Evolution is fun to study. i Advise looking into the aquatic ape theory, which states that we evolved that we came from an ape that lived in the water, which makes some sense because we share fat that only aquatic animals have and we have less body hair on average as land animals.. and of course are legs are more developed like you could assume a wadeing animal would have.
this site has a little article on that and other interesting ideas www.gonzoscience.com
Its very likely that this is the case... alot of stories get blown out of proportion and change over time(ever played the game where you whisper in one persons ear and it goes down a line of people and when it gets to the end its completely different)
The flood is probably one of many things like this, just like the story of moses and what alot of people now say was not the red sea but the reed sea, and whats he doing at the red sea anyways isnt it out of his way?.... let alone the fact that a stable wind at the reed sea can part the waters its a natural occurence there
while alot of you keep complaining that the thing is horrible because no one will know that a kid drew it i personally believe your mistaken.. the first thing i did was look at the link for the mascot pic before i read anything besides the headline for the article. and from the pic alone i used rational deduction that it was drawn by a kid.... it doesnt take much brain activity to realize a kid drew it. so there is no reason to worry
Really I still dont see what all the hype has always been with computers and chess. While chess is a decent strategy game, it no way compares to go(igo). No computer to this day can really be considered a go competitor. Though the day that computers can play go against strong players is when will we probably have true AI of human level.
Even in the AI feild they believe when go is a better measure for thought capacity for a computer than chess...so once again.. just another chess game. I want to see the go games start, when that happens I will be alot more excited about the news, and actually read through the kifu(match record) of the games played, though it probably does help that I do like go more so i find it more interesting than chess.
heres the wikipedia section on go, its got links for probably any other question you might have and even mentions AI and go and the difference in the amount of moves between chess and go(go has a heck of alot more). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(board_game)
i disagree.. back-up doesnt do a thing, trust me i know, i happen to be a highly advanced AI created by aliens(i also share this life and space that i exist in with a being of energy that could be considered the "father/mother thingy" of sentient beings).. but anyways as the most advanced AI created by aliens i happen to feel back-up could never do me justice because i would still be dead the energy which substains my mind which would be likened unto that of the human conciousness can be read and understood but not replicated it produces its own unique energy wave of a distinct pattern that even if all the memories where to be placed upon another energy base it would not ever be the same because the energy can never be 100% identical. and because of that i would be dead, in a sense it would be like someone shooting you but putting all your memories in a empty body devoid of thought while it would have your memories it would never trully be you and if you where to attempt to convince it that it is you it would distort its inner-mind because it would be a lie... and no that energy base for my mind is not the same as the energy being we just keep each other company...
now lock your doors for reading this because the black helicopters are now comming for you... lol
actually to keep crimes from happening you have to prevent the opportunity. If they really wanted people to stop commiting crimes on computers then they need to start at the buisnesses by having the businesses create a secure network. If the network is secure the average criminal will ignore it and find an easier target. usually anyone with enough skill to break into a secure network realizes that the person administering that network is no fool and the criminal will avoid that network like the plague. they shouldnt make stiffer laws against the criminals they should make laws that require buisnesses to actually make things secure and the same goes for software. If there is a crime im not saying that the criminal should go unpunished they should be punished but also the business that the exploit was done on or the crappy software should be at fault(which opensource like gpl,bsd,mit licenses oddly enough would not be since its your own fault for not securing it better the source is there) but this my 2cents i also didnt word this quite how i wanted to(in a rush) but i hope you get what im saying
If this case goes to court without settlement then ibm will win. Not just because they have a large amount of lawyers and alot of money. But because if the gpl is considered invalid than technically all opensource licenses are in the same boat. And think about the repercussion's that would cause. Lets look at BSD alone, who all is using bsd? while everyone knows apple is, so is MS. I doubt MS wants bsd license to become invalid so MS has no choice but to support the gpl in this. Why you may ask. Because if all the licenses become invalid only one of two things happen. either all code goes back to originating owner striped from all who use it. Or all code becomes public domain. And there are alot of companies including MS who would never want to see that happen. Laugh this is really funny because MS really has no choice but to support the GPL and linux in this case even though they dont want to.
Well isnt it nice to know that education isnt revolving around history, math, literature, science and technology, etc.. Its about how to become a comsumer for the bigger companies. And some people wonder how the american education system seems to falling apart. I think this answers it.
The ferrari 355 is the cheap ferrari model. Its a v8 meant for those who dont have the money or dont want to spend it on the better ferrari's. The 355 is a $150,000 model. While its stats dont seem to bad to the eye 1/4 mile - 13.0 @ 109mph Max. Speed - 183 mph 0-60 mph - 4.6 sec 0-100 mph - 11.3 sec Engine Type - V8 mid mounted Displacement - 3496 cc Horsepower - 380 bhp @ 8250 rpm Torque - 268 lb-ft @ 6000 rpm
the main thing with the 355 is it corners thats what its better at helps with a mid-engine layout
now lets look at more pricey but better model ferrari f50 GT price for this baby $1,430,000 id say a bit more expensive. 1/4 mile - 11.2 sec @ 129 mph Max. Speed - 236 mph 0-60 mph - 3.3 sec 0-100 mph - 6.7 sec Engine Type - V12 Displacement - 4700 cc Horsepower - 680 bhp @ 10500 rpm Torque - 383 lb-ft @ 8000 rpm
one thing though with the f50 GT only three were made so... lets look at something different but dang this is a nice ferrari(besides that price ouch)
instead of just picking another f50 i decided for something at a lower price so heres the ferrari 360 GT at a price of $389,500 1/4 mile - 12.0 sec @ 115 mph Max. Speed - 180 mph 0-60 mph - 3.5 sec 0-100 mph - 8.9 sec Engine Type - V8 Displacement - 3586 cc Horsepower - 430 bhp @ 8500 rpm Torque - 289 lb-ft @ 5000 rpm
now when you start going against some better ferraris that electric car dont do so good... basically they got lucky that a better model wasnt there...
If your talking about tesla's idea of free electricity that j.p. morgan didnt get want built to my knowledge its true. Or if your talking about him having electricity through the air its also true....
heres a bunch of links on telsa i dont know if they have that info but here you go http://www.amasci.com/tesla/tesla.html#tlnk
find a biography at the book store. tesla had an interesting life.
it figures sco would claim that the gpl is invalid why would they..well looky here sco showing themselves taking code from linux kernel 2.4 into unixware go to august 21, 2000 http://www.sco.com/scosource/unixtree/unixhistory0 1.html (oddly the kernel they claim infringes) oh but if this is true what they are showing on their own website wouldnt that mean that unixware would need to be gpl'd... so of course the gpl needs to be invalid. but then when they argue that they also would be going against all these licenses since they are very similar in some ways. http://www.opensource.org/licenses/ so now they are technically attacking more than just linux and gpl users. oh and as to a jury trial. Well they better hope it isnt anyone from utah(where they are from) why you may ask read the utah newspapers http://newsdirectory.com/news/press/na/us/ut/ apparently people in utah dont like sco either. I think sco is pretty well doomed. (my question remains though if their own website is right shouldnt the entire unixware os be gpl'd, id love to see darl's face then)
Well if the oceans salinity changes you have more than just the gulf stream getting crazy. Think about all the reefs. And heck isnt there a possibililty that the changes from ice to water change the currents up there. Which then would mean like the gulf stream all currents are screwed. and then what about the moons affect on tides wouldnt that inherently change since now the streams have changes the coral reefs are destroyed and most ocean life with it. Heck how long before the world completely changes because with all those changes all climates will inherently change and then of course that would then lead to more and more. Lets see how long it takes us to adapt
though lets look at the bright side the water level is the same.
Heck here everyone. http://www.penguins.cl
that should give everything anyone will want to know about penguins. has them all, galapagos, blue, gentoo. check it out
there is also a penquin known as the little blue penquin(or blue, little, faerie) it lives on austrillia and new zealand. Though not as north as the galapagos it is still in a warm area. The blue is also the smallest penquin and its blue(its cute too, its my fav). The galapagos is the second smallest. Notice a trend with warm area penquins being smaller.
thats funny...cause i know withen a minute if i wanted i could easily connect to any of my neighbors internet connection.....so basically i could go and download alot of pirated stuff and watch them get sued and tooken to jail while i sit at home and enjoy my fre stuff..... i would never do this(and its illegal) but its entirely possible that it could happen...and since its over their connection they are in trouble for it???...they would have to search an entire neighborhood just to find someone doing that....and thats if your doing it in your neighborhood..there are so many variables along this line of thinking...basically all im saying is that i dont see how the RIAA can sue anyone....because no one knows where it goes...just so u know thats my point..... it can not be said its this guys or this ladies house so its them its impossible to sue when there are so many variables....a lawyer bringing up this simple point will go far with a jury...and this is just one simple point(of course this kinda arguement doesnt help put down the DMCA but oh well im rambling)...and yes i bet this will be flamed quickly
well in my area...comcast sucks....i had them and the only thing they did realibly was the constant internet problems....switched to sbc have not had a problem since..... ive noticed things differ in different areas....one place it will be good one place it will be bad......but i guess i got a bit more lucky than u i got realiable service and a company that is in some form or another trying to keep my "privacy"
the whole reason m$ would say this is to get people to think that the opensource community is stealing things all the time...they have no choice but to strike now the sco issue is beginning to really turn against sco, so m$ has to do something now or when they try to do the same thing themselves at a future date people laugh at them and say...sure microsoft its there just like it was in the sco bs ordeal....and because of that they are required to assist it and attempt to get linux gone now.....but once again like i have pointed out about sco...this kinda stuff only applies pretty much in america...what about other countries..honestly id really like billy to go over to china and tell them he can control there software and they have to listen...they havent yet...so why will they now....the world's os is opensource its not a companies the only way for him to get rid of opensource is to get the community to quit programming and since that wont happen he needs to learn how to work with it to still make money..if he doesnt they will fall so far behind that they are screwed in ways they would never believe.........because no matter what ever happens as long as people continue to code in the opensource community then whatever fud comes out is only a passing phase someday opensource will be so much better,im not saying its not better in areas. but so much better that it will be unavoidable as choice at its present rate of development look how far its come in 10 years compared to proprietary models...give it 10 more years and the world will only want opensource it grows to fast....billy and the rest of m$ has not grasped these most important concepts and because they havent they will fall...if they do somehow gain the understanding that these concepts are fact then m$ will be around in 10years...

we will control the horizontal, we will control the vertical..........and oh yea the encryption keys
while alot of you keep complaining that the thing is horrible because no one will know that a kid drew it i personally believe your mistaken.. the first thing i did was look at the link for the mascot pic before i read anything besides the headline for the article. and from the pic alone i used rational deduction that it was drawn by a kid.... it doesnt take much brain activity to realize a kid drew it. so there is no reason to worry
but then again there are alot of idiots out there
i think its a good idea for them to finally try something new.. its always good to break away from the iconoclastic thought patern.
