A hand gesture or a proclamation of alegence?
Casheer: "That'll be $12.95, do you praise Bill?"
Buyer: "Yeah"
or optionally:
Buyer shows casheer hand gesture when walking up with items. Hand facing forward with all but the middle finger up. (strains my hand just trying that)
God knows what you will choose to do, but that doesn't take away your free will.
If I leave my dinner on the coffee table to get something out of the kitchen, I know my dog will eat it. When he does, I punish him. By punishing him, he learns not to eat my dinner when I'm away.
Sure I'm setting a trap for him, but it's needed in order to train him. It's still his own free will to eat the food, but he's very predictable. To God, we're very predictable.
God created diversity. He also created free will. God wants people who will follow him of their own free will, and in order for that to happen, he needs to create evil for there to be a choice. Evil chooses to be evil, it's not a puppet of God's. No more then my dog is my puppet by eating my dinner like I thought he would.
BTW: There's an old saying: "If God's so good, why do bad things happen to good people?" The answer: "God created free will and bad people choose to do bad things. If God protected the good people, he'd be taking away the free will of the bad people."
1 DVD holds 4.7 Gigs (@ $1-$2 each) 7 CDs hold 4.9 Gigs (@ $.20 each, 700M disks)
5 New storage cubes hold 5.0 Gigs (@ $.20 each??)
Unless they're incredably cheap to make, they're not going to win any price wars with CDs or DVDs. Even at $1 each, they'd cost over twice as much as DVDs for the same amount of storage. Their only advantage is they're skip proof.
Even size isn't an advantage if you need 5 cubic centimeters to store as much as a DVD.
Also, time is not the 4th dimension, unless you're watching Dr. Who.
So true. If I have a box that's 6x6x6 inches, how much time does it have? Can you build a box that has 6 inches of time?
Objects in a 2 dimentional world can still have time, so does time then become the 3rd dimention?
Time is the change in properties of an object, not a property of the object.
I spend a lot of time in Seattle, but I'd never go looking for a girlfriend there. Who knows what you'd catch.
I use to live in Tukwila, which is where I met my wife, and that's how most of the girls are there. Same with the Port Orchard/Gig harbor area where I lived with my Dad. Both areas are only half an hour from the cities, but far enough away to avoid their influence too much.
Big cities have big city girls.
They're in the NorthWest too. Here in Washington, most girls are nature loving hikers/bikers.
My wife has a pair of diamond ear rings she got from her mom, but I rarely see her wear them. In the 9 years we've been married, she's worn them maybe 3 times. Usually, she's in shorts, shirt, and Nikeys working on her small goat farm.
They're out there, just don't try impressing them with your wealth.;)

Each of those cubes hold 1 Gig, right?

I'm actually working on a project similar to this. Email me, I'd like to get your opinion on some of my ideas.

Looking on PCMall:
Windows XP Home Ed: $198
Upgrade: $98
Additional Licence: $189 (save $10!)
XP Pro: $299
XP Pro upgrade: $199
Mac OSX v.10.3 Panther: $108
So OSX 10.3 is only $10 more then a WinXP upgrade. Sounds like a good deal to me.
The first thing I thought of when I saw it: 153
Can't get more compact then that.

I thought of that too. They only want video for each day it's alive AFTER it beats the current record. So here's what you do:
Take mouse #1, submit it, have it tagged, freeze it.
One month later, do the same with mouse #2
And so on.
1 week before beating the current record, thaw mouse #1 and let it live the rest of it's life out, videotaping it each day.
Once mouse #1 dies, thaw out mouse #2. Since mouse #2 is a month younger then mouse #1, it hasn't beat the record yet.
rinse, lather, repeat.
Eventually, you'll have 10+ year old mice with just a touch of frostbit on it's toes.
What happened to the good old days when the teachers got Apples? Now they get PCs?
There goes Apple's monopoly. Oh wait, that died a few years ago.

IBM is an evil corporation, don't get me wrong, but it's nice to see them excercising a little enlightened self interest and playing chicken with SCO.
They're playing chicken all right, but IBM's a Euclid R260 and SCO's a Honda Civic.
When playing chicken, NEVER play against someone who won't take any damage if they don't turn.
