Funny you fount it was artistic. I found it mechanical. No doubt it was given attention by its creators, but it was created, it did not create itself. In no way did it create itself. It was not crtistic in the way art has meaning, depth or vision, it was a re-hash, drawing from many influences but contributing none.
Well, I am not a wannabe programmer who idolises people... I am not a programmer, just someone who studied CS (well, joint math and computing to be precise, I do not see compting to be a standalone science, rather a bridge between engineering, maths, philosophy), but I prefer to get out there and do things. And D Kanuth is in no way an Einstein. I stand by my proving of programs point, can you prove whatever you produce via logic or do you prefer to idolise a 'CS' guy?... up to you.
Nothing wrong than a bit of logic to show your program works (this is what I assume you mean by proving, don't know who D Knuth is)... I remember all those crazy box-logic classes... if that method was used a bit more then maybe we wouldn't have such fallible systems.
I remember primary school. We used to paint, play musical instruments, read (and be read to) and roll down the grassy slope to see who could withstand the dizzyness the most.
If the computers could interact in this way then fine, but drone kids sitting at desks is a way of creating a drone recipient society rather than an active and questioning one.
Please search your previous diatribes for the words "federal agents". If the research is successful it is successful... the drug company will licence the patent and release their own variant... and 1 of the 2 global pharma companies is British... though pharma is such a wildfire industry, any biomed venture capital off shoot could come up with a global company.
This amount of material in (a tiny section of) the public domain being "virtually no studies to base any conclusions on" is just false. Medical studies take time but there are plenty being done.
Don't take the cr4p commercial providers throw at you, they want you to think they and you are right and everything else is wrong, so you trust and follow them more. Don't be a fool.
STFU etc etc, nice to copy another's sign-ogg, isn't it? And here I could be talking about important things like Gentoo.
funny how the layman has an opinion but doesn't respect the experts in the respective field because he has been drip-fed 'revolutionary' ideas by CNN, hippies, etc who want to get the glory but do not put in the effort to see if it works.
I can publish a book "hackers guide to the medical community... how physicians fail to pescribe the correct drugs" and if it makes a nice pretty logical explanation of the subject you will beleive me and not spend 9 years in college getting a pharma PhD and some research experience which would allow you a position to talk with some degree of knowledge.
Like how sys admins are always cr4p because the computers don't run 100% of the time or programmers allow bugs in their code - clearly incompetant. These things are just machines and instructions afterall, you must be incompetant not to prove your software/hardware through logic... so what's the point of testing it?
Why not run a PC without a BIOS.... it is little needed these days... Any why not email M$ your own devised EULA for them to run Windows (TM(R)(C)etc) on your hardware????
"When its as easy as kazaa and you can get almost instant gratification"... it is that easy. Yes I agree with you seeing a movie is enhanced by the finer points, but there is nothing hard about opening Kazaa, typing the name of the movie you want, double clicking on the version that seems to have the most 'users' and leaving the PC on overnight. Of course I am talking kazaalite.tk which gives instant access to the kazaa network at god-like karma.
Yes it is that easy... type the name, select a credible chance (selecting one with XviD and AAC is a bonus but not rare!!), double click, wake up the next day with the movie.
Of course, I completely condemn this behaviour if the download file is not permitted to be freely distributed. Do not download _copyrighted_ films. No.. Don't... Really!!!!
Not only that older stuff. Of the few DVDs I've bought American Psycho (Loin Gate Studios) is the worse... grain everywhere.... and this was only made about 3 years ago!
DVDs are not too big for broadband. MPEG-2 (DVD) can be converted to MPEG-4 (Xvid, DivX 5x or whatever) more than ^1/4 size but little reduction in video quality (and hey, AAC audio is on many Kazaa'd.AVIs, MP3'd audio is not awful).
So on a entry level broadband (512kbps) I can dl an almost DVD quality movie in 3 hours (no extras, but extras suck compared to the finished product).
DVDs (DVD-Rs being writable DVDs) can be reduced to VCDs with a few bells and whistles. there is not much scope for size-bloat to prevent size-reduction and pirating.
In HK (used to live there) you could buy _legal_ VCDs (menaing guaranteed quality, recoursability, etc) of the latest DVDs a month after DVDs hit the streets at only US$3/movie. HK has a lot of piracy, but this policy benefitted the legal distro channels and originating studios a lot.
And no mouse or keyboard. It may only run clock, and that is on the condition there is not a buffer overflow an easter egg built into minesweeper could take advantage of.
"26 letters and 0-9 are the best" but what about the punctuation marks? And spaces? Imagine communicating with the computer without spaces? Well, if we all wrote Chinese we wouldn't need spaces, we wouldn't need letters either, just particles (Chinese characters can be constructed from arrangement of 1, 2 or 3 of a small amount of simple shapes), nor would we need numbers.
What's next? Everyone must accept the latin script (or rather the English bastardisation of it)? What will I do when I want to code my APL, I'll have no greek letters to use. And damn, think about the amount of money the US will lose from the lack of expansion of IT in countries which no not use the bastardised latin script??? Hell, computers were _designed_ to run in English after all. No accent marks? Tough sh!t I say.

... they find a way to plug a C64 into broadband
I must interject my bot here. It got 4 replies from you. I will polish its analysis so it can get a little more.
Thanks, you have been most useful.

What gave you that idea?"?
Oh well, medical research takes place on the global field.
Here is a very simple trawl of BBC news over the past couple of months:
A link here (about MS), another here (about Alzheimer), another here about epileptics, some say it kills pain, oh, and here is something saying it may be available with a year. And this is a very simple search of the BBc website. How about searching the medical research council or even the medicine department of your local college.
This amount of material in (a tiny section of) the public domain being "virtually no studies to base any conclusions on" is just false. Medical studies take time but there are plenty being done.

STFU.
There's a bit of adverse selection their part too!
[economics joke, yeah yeah yeah]
India commits $0.5bn, China commits ~$0.4bn. Yeah great. But the USA is spending $400bn in 'defence'. In one year!!!
Please do not post FUD. I suggest reading the link in my sig to realise the real MS.
Why not run a PC without a BIOS.... it is little needed these days... Any why not email M$ your own devised EULA for them to run Windows (TM(R)(C)etc) on your hardware????
AAC... what was I thinking?!?!?!
Yes, I mean AC3, thanks for realising my typo!
Global cooperation.

MPEG-2 sucks unless it is done well.
