Dont worry, it will never be paid back , so dont bother paying your CC back either, just keep it flat, or rising with inflation. Thats the point of inflation, keep it rising faster than debt and its covered, its all relative. Dont you know all money is created out of thin air from nothing, its just carefully managed so that only worthy people get it according to their earning potential which really earns money from other credit created monies.
Like any 'explosion' fom a centre point, it goes outwards, so where is the centre of the universe, that is, a rough center like the center of a supernova. Or did it suck it self senseless in a wizzy dizzy of chaotic mess? Even then you can find the edges and compute the center. So where is this center.
As skeptics are skeptic on aliens and crop circles, everyone should still be skeptical of a universe thats so young, can you really disproove 100% that the universe isnt infinite in size, but we can only see 15b LY because of all photos dragging themselves lower into the spectrum past IR? In that case an infinite universe is impossible to see, because eventually the photos will redshift so far, they will reach zero or at least get so low as to be absorbed eventually.
What if our local 30billion wide universe is really a local trillion gallaxy cluster, and there is 100BLY gap until the next 30BLY wide cluster.
Ive known some board/system makers to real really cut corners, shaving 70cents there, 40cents there in transistors or voltage regulators that should be in X spec, but are replaced by Y spec cheap shits which have much lower tollerences and higher failure rates. Just to save a few dollars here and there to rip of customers (ie business customers)
If in 1940 they lived in tin raket old sheds or bamboo houses, do you really think they have hardcore german attitude to make goods that last 100 years? When they barely live 40.
Just hope that 747 isnt using any of that ram in its guidance systems.
Aww poor widdle SUV drivers, they cant handle $3 because their CC will bounce?
England/Europe/Australia, all citizens pay about $4.50 per gallon and are still surviving, though the govts are reaping in HUGE taxes and not using most of it for roads etc.. but for other uses.
Sometimes I wonder why americans moan about prices of things, when they earn MORE than most in the world and get most things cheaper than everyone else (except housing).
Welcome to the real world, $4.50 gas, and $2.50 burgers and dohnuts, not 99c.
So all these years later, and NONE of the shells do a trap for rm -Rf/, even the rm command should prevent that or at least ask an interactive question.
I dont think the guy said, make every service run as root, I think he meant running your X/apps as root.
But I like the OSX model of asking for the root password, though once I lost it and I actually used a normal user account to 'reset' the root password to what I wanted to - All I did was copy the crypted string of USERX into the string for ROOT in some System Admin Config util there and bingo I got root access easily....
Tonnes of pension funds find it easy to invest in MS and keep it safe. But now there are more and more oldies 'expiring' and cashing out to their kiddies spending/credit cards.
Theres not enough current notquitesooldies to keep the funds up and buying the stocks of the kiddies.
Any trade in 'virtual goods' back and forth is just a pyramid scam, todays winners taking from tommorows winners, aslongas theres an increasing amount of new 'suckers'. ie population growth.
This plan falls apart once you have flat population growth.
Its time corporates died and there were 100000s more tiny companies out there.
what is wrong with a bit of healthy critism, why is it opensource people are so anal and testy when someone makes a valid suggestion, "oh piss off, why should we enhance add this to xyz, we are king dicks here"
Wake up developers, if 50% of people have to install a WMV plugin, or SWF, then damn well either have it pre-packaged, or have a sleak auto install method that works, (and doesnt just go to another website)
Oh and fix the 250meg memory usages, how about a setting in Firefox that says - Do not use more than 90meg of ram. So then it can free crap it doesnt really need, or how about a real real real real smart cache, like a list of websites to keep as higher priority to cache.
Those StraLites can do this, their only 140000ft high, maybe too far, but just boost the signal perhaps, at least to augment more signal space perhaps.
If possible, have hull changing colors to represent heat or stress.
Sure the ship wont be 'white' but wierdo colors, so get off the high horse on 'visual cuteness' and make it work. There are plenty of none-electronic tricks you can do for feedbacks/status.
is it our fault our english language is the biggest POS patched crap ever?
Its not like it has defined rules and thats it, it has 200000 extensions, much like the 8086 set;)
I say do away with all wierdo extensions, and keep it simple and ruly, who cares if some words begin to sound strange, like cactuss. Just because some peoples brains are too rigid to accept unusuall looking words they had to add new rules.
I read somewhere that if you create a negative ion field around the space ship as it re-enters, it lowers the air resistance, therefore causing the ship to 'increase' in speed as it enters the atmosphere but at the same time causing less friction on the whole ship, so a purpose built 'slow-down break' could be deployed or the ion field reduced in strength to control the slow down.
Well, we can still tax the $500k+ people, they wont miss 20% really.
How can we afford this? well, not now, because of debt, you will notice that debt interest paid out (around $360b/quarter) is the same as income tax collected.
So they can do 0% income tax, though you would still be left with SS, and sales taxes and perhaps state taxes.
But its too late, everyones been made into a tax/inflation slave.
We have a massive amount of sats/weather sats/mapping sats everything around earth, yet NOTHING thats permanent around the moon, and yet we have 3 around MARS.
Are nasa people just utterly stupid, or are they hiding stuff for the pentagon/DoD and their secret current moon bases? (budgets of $4 trillion in 10 years has to yeild more than NASAs results). Are they conditioned to think the moon is dull and boring? Do the upper managers kiss butt to DoD and their area-51 buddies? (remember a lot of nasa astranoughts are ex-military pilots).
It would not have been hard to build a good sat/comm/mapper for the moon to be permanently orbiting it. $250m, + launch, bingo its done.
They could make a 10inch mapper, since there is no atmosphere it could orbit closer and how hard is it to make good zoom scopes any way. Its close enough to transmit at real high speeds 10mbit/100mbit.
Why is it that a female can explain/talk for 15mins about a point or idea that a male can 'optimize' (gcc -O9) and say in 3minutes without diverging to 200 other subpoints.
Pretty soon, the worlds computers/robots will have ALL the cash, and us humans will have no jobs, no cash and be their slaves keeping the electricity grid up, but still perhaps own some shares to live of that.
I suspect they have a quota, so if they have a max of 25 stories a day or 8/4hr block, any more than that that are older than 24hrs get trashed to rejected due to too old.
Its just my guess... otherwise they could fill 200 usefull good articles a day.

How will the 400mbs firewire handle it or the 600mbs SATA?
This is the tip of an ice berg

Might be a bit high for laptops to send to.
Maybe she saw all those boys getting millions from Jackson and thought, darn, its that easy eh... fake suit, earn some dollars

but can you just use grape seed oil or canola? or even olive oil?
There isnt one, its a rolling IOU banner.
Its just one big excell spreadsheet, no real $$$ in any real account, USA is running worse than legal dodgy enron style accounting.
well, if you can win the lotto, then we can randomize the key space, and maybe thru luck and will of god, hit a jackpot and get a key by magic.
Elimitate the obvious keys that wont work like '000001212121212'
Might be faster just to mug the head programmer on his way home though.
to piss of sony, after all they are part of the consortium , ahhaahahahha
China will use an army of 20000 math geniuses to crack it just so they can make their own standard HDDVD to rival the USA standard ;-)
I am sure 11.g would work on the moon.
For longer distances, just use a custom made microwave link, cables are for the 19th century.
But dont they hae a radar/elavation map of the moon? cant they run a sim to find out whats 100% lit?
I could see it now.
Too much bud on 4th july.
Commander: Bob, I dare you to run onto the moon for 5 seconds and roll around in the dust, and run back in , ehhehhe
Bob: ok dude, here i go, "Ksheeeeeshhh"
Like pre 1900, zero income tax can be done.
