I am not a physicist, but I think the dark matter is a totally false idea fabricated to explain things we cannot explain with our current perception and knowledge of physics. It is similar to the aether idea that was fabricated to explain Maxwell's equations on a cosmological scale so they did not collide with Newton's theories. The more we figured out about the properties of the aether, the more magnificent it needed to be. Einstein realized that Newton's common sense laws were actually different than we perceived and rewrote physics by determining that the existance of the aether was incorrect, and what we observed was caused by relativity. I think the same holds true with dark matter. What we are observing is the effect of gravity traversing dimensions other than the four we normally encounter. The other eletromagnetic forces do not cross into these dimensions, but gravity does. This would also explain why gravity seems so much less powerful than the electromagnetic forces, it is spread out through multiple dimensions. We know there is a force somewhere and lots of it, but can see no evidence of it because it is beyond our perception. We only see the effect of gravity particles (gravitons) that are traversing into our dimension from the others. Perhaps there really is the aether all around us, and it is more spectacular than ever imagined. This aether would be multidimensional and be everywhere. We cannot see or cross the dimensions we are in into another one. But they are there on the other side of the aether. The gravitons pass right through it and that is what we observe.
but many programs will not run correctly unless installed as the user themselves. This is getting better with newer programs, but multiple users on a windows box was clearly an added on afterthought, unlike *nix where multiple users on one box was designed in from the beginning. A common program that clearly stands out is an older version of Palm Desktop. It simply would not work correct unless you give admin privledges to the user, run the install as the user, and then take away the admin privledges. Even Microsoft programs have this problem, i have noticed on more than one occasion i will run the installer for Office XP as myself and then when the user goes to run it it will ask for a disk, even though i did a full install. I have even had it run fine for a user opening the program and editing word files and such, but when the user tried the 'save as' command it asked for a disk, but it would work fine when i ran word. There is something clearly wrong with this, and microsoft cannot even make their own products run correct on a multiple user machine. Windows XP is trying hard to become a multiple user machine, but it still seems flakey more often than not. I use the 'run as' for a lot of programs, but some that just wont work.
Often you really dont have to do anything with Windows now to be infected with some nast virus or spyware. ActiveX flaws, IE browser rendering flaws, and the remote root exploit of the month allow viruses to spread just opening a web page or previewing an email. You certainly cant blame the user for that. And with the remote root exploits, you can just sit back and relax while your computer gets owned automatically for you.
I had not seen this news until now, but still find it impractical they would build a mobile hydrogen plant. Seems much more economical to build a permanent building if everything was legit. Why clean the trucks so good and go through all the trouble to hide them if it was perfectly legal? A mobile plant costs much more to operate than a fixed structure. Sounds fishy and i don't buy the explanation. Still, why are the potent pesticides so far away from any agriculture? That just makes no sense at all. Real pesticides would be in a barn or something, not where you have to go 50 miles each way to spray your crops. Also, didn't Saddam fire banned missiles at us during the war? What more proof do you need? The world is a better place now his regime is over. I certainly dont believe the trucks in question were used to make hydrogen. More weapons will show up, they are probably in Syria now. Also, look when we kicked Sadaam's ass, Libya got so scared they opened up their doors and showed us their weapons programs, knowing they might be next on the list. We got another evil terrorist dictator and didnt even have to launch one bomb. The weapons exist. They will be found.
Heres another link about the barrels of 'pesticide' with better pictures in case you forgot. Any readers out there please explain one thing: why is this in the middle of the desert with no agriculture for miles around? the only reason i can think of is it was the ingredients for some weapons. it certainly wasnt going to kill aphids in the middle of the desert with no farmland anywhere near... It may possibly be hidden underground to keep it out of the hot desert sun, but i cannot figure out why you would keep pesticide so far away from any area it could possibly be used in a legit way.
Well Mr AC, since you havn't watched the news at all or have a very short memory, here's a quick refresher:
Trucks
that are portable weapons labs . These are the trucks you conveniently forgot about. What other purpose are they for? I suppose a portable babyfood lab or something. As far as the pesticides, we aren't talking about your regular pesticide found in your garage, or even on a large farm for that matter. Heavy duty stuff. This isn't Raid or DDT, its a magnatude more potent than that. Again, why the pesticide with no agriculture for miles in any direction? Especially heavy duty stuff like they found. Why would legit pesticide be hidden so well also? It just doesn't make sense no matter how you try to justify it. According to your numbers, 15,000 iraqi civilian and military personnel are dead. You also mention he killed hundreds of thousands of iranians. That is quite a big difference. How many in mass graves have we found? There are countless thousands saddam killed we are just finding out about. Much more than 15,000. How many lives were spared by overthrowing this madman? The iraqi people's lifestyle will improve and they will not have to live in fear now. Saddam had to go.
The rest of the world was convinced as well, and so was Clinton. I am convinced the evidence of the WMD is so large that they were definitely there, probably still are. Look at all the mass graves, torture rooms, etc. Saddaam Hussain and his evil regime was a WMD itself. Also, remember when they found 'pesticide' buried in the middle of the desert? Why have pesticide with no agriculture for miles around? And if they were legit pesticide, why not build a shed instead of burying them? (please tell me why you need pesticide in the middle of the desert with no agriculture for miles around, anyone?) Also remember the trucks that were found which were a portable chemical lab? I can add 1+1. Just because 50 gallon drums were found with 'pesticide' labeled on them does not mean that they were. That was evidence itself. Sure 'pesticide' is not WMD by itself, but if we just mix it together in the back of this truck and drive around for an hour it changes to something totally different. We look back at history, we see what the nazis did in WWII. We say, 'if we only knew what they were doing we could have stopped this'. Well now we do know what Hussain did, and he is evil and had to go. We stopped it. Saving countless lives and stricking a blow to terrorism. Bush drew a line. He said 'if you cross this line there will be trouble' France was whiney and said 'lets move the line back some' Well when does it end? Bush did the right thing. Allowing countries to barely cross the line without punishment let to the German military buildup that preceded WWII. We need to defend our country first and foremost, and if the UN will not allow it, then we don't need to be part of it. Look at history. We need to learn from it, and if we can prevent another hitler (which Bush DID do) than the world is a better place.
Do you really think that they pay $600 for a toilet seat? The government is not stupid. They have to fund the secret ufo programs and other super secret x-files activities somehow. They cant just publicly ask for 'ufo reverse engineering funding' and have it appear this way on the books. That is why a toilet seat appears as $600 on a bill.
You are correct. I do not expect a paralegal to know what a highschool chem student should know ( i will even ignore the city council with a phd holder on the group not knowing this fact), but why is a paralegal even making these choices? Shouldnt their job be to prepare contracts or court cases or something? The fact that a paralegal can even get involved in making choices that can affect the environmental laws and go as far as almost banning styrofoam cups based on a joke web page is crazy. Shouldnt that be the job of the California Environmental Protection Agency or some similar organization to study and assess that risk? Obviously nobody with a clue even considered consulting someone with knowledge about dihydrogen monoxide and its environmental effects. They just saw something some joker posted on the internet and assumed it was true. 5 minutes worth of research would have shown that it was a joke. The fact that this was almost made a law without any factual research truely shows how our society has been "dumbed down" and made even more gullible. I think at the next council meeting, i will introduce a revolutionary new budget plan to completely eliminate the deficit and provide projected cash surpluses for the next 10 years. All i need to do is help this guy in Nigeria get back his money that is rightfully his...
Come on people. This is the state that wanted to make oreo cookies an age restrictred item, and the state that required electronic equipment not to use the master/slave nomenclature because it offended only one person. Obviously they did zero research on this before they had their knee-jerk reaction. I bet we will soon see warnings on bottled water like we do some other items... "This product is known to the state of California to cause an unknown disease.." Remind me never to live there.
Looking at the first PDF
file, it says "an IDC Whitepaper Sponsored by Microsoft." Exactly how is a study sponsored by MS considered to be
an objective third-party study?
I have noticed that the +R will work with only about 1/2 of the DVD-ROM drives and video players I have tried them in. I have never had this problem with the -R format. That is why I personally only use and recommend the -R format.
You may find it surprising that there are only 1000 fruitcakes on the entire planet. They are all just handed from person to person and never eaten, giving the appearance that there is actually quite a bit more.

GINF is a filessytem structurally similar to FAT and just by coincidence happens to be compatible, but is not FAT. Would some crazy idea like this work to dodge a patent? If you have a clean implementation of the filesystem that differs in specs from another fs are they really the same? I think it would really only be FAT if you use the microsoft driver. If you don't use the MS driver it must not be true FAT. LAME seems to use this idea; everyone knows LAME Aint an MP3 Encoder, it just so happens that by pure coincidence the files it outputs are compatible in an mp3 decoder.
This sounds like a vuln i read about on the register Tuesday night- http://theregister.co.uk/content/55/34186.html Is this the same vulnerabilities? The yahoo article doesnt elaborate much. Microsoft has already had 4 days to do a fix if this is the same.
I live in Tennessee and would love to take advantage of this for myself and my company. However, i see nowhere in the article about how to see if I am elegible or the procedure to file a claim. Does anyone have more information?

Why do you think he named his company MicroSoft? It is definitely a reference to Bill's (lack of) penis.

Actually its 76.43%. If you add a decimal point it greatly increases the accuracy of all made up statistics.
