maybe it's because Apple Records (records? what the fug is a record?)
It's short for "recording." A recording is the product of a "recording
studio," where artists go to sing and play instruments. The sound is captured by a "recording engineer." The "recording" is then distributed
to the public by various means (mp3, CD, radio).
Lets put it this way, humans are not going to ever loose their pinky finger if modern society goes on the way it is.
No, but the bulk of the species is likely to die out, either from pollution-triggered environmental disasters, or from a nuclear war. The characteristics of homo sapiens that have worked so well for us (tool-making, aggression, short-range planning), have suddenly become negative in this new environment of "the planet is full and your latest tools can trigger a mass extinction."
Most games overdo stuff with graphics when they could focus on content.
Yah--it's like TV. The problem with my TV can't be solved with a Wide Screen, HD Plasma Monitor, it can only by solved by the producers hiring some writers.
I've got the Gigabyte 6800, and had no trouble unlocking the other 4 pipes (via some software called "RivaTuner"). It's still not a 6800 GT, though, because of the slower RAM.
it is clearly 8.5"x11" or bigger. That is a HUGE remote and no one would buy it (especially people who tend to appriciate industrial design, like Apple). Steve wouldn't let the thing out of the door unless you could watch the video ON THE REMOTE, and then what would be the point?
Yah, you're on to something. It's the Video iPod, I bet.
it was just a small sadistic bunch of people who broke the law
So, you're of the opinion that it's just a coincidence that the abuse began after that Colonel from Military Intelligence from Cuba visited to give advice on how to get "actionable intelligence" from the Iraqis?
Times had 38 cover stories on abu ghrab prison scandal, yet an illegal immigrant murders a mother of three and her three children by BURNING them to death and nobody bats an eyelash.
See, in a democracy (or even in a republic), when the government violates the law, the people need to know so they can decide whether it's time to change governments. When an individual criminal violates the law...well, it's still news, but it doesn't have the same level of import and urgency.
Yeah, it wasn't the sexual content, it was the subversive nature. They were making fun of the nutjobs that got upset by Janet Jackson the year before. That's not allowed.
In a theoretical new American Revolution, there would certainly be a number of turncoat Colonels in the National Guard, so the rebel forces would have access to a level of military hardware similar to that available to the Mujahadeen.
In addition, there would be plenty of foreign aid; if the revolution started today, Iran and North Korea would both be delighted to provide aid to the rebels. If the fighting dragged on for several years, as with the first American Revolution, one of the European powers might join the other side, just as happened in the 18th Century.
This kind of reasoning assumes that the revolution had justification; i.e., that a new Declaration of Independence could be written, with a legitimate
set of grievances. I don't believe anyone could write that document yet.
"Open source is best, paying for software is dumb and evil!"
It's not about the money. RMS has no problem with
the price of RHEL. If you'd read the article, you'd have seen this:
"...the fundamental freedoms that define free software: freedom to run the program as you wish for any purpose, freedom to study and change the source code as you wish, freedom to make and redistribute copies, and freedom to publish modified versions."
I've always been a big believer in "Cats need to go outside to remain sane." Then I had 2 dumb cats run down by cars in 3 years (maybe 3...we never found the third body.) They just had no fear of cars.
Fortunately, the current cat is terrified of going outside; he nearly ripped my arm off when I tried to carry him to the back porch.

An object in motion tends to remain in motion unless acted on by an external forces, and energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
For gaming, dual Opterons will actually be slower than a single Athlon FX-57. Games are single threaded, so clock-speed and cache are the thing.
If you plan to play a DVD while uncompressing a 4 GB tar file and compiling a new kernel, well, then dual dual-core Opterons are your boy.
Maybe they ate *flying* fish.

Sure...the major use of the shuttle missions is now to figure out how to keep the shuttle healthy.
I dunno, plants do a pretty good job of it.
Well, I suppose they could use the wiretap to gain enough evidence to decide to tell the Air Marshall on the plane to shoot the guy in the head.
And this somehow distinguishes them from every other human endeavour?
...is that the 6800 GT is about to get $100 cheaper!
Sure, since 50 years ago (1955), it was pretty much like it is today...well, except for the Internet, the Cold War and Globalization.
It's a joke, son.

That's my prediction--the new Apple vPod will have an Intel chip.

I think the "detect OpenOffice.org executible and refuse to start it" feature is still in there.

Geez, I wonder why the Soviets didn't explain that to the Afghanis. Seems like it would have saved a lot of bloodsheed.

That's what Free Software is about.
Jeez, is that ever true. The testosterone leaking from that post is making me dizzy.
