Sixty percent of those surveyed believe in ESP, psychic power, and alien abduction
Believing in one of these things doesn't necessarily mean that you have a poor understanding of science.
Indeed, since none of these things can be proven or disproven, a true scientist would be open to the possibility that these things could actually exist (or not exist).
Now, if you said that humans and dinosaurs were alive at the same time, or that antibiotics kill viruses; THEN you have a poor understanding of science. The former has been proven to the best of our ability, the later has been proven outright.
Not only that, but the Windows, Linux & Macintosh versions all come in the SAME BOX, so we dual-boosters can try it out on both systems.
The downside here is that Bioware may have trouble determining the number of users who use Linux vs Windows vs Macintosh. So remember: if you use Linux, remember find the little postcard, check the box next to 'Linux' and send it off.
China invades a country, and the only think you are concerned about is motherboard prices?
Hang on a second, China has not invaded anywhere I am aware of, at least not recently and it certainly has not invaded Taiwan.
I wasn't implying that China *did* invade anyone, but we've all heard the threats.
I was speaking hypothetically, just like the poster before me. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
IF China invaded Taiwan, I couldn't give a damn about motherboard production or supply chain bullshit... it's all just business and capital, and it can be replaced.
Looking at the treatment of people in Tibet, I'd be very concerned about the rights and wellbeing those being invaded.
Perhaps we'll be lucky, and the Chinese threats to get Taiwan back will simply remain threats, and the American threats to defent Taiwan will also remain threats.
Hey, if the US and China want to duke it out in a Cyberwar instead of Real War, I'd rather have the former.
I heard a rumor that China was going to attack the US Internet. I am interested in stopping this action before it gets too bad. Any ideas where can I find cheap routers and a rackmount system to protect myself?
but it will help deflate military proposals to use nuclear weapons to deflect potentially hazardous asteroids.
No it doesn't silly, it means we need to attach a bunch of paint buckets to a bunch of nuclear missles, fire the paint-missles at the big rock, and *boom* *splat*, earth is saved again!
But it won't be a Dark and Troubled Wesley until he flirts with Belana Torres (Roxann Biggs-Dawson) who then storms off the set and threatens to kill the Dark, Troubled and Horney Wesley when he takes it a bit too far...

Compiling Garnome on Sparc64 will take a similar amount of time than compiling it into packages
Do you know this for sure? Have you tried to compile Gnome on Sparc64 yourself? If it was so easy to compile Gnome onto a Solaris box, then why are their so many Solaris questions in the Gnome mailinglists?
I've compiled Gnome (but not GarGnome) on RH7.2 , and it was pretty easy. Very few problems. I tried the same thing on my Solaris8 box, and probably spent 4 hours compiling, recompiling and re-recompiling, and another 4 hours searching for packages which were required but not included with the Gnome source.
Solaris is less supported then other *nixs, and therefore has more problems. This applies to the source as well as the distributed binaries.
Heading towards Gnome2.0 , hopefully Sun will kick in some more resources to the development process, and compilation will be less of an issue.
plus how many people on sparc64 besides me want Gnome anyways?
You, me and Sun Microsystems, baby!
But honestly, I agree with you. I'm running Gnome on my Sparc5/Solaris8 box. I tried installing Gnome from Source, and I spent about 8 hours trying to fufil dependancies.
Finally I broke down and installed Ximian Gnome, which works, but is still sometimes a nightmare to maintain. Red-carpet breaks every other release, gnome-terminal won't work now (font problems)... it can be very frustrating.
It is it is... I've been reading the FAQ, and the solution doesn't work for me. Think I need to find out what my PC Keyboard -> Sun Converter Box -> Xterm is actually sending to emacs...
XEmacs works fine... my backspace error only happens with Emacs.
My workstation is an Ultra 5, running Ximian Gnome 1.4 instead of CDE (But CDE is available). I'm beta testing Ximian Gnome for our Windows-Solaris hybrid office.
I can't stand the Sun Keyboard, and I much, much prefer the feel of the MS Natural keyboard (I like the tilted, split layout, the Ctrl key is in the right place).
There are some disadvantages to my setup:
- I still need the occasional key on the Sun keyboard, so I have the Sun Keyboard, a Sun mouse, a MS Natural Keyboard and MS Intellimouse all plugged into a "Sun Interface Converter"
- You can't cut-n-paste with the MS Mouse. The middle button doesn't work, and hitting the left & right buttons doesn't work. So, I am forced to use a sun mouse (Plugged into the Converter). The Sun mouse's ergonomic styling is annoyingly bad, and it's mouse movements are very non-smooth
- Many keys on the MS Natural Keyboard don't work.
- I can't figure out how to make the ALT key work as a META key in Emacs.
- The BACKSPACE key brings up the Emacs Help File
- I can't figure out how to make use of the dead Windows95 keys, or of the Home End Insert keys, or the F1-F12 function keys
- I have this fancy scroll wheel on my MS Mouse, but I can't figure out how to use it.
Where would a poor chap like me look for help? I've been looking around, and I see alot of similar questions about this posted to Usenet, but I see few answers.
I can't even figure out where I need to go to convert these keys. Sawfish has some configuration options, Gnome has some other configuration options, I'm sure sun has yet another set of configuration options -- but I can't find the configuration command worth a damn.
Where can I look for help? What can I do?

True, why give up your own right leg when you could join the military and try to blow up your enemies right leg.
If you're lucky, you just might have a chance to get your own right leg blown off. It would be the best of both worlds! You'd be a cripple, your enemy would be a cripple, but fuck yeah, you got to ride inside of a shiny blinky deathmobile!
No, K-Mart was sued because a) the clerk was 17, which is too young to sell a gun in Utah b) the buyer was schizophrenic, it's illegal to sell a gun to a schizophrenic in Utah, and c) the seller forgot to ask the buyer for ID, which again, is illegal.
They family wasn't just suing for anything. They sued because K-Mart illegally sold a gun.
Hey man, I spent many days of my youth pouring over the AD&D rules, playing games, reading rules, debating over rules when the 3 minute encounter with the half-orc was taking 5 hours, etc etc.
And now, 16 years after I played my first game, I still remember the damn rules!
With Neverwinter nights, I finally get to make use of the part of my brain dedicated to THac0, weapon speeds, how many electrum pieces are in a platinum piece, the material components for "Burning Hands", etc.
(It's hard for me to play a live D&D game these days, so computer will do).
And the v3 rules aren't *that* much different then the v1 rules, are they?:)
That way, I can use my immmense memory of the AD&D

And alot of antivirals (Not vaccines, but the medicine they give you after you've been infected) sounds pretty hefty.
Apparently it's hard to damage the virus without damaging cells in your body as well.

If you're right, hopefully we'll see some news from the 'other' side in the next few days.
For example, picture 3294 is an exact, framed shot of the Transamerica Building.
:)
He probably had an override button, for the 'sweet' shots, otherwise, he'd just get a bunch of picutres of dirty apartment buildings.
Clay street is 3-4 lanes wide, so the chances of hitting that a 50-foot open area *exactly* when the odometer hits '.0'.
Unfortunately, according to the electronic map, the Transamerica building is in Berkeley or Richmond
Little did I know that the Transamerica building was just outside my front door.

Or else they really are using JSP and they just renamed the ASP Session Cookie.
Perhaps they did this to maintain sessions with some other ASP site of theirs.

But if it goes overhanded, it's more likely to rub against you and pick up germs before the next person uses it!
I belive this is the "Should I hang the toilet paper overhanded or underhanded" argument for the geek world.
Sounds like American high tech workers are going to have to learn to say the word "eh?" a lot."

Yeah, but is that really different then saying "Dude", "Man" or "Yeahhhhh" like we say in San Francisco?
Plus, we won't start to say "eh?" until you say "Francisco"
