This comment shouldn't have been modded anything other then what it is... flamebait. For as much as people on here bash "religious zealots", 99% of the religious arguments on here are not started by the "religious zealots". Its ashame there cannot be any comments that don't lead to either M$ sucks or Religion sucks.
Well, eventually, if they are around they would find combinations that form protons, neutrons, and electrons, and miscellaneous elements and then our world. Ok, don't have much time, but this http://www.thebigview.com/spacetime/universe.html is the first link I found. It says people aren't sure whether the universe will expand forever or if it will eventually contract. Seems like expansion and contraction would help make sure the elementary units get mixed up sufficiently that they could form the combination that they are in today.
Well, wasn't the super dense clump of matter around forever? Maybe before it was a super dense clump of matter is was another universe. And maybe the 17,000,000,001st universe before this one is where we were last time we were talking about this. Well, I gotta go, the monkey wants to start typing Shakespeare again.
So if there are finite particles in this universe and an infinite amount of time, isn't there a probability of 1 that the particles will arrange themselves in the same orientation they are now at some point in the future and for that matter, infinitely more times in the future? So we will be right where we are now. Oh well, I'll finish this post then.
I'm not sure how Microsoft site licenses work so... will the guy just be paying to keep using the version of Microsoft Office he has for another xx years or is he paying to "upgrade" to a newer version of Office?
Well, I'd imagine it would be the MPAA and not the RIAA charging you for the movie. Also, are you going to watch the entire box of discs instantly or in super fast forward? If not, a pipe with enough bandwidth to support the data rate of the disc would be fine.
having not RTFA, do you "know" these are two dice bonded together? I don't think a company would claim a dual core design if it was simply two dice bonded together. I guess the price should tell the truth, well, maybe not, since they will be sold for what they can get.
Have them run as much wire as possible because it is a bear once the drywall is up. I didn't buy my house new, so I had to run all my own cable and I did so by pulling up the baseboard, notching the drywall behind the baseboard, and renailing the baseboard back up. What you might even want to consider is weather or not there is more than one location where you would possibly put your TV, if so, I would run wire to the places where the speakers would have to be for the other TV location and have them come out where the other TV location would be. Also have them put a couple Cat-5 runs and extra coax taps to the places where the TV could be.
For cable TV, the best solution is to just use the Firewire port out of the cable box. I have a motorola DCT-6200 and it sends all the broadcast HD channels out of the firewire port unencrypted (and I think law required it to stay that way). Whats also nice, is that the channel of the cable box can also be changed via the FireWire link, so no IR blaster required.
So does anybody think it would be worthwhile to put a GPU and CPU on the same die instead of two CPUs. Or even a GPU/CPU/and PPU (Physics Processing Unit previously discussed on slashdot). Maybe this would do more for the average user or gamer than two CPUs.
Within 10 minutes of implementing such an approach, an article would be on slashdot telling people to go to all Microsoft pages and mark them as spam and withing 15 minutes all Microsoft pages would be considered spam by Goooooogle.
I'm going to change my sig (well, guess I would need to make an original first) to "P.S. I know this post will get modded flamebait". It seems to be a surefire way to get modded either +5 interesting or +5 insightful
Admittedly, I worded my post wrong, but I bet if you asked the same guy that was quoted where the first life came from he would say the primordial soup, which would be in conflict to the quote that all life evolved from other life. Just my opinion.
It is a fact that all living forms come from previous living forms.
Isn't one of the the foundations of evolution that all living organisms came from a "primordial soup"? If so, that violates the "fact" that you layed out above.
My bad, mixed up the phone connectors with the ethernet connectors. Anyhow, seeing as about 99% of the RJ-45 connectors that I have seen in use (being conservative because I can't honestly say that I have ever seen a grounded RJ-45 connector) do not have grounded connectors it seems that it is pretty well accepted that in most environments, shielded cat-5 is not needed.
With differential signals, as the signals that travel over Cat-5 are, you want twisted pairs, not flat cable. The coupling between the wires of a twisted pair is what helps to reject interference. You can buy ribbon where the twisted pairs are side-by-side instead of in a round configuration, but I don't know if they make this ribbon with the characteristics required of cat-5 cable.
One reason is that there is no place on an RJ-11 connector to ground the shield. The pins are all for differential signals and the body is made of plastic.
I believe sales tax is really a "Sales and Use" tax. Meaning that you are supposed to pay taxes in the state you use the item you are purchasing. For instance, I believe if you are a Maryland resident and purchase a car in Delaware because they have no sales tax, you are required to play taxes on the car in Maryland because that is where you USE it. Now I believe there are other stipulations too, like if you paid more sales tax in the state you bought it in then you would have paid in your home state, you don't have to pay taxes to your home state.

Ok, how bout a finite number of the elementary units that make up particles and the fact that the universe isn't supposed to expand forever.
So if there are finite particles in this universe and an infinite amount of time, isn't there a probability of 1 that the particles will arrange themselves in the same orientation they are now at some point in the future and for that matter, infinitely more times in the future?

Are they upgrading their version of office or just renewing a site license so they can continue to use the same version of office?
I'm not sure how Microsoft site licenses work so... will the guy just be paying to keep using the version of Microsoft Office he has for another xx years or is he paying to "upgrade" to a newer version of Office?

Of course it had to unravel at some point, but for a good chunk of time, (whether self fulfilling or not), it was pretty accurate.

Believe it or not, most profitable businesses didn't get to the point that they are by BLINDLY supporting one supplier.
I was just waiting for somebody to post that this is really a way for George Bush to develop a robotic army to patrol the middle east.
This weeks is mega-tsunamis, just saw the show yesterday.

I actually saw Noahs ark sailing up the Chesapeake Bay.
