This is just scary. Only the most undereducated or unsophisticated person thinks of a game as a way to kill time. Games are, and always has been, the primary form of socialization. The game teaches the kid, in a safe environment, the rules and expectations of society. Think of the games that small children play and the rules and expectations of those games. Follow rules. Wait your turn. Effort produces reward. As people gets older the games can help them release the animal desires though simulation of socially unacceptable behaviors. Games are our primary form of education, and, often, are our primary form of testing new technologies.
So uhm.. If demons invade I'm supposed to kill them all?
I'd be willing to bet it costs them alot more to call that 800 number ever time something fucks up because of no maintenance than to just keep someone on staff. Whatever floats their boat though.
Bad statistical reports are commonly used to manipulate people, most notably, in politics, but it can happen in a wide variety of consumer venues as well. Don't take any report from anyone at face value if you're going to depend on the results. Look underneath and behind the results in every case, and make sure you aren't being played.
There's a case of a pot calling the kettle black for yah...
Okay. I'm a skeptic most of the time but I don't buy the perth group's basic arguments. I haven't read through their entire document, but I smell a rat. AIDS obviously does exist, and if HIV doesn't cause it what does? Cellular Redox? That's an obsurd statement. If it was cellular redox, why is there no diagnosed cases of HIV/AIDS in people that have never had any type of blood mixing, or sex with another person?
I could go on for hours about problems with their arguement, but I suspect they have some motive for believing what they say other than the facts presented.
Ditto... Here on the west cost AT&T (Formerly SBC, and i still hate them regardless of the name change.) has been pricing ISPs out of the market for quite a while purely by the fact that they own the copper. It always ended up being much more expensive to get DSL from a local provider than from SBC due to the prices SBC was charging local ISPs for the lines and the ability to have DSL shunted to their buildings.
For example, the ISP I use to work at was being charged the same amount to have a DSL customer as SBC was charging the DSL customer for ISP service through them. They did this by charging their customers, at the time, 35 dollars for the line, and then.99 cents for ISP service. They still charged 35 dollars for the line regardless of whether the ISP was them or someone else. Nobody else could make a profit only charging.99 cents a month for service (SBC couldn't even do it, but i'm sure they were siphoning off money from the line cost to pay for the ISP service.) Loads of BS.
And if your saliva is alkali, the calcium in your saliva will redeposit onto your teeth. Your teeth enamel are constantly being dissolved and replaced via this process. Google for CaviStat for a product based on this.
I'm not convinced by your handwaving arguments that two diffferent orbits can't have the same linear velocity. I believe you're overlooking that orbit are a minimization problem involving the force due to gravity the of the sun, the mass of the planet. For any distance away from the sun you should be able to obtain whatever angular (or linear velocity) you want. The orbit itself is defined by a function of the gravitational force and the mass of the planet. Thus you two the relationship between the two and then you know what velocity an object at that position would need to be in orbit. If you want a specific velocity at a specific position then you'd need to two the mass.
I never said it was probable, I said it was possible.
P.S. What are you talking about with:
If it's closer to the Sun, it will be too slow to maintain position, and will fall into a smaller, faster orbit. If it's further out than the Earth is, it will be going too fast to maintain its orbit based purely on gravity, and will rocket off into the deep dark.
That makes no sense. Are you assuming the linear speed has to be the same for every orbit?
I for one will not be using Google anymore. I couldn't boycott MSN and Yahoo, because I didn't already use their garbage. Google's ads were one thing I didn't block, that just changed, and now I won't visit their search page either.
Some other people here have mentioned how well we boycott Saudi Arabia. Most of this is out of my control, I don't have a choice. My government isn't going it's job.. Namely investigating alternative energy, and I don't have the personal resources to do it myself. That is the job of government too, to do things it's citizens can't do for themselves.
Anyone know any good online search? Is A9 colluding with china?
Who told you that? It needs to have the same ANGULAR velocity as us, which doesn't require being the same distance away at all. Given that orbits are not circular however complicates the calculates a lot, but it is possible.
What do you expect from people, who never learned to interact socially in real life, in a game where there's no non-verbal information? Think about it.
This guy is full of complete and utter bullshit. Almost every helpdesk I've had any dealings with, and two I've worked at, recommend SpyBot and Ad-Aware incessantly. I've never seen it damage a system. The only problems I've ever had with either is that they occasionally can break winsock when removing some particularly annoying spyware. There's utilities that easily fix the damaged registry keys however.
Plus, this persons example makes NO SENSE. Why would spybot go crazy after an image was restored, but not before, unless Ghost (AKA Drive Image) did something wrong when making/restoring the image? Not to mention that Ghost 10 (Aka Drive Image) has a long history of generating corrupt images when making them while running the system. This is a documented problem on many Ghost and Drive Image forums and Symantec has demonstrated that it doesn't care. (See http://ghost.radified.com/) Hot-imaging is a non-feature prone to making bad images.
I know that many of these come from fertility treatment, and would be disposed of anyways. If this were to happen to you, do you find it would be ethical to turn you into a treatment rather then to returned into non-existance? Your state as a Stem-cell treatment would be nothing more than a few cells in somebodies back. This is a horrible existance. It would be better simply to not exist, because either way, you wouldn't be conscious, just in the latter you would be worse off.
There's a little red heard on my driver's license that says "Organ Donor", what about yourself?
Parent is correct, D is quickly becoming a very robust programming language specification. It still has some rough edges though. Even if the bugs and missing features preclude you from using it right now, at least read the specification thoroughly. You'll be pleasantly surprised, and want to check up on it on a regular basis.
I think the slashdot editors pick out the worst submissions for any given topic and post those -- just for fun. Now Josh Hudson looks like a fool in front of everyone on slashdot. Mwahaha..
Same thing happened to me at hollywood video. I returned a disc i rented which had already been scratched. They told me they wouldn't be getting any new copies in and a new disc was very expensive and that it was such an old release. Buncha crap if you ask me. If i was hollywood video I'd have a disc burner and only rent out the copies. Just gotta be very careful that you don't make more copies than you have licenses.
Or whatever other type of sugar you want! You can still by Kool Aid packets, which don't have sugar added to them.
Sucrose is broken down into equal parts fructose and glucose so it's not that great. But, you could substitute any kind of sugar alternative you want though. Like a mixture of sugar alcohols. Some Xylitol for healthy bones and teeth.:)
Sugar is intended for our bodies to be a source of emergency energy, not a food staple. Fats, proteins, vitamins, amino acids, and minerals are essential for life; starches and sugars are not.
This is absolutely not true. Glucose is required for many brain functions, and your body best metabolises sugars and starches. Though, it is true, what you say about not being required to _EAT_ sugars. Your body will happily produce it's own glucose from protein and fat.

Symantec software has always been second rate on the macintosh. Disk Doctor is and was a dangerous application.
Definately should have gone with "The Copyright Infringement Party."
