I didn't know 60 mph was close to c. Maybe for large values of 60?
Or relativistic hours? I mean 'miles per hour' for a person travelling at relativistic speeds would be different from 'miles per hour' for a non-relativistic observer wouldn't it, since time dilation would mess with the hours? Or something like that?
I respectfully disagree. A lot of people care about the entire 'experience' of Apple products, from the quality packaging, to the clean, amazing hardware, to the OS.
I am 100% with you there, I mean how many PCs do you open up and it says "Designed in California"?? And you can just imagine the bikini-clad chicks and smell the sunblock and hear the surf calling to you.
The Mac OS X EULA says you can only run the software on Apple hardware.
I don't get it.
If I run Firefox on an XP virtual machine running on Apple hardware, then that instance of Firefox *IS* running on Apple hardware; it uses Apple memory and CPU in order to do its thing.
If I run OSX in a virtual machine running on Apple hardware then OSX *IS* running on Apple hardware, surely this is the end of the story?
Unless Apple *specifically* exclude virtualisation, I think its a red herring.
Are you beginning to see the picture? Certainly Christianity has a checkered past, but it embraced the Enlightenment and Reformation. It has moved past its sins. But Islam remains rooted in a violent medieval mindset.
Or, alternatively, you could say that Christianity no longer takes itself seriously and that Islam takes itself way too seriously...
The Irish conflict was not one of religion. The IRA did not kill based on religion. It was (maybe still is) about political independence and secession from the UK.
The fact that it happened to be Catholics vs Protestants was merely an accident of history, not due to religious doctrine.
Thats why the 'Protestant' paramilitarys were referred to as "Loyalists"; because they were "Loyal" (under a very wierd definition of the term) to the crown (of the UK). Whereas the 'Catholic' paramilitarys wanted independence and (re)unification with Eire.
Ok maybe '94 or so, it was a long time ago. You are right; this was a Linux box I was running it on.
But I had a PC with, at the time, a huge amount of memory, running Linux and I thought StarOffice would be a great tool. It crippled my computer whenever I ran it.
So in the meantime I am currently undecided, a fact for which my Christian friends tell me I am undoubtedly going to hell for.
Ok well how about this line of reasoning...
God must be perfect and omnipotent.
A God which is limited in some way, ie there are things that this God cannot do is less then perfect, is not omnipotent.
A God which is bound by logical necessity is limited; there are things which such a God cannot do.
But a God which is not bound by logical necessity is not limited; it can do anything, even things which are contradictory such as creating a rock so heavy that he cannot lift it and *still* be able to lift it.
However, a God which is not bound by logical necessity cannot exist (nature abhors a contradiction as much as it abhors a vacuum).
Therefore the *most* perfect God is the God which does not exist. Since this God is not bound by logican necessity, this does not matter to it as it embraces all contradictions.
Hence, a God which does not exist is more perfect than a God which does exist and therefore God does not exist.
Or maybe it had something to do with the fact that OpenOffice was based on StarOffice? You know, the Office Suite that was developed back in 1986?
The crazy thing was that -- as advanced as StarOffice was for 1986 -- it consumed memory at a prodigious rate. 128M just after the application started, before you started doing anything.
In 1986 128M was a HUGE amount of memory by any desktop standards.
Cartoon Network stand up to the stupid city of Boston!
Since obviously Boston must be right at the top of every terrorists hit-list it is the duty of every citizen of Boston and every visitor to Boston to report to the authorities every single cardboard box, plastic bag, discarded supermarket trolly that they see left unattended anywhere in the city.
Everyone in Boston, DO THIS one simple thing and the terrorists will soon have lost!
If wars were won by feasting,
Or victory by song, Or safety found in sleeping sound,
How England would be strong! But honour and dominion
Are not maintained so. They're only got by sword and shot,
And this the Dutchmen know!
The moneys that should feed us
You spend on your delight, How can you then have sailor-men
To aid you in your fight? Our fish and cheese are rotten,
Which makes the scurvy grow-- We cannot serve you if we starve,
And this the Dutchmen now!
Our ships in every harbour
Be neither whole nor sound, And, when we seek to mend a leak,
No oakum can be found; Or, if it is, the caulkers,
And carpenters also, For lack of pay have gone away,
And this the Dutchmen know!
Mere powder, guns, and bullets,
We scarce can get at all; Their price was spent in merriment
And revel at Whitehall, While we in tattered doublets
From ship to ship must row, Beseeching friends for odds and ends--
And this the Dutchmen know!
No King will heed our warnings,
No Court will pay our claims-- Our King and Court for their disport
Do sell the very Thames! For, now De Ruyter's topsails
Off naked Chatham show, We dare not meet him with our fleet--
And this the Dutchmen know!

So, I don't see Gnome as an improvement over Windows in terms of usability.
Gnome is just Vista for Linux.
You can't just accelerate a few particles to high energies and say you are done. You're looking for rare processes
Unless you are just looking to punch great smoking holes in tanks or something?

Why do you have to cut it in half?
So I can glue it to the case more easily.
Duh!
In fact I might even set up a website devoted to encouraging hatred of censorship.
Guess I better not go to Norway...
I've used VMWare and Xen and Xen definitely works far better for my purposes.
Performance is hardly an issue and Xen is far easier to manage, its *open* and it works.
The only benefits of OS X are software, the hardware is the same as any other Intel PC these days, just has a different shiny wrapper on it.
A shiny wrapper that says "Designed in California"!!!
Anybody who has used much virtualization knows it's not as good as running the OS on hardware.
Dude!
You must have been running VMWare! Try Xen.
The less physical hardware I have in my machine room, the better. Every time we kick a server out of the room I celebrate.
I respectfully disagree. A lot of people care about the entire 'experience' of Apple products, from the quality packaging, to the clean, amazing hardware, to the OS.

How about if I cut *an* apple in half and stick *that* on my PC?
Did not a big fat pantsless red guy named Allen not teach us that sock puppets hold the key to world peace?
Shame on the EU.
I've just installed and trialed beagle.
Its a nice start.
Someone let me know when theres a web-based interface.
No, Christianity DOES take itself seriously.
Well ok.
But noone else does...

It was not a religious conflict.
So Mormons are Christian pretty much in the same way that Muslims are Christian.
And as much as Christianity is a sect of Judaism.
Honestly, I've known Christians who claim just that... ie that they are Jews.
Ok maybe '94 or so, it was a long time ago. You are right; this was a Linux box I was running it on.
But I had a PC with, at the time, a huge amount of memory, running Linux and I thought StarOffice would be a great tool. It crippled my computer whenever I ran it.
Emacs + Latex was way more useable.
Why does there have to be an end? Why cant it be turtles all the way down?
Turtles all the way up too...

QED.
Who needs those complicated science models. Three words, no models necessary: "God"
Its the ultimate Occams Razor.

And why do you suppose it consumed so much RAM?
Couldn't be anything to do with java, could it?

The court system isn't fun for anyone....the victim, the criminal, their families.
Oh I don't know.
Judge Judys court is downright hilarious!
Try Rudyard Kipling for a taste of how the old Navy fared :)
