for a lot of people that's bullshit. Beauty is a lot of the time related to stupidity, in that a person that is too beautiful is just assumed to be stupid sometimes even if they aren't. Most Australians will remember Natasha Stot Despoya, who was extremely smart, an accomplished politician and quite attractive, however the support for the Democrats fell as soon as she took leadership simply because people wouldn't take her seriously.
He's saying women not babies. He also said that this is mostly a social construct, implying that women are at least as smart as men but the lack of women in scientific fields (and yes we are talking about science here) is due to social pressure instead of genetic inadequacy. You seem to be attacking him for being on the same side.
But this isn't a totally new revolution, like being able to literally talk instead of just type, it's actually giving the same service albeit at a cheaper cost and perhaps a higher quality. Chances are the users of VoIP won't even know it's happening; do you realise that most long distance conversations using a normal telephone are actually done using VoIP simply because it's cheaper for the telephone company?
I wouldn't get out the doomsday hats for the telecom companies yet, they'll adapt as always.
What are you talking about? You only need one sonar sensor to get distance to an object. You can do this just by taking the time the sound takes to come back, halving it and then multiplying it by 340. It's not an eye! (On another note, the sender is not a "sensor" it's a "sender" or rather a "pinger".)
From what I gather the point is that Apple's market share in that architecture is just a small (even insignificant, when looking at the extremely small profit margins) part. It wasn't really a big loss at all to IBM with Apple jumping ship. The PowerPC architecture is anything but dying.
Perfectly right. It doesn't mean "jack shit". It means change units.smile.face.width to "Miles" AND change smile.face.width to "10". (You obviously don't have a *n*x box otherwise you could have better spent the time writing that post typing "python" into a command line and testing it)
but the copyright story is forever changing as one side counters the other. First Napster then lawsuits then Kazaa then lawsuits then BitTorrent then lawsuits (OK one side is pretty boring but the entire thing's interesting and very arguable).
In the W/L argument there's been pretty much nothing happening - Windows hasn't had a release for the past four years and both sides are just getting ready for the next releases (Vista and KDE 4 pretty much). When Vista and KDE 4 get released things will heat up again don't worry!
The only game that has tempted me back towards Windows lately has been Battlefield 2, and that should be working in Linux soon.
Not that it's that good a game (it, like Vietnam, lacks the polish and gameplay balance that the original seemed to have) are they making a port of it? I'm not totally sure if it'll go through wine anytime soon because of it's enormous use of shaders...
Ditto for the Aussies and their Aussie rules football--it's just a decoy for the fact that they're all actually playing cricket.
Actually you're missing the actual situation here if I might give my two cents worth of knowledge. We tend to play the exciting games (AFL, the rugbies, a bit of soccer here and there) in the winter when people are working and it's cold and people want an exciting part of the weekend to offset the boredom of work. In the summer things get hot. And I'm talking 40-45 degrees some days. Most Americans I bet would go crazy at a puny 35 degrees. In these times we play the lazy "day out at a picnic" types of games. When we're not at the beach or something we're watching cricket.
Currently we're in an exception, but hey it's the ashes.
You must be using a different digital camera than me. Windows doesn't autodetect mine (or even detect it). You can use the software that came with the camera but without it you're stuffed. Linux on the other hand...

But rumours are relevant, especially when they are involved in the stockmarket. Whether they are relevant to geeks and nerds on the other hand...

*sigh* I knew exactly what you meant. For further reading, here's the definition of "joke" for you.
. . . Gmail (known as Google Mail for legal reasons in some areas) is finally open to everyone . . . only U.S. citizens can register . . .
I thought it was this:
> ping www.google.com
PING www.l.google.com (66.102.7.99) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 66.102.7.99: icmp_seq=1 ttl=241 time=430 ms
64 bytes from 66.102.7.99: icmp_seq=2 ttl=241 time=256 ms
So that's how the aussie team are planning on countering England's reverse swing.

And that folks is the scream of eternal virginity.
It seems to me that that's the scream of someone who finished high school.
Really? My logitec one works fine...
I think he meant practically as opposed to theoretically.
Open source and DRM, then the creators could ensure that noone can modify or copy their work!

perhaps but if you notice I'm a different person from your great GP. It's probably a certain protocol that doesn't work with bare Windows.

Yes we should only visit the same sites as people with spyware damnit!
... and python, which is what we're talking about here *hint hint*
doesn't really matter - they're both equivalent...
Yes. The codecs work exactly the same way on Linux as on Windows, even though they are dlls.

They are also looking to look scathingly at France until they surrender.
