Superbowl XXXVII
·
· Score: 5, Insightful
As a huge fan of soccer, i can understand why the majority of americans don't grasp it as a spectacular sport. In 90 minutes it is possible to not have a team score a single point and still be one of the best games in history. If this is the case there are no clear winners and this is not acceptable in america. You must WIN and you must SCORE in america. It is reflected in society.
This is why formula 1 is even less prominent in the US. When something as small as.009 put JP Montoya on pole once this season it isn't enough to discern a clear cut winner. When Schumacher won 11 of 17 races, and ferrari won 15 out of 17 it is seen as uncompetitive. There is so much going on behind the scenes and so many other battles then the one for the lead that it doesn't interest the US audience. In NASCAR or IRL you see 10 different leaders in one race and multiple passes. But this is through stiffling the abilityto one up competitors. Standard wings that allow cars to pass more easily and restricted power engines makes for closer, yet more predictable racing. Americans are raised with 100 topics aminute thrown pass their heads, they consume more than anyone else, and this is reflected in their choices later in life. Like someone said about watching 9 hours of football games and post/pre game shows or 9 hours of about LOTR. Football, F1, American Football, NASCAR et al cater to different audiences. Depends what your preference is.
"various democratic goverments", I think Iraq isn't considered what most people consider democratic. Yes supposedly 100% of people voted for Saddam, but if you believe that is true then you have some serious issues to consider. Or you are typing from the propaganda office in Baghdad. I don't think war is an answer to world issues, but remember what happened in the middle of the 1900s when America resisted entering other people's problems? While I don't believe Saddam has the power or population to blitzkrieg the middle east he probably is capable of killing a lot of people. Whether he would is left to conjecture or time to tell us. Saying any choice of action he would make would be a democratic decision is just being ignorant.
I type - "come watch the red German flying chickens eat a bowl of soup at the hangar canteen while the Italians talk of pasta and losing to korea in the world cup."
babelfish translates - "gekommene Bewachung die deutschen Hühner des roten Fliegens essen eine Schüssel Suppe an der Hangarkantine während das Italienergespräch von Teigwaren und von Verlieren nach Korea in der Weltschale."
babelfish retranslates as - "come guard the German chickens of red flying eat a dish soup at the hangar cafeteria during the Italian discussion of teigwaren and from losing to Korea in the world bowl."
You see, Ms. Nature might have decided that until we are a mature enough species that we wont figure out how to travel orders of magnitude faster then we do now. Without this possibility we can't take our immature squabbling world and use it to destroy other worlds.
If its free software, then why do they need money? Maybe people should start thinking "open source" more like "i pay for the product but get the source". But of course no many people would pay for some of the subpar products out there that are free. For those products which are worth the money advertising is just too expensive. Seems like a dead end. I think someone will find a way out, but the weak must die first.
Actually in the long run it was better that this specific person sold it to the fraudster. Since he was one of many yet the only one to track him down the altruistic value of his actions benefited more then just him. The $20,000 of fake cashiers checks and already stolen computers are probably only a portion of what he was going to continue doing for the next couple years or has been doing.
That was supposed to be an anonymous posting by someone else. I do not condone activity like trolling on my name... damnit. Now I will go beat someone in the next room.
There was a massive technological undertaking to create a fabric that could withstand the forces placed upon them when I was wearing pants. I'm a bit of an anomoly with this 300 ton unit, but I get great funding from the science community when I rip another pair of pants.
I have an Abit SE6, while I can only wash praise upon the product I'm not sure of the condition of its caps. I'm not really an electrical engineer so I can't shine light on how or why caps work. But the board is halfway through its 3 year in constant use. I'm not sure if usage makes it worse. It is on about 6 ~ 12 hours a day sometimes doing intense audio production. But this must be like the general mass production paradigm. Advance your technology to make a quiker cheaper product which enables to make MORE of the product. That way when more fail there are more cheap ones total sold, you will still make more profit.
I have a Gateway 9500XL I bought two summers ago in England while working, and besides startup to the win2k boot screen its dead silent and doesn't burn hot. Its a P3-750, maybe a little less power hungry.
Artists and music pirates have long heralded the removal of the middleman from the music business. This paradigm shift will in effect allow the record companies to make more money and the artist the same amount. Until the artists have a method of promotion that does not require a record label they will always receive the short end of the stick. Maybe instead of $2million advances, a loan of $200,000 from a bank and some hardwork promoting your band as a day job, and playing at night for the band. Turn the band into your business and it might be successful. A few ands have taken that route and succeeded.
Over at http://www.harmony-central.com if you search for used musical equipment you get fed a 2Mb html file when making a search for all dates. Not only does it choke up Mozilla during rendering, where IE is much faster, but it also often crashes while scrolling up and down the page. This is unacceptable, and I use IE when going to that website since Mozilla cannot handle it.
So I downloaded and installed it via RPM (Pentium II binaries). I had to install an old version of libstdc++-3, but that was easy.
What? Since when has that been easy. What do you tell your mom when she says, "I have a Pentium 4 dear, what are binaries?" and then try explaining to her the you need a older version of something. Isn't newer better? Especially when it comes to such necessities as libstdc++-3.
What is wrong here? No operating system will ever be mainstream with involvement like this. Maybe its great for elite linux geeks, but for standard desktop? I do not see that happening at this pace.
I could imagine opening up a closed source of bacteria and whatever other organisms the world has not had access to in 400,000 years. Think of the diseases we could find, and the ensuing death. Its quite often that in the depths of a rain forest new diseases and bacterias are found, and ones that humans have never had contact with. Just imagine the possibilities. Or maybe its just a big reservoir for drinking water once we use/pollute every other source.
I think by "mahor" you mean "major". Maybe some of the editors should write their submissions in MS Word or one of its equivalents before posting it to the masses.
But Coke, Pepsi, McDonalds, Burger King etc are all as evil as Microsoft. Its just not as publicised. My history teacher made us read Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser. Just because they are not considered monopolies in the fast food business doesn't mean they don't own your souls. Drink pepsi or coke and you are 0wn3d. Whats the most profitable item on the McDonald's menu for them? Who is the largest real estate company in the world? Who creates an industry that even their own government does not have power to regulate? Read on, it is a very good book.
Ok, its time to come out in the open and say im an idiot. So here goes.
I burned the iso and got into byzantineOS. I then figured out that I couldn't do anything because I didn't turn dhcp on, or whatever the lingo is. I really can't tell you I have no idea what I'm doing.
after booting back into win2k to read what to do and to figure out what "vi" is and what are its commans I 'vi/etc/sysconfig/network' and change so dhcp="yes". I then 'vi/etc/sysconfig/network.d/interface.lo' and change dhcp="yes". Alright are you sticking with me here? Ok this has taken an hour all in the name of lack of sleep for my 4 classes tomorrow. I then 'exec/etc/init.d/network restart'. Says everything starts up fine so I 'startx'.
Brilliant! Nothing has changed, I get into byzantineOS and i still have no network connection. Beats the hell out of me why, so can you help? How would i go about changing interface.lo to interface.eth0 i think that might be the problem. I checked in composer to make sure the files i changed were still change, and behold, they were.
Ideas anyone? I hope I didn't post too late in the game. Its already the bottom of the list for today's news.
Yes i've played it. I own it and the 4 score. True, the graphics through off even some of my greatest Nintendo buddies who were capable of going friday afternoon to sunday night straight on Coke and the NES in 4th grade. I was always a glutton for these types of games; setting up colonies/cities and trying to win/take over the next colony. This was however very simple, except for your monthly Mountain Wampus hunting expedition.
Everyone waited in anticipation for the destructive meteor impact or comical M.U.L.E. going insane.
Wow thos Multi Use Labour Elements brought hours of fun.
I've only ever achieved the "goal" twice though. Thats reaching 100,000 points. Nothing different happens at the ending which sucks, it just says "you've suceeded" instead of "Your colony failed and not many passing trade ships stop by". I probbaly came within 1000 points of winning about 100 times though.
This ones for the braves... WELCOME BLUE FLAPPER!
they have been patented before, and they seem to still be. but can you patent a way of achieving a goal? Should you be able to, and are there exceptions?
its a pretty basic browser but everything appears besides java and all the flashy plugins. if its html it appears. Its a shame that they haven't got secure connections supported, or else you culd do everything with it.
You go before the show, its a restaurant or a bar. You watch some of the movie, if its longish you get an intermission people go out to the lobby to piss some people stay inside and order more food and then you watch the second half. It ends and then some people get more beer and then leave a little before the next screening. So there is a lot of time to use your laptop when nothing besides gratuitous porn and violence flash across the screen during non-feature time.
Kinda makes you wonder who sits around and finds the sites that are questionable. Its their duty to look at porn all day to stop the wrong people from viewing it.
