I agree. This is apparently an area where people still get away with discrimination - agism. It's really sad, since no one seems to see any problem with making statements like "even my grandma could do that". I'd like to see what Grace Hopper Jones would say about this article.
Adrian is led to his cell, which contains a large burly, hairy cellmate. Adrian is really worried about this guy, but they start talking and he thinks "hey maybe this will be OK", until..
Cellmate: So, we gonna play house, you want to be the husband or the wife ?
Adrian: Errr...the husband.
Cellmate: Well OK then, get over her and suck your wife's dick!!!
Every year, tidal damage costs earthlings trillions of dollars in damage. The only choice is to teach those mooners a lesson and blow them out of the sky. I suggest that we redirect and asteroid and shatter them to pieces. Or conquor and enslave the population to make it a giant steakfruit farm.
BALTIMORE (AP) - Could drinking common tap water make it harder for you to shed a few pounds ?
That's the argument of a well-known obesity researcher. Contrary to what we have all believed for years, water does in fact have calorie content, says Dr. James Korsch of Johns Hopkins University. In an article to appear in this April's issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, Dr. Korsch and his team present new research describing how they used new techniques that show that water has calories.
"In the last five years there has been a big change in how we think about metabolism. Old ideas that we took for granted are now being put to the test with new measuring techniques, and we're finding that many of them just aren't true" Dr. Korsch said at a press conference last week. "If you think about it, there really is no reason to assume that water has zero calories. What we found was that in fact a liter of distilled water has about 40 calories."
But not all of Dr. Korsch's colleagues are buying his hypothesis. "The biggest health problem we're facing in America today is obesity," Dr. Julie Walther, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told The Associated Press last week. "Dr. Korsch has an excellent reputation, but many scientists in the obeisity research community are calling this work into question. Time will tell if he is correct, but right now we're concerned about the public getting the wrong message."
What's the main idea behind Dr. Korsch's work ? "The point is that the conventional methods for finding out how many calories a substance has just don't correspond to how the human body processes food. Typically, a method known as calorimetry is used, where the food is burned and the calories produced are measured by looking at the change in temperature. Well, unfortunately, that's just not how the human body consumes food - we don't have a furnace in our stomachs . What we have is a complex biochemical process. And not only that, but how are we going to burn water to compute its calorie content ? There are many substances which simply can't be studied in this way. Dirt is a good example. Right now we are running a study funded by the Army on the calorie content of dirt and sand. The Army is very interested in the possibility that soldiers could possibly subsist on a diet of dirt alone."
So what are the implications for todays dieters ? "If you are reaching for a bottle of spring water, think twice." says Dr. Korsch. "You're better off with a good diet soda."

I am not sure if you are trollin' me, but it is true that multimedia is a challenging area for open software development. Standards and hardware change and there are a lot of products out there to contend with writing drivers for.
No wait, i can do this too - I heard that it is for the same reason that the space shuttle wheels are the same distance from each other as on Roman carts...
Can you give some references ? Geez this kinda stuff doensn't add to the discussion at all. You just want to be modded up.

You, ma'am, are an oversensitive IDIOT.
And I bet I could code you under the table...
Actually "the conceptual model" is exactly the same, thanks to Turing, Von Neumann, et al. Do you mean that it is hard to understand a GUI ?
I agree. This is apparently an area where people still get away with discrimination - agism. It's really sad, since no one seems to see any problem with making statements like "even my grandma could do that". I'd like to see what Grace Hopper Jones would say about this article.
getting 3 fps in a row!
I thought this has been done.
I thought IBM had done this already.
I wonder if Hotwarg vs. the US from 1967 will have a direct bearing on this - it addressed a very similar issue for phone conversations.
I reservere this space for a comment:

No but I think that it bears a close relationship with PHLEGM.
I think the first person to write a loop should complain a lot!
Voiceware released one like this in 2001.

Oh wait I can do this too...my uncle's dogwalkers friends chef is the CEO of IBM and he is actually owns a lot of SCO stock....
You are just dying to be modded up aren't you ?
Apparently what took them so long was some complex legalities relating to a IP case from the early 90's that I forget the name of.
Is the instability that a lot of people found when testing the falcon. I am surprised how positive this article is.
I heard that they are using a nonlinear version of page rank from a friend. Can anyone verify this ?
nothing beats the good ol' Tom Baker days. Not that I didn't like the other doctors...
