If gramma's running, say, debian, it'd read like this:
"okay. In your K menu, go to run. then type in apt-get upgrade. Kay, good. it's working. talk to you later oma"
(note: i use windowmaker, and haven't touched KDE in a couple years. i may be wrong as to the location of the run command)
"This trend is only going to continue, and get bigger and badder, hell, even smaller as well. I think that sums it up for me."
Smaller? God, I hope not. as it stands right now, my cellphone is smaller than my keychain or wallet. If it gets much smaller I'm going to be dropping it my ear canal accidently and have to go to the hospital. How embarassing would that be? "Uhh... I slipped and my cellphone's lodged against my eardrum. Please take it out"
It'd be interesting to see how many patent applications that a patent examiner has to read on any given day. If it's a large number, it's possible that due to over work they just get tired of looking at the details, skim over it, and then approve it. What we need, I think, is more patent officers, and to give them time to research each patent thouroughly (including looking for prior art).
Also, allowing any schmuck off the street that passes the government job exam to do things like approve patents is probably not a good idea either. There should be some kinna certification or 1/2 year training program for this kind of job
I actually like MS VC. The IDE's niceish. I could deal with a Vi-like IDE though (which is to say a text editor with syntax higlighting). The compiler is garbage, given. The linker sucks too. But man, MSDN is the shit. If you don't know something, highlight it and press F1, and presto: everything you ever wanted to know about Foo() and then some. Man pages are good and all, but when I program for windows I'm not unhappy that they're missing. MSDN is one of the only really good things MS has done. If MS were to go belly up, it'd be the one thing It'd be the one thing I'd miss.
Yeah, but when you take into account monozygotic twin development (when they take identical twins and put them in different homes), similarities still abound. IQ has a statistically VERY signifigant correlation, as well as personality qwerks (one study, both twins walked into the ocean backwards, etc), which are not present in dizygotic twin development
It seems kinna silly if you ask me... Even if you do get someone's credit card, you can't really log on to www.enukes.com and order weapons sent to afghanistan with an american credit card.
Nope,
Logistical and programming issues aside, speech uses a different portion of the brain than typing. When you're typing, you aren't using all your mental capacities, so you have time/ability to think of other things as you do your work, instead of devoting all of it to speaking. Also, you can't speak discreetly... If I were, say, browsing porn I couldn't just sit there at work and say "Web google.com. quote free lesbian redhead porn endquote search". I can type it without anyone hearing it though.
Not to mention that I can type much faster than I can speak.
You obviously have no clue how our system works... individual MP's have no power... all the power rests in the PM's hands. All his party vote with him, or get backbenched. Unless you have enough money to buy the prime minister (like the riaa does), noone cares about you
My first Intro to Political Science class landed me a C+ in the course. The course average was C. Brutal instructor for marking (I'm failing one of his 3rd year posc classes).
We actually have a simmilar class at my school. It's intro to computing w/ windows. Strange thing though, is because it's a small school, to get enough compsci credits for it to count towards a major, you're pretty much forced to take an intro to computers course (I'm working on a Philosophy degree, but I've taken a bunch of compsci and didn't bother with anything lower to intro to OOP w/ C++, which I got an A in and only showed up to class twice)
Actually no.
In Jr. high/HS, I didn't hang out with smokers, but yet somehow I still managed to start, and I did it by myself (going to the park down the street by myself at 1am and having a smoke). I did it because I enjoy the activity. I enjoy doing something with my lips and fingers when I have nothing else to do. I used to suck on pens, a whole bunch of exploded pens later, I smoke.

Solution: Don't put it in a CDR drive when you install it. Use a regular cdrom or dvdrom, and things like this won't happen.

That's because while this is trying to bring in "poor people", AOL tries to bring in "idiots"

Look at evidence. *THEN* chose a position

Don't you think if you needed karma, you *WOULDN'T* post AC?
*shrug* I dunno... just makes no sense to me to karmawhore when your posts don't affect your karma

Naw, we watch american TV. No-one watches the CBC anymore, ever since they yanked Degrassi Jr. High, so our prospects are the same as yours.

$-43.06 ? DAMN! I should've bought all their stock at that price... they'd pay you $40/share to take it off their hands.
well that could've made more sense.
or, for that matter, any sense at all.

CompSci 101: Introduction to Windows?

Haven't you heard the song?
"Pig and Elephant DNA Just won't splice"
Actually no. In Jr. high/HS, I didn't hang out with smokers, but yet somehow I still managed to start, and I did it by myself (going to the park down the street by myself at 1am and having a smoke). I did it because I enjoy the activity. I enjoy doing something with my lips and fingers when I have nothing else to do. I used to suck on pens, a whole bunch of exploded pens later, I smoke.
This would totally violate scientific ethics (getting a group of people addicted to a carcinogenic substance), so it'll never happen
"This could be just the thing I need to start smoking. I've always wanted to smoke"
Yeah, because smoking makes you cool (tell your friends.)
"Or maybe on the Greenland icecap done in yellow snow."
That'll take 10X the number of fratboys as it does now. Madness I tell you, MADNESS!
