No point in my arguing, you're a bit more informed than I am, I'll probably just make a fool out of myself again. In any case, it's a relatively small change. Why are people so against bringing laws and tradition into a state where they no longer contradict each other?
Hold on a sec. If it was put in in the 50's, that would mean that it wasn't there longer than it has been there. If they changed it then, why not put it back? That would be the real culture and tradition that we need to worry about messing with. Then again, why are we trying to keep these entirely human ideas set in stone? People change, times change, our ideas change. Since we are the ones following the traditions, why should they not change as well?
Sorry buddy, junk science can be employed by both sides. The only difference is that the pro-GM side has real science to go along with the junk science.
Thanks for the rant, It was nice and intellegent. I'd agree with you too. I think hiding things that we don't agree with won't make them go away. Open, calm and balanced debate's the best way to go. You won't always turn out to be right, but if you can't deal with that, why are you bothering thinking about science anyway?
Thanks again, it's always good to read something that makes ya think.
I think you need more than one breech, so you can have pants. Oh, you were talking about a hole. Breaches can be bad too, but "They've sued for pants of contract" is so much funnier.
Sometimes it's easier than that. In some cases, you can tell because they are wearing mostly black (Sorry Matrix fans, it's a little different for you), or maybe they have facial hair where the good guys don't. To make it even more obvious, many times the good guys will be wearing white hats and the bad guys black ones.
I hope this primer on Good Guy/Bad Guy style will help in your future takeover plans or while saving the world, depending on your alignment.
"Rob Enderle?"
"Yeah, that's me."
"You're a jerk."
"What?"
"You're a jerk, a complete kneebiter."
At this point Wowbagger, turn around, get in the ship, and fly away. It should leave him thoroughly confused.
This stuff makes for good encryption tho. Understanding this stuff in real-time is a challenge. It would be an interesting research paper, if the researchers would stop getting shot.
I don't think that there isn't any intent to profit, because that wouldn't work to well for a business. I think that there just isn't any direct profit. Like you said, it's a misguided attempt at regaining profitability, so this is probably a short-term (and highly expensive gamble) that they hope will end up beefing up long-term cash flow.
I've found what works best for mormons in this area is to research some of their leaders' (past and present) mistakes and talk about them. Another good idea is to put a large pentagram up near the front door. And, if you're feeling geeky, you might try opening up counter-strike (or any other game with real-world weapons) and spectating a match with the sound up real loud.
that's a pretty cool idea. With enough processing power and an embedded microphone, you could probably build or download visualizations and have your shirt do trippy stuff in reaction to the sound around you.
Who's to say he didn't? Just think about it. Some guy with a beard and a toga, laying down in the grass, almost like he's asleep. He opens his eyes suddenly, then in ancient greek, "I know kung fu." He then attempts to fly off a cliff and dies, saving the grecian leaders from having to kill him themselves. The End.
I think you're accurate on most of your points, but which incarnation of windows are you talking about? 95/98 both have multi-user capabilites kludged on, meaning everyone is admin. I'm not sure about 2000, but on XP, when new users are created, they default to admin status. Microsoft's got some responsibility there. Maybe not all, but that is still a problem.
In other news, irony strikes again as Hollywood writers begin forming scripts by taking these questions and running with them. Most of these writers will have no knowledge of the requisite science, and more than a few will not even realize that half of these have been tried before. If you see one, shoot them on sight, for they are considered extremely dangerous. Film at 11.
Shouldn't it be something like "Gnu's Not Unix Not Unix Not Unix Not Unix Not Unix Not Unix Not Unix Not Unix Not Unix Not Unix Not Unix Not Unix Not Unix Not Unix Not UnixSTACK OVERFLOW ERROR" Compiler Collection?
Not just vote, but personally, I'd vote for the non-incumbants in everything just to keep things fresh. If you keep new people in goverment and get rid of the old cruft (Strom Thurmon, anyone?) You've got a much better chance at having new ideas introduced and embraced. Unfortunately it's still money driven, but voting in new people will at least change where the money's coming from.
I don't know how widespread this is, but my LUG does Install Fests every few months. Newbies are encouraged to come to get face to face help when installing linux, and the experienced people hang out and swap geeky jokes ("Hey, can I get a buck for a soda?" "Sure thing buddy, just stay of the LSB.") while bringing newbs into the fold. I had a great time at my first one, and I'd definitely recommend bringing it up with your local LUGs.
Too nice? You've never seen it at any parties. That G5 is a JACKASS when it gets drunk. Hell, last time I ran into him, he stole my date and puked on my shoes. In that order.

Myth or no, it makes a good example of mob/group mentality...or a lack of mentality, however you want to see it.
Well, if this follows the BTTF paradigm, then things are looking up for the third movie, eh?

Sorry buddy, you're totally off. It's more around 70%.

Ah, Coast to Coast. Who doesn't like hearing paranoid delusions as they try to get to sleep?
I wonder if it was a good idea for someone to leave their buddy list open while taking a screenshot? They could be aliases, but still...
Java, eh? Perfect! I don't have to spill coffee on my computer anymore, it's built-in now!
But you're Dr Who! What the hell does the US have to do with you?
