or you cna just use the command line. It takes years to learn how to design a good anything, but weeks to learn the tools. With a good grounding in the theory of computation, a new language should should take a week or two to learn, while a new environment (IDE) should take a day.
Pfffff..... how can the earth rotate if the earth is flat?!?! The realities of the earth have been established a long time ago; it is a plane board, sort of like a game board mounted on top of an infinate tower of turtles. All this stuff about the earth being round? Reactionary bull shit. Check out the truth:
A flat earth, it's not just a good idea; it's the truth.
I agree wholly with this point. The trouble is, with 3d rendering technology creating more and more realisitc images, it will be difficult to tell the difference between animation and live action.
Maybe it's time for the academy to get with the times and give awards based on context. Even if the movie is theoretically animated, if it looks like live action or is based on live actors, it should still count as live actions. We're getting to the point where theres two different types of digital cinematography: The stuff thats supposed to look animated and the stuff thats supposed to look digital. I mean, most stuff on TV like news or some TV shows are shot in front of green screens with the background added in later. The lines are too blured to try and maintain two different categories.
Does google embraces this form of use?
What about all the legal bs lately about altering the look of a website, does this apply to search results?
Actually, since google is this free and open company, they do embrace it. Just check out their terms of service.
Pffff, Google's code is so secure that you wouldn't be able to get rid of Google's ads anyways. Besides, why would you want to hack such a free and open company?
But since most of us geeks are pretty inept when it comes to anything physical, I still think my pancakes gonna land on the floor, no matter what formulas I apply.
Now if we could only have some kind of a pancake flipping robot.....
Yeah and driving around in you're SUV to go get it. Fortunatly, the unproductive Starbucks culture died with the dot coms, you're the last remaining dinosaur.
Dude, you can live off lawn grass and rain water for free if you like, and yet, for some odd reason, you're not doing it.
Is that because you might actually pay for something that is otherwise available for free if the quality of that product is offered at a price you consider worth spending on it? Gasp...
But that the whole point! If a loaf of bread cost 50 bucks, I just might be out there chewing grass, especially since I've been use to paying 2 bucks for the same thing a short while ago.
It's the same thing with CDs (and this service). Back before CDs came out, you could buy an LP for 4-6 dollars, times were good and music was cheep. Then the CD came out, and because we have to pay for the 'new technology', CD prices went up to 14 buck and NEVER CAME DOWN.
IT's no different with this new music service; the average CD has about 15 songs on it... that 15 bucks to download some tracks. Nothing has changed?
Until prices come down to something I'm willing to pay, I'll be out there chewing on grass, and downloading through Kazaa light.
It's amazing, with all modern the 3d shooters out there that people would be bothered moding doom, and yet here we are. I really looking forward to playing this... doom was a great game, a lot better and more original than most of the shit being made now. I can't wait to play it!!!!
Last time I tryed to compile something under the influence of (way too much) wine, I ended up on the floor infront of my computer. All I remember was waking up to a formatted hard drive; compiling under the influence of wine sucks!

The trouble with the Stirling Engine it's that while theoretically it should have Carnot (maximum) efficiency, in practice it generally doesn't. The problem is that for a Stirling engine to be effective you need isothermal heating and isothermal cooling during the process, as well as perfect regeneration (the heat lost during the cooling stage transfered to the heating stage); such things are very difficlut to do due to heat losses, and friction.
Concequently, a real Stirling engine does not have efficiencies that are significantly better than other closed cycle engines such as the Otto (you're regular gas burning car engine) and the Diesel; a 'cheep' stirling like they have in my school actually has a tremendously low efficiency (~10 %) as compared to Carnot (~30-40%).
Technology ofcourse is changing and things are getting better, but as of today; using the Stirling engine to increase efficiency is rather pointless.

A question one must ask one's self is when does a research result or algorithim or something stop being a matematical or scientific process, that should be shared with everyone and when does it become intelectual property?
I mean, the 'breast cancer gene' has been patented, the harvard mouse too; not to mention all of the computer algorithims that are patented. Whatever happened to the notion that mathematics and science should be shared with everyone? The scientific community has functioned on the 'open source' model for hundreds of years, but it seems that thanks to the concept of 'intelectual property' this is all changeing.
Really, I mean some of these patent claims are analogous to Newton/Leibnits attempting to patent calculus or Feynmann trying to patent his discoveries in quantum electrodynamics.The point is when does intelectual property become a rediculous concept, or is it a rediculous concept from the very begining?
I wonder if this is with or without the support of our friends at the RIAA. I mean after all, the data being stored may violate copyright laws... a list of songs on a CD, maybe some sample lyrics, all without the approval of the goons in the RIAA.
It's probably a non issue, then again the RIAA has a record of making big issues out of non-issues. It will be interesting to see if anything will happen.
Warner music is one of the most imortant members of the RIAA
AOL is a part of the AOL-Time-Warner corporation; so is Warner music. Is there therefore a conflict between divisions of the company? Hmmmm... me thinks it's time to sell my ATW stock.... wait, I don't have any anyway.
So I buy an X-BOX, buy the chip, and then install a linux based bios.... on what amounts to a shitty celeron based machine? I don't know... seems kind of weird.
I'd rather get a good machine, install linux... and NOT pay microsoft 300 bucks for sub-standard equipment.
I'm gussing most people who do this sort of thing are the types who would love to see Microsoft fall... if that is the case, don't give them your money.... no matter how cool your modded X-BOX will be.

Why not just burn coal?
It's just as bad for the environment, and not nearly as smelly.... I don't really want to smell the fumes of burning shit, thank you!

Actually 99.5 percent aren't homosexual. The 'one in ten' is a skewed statistic, read about it here.
Hope that clear stuff up... by the way I'm not against gay people... but I think people should get their facts straight.
Anyone else notice they're being hosted by CCCP?
