I live in Wisconsin, and there is a large effort to rid the Fox River of the PCBs. Most spots have around 18ppm, but the bad spots have up to 180ppm. There was just several million spent to lower the count by 5% paid for by the Department of Natural Rescouces. There are a _lot_ of paper mills right on the river, and most people are demanding that they pay for it instead of taxpayers money. This is just another reason why we shouldn't print anything out, just keep it in digital format.
You can still get SW:TPM on DVD. You can buy the japaneese version on ebay. Last I checked, they were going for around $80. It is english sound with japaneese subtitles, but if you want it bad enough to complain about it, buy it, and get a DVD player that you can disable region checking.
I am not a lawyer, but, it would seem to me that the games rules allow you to steal something from another player. When you started the game, you agreed to those rules. Therefore, the item is no longer yours. Plus, sony owns the game, your character, everything. So you probably couldn't sue.
Even if it is only because they misrepresented thier findings when they applied for the patent, it gives me confidence that stupid patents that are issued (One-click shopping comes to mind) can be overturned.
Now does not exist. Now is simply something invented by humans, and the definition of now changes for every person. For example: "Right Now, humans use airplanes to fly" (as opposed to a common space flight somtime in the future). Anyone who reads this article gets a different thought of what the now in that is. For some people, it might be this year, for some, it might be since 1923. Now only exists in a given persons head, so it doesn't really exist.
Now for time, that doesn't exist either. How do we measure time? In minutes, hours, days, months, and years. How is that time derived? Because of how often our world turns (the sun rises), or how quickly it orbits around the sun. What was time measured in before the Milky way galaxy existed? (It's about 6 billion years old, the universe is speculated to be about 12 billion years old). Time was not measured before the Earth and the Milky Way galaxy existed, so time never really existed then, and it doesn't now.
Alright, if I can be called an ignorant Linux advocate, and told not to open my cakehole again, maybe you should have checked out how it was moderated... to: FUNNY. It was a joke. Linux can't scale worth a damn to much more than 2 processors (people say four, but I still think that it only does two good, send me a quad Xeon box and I might change my mind) It was meant to make people laugh, and obviously, some moderators thought it was, but someone like you couldn't read, and take a joke, and just _had_ to tell me I'm wrong.
If (this is a big if) this thing could be made small enough, and kids in school could carry one around with a battery in their backpack, would this be another reason to install metal detectors and search backpacks in public schools? I'm a senior in High School, and the rules they make are stupid. They can install metal dectors and search backpacks because they are concerned about our saftey, and they regulate computer use and have librarians watch over your shoulder when you use a computer, will some schools be so afraid of HERF that they search you before you go into school to save the computers?
How would you teach evolution in Kansas if you were in some European country? You would have to teach it inside Kansas and then catch a flight to a European country. Well, there is long distance learning...
The words "Official Red Hat Linux" don't really mean much when I've been using linux for a few years now, and they want $80 for their "Official" CD. I can't afford that! I can buy it on eBay or somewhere else for about $5 and it's the same thing. If it's not, buy another one, then I'm spending $10, but I'm saving $70!! I can buy some new hardware with that, or I can pay for college. Their CD's used to be like $30 or something, that was reasonable, now it's really inflated. I just want the CD on hand in case I need it, and a copy works fine for me.
This guy is from Green Bay? I thought that the only thing we had in this state was beer and football... Makes me wonder if people from out of state will soon start pronouncing Wisconsin right.

I'm not saying that thats true, I'm just giving an example that I believe. Now, tell me this: how do you prove that time exists?

"The fact is, Linux has yet to prove itself at the top of the food chain, and until it can run eBay, for example, it will remain the "in-between" OS."
Umm, the last time I checked, eBay didn't stay up all that much. Maybe they should try linux.
Actually, I believe their is a car killer being researched right now, and as far as I know, it works.

Actually, I think that PGP has support in the newest version for 4096 bit encryption, or at least thats what it says I'm using.
