This reasoning is fatally flawed because if the atom is intact you do not posess the information required to recreate it. So at no point is the atom duplicated, i.e. it has to be destroyed first, otherwise you don't have enough info.
I'm sorry, although I firmly beleive in "To everyone his own", I cannot watch people claim something "inferior" to classic Mac desktop. I'd rather use binary dip switches to use that fugly piece of shit they call an interface. Haven't tried MacOS X yet, but I have the monobrau-menus are gone and I can switch tasks with a single-click.
"hunt and peck" is not looking while typing, it's having no set fingers for keys... you have a picture of the keyboard in your head... and if you're typing you reach for the key not with the finger you usually use, but rather with the closest finger... that way your writsts get a workout too. it's the way one learns to type when you have to type fast but you never had a "typing" instructor... it's the natural way as opposed to assigning keys to fingers...
I might be wrong, but I remember recompiling the NVidia drivers from source. I don't remember looking at the source though, so it might just be a wrapper.
Amen brother!

Satanists are the biggest marketing stunt of the past centuries. Albeit the ones described by preasts never really existed. Only the classical LaVeyan kind who mean no harm.
Does anybody know if LCDs are capable of changing resolution in theory? My laptop is capable of 800x600(it's a 1024x768 screen) but it look... really really fugly.. I guess that answers my question, but can they do it and still maintain quality?
Well, your analogy is correct. Sure you rarely call an electrician to fix your windows bluescreens, but you cannot say that software is something beyong a computer, can exist independently or perform something more complicated than the computer can, I'd call you a loony.
You know, I'd almost rather go for a corporate national ID system than a government one. I'm not saying that I'd trust Microsoft with my data, but I'd much rather trust Microsoft then the same federal government that spawned the ATF, the DEA, the INS and the FCC. [shudder].
What are you doing on BSD anyway if you want stuff like this?
To tell you the truth? Nothing, except good WineX can mean better Wine, which means I can run Visual Studio, and other windows crap so I can finally wipe the remnants of it from my systems. I'm already on a 100% FreeBSD laptop, works wonderfully.
If the H2 is locked up in some other medium other than gas/liquid, the cost associated with extracting it could outweigh the benefit in using it. There's lots of hydrogen all over the planet, but as has been pointed out before, the electrolysis to release the H2 from the H2O takes more energy then is derived from the H2. I hope someone can tell me why this is not the case....the teat that is oil is doing us no favors.
Well think of it this way. We already have solid hydrogen fuel cells with relatively cool and safe means of extracting said hydrogen into electric(correct me if I'm wrong) energy, oh and it's compact too. We already have nuclear fission reactors that generate a lot of power, are big, expensive and unportable. Even with a certain loss(even if it's 10x it still might be justifiable) you convert the hydrogen from the water, ground, etc. to solid hydrogen fuel cell rods(releasing oxygen in the process), essentially transfering the energy of nuclear fission into a car on the street which converts it to electric energy + water(which then get's converted back into hydrogen rods + oxygen). The only thing that's spent is uranium, and the only byproduct is oxygen rich moist athmosphere and spent nuclear fuel(which, in my humble opinion, isn't such a big problem as some claim).
But at the moment there is no cheap way of getting hydrogen out common compounds.
Just zap the water, works great and is pretty cheap too.
Unless you don't use nuclear fission for your elecricity, then everything becomes expensive.
I'm sorry, but all these morons protesting nuclear power (fission that is, I haven't heard of anybody protesting fusion yet)
are just slowly degenerating our earth. Heck,
nuclear fission is probably cleaner than solar power considering that most solar cells are NOT biodegradeable and to match the same power output you get from several pounds of enriched uranium, you'd need tons and tons of solar cells.
Granted the recent article about plastic solar cells looks promising but it's still no match for wind, geothermal and fission.
It's sad how afraid human's can get of the unknown.

If you support nuclear energy, cloning, genetically modified foods, you must really
hate babies and America, and you must be a terrorist!!!!
[/sarcasm]
Sure, seems absurd, but it takes one idiot to say it on national TV, and guess what?
We're about to ban cloning, nuclear fission is on the brink of extinction as a power source (it even got to the point that nuclear powered ships/subs aren't allowed into certain New Zealand harbors anymore, because some lady from the parliament, and I roughly paraphrase/quote "Got a knot in my stomach when jogging past one of these monsters").
and most importantly we can't even do experiments on how to grow new eye nerves for a blind friend of mine from stem cells cause every SPERM IS SACRED!
Reading this over, I see how I will get -100 Flamebait. Troll. But this is how I feel, and if you disagree with me, feel free to e-mail me. (I blocked Slashdot at home and work so I wouldn't get distracted, so I can only read/post from university terminals)
Slashdot Mirror
Kylix 2 has been out for awhile... I'm still waiting for Linux world to change overnite.
What I'm interested in is if they fixed that *feature* that didn't allow you to change the shapes of widgets in Gtk.. like Qt lets you.

Somehow I'd imagine there were more Linux/BSD users than MacOS users (sans the stuff that apple gave/sold-at-a-loss to schools labs)
What are you talking about? It took me and a second admin 25 minutes to rewrite our IPF rules for PF. No biggie.

Well, when you're developing a method of communications you don't usually test it by running other people's credit card numbers through it.
Does anybody know if LCDs are capable of changing resolution in theory? My laptop is capable of 800x600(it's a 1024x768 screen) but it look... really really fugly.. I guess that answers my question, but can they do it and still maintain quality?

If your life savings are somehow linked to your credit card then maybe you deserve to have them stolen...
The same thing that makes you think you have some inherent right to live safely in a world free of terror.
Why, changing your hostname on demand of course, obviously you have to reboot though.
Not if I can help it. http://www.lp.org
Fuck off, I am willing to shoot anybody who infringes on my freedom.

More importantly, why would Cray be running Solaris 8? Isn't Cray at least partially owned by SGI? Isn't SGI pushing their own servers with IRIX?
feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but this feels like a mini-"We Have The Way Out" deal all over again.
