Driverless cars are going to be common place but it's still way too soon. It's an incredible technology which wont work right now. I can't wait for it to lift off. There are going to be so many time saving functionalities.
Can you imagine:
No more traffic jams.
Cars driving themselves to get serviced.
I think cost is a major factor. I have no idea how they plan on enforcing search engines pay for content. I think it's a terrible idea if publishers are planning to expand their reader base.
Bloggers are exempt, so i wonder if a google snippet of a blog would be cause for a payment.
Possibly not.
I don't know exactly what you're saying. Does your brother know you were not talking about a physical stone. He may have been more satisfied with your responses.
There is a big problem, the gravitational kind.
A big stone is essentially a planet. Exactly where is he to anchor his feet to lift this stone up? How would natual laws apply. How would this affect the universe? Would he create the stone inside the universe?
God cannot lift such a stone because he doesn't have the means.
This whole argument has been iterated many times before.
I feel one can only really assume a god exists. It is impossible to know. For one usually defines god as something that cannot be known and something that is outside our perspective, as a whole. The whole spiritual world cannot be known because it cannot be seen, measured or detected. So for arguments sake it's best to leave it out entirely. For we can only ever speculate.
This is my problem in it's entireity. So many things have to be speculated on. An argument made for a god can be applied to any god.
NASA isn't just about flying rockets into space. If you're trying to find other planets which could harbor life you can't leave evolution out of the equasion.
Headphones are always, always, going to have better sound quality over earphones.
I have a set of Sennheiser HD 595s - and previously a set of HD 500s. They don't actually touch your ear. They also block out alot of the outside noise. They offer much goodness. The only thing they are mainly for home use. Unless you don't worry about how they are going to affect yor battery life.
I would think the little earphones would dammage your ears more than headphones; at the same sounding volume.
It is not always a simple as picking a choosing one
You have to know alot of the applications you are going to be installing. What are you going to use as your media player? You should know how to mount/unmount devices. Actually I am not sure this is the case anymore. Still a good idea to keep yourself informed. If you want to terminate a process, how are you going to terminate a specific process?
But my main point being; Get to know about *nix before taking the plunge. That is usually the best approach. Say for instance you hear about Debian. You think enthusiastically to yourself. 'I want to do Debian, because Debian is for the eliete'. You get hold of some install CDs and you can't get passed the installation. You have all these options before you, and you have no idea what to install. You don't know what all the partitions are for. You have no idea what swap is. Never mind how big it should be.
Just ready yourself beforehand is all I am saying. But of course this is not always the case with every distro. If you are going to install Red Hat it is probably going to be easier to install and run comparing to Windows.
If the system is pre-configured and the user gets used to the pre-configured setup. At some point in time it is going to be a good idea to reformat the machine to clean out all the gunk and junk.
The original admin that set the machine up is possibly not going to be the one setting up the machine in the future. So all the extentions that were formally added are going to be forgotten. All the great applications that have been installed are going to be forgotten. Unless the user have been taking extensive notes.
Also this is not always the case.
20 million years ago this spider was trotting around the planet. I would love to see the evolutionary changes in the spider. That would be fantastic! Is noone else excited about this?
I am sure there are many changes in the old spider when examined, and compared, to today's spiders. It would also give us a little more information about how long spiders have been around. When we look at how basic the spider was 20 million years ago, how natural selection has acted on the particular species of spider. I would imagine this particular species would be ancestor to many other spider species. It would also be fantastic if there are any of the spiders surroundings, at the time, were trapped in the hair of the spiders legs - if the spider infact had/needed hair on its legs 20 million years ago.
Also, I find "20 million years" a bit of a rough estimate. Could they not be more specific in regards to the dates? Maybe - twenty million seventeen hundered thousand years ago. They could quite easily have been out a few million years.
I feel a moon is a substantial mass that is in orbit around a central planet of a greater mass.
Pluto is a planet. If there is a substantial mass that orbits around Pluto, it is one of Pluto's moons.
It is exactly as the parent reckons. Shape and Orbit.
However, a moon would share a common orbit with a planet. A common orbit, or a barycentre, which would in turn be orbiting around a star. The planet would be the object that holds the highest ratio of the orbit, which the planet and its moons share.
At what size should we define a moon? I would stay: the point where the gravitational force of the moon is not strong enough to hold the mass of the moon/object to a spherical-like shape.
I would love for a _real_ i-Pod cellular phone to come out.
I have been stuck with my 6230 with upgraded memory for too long. It has served me well for the time being.
I was keen on getting myself an i-Pod, but I am just not overly zealous of carrying an extra device.
So I am most likely just going to upgrade my phone to the Nokia n91.
Standard headphone jack, more or less the same size as the 6230 I currently wield, decent size memory.
The new i-Pod phone is anything but innovative. Granted I have not seen many of its features, I just can't be serious about a _multimedia_ phone with such a small memory capacity.
If you look at the basic device everyone is going to be carrying, it's a cellular phone... If you can successfully bundle another, mandatory (almost) device. Then go right ahead.

For me the old dragon looked better because of contrast reasons. There seems to be an emphasis to make things pop more by upping the contrast.

I think this is brilliant. I little pointless but brilliant.
You can find some more great 3D stuff here. http://raph.com/3dartists/artgallery/ Some of the leading ladies are many years old.

I like the british word "Mug".
