His response implies that, as human beings, even dirty nuke-wielding foreigners, have our own best interest in mind. Using nuclear bombs = death for everyone.
Everybody knows the US will nuke the hell out of them, because there ain't nobody crazier than white people. It's not something to consider. Provoking people with nuclear bombs is just as bad.
I think that quantum computing depends upon manipulating atoms and subatomic particles to some degree. So I think this leads to quantum computing the same way the train leads to the automobile.
You can't do a good study on that with placebos though. It would be unethical. Just because it's unethical doesn't mean it wouldn't happen. And many many people are not suicidal, yet still depressed.
And I imagine there's a waiver, and an understanding that you might be a placebo-receiver.
Maybe someone can surgically remove Clippy! YAY! I hate that spiteful little prick.

This is little more than a metacomment, but I have to say this. I'm really not sure that anyone here who finds a problem with MS's actions is anti-MS. The truth is, this is a bullsh. cop-out release of source code. This is NOT open source code.
Also, it is unbearably true that Microsoft has been dealing more and more directly with government officials these days. And taxpayers do, in fact, pay for absolutely everything a government does.
I'm not upset about this particular issue. I'm upset enough about the nature of Longhorn. But these are valid points.

That's why at Microsoft we use Microsoft Visual Studio (C)(R)(TM), with its extensive help features and standards-compliance with commenting tags, it makes coding easy for everyone!
The increase in suicide on antidepressants is so noteable that it is the first stated side effect of many of them. Any side effect from any drug is inferred. The question I have is: in a blind drug survey using placebos, why is there a higher suicide rate among the antidepressant takers?
Antidepressants suppress all emotion. This includes depression, but also fear, love, happiness, anger. I don't know about you, but if I never felt fear, anger, love, hate, I would blow my friggin skull off. A very common sentiment among people who kill themselves is that they don't feel anymore.
Nothing causes suicide except that person's intent. Having said that, antidepressants make it that much easier.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the usage of a word define it?
(Hint: Yes.)
Also, spam the verb correlates directly to spam the noun. And while we're nitpicking, capitalizing Spam makes it meat.
And again:
vt.,vi.,n. [from "Monty Python's Flying Circus"] 1. To crash a program by overrunning a fixed-size buffer with excessively large input data.......... 6. Any large, annoying, quantity of output. For instance, someone on IRC who walks away from their screen and comes back to find 200 lines of text might say "Oh no, spam".
So no, YOU learn to read the f*cking dictionary before you climb your midget ass up on that high horse.
That sounds kind of stupid, doesn't it? Just read the dictionary and lay off the I'm-smarter-than-you-and-I-have-proof shit.
I have NEVER had a rendering problem using FF at Slashdot. Ever. On 3 different systems. I need to ask my brother if he has. Just for the record, are there regular/.ers who haven't had the problem ever?
I mean what the heck are you even supposed to do with those?
If you configure Thunderbird to use your AOL email account, you still don't download the messages. You also can't write to the server, so you need a place to store your messages locally.
Maybe they should remove it by default and have an option to add it. Or have the local folders visible/invisible in View menu. But there is at least 1 valid reason for it.
I know you're not flaming or anything but here's my take.///Some sites still don't render quite right/// I think that while it's kind of annoying, it's the web designer using IE-specific tags creating the website (for the most part).
I worked with a company who had a paysite and they had the worst html I've ever seen. No doctype header, no meta tags other than keywords, and loads and loads of sloppy html and nested tables.
I designed them a site using some CSS and cleaned up their code and got rid of some tables and they never used it.
My brother has also been struggling with his boss who designed some pages in Adobe's web design software, and had tables upon tables with different amounts of columns per row.///It bombs MUCH more than IE did/// I've had the opposite experience, but I believe you. I've also noticed that when IE bombs, ALL IE windows bomb, Explorer bombs.
Keep in mind whenever you use a pre-v1 release of a product, you're liable to experience problems and your problems will be better resolved reporting them to the development team.

Sheesh.
Aren't there about 7 million freeware apps that will reboot your computer after a certain amount of time? Can't you just write a stupid shell script?
Did the REAL computer tech quit, so they couldn't figure out how to operate the Unix box? Christ.
well damn the difference between "isn't" and "aren't", huh?

But then again, read my sig.
That's a Laserdisc in the picture.
quite a few do. I heartily recommend that they get their own domain name and they stammer, stare at me blankly, and then log on to AOL.

And for the record, YOU go try and compose a message in Greek sometimes. It's written in cyrillic.
I wonder how many people are, like me, mumbling something about Linux and snickering.
*mmrrmmmrr* Linux *MMmmmrmrrmM*

Sorry for pointing this out
That's good. You should be. Quit clouding the issue with facts.
