Took a shower. Nothing eventful. I'm getting back hair in new places. Either you're getting back hair on your back, where you didn't have it, or it's moved to somewhere else. That'd be interesting. Or, perhaps, you're growing new back (with hair) where you didn't have it. How varied are the possibilities!
It's just way too early, and there are many different factors behind what we are seeing here. As the dust settles and everyone gets fully optimized DirectX 10 drivers out the door with a wider variety of games, then we'll be happy to take a second look.
However rare rouge waves could potentially cause problems to floating structures.
Ah, yes, those rare massive waves of red makeup will do a job on any man-made things!
(Hey, I'm sensitive to it because when I was in junior high I wrote a story in which the protagonist, a thief, did some horrible things. And I wondered why my teacher kept laughing at the story.)
One of my colleagues and I would challenge eachother to use a strange word in the talks we'd give at conferences. This started when we were talking abuot an experiment I was doing, and I said, "What should I call this hole here?" and he said, "Call it a urethra. And when I raise my hand during your talk and ask about the equipment, you'd better say, 'Oh, the water flows through a carefully characterized urethra, here...'".
You can guarantee I'm going to challenge him to use 'unitard' at our next conference meeting.
If I were an alien, landing in the midst of 50,000 "worshippers" in a town of 45,000 people in SE New Mexico would NOT be my first choice. Actually, that goes for just about everyone, alien to the planet or not. Unless, of course, my menu normally consisted of nutjobs in RVs and on motorcycles.
Architects know how to calculate whether or not a bridge will mostly stand. [...] Yet an architect could calculate whether or not the sky-scraper would stand mostly... Somehow, that's not very comforting to me (though I know what you're saying). It reminds me too much of "We'd better get back, 'cause it'll be dark soon, and they mostly come at night. ... Mostly. "
It's a long-shot, but I've actually seen Windiz Updates fix something quite like this, and then the official MS updating worked just fine. Of course, you might just stick with Windiz afterwards:) http://windizupdate.62nds.com/
No, my prediction is based on the idea that processing power will have overtaken processing needs by so much in 10 years that it will be pointless to have a dedicated processing facility. Sure, maybe it'll take 20 years, but it's going to happen.
Piffle. There will be a new version of Windows by then. That will eat up at least 50% of this new processing power.
A drop of water is of the same basic shape because of surface tension, and its dominance, at various length scales, over the forces of air resistance and gravitational gradients. There's really only one principle at work there.
Arguing that relatively advanced lifeforms should all be vaguely humanoid because we consider ourselves to be advanced and humanoid is essentially saying that environment has no influence on evolution. It might fly at the Creation Museum, but won't work in the real world.
I learned all sorts of state capitols and information about various places because I wanted to catch Carmen. *snipe*
Which game teaches the difference between capital and capitol?

You might try Recoll http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/, based on the Xapian back-end. It seems to produce larger indexes than Beagle, but is faster (much!) and you have more search possibilities, AND it hasn't corrupted the search indexes once (as Beagle has several times).
The point that the parent was attempting to make is that other species are designed not to need all this intellectual baggage we drag around with us. They can still accomplish the three prime objectives of life (eat, breed, die), and never waste a moment sitting and agonizing over the wording of their slashdot posts. As a slashdotter, I find the wording of your post to be highly agonizing. And as to the really important content of it.... two outta three ain't bad.
I think if we have the power to make up words to represent these "fuzzy" quantum digits, that "quigit" (like 'widget' with a K tacked on front) would be both more accurate and more fun to say. Perhaps. But then all the Gnome people would insist on calling them "gwidgets" and the only real winners would be the xfce users....
"Unexplained affluence" I splurged on the xtra large pizza with all the toppings. I know that when I was in college, giving my roommate pizza would definitely cause some affluence later on. We learned just to keep the windows open.
I think we should have a telecope permanently aimed at Eta Carinae taking pictures in succesion (aka video). No way! We'll get arrested for felony wiretapping if we do that.
Actually, I've just realized that although some words can annoy me, the overuse of exclamation marks annoys me far more. That and the phrase 'Slow down Cowboy! It's been 17 seconds since you last successfully posted a comment'.

I just did. I'd like ~ 116 minutes of my life back, please.

Geez, and I thought Gentoo was supposed to take a while.
Cute post. Not technically correct, however: Bush has commuted Libby's sentence, which may be considerably different than a pardon.

...anecdotal, but it'll be there: it is probable that the article will be duped on slashdot until at least 100 billion years from now.

Not really. You might want to get someone to explain humor (or humour) to you.
