If, by the article you linked, race doesn't exist, then there can't be any racism. So your rebuttal is pointless.
I'm old fashioned. If I want to know the meaning of a word, I use a dictionary.
3. Anthropology. a. any of the traditional divisions of humankind, the commonest being the Caucasian, Mongoloid, and Negro, characterized by supposedly distinctive and universal physical characteristics: no longer in technical use. b. an arbitrary classification of modern humans, sometimes, esp. formerly, based on any or a combination of various physical characteristics, as skin color, facial form, or eye shape, and now frequently based on such genetic markers as blood groups. c. a human population partially isolated reproductively from other populations, whose members share a greater degree of physical and genetic similarity with one another than with other humans.
Notice the focus on genetics. There is no "Muslim race" and unless they figure out how to embed the Koran into their genetic code, there never will be.
Well then, we should be easily able to cure Muslims by finding the gene that makes them turn to Islam. A little genetic engineering and *bam*! No more Muslim gene.
Please look up the word "Racism" before you embarrass yourself any further.
Three cores? HA. You have a CPU, and a GPU broken down into two dedicated functions. So they took the graphics card an embedded it into the motherboard.
Wow, I must be running at least 5 cores on my system then! A dual core CPU, the graphics card, the on-board graphics chip, the memory controller... I feel so elite! Or, not.
I did see the video. What's the part that you think is so awesome?
An Xbox is just a PC. Last time I checked, the OS it runs is a stripped down version of Windows.
PCs are also known to run Windows.
Wow! So they created something that allows you to run your game under Windows! Astonishing! Such innovation!
Yes, there's a difference between the Xbox Windows and the PC windows. But they're the ones who made that difference. XNA helps them fix a problem that they created in the first place.
I don't think MS will ever innovate. They're just too big and too conservative to take risks. Buying up small, agile, creative companies is the best they can do.
Tsk tsk. Looks like you (insert minor infraction of law here). Don't you know that internet access is a privilege, not a right? We're going to have to revoke your computing licence.
Oh, you work in IT? Man, you should have known better. Now you can't work!
If you wanted to extinguish one, by the time you got to it with a fire extingushers, you'll just be putting out the secondary fires it created.
The feds are just covering their asses with this. If terrorists really wanted to blow up some rocket fuel, they would be better off attacking NASA than trying to figure out how to make/transport/detonate their own.
Actually, the best way to solve this is to put the start bar on the right or left side of the screen. The buttons only change width, not height. And you can stack many more open tasks/windows/programs that way.
Works great in Windows. KDE and Gnome? Functional but could use some work. OSX? Heh. For reasons of backwards compatibility they have to keep that awful bar on top.
Not really. Regenerating a limb is replacing something your body already has instructions on how to build. Since the B-cup girl doesn't have the instructions for a DD, it wouldn't work.
Geez. If you're demoralized, confused and belittled by encountering something you don't understand, how do you get through life without killing yourself?
I'd be shocked if you could find someone who didn't encounter concepts that are beyond their knowlege every day.
When Nixon lost to Kennedy in the rigged Chicago elections, what did he do?
He went in and fixed it.
The fact that Kerry has done nothing of the sort speaks volumes. Even if the GOP cheated their asses off, Kerry isn't enough of a leader to go in and fix things. In comparison, that would make Kerry worse than Nixon.
"On top of that, how do I know if I am approaching MTBF on my hard drive when I don't know how many hours I've been running it over the past 6 years? "
You don't. It's a complete crapshoot, at best you'll get some warning that the hard drive is failing.
Slashdot Mirror
"That said, this is a problem and something should be done about it. "
Have you considered that this attitude makes things worse?
You need to be able to assess your skills on your own. Determine what you're bad at, and then take steps to fix them.
I would rather people learn self reliance.
Surely Eroticon 6 has more than just one whore?
I mean, just look at the name of the planet! It would be horrible if their speciality was flower arranging or something.

I totally forgot about the PPC thing.

Why?
Your bank called. You owe 2400$ in fees from failed transfer attempts.
You can wake up tomorrow and all that money can be gone.
Paypal is not a bank, there are no laws protecting your money like there is with a bank.
By that logic, we don't need a "Do not call" list.
Imagine getting a phone call every time you get email spam.
Ditto. I was going to wait to see how the PS3 performed, but now I'm just going to get the 360.
Sony, do you have any idea how badly you have to screw up to make MS look good?
Two words: "Hanging Chads"
Great. That's how I want to spend the next hundred years. Very, very hungry.
Really? You didn't find it amusing at all?
Ah well.
I don't pay anything for heating. I live in a condo and just use the waste heat from the guy downstairs and the other neighbors.
Eventually I'm going to build a monolithic dome home though.
One major problem, You're assuming that the price(value) of electricty stays constant.

Rocket motors go through their fuel quickly.
If you wanted to extinguish one, by the time you got to it with a fire extingushers, you'll just be putting out the secondary fires it created.

Furthermore : I can erect a windmill on my roof; You can't really do that with a nuclear power plant do you ?
Not with your pussy house made out of wood and drywall.
Or is it one of those eco-friendly houses made of bales of hay?

Because then whatever organisations that are doing this in China will simply move elsewhere and attack from there.
Hows this for your next headlines? "Mexico and Canada jointly attack the US commerce department."
Not really. Regenerating a limb is replacing something your body already has instructions on how to build. Since the B-cup girl doesn't have the instructions for a DD, it wouldn't work.
But it would rock for those who had a mastectomy.
Playing four-square is also age 8 material, but I don't remember the rules to that either.
