For about 5-6 years all I ever used was Linux with some sort of X desktop. KDE/GNOME/Enlightenment/Windowmaker/etc. Before that I used Win 3.11 and DOS on my 486. I never really had to do any work because I was in high school.
About two years ago I got a Laptop with Win98 on it. The first couple months I was completely confused. I kept closing windows when i wanted to minimize them. Things kept crashing and I didnt know how to fix it. It was terrible. The only thing I liked was Explorer.
Then last year I sold my laptop and got a desktop, Amd 750 with first WindowsMe which was terrible and now XP. I still close windows when I mean to minimize them. I think the entire OS looks ugly and again the only thing i like is Explorer(not IE but the filemanager). Can I get work done? Yeah. Do I enjoy using it? No.
Windows has always felt to me to be a rip off of something better. I've never used OS X but there has to be a better way.
4. If you want to work ON a computer AND have a very clever cousin living nextdoor with lots of spare time and a long experience with Windows, listen to him and buy that Wintel machine he recommends.
I never liked that kid.
1. He gets on my nerves.
2. Brags too much about how he hacked his junior high and changed all his grades.
3. Greatest coding accomplishment is his Visual Basic port of Gorilla.bas.
I've been thinking about buying a Mac for awhile now. I'm a junior in college and most likely going to grad school. I currently have an Amd 750mhz and it's a fine system however I probably going to need an upgrade at least within a year. The biggest gripe with it is that I have to use Windows. I run linux but I find it more of a hobby rather then something I can use to be productive.
So I have been thinking of getting maybe an iMac and put linux on there to play around with but use OS X to get work done. Yet I'm still not sure if a Mac is right for me. Can I even install hardware upgrades on Macs? The thing I like about PCs is that i can simply buy some hardware upgrades and put them in myself. Is this possible with a Mac? How is the gfx/cpu performance on a Mac compared to a PC? I dunno, if anyone has done a similar leap from PC to Mac i'd appreaciate it if they shared their experience.
hence the need for extra dimensions. Yes observation without interaction is impossible according to our 4d physics at this time. However if you were able to discover extra dimensions, most likely on the sub-quantum scale, and navigate/manipulate them. It seems to me that you could interact with photons in a 'buffer' type dimension. According to modern day quantum physics 'phantom' particles pop in and out of existence all the time. Surely they come from somewhere.
We dont know how photons could interact on a multidimensional sub-quantum scale. Maybe a photon's interruptions in other dimensions with cause other photons to suddenly appear somewhere else. The key is to somehow manipulate this and really you dont see the actual photon but its cousin who you can freely interact with.
didn't Zeno bother mathematicians and physicists with the same sort of argument for hundreds of years? You know how they solved his paradox right? They forgot about it.
Has anyone ever thought that time travel to the past is more like rewinding a tape. Maybe your interaction with the past is nothing more then a mirror image of already enfolded events. The time traveller would be something more like a ghost floating through time and act as an observer. This would solve all paradoxes simply because travelling to the past is possible but changing it is not. This to me seems more plausible then being able to send something to the past and suddenly popping into existence at that time frame.
i think the song is more about how people forget how they were messed up as kids and inflict the same damage unto another generation. hence it's called Memory Loss. however you could have been trying to be funny.
What does God have to do with government? nothing. So why does God have to be in a pledge to a government? He/she doesnt have to be, so why is everyone in such a fuss. Its not like God doesnt exist anymore he/she/it just can't be in the pledge and maybe currency. Who gives a shit? Maybe if you recite something 10,000 times you believe it to be true.
Oh yeah loving one's country(patriotism/nationalism) should have nothing to do with religion. Isn't it possible for a person to not believe in a God or the Western idea of one ruling deity and yet still love and support the great Republic that is the United States of America? Our founding fathers knew this to be the case, that government should have nothing to do with religion. When you mix the two you start trouble.
So just remove 'under God' out of the pledge. Its not like God will shun us now or something. God isnt a necessary part of government. God is based on faith of a higher being who created the universe, government is based on faith that humans can create a civil society.
Wait a minute wtf is maths? I always thought it was Math as in Mathematics. Now there is maths? I think you "mathematicians" are just making math plural to create more jobs for mathematicians.
Anyway if it wasn't for physicists putting math or maths to practical real work, math or maths would be as worthless as philosophy.
Oh yeah Bill Whalton is the biggest goddamn faggot I have ever seen/heard in my short life. I know he just wants to suck Shaq's fucking gorilla cock. Yeah mod this -1/Flame/Offtopic mad quick.
Hey I got an idea, why dont I decide what I want to pay for. Instead of 600 channels of crap they push down my throat for $60 a month, why dont I pay $20 a month for 10 channels i actually watch. Then with all that freed up bandwidth I can download all the shit I want. You know whats a damn bandwidth hog, fucking Oprah Winfrey and Rosie O'Donnel. Yeah and all that other crap they show in the morning. And the fucking O'Reilly factor on fucking Fox News. Why dont they start capping that shit and charge the idiots who watch that crap. Yeah and fucking Shaq, his huge ass sucks up prolly all the bandwidth I need. Why dont the damn refs call some goddamn fouls. Its not like he has talent or anything he's a goddamn freak of nature. Ahh sorry i got a little sidetracked there.
If it's natural for an animal to be hunted to extinction by humans with human created weapons, then how is it unnatural to bring back the species by the same hands that killed it off?
Hell, maybe one day humans will be as lucky and brought into existence by the superior species that kills us off.
Life is cheap? Then why did it take billions of years for life to develop on this planet. Why isn't life on every damn rock in the universe? Life is probably the most precious and rare thing in the universe. You need to take a look around and realize that on Earth we are spoiled with life. Maybe appreciate that fact and come to the conclusion that life is not cheap but rather very damn expensive.
Someone justify to me why I should pay for no new content? I mean if the articles would read themselves to me maybe I would pay. Also it's only video game oriented information they provide. While maybe to some this information might be crucial to one's survival, to me its trivial and not worth really anything.
If you can't support yourself with ad based revenue then cut costs. I'm sure the person who reviews only fighting games can start reviewing some racing games. Fire some aritists and cut down on graphics, which in turn reduces bandwidth.
I can't find a reason why subscription based services will suceed when no new content is being provided. Why don't they instead decrease content, cut costs and stabilize themselves. Then provide new content to those who want to pay for it? Sell me something worth buying, not something that you first provided for free and now you deam worth my money since you can no longer afford to provide it.
The main problem is that many scientists are more interested in their ego then science. I'm not sure if Dr. Park has replicated the experiment and if he has maybe he made a mistake. The whole function of published journals is for MANY scientists to try to replicate an experiment MANY times. Then share results to start a debate over the said experiment. Jumping the gun and declaring an experiment to be false without a deep investigation of it, is rather unscientific.

of course. Just down the street from Santa's Village.

What I had in mind was a little different. However to explain it I would need more then 4 dimensions and probably a Phd.

If you put a bunch of legos in a box and shake them around for a billion years will you get a pirate ship? I don't think you will.
Someone needs a punch in the face.

can be used to prove or disprove anything.
you mean black people right? hell there are tons of them in Camden. Whats the big deal?
oh wait so there isnt a robot? man this story sucks.
