The 2.2 is outdated and everyone knows it. Thats not even hardly relevent here. When you use the 2.2 kernel its most likely on a box that needs stability. The new features of 2.2.23 probably wont bring anything new to your router. This update is pretty pointless unless you need one of the new feature which you probably dont. I heard about there being a security issue which you might care about but even then its probably not worth it.
What i see in the commercials doesn't look good at all. People get pics from their friends or family but is it worth it? I think it would be... cool... or something... if i got one of these but ist not worth it. Think about how much you use it compared to how much you pay for it. Lets say you get 50 pics a month. You spend $100 on the phone and maybe $40 a month. Thats still going to be over a buck a pic even if you sue it for months. Why do that? If i got a pic i would sit there and think "was it worth a buck to get this pic?". Probably not so im not going to buy it.
I usually start to write a game and get some good ideas. I have wrote some text based adventures and i have a cool idea about how to draw up the map and move around. I write that part out but it gets boring after i finish what i went in for. I made and openGL game in my programming class but once i got a little sip flying around shooting things i lost to motivation to actually put in stages and a game.
Whenever it has workwed best its usually with other people. In my programming class i did work on other people's project coding certain parts they needed but it becomes difficult to keep going with two visions. When most people start coding what they really want to do is produce a game. They want to be able to design the game and have other people do it their way.
I always have great plans to make some sweet ass game. As a programming student i get myself way in over my head and end up scratching it long before it becomes playable. Typical problem or not organizing and shooting too high.
It makes me think that i dont wanna do coding as a living becuase if i actually did make progress and someone cancled my work it would not be very fun at all.
They dont want to do this or else everyone will hafta get their tickets online. If all the good seats are reserved a lot of people wont be happy when they get there. Also it is a hassle to have to reserve seats for people. More work from the employees to keep people out of the seats.
In case you wanna see if you even need the nwe kernel. You can find the changelog here. Dont download it now if you dont need it. there are peopel waiting to use those servers.
Nvidia drivers for linux are really good but So are Matrox's. Matrox write some bitchen drivers like Nvidia but unlike Nvidia they GPL the whole thing. Getting all the windows functionality in linux for both my GF4 and G400 cards is perfectly easy. I advise buying from those two companies for linux. Matrox cards though old are very nice because they are cheap and they have good linux duel head support.
Each dimension does not have to have the common names we give it but it helps to use those names. Using the same pattern you can give names to any of the other dimensions required by String Theory. You could use any type of measurement to explain it. You could explain it as a "hue" dimension. It does not have to be this but let me explain how this works.
When you have a two dimension world you plot on the x and y axis'. When you add a third dimensions you can have infinite points using in space using the same x and y coordinates.
When you add time to the third dimension it does nto change the thrid dimension at all. Two things can exist in the same place (a big no-no in physics) only if they do so in a different time.
If you want to use soem type of "hue" explaination for the fifth dimension it would work like this. You have your regular 4 dimensional world we live in, then you add one more. Now each point in time is defined by x, y, z, time, and "hue". You can have infinite space inside the same old 4 dimensions. If you never changed the "hue" rating of your existance it would be like living on a two dimension sheet in a three dimensional world.
Who knows if we really live in 4 dimensions? Im not saying we dont but there are some ways to explain why we would not have seen extra dimensions if we didn't live with em... but alas the turkey is almost done so i gotta go;)
Well thats the trick to solve problems like this. I wanted to put in layman's terms why this is a problem. I don't understand why this is such a big deal. I understand its cool and exiting but people have come up with theories to solve this problem all the time for years. Its another cool one with all sorts of other cool things it could mean but even if its proven on paper you still gotta test it.
Essentially quantum mechanics and relativity only work if certain things are true about the universe. Those certain things conflict with each other so they cant both be correct.
All this is really about is loop quantum gravity (LQG) vs. string theory (M-Theory). String theory has been getting closer to making the world make more sense but in this article its just another competing theory.
They aren't selling "MS anti-freedom v1.0". Think of it this way. Could you useing products you would not bitch about buying in America be used to filter the internet? You can buy all the regular routers and server and be just fine. The real issue is should they be making money. The chinese govt. spent a lot of money that ended up in American companies pockets.
Of course they would say its a military target and it IS partially correct. Obviously they would not bomb an area with no military targets but wiping out their army was not possible with nuclear bombs. We could have dropped nuke after nuke after nuke and not decimated their military. The real power in the bomb is the fear of it killing more civilians. So although it did destroy military targets it did far less than any other type of bombing could have to purely military targets.
Also, was I wrong about the Japanese being honor driven
You are right about that but it is not honorable to get yourself killed and have your family starve. The war machine convinced them of things that would most likely have proekn down on the event of a real invasion although who can really say as its the past and cannot be changed.
You underestimate the value of their propaganda machine
Although i was not there im not so sure i am. Many of the Japanese thought they were winning the war untill their surrender. Do you think they would have really fought so hard when real American troops came to their town.
Yes, the whole point was that that was what they concluded would end the war with least loss of life
How is a population center going to lower the loss fo life? Could they have not bombed an unpopulated area just to show the power of the bomb. Of course we told them we were going to bomb them but how could they really believe we would wipe out an entire city. We could have droped hundreds of bombs and it would not have made an invasion against an angry populace any easier.
If we dropped a hundred bombs on a hundred cities it still would not have crushed them if they refused to surrender. All that needed to happen was to have them know as we know that we had the power and willingness to wipe out a city. The key question that nobody, and i'll admit, including myself knows the answer to is would Japan have surrendered if we didn't bomb the cities. There is always a way but i cannot answer what it would have been becuase as i have said many times before it is the past and i cannot second-guess the actions of those before me.
But what does that have to do with what we're discussing. I don't have to know their family to feel sorry for them
You probably dont know many of them becuase entire families were taken out. Can you imagine the loss of an entire family name? All the history of the people in the cities now gone?
I have asked people who knew some who died in the bombings. I havent heard one of them talk about how they wished it never happened. I dont know if i would want to take it back if i could. The one thing i know that those who knew the dead also agree with is that we can't let somehting like that happen again.
Its not about placing blame on teh past bombing, its about preventing ANY civilian casuaties.
Also, as one last note; why aren't you maknig arguements against my points instead of attacking the fact that im making them. Instead of saying my points are not related or entirely fabricated you should explain WHY.
Becuase you are not into this AC's blatent dodging of the arguement's facts could you explain his point if you agree. I understand people will disagree with me and i would really like someone to make a valid point as to why im wrong. I know there is more to his opinion that "your 16 so stfu". If you can honestly counter my points and make your own argument as to why im wrong i would be willing to hear it and change my opinion.
BTW when i ask japanese people about what happened in WWII i dont need to shout... ill ask em in Japanese.
Im not saying i know better than what they did but i know they have other options. Did they have to bomb a population center? Do you know anyone wiht family who died in one of the two bombings? Do you know people who have gone there?
"we" who won the war did not include you (you might have been cowering somewhere bleating about your rights)
First of all i wasn't alive so im not going to second guess what happened. Also the rights that were taken away during WWII were quickly given back after the war unlike the current war on terrorism. Was it ok to round up the Japanese citizens who lived and worked here in America? Im going to answer no for you which is clearly the position of our own govt. I live on an Island in Washington state where the very first Japanese citizens were rounded up. My house is only a few hundred feet away from where they were put together and loaded onto boats to be taken away. Do you know anyone who was taken away? Were you alive when the "war effort" took YOUR rights away? Your damn right i will tell people if i think that outr tights are being taken away.
So what your saying is that European civilization should be saved at the cost of any amount of Asian lives?
The past is the past and i dont want to change what happened. All i want to do is make sure something as horrible as WWII never happens again. Today around the country it sounds almost like we want to start another WW. It sounds like we want to prove again WE can show the world the light of good and bomb the hell out of anyone who is "evil". Everyone seems to ignore the huge pain and loss of WWII. The other day i was tlaking to someone from Hungary who said that in Europe they are much more afraid of war than America. They remember very well what happened.
So quit attacking my opinion by simply attacking my experiance. Why dont you argue with my points instead of simply saying im wrong without an explanation.
I suggest you look into the Japanese mindset of the time.
A assume your saying you have. I dont believe you did, i have looked into it. I have studied Japan quite a bit, learned the languadge and studied the culture. You as wrong about them as anyone who claimed the communists were spying on us and we should make lists of em.
The Japanese people were in complete and utter shock when their surrender was sounded
Come on you cant really believe that. The war had not been going their way for over a year and althought they may have been surprised that they actually lost they were not in "utter shock".
Terrorists however, want to change us.
They use that an an excuse but they aren't going to really try to come in and turn America into a Muslim state. Some of what they ask for in ym opinion is reasonable but because of their actions we are not going to give in to them.
the bombs hit major production cities
Once again not true. Nagasaki was the best example of how this is not true. Nagasaki wa bombed as a test. A test on humans to see what the damage to a real live city would be in a hilly environment. As it turns out being behind a hill from the bomb will prevent the bomb from doing a lot of damage. We payed for that knowledge in the lives of civilians.
As horrible as the bomb is it probably did save lives but there are other ways we could have won the war without using it. What if the bomb was not dropped on a population center? Wouldn't they get the idea? Who knows how the past could have been changed but i know that right now we must be very careful about how we treat our nuclear skill.
And further, those lives would be those of the enemy, not of US soldiers
Unfortunatly i dont agree that we bombed the enemy. Although we didn't bomb US soldiers the civilians who were killed were not enemies of ours. When the war ended the Japanese didn't harbor the same hatred and agression that we did after 9-11 that we do towards Middle Eastern people.
