You'd need extra wise people to take care of millions of children (unless you want the same ammount of caretakers as parents, which would be unpractical). Plus, who would have kids to never see them again?
I know you didn't mean it, yet it's an interesting question and it was done in an asimov book.
"Do you mean true audiophiles, or the clowns who buy power cables for a grand?"
When you copy MP3 files across a network, they often sound better if you replace the capacitors in your NIC with audio-quality ones.
Cause, otherwise, ones turn into 1.1s and zeroes into 0.2, reducing fidelity
Just in case anyone decides to do something useful with it, some guy decided to patent it. Too bad...
Maybe I'm not getting it right, what does pattentation (?) mean for people who want to do it?
IANARS (I am not a rocket scientist) but I do work for NASA. Although it may dissapoint you, these ideas which keep showing up on papers and slashdot are just that, ideas. Of the thousands of ideas for the Apollo project, only one (the cheapest and most rational) made it.
Therefore, you should expect these things to either never happen, or take 50+ years.
I work in a major statistics company, which was employed by Mozilla to track these downloads. I can tell you repeated downloads don't count since, similarly to XP activation, Firefox sends us a code generated according to the computer's hardware, which identifies each download. If the same computer downloads twice, it only ammounts to other statistics (i.e. whether people keep the installer or how many times they reinstall)
You could still give it to someone else... maybe it should give you the beer with a nipple while holding your dick.... that way you can neither go away nor give it to someone else.
this conversation just went a whole different direction:P
It's a matter of how imprecise your time is related to the earth. With nanosecond additions, you're too correct to care. With leap seconds, you're never more than a second off. With leap hours, you are never more than an hour off (meaning at some point you are 59 minutes away from solar time)

What about chatrooms with people stripping? This has got to be some kind of conspiracy, are we the only 2 ones out of this?

To stupid mods, both messages are jokes.
Couldn't agree more, I'm in the most cult period of my life (9th grade) and am studying middle and modern ages. Total collapse.

No, but you can run linux on a dead badger
was that a 1984 reference (newspeak)?
Meanwhile I'll be safe in Argentina
Shiver going down my spine... oh yeah I love slashdot
I think I saw it on wikipedia (sorry, no link), astronauts use some kind of hair gel to stop hair fall due to skull shrinking And a minty smell!

I wondered whether I'd think "BASTARDS!" if it were done by microsoft, but I think the patent's too specific to be annoying.
Damn! In my time we measured beer in pints, not bloody litres! A half-liter isn't enough for me and a liter gets my bladder going!

When does the next 500 year period end?
I personally think it's just one of those series with GREAT trailers and ads, but once they come out they're crap or just can't interest me.
Money trees = inflation
Amazing what you can learn from hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy
I wonder how good linux is for brickfilming... I use it but don't know any frame-by-frame apps.
Bunch of malvotchkas

- Search google
- Find un-useful results
- Unplug the speaker
Additionally, the computer doesn't beep when booting! yay!...
oky I can sleep in silence but having two clocks annoys me at times (tic toc... tic toc... tic toc...)
