause its just not worth the extra words than what I've written here already.
I mean look.. the icon on the right is clearly shows that this current article is not about wine.. (i.e. there is no Wine Icon).. and is really about the quip about MS using EULA violations to stem emulators of windows. The CD icon must mean comedy or something.. i'm not too sure.. not about WINE though.. definately not.
Ok maybe its just taco feeling his article post rate was lowering and need to throw something in.
No big deal.. like it or hate it.. I just hit the cancel button and since then have not been bothered. In fact I'm not sure if it was cancel or whatever else. Anyway.. hasn't come back up for me.. it was more of an auto-click.. the kind i give to popup adds or EULAs (ignorance is bliss). I think the problem is that people feel the need that they have to try and register again.. If they used a little common sense and said screw you to that pop-up.. they wouldn't have problems. That would mean that the herd of sheep has an ounce of common sense.. and we all no crowds are stupid as all hell.

quiet fool! .. you've uncovered the true plot behind this slashdot posting.
/. sites to take them down .. we will effect data mining for common searches on the internet.
No longer will we
Long live the Speaker Bracelet
It wouldn't be spam .. so go on do this .. and get all these people who buy into spam as a means of advert to convert to a new method.. that might actually get their adverts to people who really want to buy it.

why is the last digit in the time '15' .. when my understanding is the only valid values for that last digit would be 0-9?
is that what you're looking for?

just to blatantly steal a good IT commercial i can't remember who did it...
Almost correct...
.. so the article still could be a botch. I'm too tired.. and lazy at the moment to figure it out.. i'm sure somebody else has.

God I love this site
Send me 5$ and I shall show you the way..
.. I'll show you the really good way!
If you send me 500 dollars
So where is the story now about the cult following 2003 QQ47. I mean there has to be somebody who thinks its driven by aliens and will take them off the planet to nirvanna.. to leave the rest of us to hell or something equivalent.
God i wish the Scientologists swung that way.. I'd say let the rock take them.
Well hmm what happened earlier this year?
.. they should try and keep doing their thing instead of copying Google. Google is a wonderful salad bowl search engine .. but well .. their categorization of things into easy categories has somethingn to be desired. I've alwasy gone to yahoo for stuff when i didn't exactly know what the site was but I wanted to find it by driling down in categories. Yahoo has always been good for that.

Steal their identity.
I know i'd much rather have a leg broken, than my bank accounts drained to some anonymous swiss bank account.
time as ever.
Reasons why timing is good:
1. IBM a mega-corporation is using it in their defense case (among other things they have). But they still reference it as one of the key's to their case. Thus they have some belief in it, whatever that might be.

thats all
if I had points I'd mod this up.
Ok its just for your house.. ha .. didn't read the article in true /. reader fashion.

Educate me please.. I'm kinda confused here.
AD&D is meant to be paper and dice... and Real Role playing.... Make up your own story..
Middle Earth however is an awesome world that I would love to play around in. Hell I play Dark Ages of Camelot cause I can be an Elf.
pretty much what clearchannel does with most of their stations. not sure if its Mp3's but its some sort of automated system that has all the music and commercials and promo's already loaded into it.

Anyway thats all I had.
