A have a friend who has ALS (Stephen Hawking's ailment),...
I thought Stephen Hawking's ailment was a massive chip on his shoulder, oh you mean his lesser aliment.
Sorry it just gripes me how Hawkings can milk his condition & bad attitude so that the ignorant (read media), hail him as the greatest living physicist whilst far greater minds are never even heard of.
In other news USA Today changed their name to No Kidding.
USA today is not the best paper for eposing new trends, in the world.
Hey don't pick on them, their only doing the stories others did 3 - 5 years ago, maybe their in a time warp, or maybe their a special paper for the mentally slow.
Hang on I you got that problem over there too, weeeell Gollyy who'd a thought it Sargent Carter...
Funny how we all live in different parts of the world, but the bulk of our politicians are still the same scum of our respective cultures, (ofcourse George W Bush looks better than our PM Wee Johnnie Howard, But then Jonnie looks like a diseased gerbil, the kind of gerbil the other gerbils arn't allowed to play with in case they catch his rather spectacular mange, yep thats right that was him recently trying to have sex with George Bush's leg, <oops> sorry I'm digreesing.</oops>)
The only way to stop this shit is pick an issue like the WXYZ opps I meant the DMCA:-) and vote out as many as you can (or at least hurt em), of the sods behind it (especially senator Pluto pup the senator for Disney), then they'll listen, in other countries we start with some other nasty paid for by industry stuff, same deal, then each voting cycle punish as many of the worst whoring scum, as we can, (the issues at each point can be big or incidental, if they were paid for their vote, then they must pay), send a message to our governments that we hate the way they keep selling us out.
Ok maybe you think I'm living in La La land, but this moddel can work, we know this because it has work hundreds and thousands of times before in history, all it takes is enough people to all act in the same dirrection at the same time. It's Called Democracy.:- for those of you not living a Democracy my condolences you've got your work cut out for you, but even in your case dissenters can win, the price may be much higher though
but remember a despot is just a pot smoking politician -- (please feel free to shoot me for that pun:-)
there is no Points system for US examiners as you described......I'm a US examiner.
No wonder the Anonymous Coward, come on come out we won't hurt you we're really gentle, (keep sharping that Axe Joe, how many baseball bats we got Goerge, <evil_laugh>heee haa haaa haaaar</evil_laugh>
This whole scene is a Joke I don't trust M$ code on my box, especially with a IP connection open noway, I don't trust, this whole reach out across the net and grab GOD knows what and run it on my box.
Noway this is dumb, I find a programme I like I get it compile/istall it on my box, test it don't like/trust remove/junk it.
This way it runs faster as native code let the compiler/wigit set take care of portability, this models safer (especially if I careful who I get it from), and the codes faster most serious Java code runs like a dog. mono that Miguel I don't trust him, I don't respect him, he's either an idiot or a con artist.
But.NET is a beautiful thing. It's Java with Microsoft's blessing. And I like Sun better than MS too,... This is a good thing for Linux users. This is a good thing for Mac users. This is a good thing for everyone.
You poor, poor deluded soul,.NET is ugly and bad, Java; well yes Java is a steaming heap of shit as well, what ever the hype says, Like Sun better I liked Sun but then they created Bad Coffee (opps Java) now I hate then, Network Computer, just an attempt to rob us all blind, and take our freedom with it. Good for us only if pushing this pile of crap up hill kills M$ or at least cripples them, which it well might.
You can't honestly tell me that 80% of the desktop Linux users, dont have some sort of windows runtime on there systems somewhere so they can hop in and edit there office documents etc...
Better get your facts straight open office does fine for M$ crap formats.
I never use Bimbows for myself any more don't need it, don't want it.
Not to smart are they, people are showing strong signs of being sick of too many adds, their solution shove more of it up their noses, good one. So cleaver decrease the value to pain ratio (i.e. increase the noise to signal ratio), now what will people do; ofcourse they'll watch less, or if like here in oz (Australia) you have a free to air service with no adds except between programmes, and no comercial ones at all, you can do what my parents do, and I nearly do (except for Trek), not watch comercial TV.
who the hell are this "Christian Coalition" and why do so many people seem to fear their opinion, I'm a christian and whilst I'd like people to listen to my view point, maybe even agree sometimes (not so often that I'll feel like I have an echo), I'd really hate to think anyone feared my opinion.
But stuff differs in the states I guess, I seem to remember that a minority of rather doubtful morallity, used to call themselves the the moral majority at one time over there.
Yes abstinence does work best, but I'd push the line, abstinence is best but if you insist on not abstaining, then at least do these things, and of course apropriate sex education is a must, then they'll know what sex is. (hmmm could that have been Bill Clintons problem; maybe he really didn't know it was a sexual act:-) or pigs may fly).
Kids that don't have sex are really, really fucking tense. Have you ever talked to a guy who hasn't masturbated for a month? He's on edge like you wouldn't believe. I personally think that a lot of anger-related violence would be solved if we didn't repress such an important part of our lives.
How do you know whether or not a person has been masterbating?
maybe you read minds? Idon't
I'm a christian and I don't believe in sex out side of marriage, it hasn't made me committ a violent act yet
Show me one scred of evidence for your assumtions; the truth is your just as reactionary and "red-necked" as any moron (oops mormon;-)# ), get real problems like violence are far more complex than that, and from my pre-christian days (< 19) when I was somewhat prone to minor school yard violence, I'd say fear; fear of what others think, fear of being hurt, etc... have more to do with violence than any other cause.
This would have to be one of the rudest things I've ever seen, Anonymous Coward is right!!!, I'm not sure why you think this submitter is from a third world nation, but I know that it's not relevent to the issue, this guy has a passion for making our international system of units cleaner/tidier, lets critique that, and not make snobby, to-nose comments about his countries supposed develoupmental statis.

Just so long as I'm not normal in your Universe, I hate to think I'm normal in any Universe.

I don't care who wins this argument so long as we ozies can keep our title of speaking the worst English, where proud of that

Come on we shouldn't use technology to hurt people, instead use it to cull vermin; "Like Billy Gates"!!!
P.S. Note to mad scientists no, no need to genetically engineer us another Billy, we now understand what you get when you code for all AssHole.
There's a real geek talking
There just a bunch of suites, be a real Geek, gotta love the beige case.
You are Joking right? thats like sci-fi not even good sci-fi, demensional door ways, fun ideas but a long way from known science.
.net is crap so is java I hate the whole interpreted byte code thing, but if you want to use it thats your problem
Sadly that can't be they do do surveys etc they'd find out, rat's but it would be funny
Thats like the cat detector van isn't, "... and my Eric bieng such a happy cat ... " --- monty phython
