My favorite one is in a movie called The Cube (i think). Where the basis of their plan to escape was to follow all the doors that had prime numbers on them. Of course those numbers were like 9 digits long. Thats a slow fucking plan!
If one has taken a class in logic or classical argument, you may recall that if you start with false premises you can indeed logically reach false 'true' conclusions.
Actually, it is worse than that. ALL statements based on a false premise are logically true.
Well it made me thirsy. And since when the hell is Mars an "Energy Bar," I have a roomate that eats those things all the time and he is the laziest sack of shit I've ever met.
That's weird, I ate a lot of Mars bars for a week and I couldn't shit at all for a couple days.
Exactly. How useful is a sack with a whole in the bottom?
Compared to This, bringing up the necessity to restart X as a comparison to Windows is just plain fucking STUPID!
No, it is just plain ON TOPIC. The summary specifically mentions the ability to upgrade drivers without a reboot so people are talking about _gasp_ upgrading drivers without a reboot.
The GP is likely referring to the WTO dumping laws. It should be pointed out that those rules only apply to international trade. Since the suit is being brought by an U.S. citizen against a U.S. organization WTO rules have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with this.
I would just like to point out that the high modded posts in this thread are an extremely intelligent discussion, and that perhaps after the students are being taught evolution, this exact discussion could happen.
If there was actually intelligent discussion like this in High School I might have actually showed up more. And if we shield our children from this discussion, and others like it, then aren't we being complicit in their ignorance.
Of course they should have this conversation. In a philosophy course though, NOT a science course.
They are gonna have to do something. The signal to noise ration has been steadily worsening as more and more people are figuring out how to game the pagerank system.
Damn, maybe we _should_ start calling it GNU/Linux, that way "NOT UNIX" is actually in the name. Of course it would still require these people to actually know what the acronym stands for which might be asking a lot...
The fact is, every group trolls here. Apple threads get Windows- and Linux-fanatics. BSD threads get "- is dying!" trolls like nobody's business. And SCO threads... well, in that case it's pretty much deserved. But nobody is spared. In a community this large, everybody hates something.
The difference being if you were to bash Windows in a Longhorn thread you would probably get modded up.
That is more of a proof of how useless it is before you put stuff in it. Load 12 physics textbooks into the memory somehow and there you go. Data is data whatever it's container is.
Would Scarface have been as good without the violent ending? You can never make blanket statements about real art. Try watching the edited version of Scarface some time and it will literally make you cringe.

Yes, it'll help the job skills of the unemployed. But, who's going to keep those highways clean? Who's going to bring meals to the elderly?
The other 99% of the population that doesn't know how to progam?
If the requirement is to improve job skills how is doing anything in your list going to help an out of work programmer?
I have no idea what that was supposed to mean. Mix in a few more metaphors and it might just make sense.
Indeed.
That would certainly let schrodinger's cat out of the bag!
Why is the NYT not a good paper and what paper is better? There are two posts saying it is bad without any sorts of references or sources.
I don't really read it that often and this is an honest question.
...and don't bother trying to find a belt holster for it without getting one custom made.
That is likely a blessing. The sentence should read: and don't bother trying to find a belt holster for it if you ever want to have sex.

What else is there but the comments? Surely you're not implying that there exist people who read the articles?
Of course not, we all just click the link and keep hitting reload until the server goes down.
Kind of like saying right = left because they are both directions.
Yes, they are both illegal but the law itself refers to them with different names because they are different things.

A swell foop? A foop like the noise of a hundred thousand people saying "foop"? A foop like the sound of a departing Krikkit Warship?
Damn Disney/Touchstone revisionism! The original line was "whop" damnit!! PC bastards!
That's called DUMPING, and it's against the law.

How about this sticker:
Evolution is a theory, not a fact; Creationism (or ID) isn't even a theory.

Neocons may or may not be religious themselves. But they most definitely use Religion as a tool to gain support for unrelated policy.

but rather someone talking to someone simply because they have a cell phone.
...and it was in their pocket ringing?

thanks mods...uhh...Christian Bale is playing Batman and was also good in American Psycho. That is definitely on topic.
Try reading the summary some time, it can be quite helpful...
American Psycho is one of my favorite movies.

This isn't about the right to privacy, this is about the right to anonymity.
No, actually, this is about the right to due process.
Call me naive, but you still have to be rich enough to buy the laws ahead of time in this country. You can't actually change them mid-stream (yet?).
They should counter attack, by making their products rock on alternative platforms like OS X and Linux, and be late and sucky on Windows.
I don't see how purposely alienating 95% of you install base is a smart way to sell software.
