Why do Americans call the boy king "King Tut"? His full name was Tutankhamun (or Tutankhamen)! Is this name so hard to spell or pronounce? Tut makes him sound like some fifth rate Batman villain! Grrrrrr!
According to the article on the BBC website, no-one knows if the lake was there before or after the blast.
Anyway, the theory is a lot more convincing than the theory that a fissure caused a release of gas which
exploded, and was mentioned in one of Arthur C.Clarke's "Mysterious World" books.
Talking of an OS that no-one uses....
These stats are from my website, which has been running since February:
Windows - all flavours - 10,307 hits, 90.56%
Apple - all flavours - 740 hits, 6.50%
Linux/Unix - all flavours - 225 hits, 1.98%
or, more specifically:
(OS - hits - %)
Windows XP 9,155 80.44%
Mac OS X 716 6.29%
Windows 2000 526 4.62%
Windows Vista 389 3.42%
Linux 221 1.94%
Windows 98 206 1.81%
Other/Unknown 99 0.87%
Macintosh 24 0.21%
Windows NT 21 0.18%
Windows ME 7 0.06%
WebTV 5 0.04%
OS/2 3 0.03%
FreeBSD 3 0.03%
Windows 95 2 0.02%
SonyEricsson Phones 2 0.02%
SunOS 1 0.01%
Windows 3.1 1 0.01%
- Vista had a slow start, but it even took over Linux after a few weeks. How come people don't say "its an OS that no-one uses" when talking about Linux?
Perhaps the better, cheaper option was to buy a NEW FAN rather than a new PC. What the OP said was like buying a new car when one of the electric windows gets broken?
The mention of Dell in this article reminds me of another current Slashdot news article, one about Linux....
Do you mean the GPL (prosecuter) or the prosecutee?
IF the former is the case, then what the hell is the point of the GPL? Rather than having an EULA, we might as well have the words "So what?" in large, friendly letters on the manual.
Is this to allow American fatties (who sue McDonalds et al. because their obesity is never their fault, oh dear me, no sir) to meander to the fridge to get more snacks without getting off their well-groomed all-American asses?
...and I am very worried by its contents. Not the reporters outbursts (which were covered, along with profuse apologies), but the behaviour of the Scientologists, who, at times, acted like some form of Gestapo, attempting to stifle debate on the issue and sending stalkers out to harras the intimidate the reporter. The show should have been on longer, and perhaps focussed more on the contorversial anti-psychiatrist angle, and those families isolated from their loved ones by Scientology practises.
Freedom of speech is one thing, but this cult should be closed down.
After only 10 years in the IT field (and 7 years in Physics before that), I felt "Why the hell should I line someone else's pockets? Why shouldn't I do what I WANT to do for a change?"
Noble sentiments, but this doesn't pay the bills. I'd quite like to write a book, and have quite a lot of experience in writing and researching; in short, its something I love doing.
So, if any publisher reads this and wants to take a chance with me, have a look at my website, and PLEASE get in touch.
Thanks.
wait until just after someone you don't like leaves your company, then write an anonymous to the copyright holders, the police, F.A.C.T or equivalent and then sit back and watch the auditors come in. You won't be considered as a whistle-blower:)
Slashdot Mirror
Won't there be similar lung related illness like asbestosis on Earth caused by all that dust?
Just how well are Dell's Linux-shipped computers selling?

Which one? Las Vegas, New York or Miami? :)
There are only a few letters difference between "privacy" and "piracy"

.....and my html line breaks got missed out. Grrr!

Bush doesn't want the money to go to Space research because he needs it for Iraq!

But would it make a difference? Has anyone been prosecuted under the terms of the GPL?!
I had a vision of Jabba the Hutt from Return of the Jedi saying "There will be no bargain" personally!

Time for me to put my two penneth in this argument; I've done a bit of writing on this subject, namely the bunched jakcte nonsense which has been pounced upon as proof of Oswald's guilt. Nonsense. Have a read of this: http://www.paullee.com/jfk/bunchedjacket.html Also, a mate of mine has done some writing on this, based on John Connally's wounds. He asks some very serious questions: http://www.dealeyplazauk.co.uk/The%20Wounding%20of %20John%20Connally.htm

http://www.badpsychics.co.uk/ - they also have a sister site now, http://www.badghosts.co.uk/ . Good articles IMHO :)
Theres a bit more on this on http://www.badpsychics.co.uk/ and its forums. Well worth a read IMHO!
