I wonder how they ever because the largest superpower in the world I'm sure it's no thanks to you.
Hahah, Americans are so fat and stupid Not all of them, just the ones you can typically find posting inane rubbish around the place.
That ones probably too fat now to get off its lardy arse and make its way into work. It'll probably remain slobbering and spasming over its keyboard until its bank account runs dry and its out on the street crawling in the gutter and pawing through rubbish bins.
Clearly the fool, what a stupid question. There are many potential reasons for following a fool almost none of them would imply that the follower was himself a fool.
For example you could be following the fool to check his foolish behaviour and stop him getting into trouble, you could be an anthropologist studying him, you could be a thief intending to rob him, you could be following him to laugh at the foolish things he says and does or you could simply happen to be heading in the same direction and happen to be walking behind him.
If Obi Wan Kenobi meant to say "Who is the more foolish, the fool or the fool who does everything the first fool says without question and embelishes the original foolish instructions with even more foolish additions of his own" then that's what he should have said.
Uncommon maybe but no less valid a use for all that ! Until some genuine new type of oil comes along which would benefit from the term "gasoline" I intend to stick firmly to my understanding that it is a term related to lamp oils.
In a driving simulator though, if someone put me in one of those I'd feel no responsibility to drive sensibly since I would have no worries about killing people or dying like you have on real roads. In effect it's just a more boring driving game.
Honestly ! I am aware that the average american has next to no grasp of their external geography but to describe the USA as a little island in the Atlantic is verging on frightening.
Motor car fuel is called either Petrol or Diesel, gasoline is something used to light lamps. I wish posters here would learn to use the correct terminology.
Are there a lot of programs in the US using language then ? I thought you guys hadn't got much past grunting yet so it's good to see you're not exposing the kids to such dangerous ideas as language.
Yes, obviously it is and is treated as such in a lot of rational countries. It's just that the USA seems to have some enormous hang ups regarding sex, probably thanks to their over reliance on religious values.
Sex is a perfectly natural thing as are people having nipples and bodies and neither nipples nor sex ever hurts anyone.
If you really wanted to save the children wouldn't it be better to spend your time evacuating the school than attempting to torture the information out of some religous zealot nutcase terrorist ?
It seems to me the first method will definitely prevent the children from dying whilst the second, although doubtless a lot of fun is not certain to save any of the children.
"Hi, we've caught you trying to plant a roadside bomb. You were brought to our attention because you didn't quite fit our profile of a typical road worker. Now, you say you know nothing and that's great. We believe you and we'd love to offer you your choice as job as a real road worker, or if you'd rather work indoors how about this cushy little number in the water treatment plant ? Yes ! You'd love to accept ? Well that's just fantastic, we're so glad to have been of assistance."
I actually agree with him, I don't think a random group of people doing there own thing will create much value.
However I don't think either Google ( or the FOSS ) community is a random group of people or that Google just lets them come in and do what the hell the like all day. I would say there is certainly some direction there, quite possibly geared towards Googles business.
1) IBM didn't copy it in there 2) What is there is not one contiguous block of code 3) The lines that SCO do claim are theirs are not copyrightable 4) SCO has released these files under the GPL anyway 5) SCO hasn't proved it does own the lines in question 6) The code is question is less than 0.1% of Linux 7) Owning these lines of code does not mean they own any of the rest of Linux
Believe it or not Volcanoes have been around even before the 20th Century, they would have been well known in biblical times ( Vesuvius in AD79 for example ) and people may well have noted the destructive power of the ash and fire spewing from them.
It broke, a travel buddy broke it, ruined a friendship So you decided a laptop was more important than your friendship and now the laptops broken and you've lost the friendship. Well done !
I've flown around to quite a few places in my life and the only time anything bad has happened to my luggage was in Boston USA where they put it on the wrong plane and it didn't arrive in Sydney until 3 days after I did.
I learnt the best lesson about packing packs on a Scout hike 25 years or so ago. We spent most of the weekend trying to catch up with a team of girls, an effort which by the second day had decimated our team and incapacitated most of them through injury, to even get anywhere near the girls we had to jog with full packs for the last 5 miles and even then we still didn't catch up.
When we left the campsite to go home I was helping load up the minibuses with everyones stuff and having heaved our teams bags onto the roof rack with much groaning and sweating I found you could simply toss the girls bags up there with one hand.
Even though at the time I thought I was travelling light I learned that you can actually pack far far far less than you think you need and still be OK.
When I go on trips now, even for months at a time I can usually fit all my stuff into a small 25L pack which absolutely does make a huge difference when you see the thousands of people around you staggering under the weight of the 1001 things they will never use.
When you're packing lay out all the stuff you're thinking of taking and immediately get rid of half of it. Once you've done that get rid of half the remaining stuff and you'll still probably have too much stuff.
If you already have most of the spaceship in space flying along and the only thing you need to add to it are some pilots you will be able to build a rocket capable of getting the rocket and the few passengers to the same speed as your mothership. The rocket would then stop accelerating and carry on at the same speed whilst the mothership would continue to accelerate.
You wouldn't be able to attach the rockets to the mothership and accelerate it to the same speed it is able to reach on it's own after 10 years or so because you would need a huge amount of fuel and once it had ran out you would stop accelerating.

This isn't a very clear picture but this was a huge screen in a square in Spain driven by some windows PC constantly running scandisk.

Actually, Capt Wrong, I don't mean kerosene. The term gasoline originally refers to a type of oil used for lamps.
This is the problem when colonials go native, no style. All the benefits they had taken from modern civilization are, tragically, lost.

Doesn't matter what the story says, the lines they were discussing in the court room were not comments.
