But war helps you get funding for things that would normally be hard to get. Human nature kind of screws us over there; we won't fund something that has no immediate benefit. War just helps us to see the possible future benefits more clearly. So while yes, war is bad and destroys a lot of things, it at least does have some small up side.
Wouldn't that mean the whole exercise was pointless sense anything that can be removed by hand would surely be blown away by wind going 1000s of miles per hour...?
I realize that the words are joking but I was referring to the whole 'art' form.
Comics aren't meant to be taken seriously either, but they don't go around calling their work 'geeky doodles'.
To me, to call the whole form a self deprecating name like "Nerdcore Rap" says I don't care about what I'm doing, why should you.
Why would you call your music Nerdcore or geeksta rap? I mean that just begs to be not taken seriously.
It's like a country/western singer calling their music 'Redneck rock' or pop calling it's self 'teen drivel'
Actually I'd say MS is one of the few companies that do actually lose out on money due to illegal copies.
Think about it, if I were to pirate Photoshop adobe doesn't really lose out because if I was unable to do so because it's not like I would fork out the money for it anyway. I'd just use some cheaper alternative.
But if I were unable to obtain a copy of windows... then there's really nothing else I can use if I want to use the majority of computer products. So I'd be forced to buy it. Therefore being able to pirate it does cost them a sale.
We request the same infomation from politicians to make sure they don't have conflicts of interest.
Should scientists who's reports can have a very real effect on policy be so diffrent?
For example we like to know if scientist is working for drug companys while writing reports on those drugs.
Just my 2 cents.
Which ones exactly?
Because from the front page of the site.
While you can't see any of the hardware left on the Moon (seeing one of the lunar rovers from Earth would be like trying to see a grain of sand on a beach while flying high overhead in a jet airliner
Well I would expect that if you put up a massive amount of wind turbines, I mean like everywhere.
That it would probably get hotter where it's already is hot, and colder where it's already cold. Basically just remove a bit of the balance of nature. But then again we've cut down so many trees it would probably put the balance back in;)
They aren't bullied because of good grades, their bullied cause their socially inept.
At my school are valedictorian was also in the student government, unpopular people don't get to be on the student government in high school.
While the 'know it all type' may get bullied it's not because he knows the answer it's because of the way he expresses himself. People don't like to feel dumb, no more then people want to feel weak or ugly.
It has nothing to do with being smart.
What makes that statement even worse is the irony of the fact that he is speaking on behalf of a company that apparently took in 4 billion from the movies and refuses to share that with the man that made it for them.
P.S. Someone should really explain to him how little 100 million goes toward rebuilding a whole city;)
Afghanistan has never been a "country" as you describe it. Even before the Russian invasion it was best described as an anarchy; the it was governed by war-lords. Even under the US-backed taliban rule one could hardly consider the taliban as a government representing (the majority of) the country.
You can call it what ever the hell you want, it doesn't change what it is.
But you are suggesting we had some sort of a moral right to kick "their" asses because "they" -- the majority of Afghan citizens -- elected the harbour terrorist training camps for Al Qaeda, the same way the US harbours Fort Knox.
Well consindering the asses we kicked was limited to the people that helped Al Qaeda, I would say yes, we did have the moral right to do it.

You never know... those wind, solar, and water power company lobbyists are a crafty bunch ;)
There's always someone who want's something their way.
They do.p ?CID=N00005656&cycle=2004

Ahh I see.
I was thinking in terms of optimization; I didn't think Intel would initially cripple the code.
Isn't it possible they just know their own product better and thus can create a better compiler for it?
Yah, but the Gemini is riged! Blue always wins. ;)

Of course it does; it's AMD's brief. ;)
Because there's still several billion bugs in the system :D
so...
3600 Han Solo's = 1 LoC = 24 Volkswagon Bugs
The Libary of Congress is smaller then I remeber.
No matter how cold it may keep it; putting something that heavy on top of the CPU can't be good for it.
Disregard this one... Posted before I was done typing ;)

Wow same with me. I remeber playing this game way back when and playing to for hours on end but never could beat it.
