So you don't think its cool to watch somebody that can not only do a back flip, but throw in a full twist in the middle of said back flip?
Now add in that they did this not on the ground, but on a balance beam only inches wide and they nailed the landing with narry a wobble?
Regardless of the politics surround this year's Olympics, you seriously can't see why anybody would enjoy watching a human being pull off amazing shit like that?
I agree, if the 3G had capacities of 16 and 32 GB for the same prices I would be leaning towards the upgrade.
As is I will stick with my 1st gen iPhone and wait for the next overhaul.
The guy has been throwing out his social security number (often in television advertisements) for 2 whole years and only once did anybody end up getting any money out of it.
And that person got it from a payday check cashing place at that.
Not exactly a reputable type of business in general.
I'd say his service works pretty well based upon that track record.
No you'll be flamed for demonstrating your ignorance.
Those dinosaurs you see at your local museum are just the tip of the iceberg. At this point millions, maybe even hundreds of millions of fossils have been found.
Hundreds of thousands of bones/fossils have been found at single dig sites.
The dots have been connected, by looking at the fossils you can actually watch some of the more complete species on record morph over time, sometimes to drastically different shapes
But you won't be satisfied until you see bacteria turn into a mouse before your eyes...
Not just cosmic rays, normal good old nuclear decay becomes an issue.
Sure the half-life on carbon is very, very long, but it does decay.
And just one carbon atom decaying in a microprocessor made up of these means a broken computer.
Why can't they do what Apple has done about 3 times now?
Move to new technology, but provide a compatibility layer so legacy apps still work, even if they are in some sort of emulated environment?
The new hardware people will be using with the new system will be fast enough that even an emulated environment will be as fast (or faster) then their previous machine.
With the virtualization technologies available today this should be even easier to do then, say, Apple's transition from 68xxx chips to PowerPC chips, or PowerPC chips to Intel, or OS 9 to OS X.
Were they all seamless transitions? No. But they were arguably better then then the transition from XP -> Vista has been so far.
Microsoft seems to want to either take the course of backwards compatibility at the expense of progress, or progress at the expense of backwards compatibility.
Why not go for the best of both worlds through emulation/virtualization?
There are plenty of primary and secondary documents beyond the 4 gospels from the time period that corroborate not only the existence of Jesus, but the basics of his story.
The earliest we can prove that the gospels themselves existed date to just decades after the man supposedly died. They were likely originally written before that. It takes time (especially in the ancient world) for a document to spread around and become notable enough that others start mentioning or quoting it in their own writings.
Do we have an actual skeleton found in a grave marked "Jesus"? No. Video tape of him walking around? Of course not.
But there is loads more evidence that the man really existed then there likely is for say, Leonidas of Sparta.
WHY are these bozos spending money on this? Who needs running water?
Hey, Let me guess. The Saudis NEED running water when their wives, daughters, and girlfriends want to drink some and there is no male around to get it for them them.
Fair enough (for them). But why in the civilized world would anyone need running water? There's no shortage of people who would be happy to have a job filling buckets from a well for you if you don't want to do so yourself.
So why are they spending all this money on this nonsense?
Why does an open source project magically need more programmers because it has become popular? What's wrong with the 25 guys that have obviously been doing a kick-ass job with Tomcat? Throwing more bodies at it will just lead to bloatware.
Unfortunately with its tendency to test out every possible variation, evolution also leads to nutbags like you. Go join a suicide cult and help evolution run its course.
Your are using numbers and math and logic, so you must be right. Right?
Ever wonder why your passengers are gripping the dash, white-knuckled, screaming at you to slow down?
It's because you apparently drive at full throttle every moment you are behind the wheel.
Gas peddle down = lots of energy used.
Cruise control = very little used.
How exactly is the electron five light minutes away sent five minutes in the past?
Are you saying it was sent there at the speed of light? If so time certainly slowed down for the electron, to it the trip would have seemed to be instantaneous. But to you observing the travel from the ground, it would still take five minutes to get where it was going.
I think most people missed the fact that Meadow was pregnant.
It was mentioned that she would be running late to dinner, because she had to see the doctor, something about "Switching Birth Control Pills". On her way in, and parking her car, she was extremely flustered.
So Tony dies (all of a sudden everything just goes black, the one "creepy guy" that went into the bathroom probably came out with a gun in his hand), but life goes on (Meadow is pregnant).
Wow, some people like something you don't like. I understand completely. Great reason to get that worked up about something.
Somebody needs lots of therapy. Or if thats not available a shovel to the back of the head should do.
Gamestop alone has taken something like 400,000 pre-orders for Halo 3. That just one chain of stores. And thats just pre-order. And the game won't even be out for a few months.
The sensor bar is kind of confusingly named. The bar itself doesn't actually sense anything. It just has 2 ir emitters, the same type in your average tv remote. The wiimote picks up the signals from the emitters to find out where it is in relation to your TV. People have reportedly been successful in substituting 2 candles for the "sensor" bar. The bar does plug into the nintendo, but since the wire simple provides power, some minor hackery will allow you to plug it into an ordinary wall socket.
To borrow a theme from Carl Sagan.
Estimations are that there are 100 Billion stars in our galaxy. Thats:
100,000,000,000 -- Let's say 1 in ten of those are in a good region of the galaxy (not a bunch of cataclysmic crap going on)
Thats: 10,000,000,000 -- Let's say 1 in ten of those have planets.
Thats: 1,000,000,000 -- Let's say 1 in ten of those have a planet in the stars habitable zone
Thats: 100,000,000 -- Lets say 1 in ten of those have adequate amounts of water
Thats: 10,000,000 -- Lets say on 1 in ten of those simple life arises.
Thats: 1,000,000 -- Lets say on 1 in ten of those complex life develops.
Thats: 100,000 -- Lets say on 1 in ten of those intelligent life develops.
Thats: 10,000 -- Lets say on 1 in ten of those advanced civilization pops up.
Thats: 1000
10,000,000 planets that foster life, and 1000 advanced civilizations.

Apple has moved on to metal, black and glass for their look.
The "reply-to:" field is used by most email clients as the "Sender". You can fill out the reply-to with anything you want. No exploits needed.

The next big thing? You mean like a touchscreen ipod/phone/mobile computer? Yea that would be awesome. Apple should make one of those!!
Not just cosmic rays, normal good old nuclear decay becomes an issue. Sure the half-life on carbon is very, very long, but it does decay. And just one carbon atom decaying in a microprocessor made up of these means a broken computer.
Yes it would be a gargantuan task to power the entire country in this way.
Which means we shouldn't even try to build 1 plant.
Cause its hard and stuff.

Think of the children and outlaw engineers.
And scientists too, cause they say stuff I don't agree with.

Keep both parties feedback hidden, until both have left feedback. Zero chance for retaliation. Problem solved.

One could say that all belief in Christianity is based upon one suspicious signal from 2000 years ago that never repeated.
