I'm not how accurate it is to state that the weird magnetic phenomenon has a significant impact on heat energy received from the sun. Earth's magnetism probably has little impact on the Sun producing sunspots as well.
Hrm, I disagree. Those are all legitimate enhancements. If you don't want them, they're not baked into the operating system. On Windows, even though Aero is pretty (like Compviz) it's part of the OS, and is always there. Same with the browser. On the other hand, SUSE's parent company, Novell, has signed agreements with Microsoft, which is disconcerting. I myself run Windows at home, as I am realistic, no current OS is as good as the one which does what I need, and Windows does that. Linux, BSD, Solaris, Sky, Menuet, etc are trying to, but just simply don't. On the other hand, I trust the checks and balances of a user community driven project over that of a corporate committee. As a consequence, my Windows runs a lot of Open Source software, or paid software made by independent developers (like yourself).
My good friend just had this issue, he upgraded his PC and online activation wouldn't work. He had to give a 64 digit number to the tech on the phone and then had to receive a 32 digit number. That sounds like a pain in the ass to me. The alternatives are, not wasting a moment of your life trying to relay a sequence of numbers to some guy in another country so you can use something you bought and paid for a license to use.
Microsoft is responsible for it's employees making decisions like this. A representative of their company enacted this, and as a result the company as a whole needs to take responsibility. Someone in authority had to nod their head for this to happen, a bit of money exchanged hands here, it's not a tiny thing.
Current theories state that information cannot be transmitted faster than the speed of light, regardless of all the cool things quantum physics can do, which is a shame really.
Because controlling the spin of a quark over here and measuring it wayyyyy over there can't transmit data. Additionally, nothing can move faster than the speed of light, ever.
But really, I was wondering what sort of massive force could cause such a correlation. My own observations seem to indicate that certain structures are present at every level of scale. From fractal lattice crystals, to fluid dynamics ripples, perhaps such a structure reaches even higher to galaxies and superclusters.
Maybe the whole universe is in one of these structures, held together by interference patterns of gravity waves creating "sockets" in which large structures can "fit" and create sympathetic wave deformations.
And you'd be correct, and it shows that either Microsoft's left hand doesn't know what it's right is doing, or that they're spinning it, thinking this will somehow encourage pirates to buy their software.
Personally, if choosing between Windows Update working or doing it manually, I'd do it manually.. (and I do)
They didn't shell-out to it. They compiled it and wrapped it in their own libraries, possibly modifying the source in the process. Many applications use GPL code without a problem, they leave the library as it was originally (or submit changes/source) and include the license. It's not a big deal. The GPL is weird though, in that using libraries do sometimes require you show the way you're using them (the course), but shelling out in no way counts.
As someone who 3's Windows, this isn't very comforting. The graphs show bugs *fixed*. So in other words, Microsoft fixes way less bugs than the Linux Community does.
I think a lot of it can be duplicated and measured, however doing so is expensive, time-consuming, and thankless, this is why it's not been reported on a wide scale. I know a lot of research has gone into ESP and other paranormal activities, most of it is disregarded and ridiculed, no matter the validity. I would say there have been a lot of crackpots who have delved into paranormal research, occult, and mysticism, sensationalized it and made it into something few scientists would align themselves with for fear of losing credibility.
I don't think paranormal activities are the result of "God" and "demons" as imagined by our ancestors, it's not religious, it's not mystical. I think the principals which define true "paranormal" events can eventually be well-defined and understood and will have theories and constants and paradigms just like gravity, thermodynamics, and quantum physics..
Er.. not that many scientific disciplines are fully understood or well-defined either (Schroedinger's Cat, Double Slit Diffraction, Dark Matter..) but you get the idea..

Simulated robotic orgies.
Yeah I feel ya, 30 hours of chastity is tough.
Oh, wait..
Oh, you win good sir, I double checked my spelling.
Have you tried cannabis? I hear that makes some good hash..
Millions of people do it every day!

Basically all it says is that companies can't bias lobbying decisions in it's favor by flooding the voting polls with paid supporters.
Oh, and you didn't get first post.
Actually your dialouge there sounded like a combination of Reboot and Mr. T.
I pity da foo.
In gas usage? Probably. Which matters, especially if you do a lot of city or stop-and-go driving. ;)

Depends, are the nodes connected via quantum entanglement? If so, latency isn't really a problem.
I, for one, welcome our new gala... meh. Not worth it. You have a go.

I was under the impression that all the updates are still contain their digital signatures, so anyone can verify their veracity.
Personally, I rather like "FUKD".

Isn't that one of the concepts behind Energy equals Matter multiplied by the Speed of Light Squared?
That Matter is made up of Energy?
So either you're trolling, or I'm misunderstanding your jeering.
