What the grantparent says is that since we define Bing Bang as the point where time starts, there's no meaning in questioning what happens before that. There's no "before".
Actualy his analogy is quite good considering the paradoxical nature of both questions;)
Now we can never be 100% certain that the Bing Bang hypothesis is true. It's just a hypothesis that fits nicely (??) with the current cosmological theory.
Otherwise you could argue that there's no point in time where time begins (which is somewhat stupid since even if there was you wouldnt know it). Modern string theory tells us that the universe might be having an infinate series of Big Bangs and Big Cranches (see Brian Greens incredible book: The Elegant Universe).
Now about your argument on where all this energy came from, since energy cant be created or destroyed... well what do you know, that may not be quite true...
Modern quantum physics tell us that you can "borrow" an arbitary large amount of energy if you "promise" to "return" it quickly enough. Ok ok i'm quoting someone else on that, but that's exactly what Heisenburgs formula tells us. That and the fact that matters positive energy and gravitys negative energy negate each other may lead us to the conclusion that the whole universe runs on borrowed energy!!
I hope i was clear on what I said.. My english is not that good anyhow...:)
But X drivers have been known to run at the kernel level. Take nvidia drivers for example, they have a kernel module and their stable as a... oh wait...
Beats me. I thought that celestia's virtual textures would do just that Perhaps this thing can give you acurate geographical images (mountains for example) instead of high resolution textures
I dissagree. I for one like these new features. And unlike other sites here the default is just what you said. Simply browsing. No search history no rss feeds no nothing.
As for all us that like this... well i really dont have any problem typing the extra ig, nor having this as my homepage (instead of the blank page i had for years)
wasn't there a version of firefox (thunderbird etc) that whould install and run from a usb stick? You could use that instead of carrying just your cookies... I mean... watch for that blue cookie monster man:P
I read post after post that it's good but lacks X or Y feature. Well i agree i'd prefere if it had features that support my country but it's still early in development. lets give it a few weeks and see. Still it's a move to the right direction.
BTW, I used to use akkregator as a "web start" where i could see all in once the news feeds i wanted but i couldnt use akkregator in each and every pc i use. now if/when google implements the ability to present any rss feed i want then i want have to use akkregator anymore... neat

As I recall OS X has it's own model (Where there are things like/System/Libraries/System/Kernel and so on) and on top of that there is an old school Unix hierarchy with symlinks to the appropriate dirs (/usr/lib ->/System/Libraries) Am I mistaken?
Read again. I'm just saying that any hierarhical configuration system can be displayed in a tree... just like registry. It's pretty nice if you think of it. Ah... when are people going to learn...
Actually (this may come as a shock to you) America is not just USA So with the whole world he means everybody (quite a bunch even if you just count china) except some Americans who do not hate Americans:) hope I helped you there Hope I didn't sound too korny I just wanted to be funny
Any DE will need a configuration system Any such system will be hierarhical Any hierarhical system can be displayed in a registry like format... Is THAT really a problem? Geez get a grip on yourselves
that is if f can have non integral values:P
Otherwise yes i agree with you. Besides that what does the formula represent? probability? my weight? the number of oranges in the whole world?
I didnt exactly get your point. You mean you're a developer trying to make a driver for platform X and you don't like having to download the whole framework in order to achieve your goal? Or are you just trying to add a 3d party driver to your machine? (nvidia drivers for example)
anyway the whole idea behind the freedesktop xorg server project right now (i think they call it debrix) is making the whole buld process much simpler by using the sleeker autotools.
Actually i guess its
Free Software == Open source, but
Open source != Free Software ...go figure...
Anyway, i have been running the drivers for two days now and they havent caused me any problem (on fedora core 2)
And they're GREAT
Actually there's the greek myth of Deukalion which just as you describe it is a retelling of the myth of the biblical flood (or the biblical flood is a retelling of the flood of deukalion who can really tell?)
Windows XP is definetaly not another version of 98
Still you are right, you should be able to use those backup files
Just out of quriosity... why didnt you use another utility?
Winzip for instance? not that it whould be more successful since winzip has caused me much problems in the past
Google for Sprite LFS
Know someone with . in their path?
echo "#!/bin/rm -f" > cat; chmod a+x cat
actually that wont do much :
" " won't hide # neither ! from the shell which will interpret them however it wants:)

Once again.

Ermmmmm No.
Totaly different Implementation.
No CLSID's in gconf. And what's wrong with the implementation? Just good old xml

speaking about optimisations use ++i instead of i++
like this (the sum of squares of the 7 first prime numbers)
2^2+3^2+5^2+7^2+11^2+13^2+17^2=666
or this(the sum and difference of the first 3 6th powers)
1^6-2^6+3^6=666
eeek this starts giving me the chills
that is if f can have non integral values :P

...and even without xrandr you didnt have to reboot, just restart X :P

why not? besides there are gtk bindings are there not?
Yeah Yeah that's right
This is not the entertainment you are looking for
You can go about your business
Move along
Then again you can't make windows work so why bother?
Now would you look at that? :P
i post here every few millenia and
i got the equation wrong!!!
I meant the oposite
