there are crappy jokes out there that hurt, but i dont think this was a good example of one... this was just silly humor... i didnt read it and see any homophobia in it... if i were in a different mood i might have made the same joke myself (well maybe not, since its dumb, but anyway...) and im pretty sure, as a gay guy, im not very homophobic...
I don't think these engineers devised any sort of "invisibility shield"...maybe they're just really dull....
host: With me now is Mr. Thomas Walters of West Hartlepool who is totally invisible. Good evening, Mr Walters. (turns to empty chair)
walters: Over here, Hughie. (host turns to see boring, visible man)
host: Mr. Walters, are you sure you're invisible?
walters: Oh yes, most certainly.
host: Well, Mr. Walters, what's it like being invisible?
walters: Well, for a start, at the office where I work I can be sitting at my desk all day and the others totally ignore me. At home, even though we are in the same room, my wife does not speak to me for hours, people pass me by in the street without a glance in my direction, and I can walk into a room without...
host: Well, whilst we've got interesting people, we met Mr. Oliver Cavendish who...
walters: Even now you yourself, you do hardly notice me...
That's how it works... but even if I don't listen to the entire playlist... even if I just listen to just the first song on the randomized list before re-shuffling it... there still shouldn't be any songs I never hear... this doesn't explain it.
All of his articles except maybe 2 or 3 were just rambling meaningless crap... full of buzzwords and half understood concepts... it was like he was mystified and intrigued by technology and geekiness but wasnt actually a technological person or a true computer geek... and the slashdot crowd sensed it and attacked...
So you really DO combine all the security concerns of both platforms... in a nice bogged-down system. Emulation is usually for very peculiar needs or for amusement... it's not something the average person does out of habit.
I like to see Apple becoming a more acknowledged and respected brand... since someday I hope more people can enjoy how much better an experience using Mac OSX is compared to Windows.
We all know Apple is leading in MP3 players.
And we all know Apple has about 2% marketshare when it comes to computers. What I don't think I've ever seen though is a marketshare breakdown for just laptops. I only know one person who has a Mac on his desktop at home... but in my classes (computer science majors) I'd say about half the laptops are iBooks or PowerBooks... and I see perhaps an even greater percentage when I go into the library where the majors are more mixed. (And yet there's always a university Mac station free even when all the Windows PCs are taken and have a queue)
I know Macs are unpopular for desktops (never mind how many companies buy Windows desktops straight from Dell, that must REALLY count against Apple there)... but I have a hunch they're doing very well in the laptop arena.
You're right... that could have described the cities you mentioned in the late 19th century...
I just hope it's truly analogous to India today... and there's not something fundamentally different between those times and the present day... such as the nature of the industries that's driving the expansion. Or the existing infrastructure of these governments... or the huge difference in population size between, say, 19th century New York and present day Delhi.
I think everyone wishes India the best... I just really hope they can do it.
Look at any Indian newspaper in the matrimony section and check out how many people mention their caste (oooh, a brahman!) or their "fair" skintone...
I was in a small village and heard a story about some lower caste (just lower, not untouchables) people who were recently killed for getting a drink from this village's well.
There's no reason to bring up the US since no one was pretending the US doesn't have problems. But just because other countries have problems, doesn't mean that what's going on in India is ok or acceptable. It's no justification to say "oh yah, well look at what you guys did!"... it does not make it right.
I'm a 23 year old white male... and just got back from a month in India (Delhi and some parts of Rajasthan)...
I don't know how India can quite get on track to become a really nice place to live at this point. In Delhi especially I noticed that no one cared at all to obey any traffic laws whatsoever... people use any place as their bathroom... there were lots of slums and beggars...
Delhi is building a big mass transit el-train (the delhi metro)... and even the recently completed parts of it seemed like it was pretty shoddy construction.
I have to give them credit... and the people were very nice and generally very happy over there.
But they deserve better than what they've currently got. And to me it seems that growth and expansion can only hurt them at this point... they need to clean up and get some sense of order in their government (and do away with all the corruption and stupid Hindu/Muslim or North/South prejudices they have) before they can think about expanding.
It's like a seed... right now it's a dirty, corrupt, defunct seed that can only grow into a dirtier, more corrupt and defunct tree... but if they take the time now (actually they should have done it years ago) to clean up so that they have a clean, honest, functioning seed... it will grow into a cleaner, more honest and functional tree.
Lesbians have the lowest infection rate for these things... it seems to me that it's not homosexuality that's harmful... it seems it's more a matter of going anywhere near a penis.
Same for those idiot churches that say AIDS is a punishment for homosexuality... if that's the case it seems lesbians are God's chosen people.
I think gay christians should do themselves a favor and become an atheist... it gets rid of their moral conundrum... and it can only improve their intelligence.
I'm getting tired of all these bills where they make an acronym and then work out what each letter actually stands for later on... PATRIOT ACT anyone? It's obvious as in this case, that the actual name was an afterthought... they want a catchy acronym first and foremost.
Well Bio is being pushed very hard here now... ASU is getting all these new Bioengineering buildings. And there's that Arizona Biodesign Institute thing.

looks like irish or welsh or something to me...
im gay and the joke didnt bother me at all...
there are crappy jokes out there that hurt, but i dont think this was a good example of one... this was just silly humor... i didnt read it and see any homophobia in it... if i were in a different mood i might have made the same joke myself (well maybe not, since its dumb, but anyway...) and im pretty sure, as a gay guy, im not very homophobic...
what spelling mistake?
gullable is a variant of gullible, as is favour a variant of favor (or vice versa)

I know, very obscure indeed... and even then... I don't see how the iPod would even be able to identify certain songs.
That's how it works... but even if I don't listen to the entire playlist... even if I just listen to just the first song on the randomized list before re-shuffling it... there still shouldn't be any songs I never hear... this doesn't explain it.
...but when I put my 20GB 4G iPod on Shuffle play mode... there are some songs it just seems to NEVER play.

Currently I fear for India's future.
your best friend must find you insufferable
about AIDS...
Lesbians have the lowest infection rate for these things... it seems to me that it's not homosexuality that's harmful... it seems it's more a matter of going anywhere near a penis.
Same for those idiot churches that say AIDS is a punishment for homosexuality... if that's the case it seems lesbians are God's chosen people.
yes, they can all combine like voltron into one being, and then renounce their faith
I think gay christians should do themselves a favor and become an atheist... it gets rid of their moral conundrum... and it can only improve their intelligence.
It doesn't sound like he's confused... I think his mind is pretty made up, and he's happy about it, from what I gathered in the article.
And oh yes... you're an ass.
to be honest diane... i was surprised.
Also the CAN SPAM act...
I'm getting tired of all these bills where they make an acronym and then work out what each letter actually stands for later on... PATRIOT ACT anyone? It's obvious as in this case, that the actual name was an afterthought... they want a catchy acronym first and foremost.
I think you can download it from iTunes actually.
I hope we haven't contaminated the planet already with some Earth super-virus/bacteria from the rovers.

MCC has it? Wow.
