Well, that was fun! And also, they use the metric system! I'm so glad.. I also noticed that Star Trek uses the metric system too. Maybe there's still hope for America?:)
Well.. people might say this is a good day for privacy, but I'm sure that they'll develop a working version of this thing. Personally, I have no problem feeling watched.. actually I associate it with the feeling that somebody's checking that nothing wrong will happen to me.
You answered my message about the song "Black black heart", but unfortunately the user discussion was deleted a few days after you did, and I never had a chance to see your response.
Hi all (and Ms. 3141), it's me! Have you missed me? I know I haven't written for long, but it's because of temporary instability in my life.
Anyway, let me tell you about LOTR.
It begins with the story of poor Bilbo, who had great life in his hobbit hole, until Gandalf took him out of his cozy hole and forced him into a completely unnecessary adventure, which caused many people in a village to get killed, and also resulted him in being much more rich - and gain a magical ring. All those things did not make him happier.
It continues with The Fellowship Of The Rings, about Bilbo's heir, Frodo, who's forced into going to another adventure of his own. He needs to get rid of the ring that Bilbo found in his previous unnecessary adventure. Now, while Frodo's adventure may be a necessity, it could have been entirely avoided if Bilbo hadn't gone to his uselesss adventure.
Another annoying thing with The Fellowship is that it has almost no girls. I remember only 3.5: Lobelia (that greedy old woman), Tom's wife, Arwen and the Elven Witch. When the list of Frodo's friends was written, I was so annoyed to see that it is consisted of males alone! It's so old fashioned, and makes that book unfit to the year 2002.
Now, ask me what fantasy book I'd love to read now? I'd say none. There's nothing interesting. All the fantasies disappointed me. I used to like Narnia, but I read it again and found it old fashioned (although it was much better than LoTR - at least they had female characters there)
Oh.. and the movie was much more interesting than the book. I couldn't complete The Fellowship.. (I managed to finish The Hobbit, which turned into a real page-turner by its end). And I hate Tom Bombadil. He shouldn't have appeared there at the first place - and besides, I deserve to have his wife.
Rarely you get to know about new things by reading them (new computer languages/platforms), but it's interesting to see who sponsors slashdot. The ads aren't the thing that take a lot of download time - but it's the comments that do.
It's not the annoying Java or flash ads that make sounds or explode when you accidently move your mouse over them. They are just innocent ads. I can't see why anyone would filter them.

Help him find one. K? thx.
Since they give the power to AOL, which is one of the biggest foes of Evil Microsoft.
I don't force my children to eat stuff.
I totally agree!
Thanks for the info. :)
From the CVS manual:
(the release command)
This command is meant to safely cancel the effect of `cvs checkout'. Since CVS doesn't lock files
Locking files is very important in a normal work enviroment, and CVS approach is more towards "loose" free project development.

Hi Richie
I wrote something like a request for someone to dissect that song for me, since I couldn't understand what they were talking about.
On second hand.. maybe they didn't intended to make sense in the first place?
Hello Richie
You answered my message about the song "Black black heart", but unfortunately the user discussion was deleted a few days after you did, and I never had a chance to see your response.
What did you write there?
Well, the problem is that I'm not from USA, and it seems that senders won't ship internationally.
(Wow, what a debate I caused here!)

I miss Asimov. I read almost all his sci-fi stories (except of the short stories).
There's one book of him I haven't read yet because I couldn't find it: A Pebble In The Sky.. I wonder if I can find it anywhere.

The ads of slashdot are a part of it.

..like Jamie from Mad About You. It was so cute if a girl maintained Slashdot. But apparantly you're not. Oh well. :(

Hi Metrollica.
I asked you a question about the "user discussion", and you answered me but apparantly someone deleted that discussion, so can you answer again?
Btw: This Apple thing is very weird. I can see subjects here that doesn't show up in the main page.. is that normal?
