First of all, if they are talking about 3D storage, how come they keep refering to how much a cradit card surface will store? Pull out your credit card, if you have one. And if you don't, look at mommies. First take a look at the thing, wow, pretty small, right? Now, turn it on it's side, no, better yet, lay it down. Good.

My next pet project: put a linux box on a novell based network. Should be fun . . .
On many counts, I have to agree with you, but, and this is a huge but:
Very few people should be seen as people, men or women. 99% of people are stupid 100% of the time. Women screw up by dating assholes. Men screw up by, well, just being men.
I don't need to respect that.
But, then again, if I were a chick, I'd have to be a lesbian . . .
I see women as people just as much as I see men, rarely.
Ghandi had a good thing, when asked about western civilization: "That is a good idea."
Just because a woman is 40 does NOT mean she is married or boring. I totally have to agree with you here, totally. Where I go to college, there are plenty of interesting older women, plenty. But . . . I am not attracted to them. Totally not, absolutely positively not. One of my better friends at school is a 40+ year old woman poet/writer/musician, and she is wonderful. Do I want to get in a relationship at my age (20) with a person the age of my mother? Hell no. I'll tell you why. I'll be the first to admit I have a rather odd preference in my partners, and older men or women typically don't have some of the traits that I am looking for in a love. (I could list them, but what would be the point?) Of course I COULD find an older woman with the traits I find attractive, but I don't need to, because I've found one only slightly older (1 month, hehe, she's old). Part of me just is happy with the woman I got, and I don't care if she's 20 or 200. But, if I lost her, I wouldn't look for an older woman to replace her. I'd find a woman who is attractive to me on her own merits. Some people just don't like certain age groups when it comes to, uhh, mating. I like them like me:young, creative in their own way, and wackier than an Animaniacs cartoon. Thanks for your time
Wait, their gonna remove them from my girlfriend?!? You bastards.
Theatres have a right (as I do) to deny service to ANYONE. I have a right to see a movie. Theirs is private property, if they don't want me there, that's fine, I can go elsewhere, if I still want to see the movie.
They (speech and property) are rights that bump into each other. I would deny service to anyone I pleased. If I owned a theatre, I'd stand by the door and ask people that made fun of me in high school to leave.
Theatres don't make money from movies, they make it through concessions (spelling? soda and popcorn, ya know?). I sure as hell wouldn't want some stinkin' hippie or slobbering Republican on my property.
Oh, evolve, who says we don't have that right? You? The government? The Bible? Jeez, man, or woman, think about it for a second, we "play God" every day. Every time we go faster than we can run, we're doing things outside our physical bounds by using tools and our minds.
You want something to blame, look at your thumbs. And if you still think we shouldn't be playing god, don't ever ask for a organ transplant.

Not very interesting. He wrote what, seems to me, at least, is a very intelligent and thought out argument and warrents further discussion.
In a few words, get off your box, what's best will win, and I have a feeling what will win hasn't even been released yet.
(mainly for time sensitive service related issues). Billing, bah, we don't need no stinkin' bills. And what about the computers that run our nuclear generating stations? Have you thought about them? Indeed I have, actually, right after I posted, I remembered that there's one about, oh, 30 miles from where I live & work. Doh? Doh. Indeed, there are many computers in the electrical grid - if you think otherwise, you need to wake up to the truth! "You want the truth? You can't handle the truth! Bah! I deprive your truth handling abilities!" But, on a lighter note, I don't think that many computers are on major parts of the grid, because if there is, then they're stupid, because computers crash (yes, all of them, I never got a "kernel panic" in windows or Be, I'll tell you that.) All you really need for a power plant is some fuel and a generator, a computer complicates things unneccisarily (I can never spell that word). But then again, I just talked to the guy from Commonwealth Edison about this very issue, so what do we know? later
Heh, that's what they thought when the Y2K issue was started. "These systems will no longer being in use."
For the record, I'm going to New York City.
Power probably won't go out, wanna know why? When was the first time that a power system used a computer? They sure as hell didn't start with 'em.
There was a huge panic at what problems may occur, and then we realized that the problem was actually really small, and then we realized that it's easy to fix, well, mostly.
The bank I work for is pretty good for y2k, regulators say that we're "better than anyone else we've seen. They offered me double-time to stay here and work on the 31st. Fuck that, man, I won't have another chance for something like this.
Then again, I wrote a proposal for them to send me to New Zealand with a laptop on US-central time, just so I can report in first hand, and have a little fun too . . . of course, I'd need some company . . .
Of course, I totally accept everything you say now, coming from a person that doesn't realize Canada isn't the 51st state. Toronto, Montreal (last time I was into baseball the Expos were there, I think), have baseball teams, duh.
I know it's football, and it's soccer, and Americanisher Football, and they're all stupid.
Oh, man, saw Muppets last night, Eyes Wide Shut day before, and Drop Dead Georgeous friday.
Drop Dead: Funny, very.
Eyes Wide Shut: saw it in an Amerikan theatre, umm, never been carded (never). Sucked, badly. Kubrik, man, you made good movies, but you needed to hire a composer that can play more than 6 notes, repeatedly. Yeah, I know you're dead. Lighting was good.:-)
Muppets, man, more screwed up than South Park, any day.
The whole gist of the thing (if you leave out the first two, which I think are the only ones actually to talk about God), is for us to be good to each other. Well, then I guess we should all believe Mein Kampf because he makes and insightful comment on page fourty-two. Besides, it is a blatent symbol of the Bible, the most vile (plenty of violence), disturbing (The "let's seduce our father" scene is particularly objectionable), and irresponsible (follow blindly your parents, lest ye be stoned [ya know, throw rocks at ya]) book of all time. And this book is everywhere, it's in unlocked drawers in every Hotel, Motel and Inn in America (and the world?). Children can get at this! We must protect the children and ban this horrible book! I will not accept hostility toward my beliefs in God any more than I will against my beliefs for the Free and Open Source software communities. Boy, am I in trouble! Wow. Uhh, I'm not hostile, just don't legislate my belief. I'm not hostile until I feel threatened, and boy, am I glad that I can home school my kids when (more likely if) I have them. Thanks for your time:
I can prove that Thomas Jefferson openly supported religon in schools and government support of it. Original intent was that no religon be given preference or rammed down student's throats. And I can make up the same quotes you do on my side, but it is still the seperation of church AND state, not church from state, not state from church, but mutual seperation of church and state. And besides, what preferences is there with the 10 commandments? Jew or Christian? That's no choice at all. marketing of trash like the South Park movie to people of that age. Sometimes I wonder if people have seen the movie. I wonder if they see the satire. I wonder if it's intentional, but who cares? Go read a copy of "A Modest Proposal" by J. Swift. It's only a few pages, hope you have the patience and ability. Seperatist and atheist:

I agree with this; I have issues with integration.
We here at work buy computers from a company called gateway, maybe you heard of them . . . I have NO PROBLEM with this standard here at my place of employment, it simplifies my life, esp. when there is only 2 other real employees in my department and an inept teenager who got his job because his mom is the president's secretary.
Do I sound bitter? Sorry . . .
Gateway just came out with these computers that are about, oh, 3 or 4 inches thick. The whole computer, monitor and all. Flat screens and integrated componants.
This is a neat concept and all, but do I want them to order one? Fuck no. Maybe one, for me, just to dink with. It's got some slots inside, i've been told (by their salesman, so you take that salt too . ..)
So if the flatscreen goes out, like this monitor next to me, then we got ourselves a $2000 replacement, assuming the warrenty isn't effective still . . .
I dunno, integration scares me, especially after seeing the innards of a packard bell . . .
If you don't pay the artists for their music, they do one of three things:
Get another job, no music. Get another job, little music after work. Die from starvation.

"There is absolutely NO indication whatsoever in the text of Genesis 1 that it is poetry. It is narrative discourse."
Fine, your punishment is writing on the chalkboard till the world blows up:
"Prose can be poetry. Prose can be fiction. Prose can be opinion. Prose can be narrative discourse. Prose can be anything anyone pleases."
Just in case you haven't read a good book in a while (not The Good Book, please).
