Well - In my eyes a real scientist would never ever say that he had the complete and final answer(Except if it was 42!) - thats the whole point of science - you cant prove beyond any doubt that a given theory is valid.
Religions on the other hand often claim they have the fonal answer(And its never "Sorry for the inconvenience)
Well - my main, and not really scientific reason to regard your arguments as silly:
Religiopus masters have always stated things as being the truth without giving much evidence, but just making people saying otherwise look silly.
The earth is flat you said - it has shown no to be.
The earth is the center of the universe - it has shown not to be.
Several of these silly statements have come out of religion, and at some point religious masters have just lost their credebility(spelling?).
It is comparable to scientist that shout up and say that they have come up with some cheap way to produce endless energy - today, and it wont cost anyone anything.. They just need $10m to build the prototype and we will all be happy!
The fifth time he has failed to come up with this miracle machine, would YOU give him the money when he came and claimed the same thing once more?
But as you think - its not really worth discussing as none of us would probably change out minds!:)
A little not - afair it isnt the deep linking part that is illegal in denmark - deep linking is legal in denmark, as it should be - the thing newsbooster did wrong according to the judge, was to do database lookups in the newspapers sources.
That is - on THIS occation the court found it to be similar to a database lookup in someone elses database - something that is illegal without prior permission.
One note - I just woke, and its a long time i read about the start of the case(its ½-1 year old i believe), so my memory should not be trusted at all!:D
Since the Sun isn't a rigid body, you'll probably strip the chromosphere right off of it, and leave the core bare. This, however, won't due much except really really confuse distant astronomers.
Just wondering - could it manifest as massive gamma radiation? Because then I would say that those "gamma-explosions" that astronomers have discovered recently is probably E.T. playing pool...
The early beta is probably the reason nVidia wouldn't release this before. They don't want to see numbers I like this out in the public before they're ready.
Ready for what - making some optimizations to the drivers to make them look good in some random benchmark?
Ofc the drivers are beta, and the final release will probably be faster, but these figures look more realistic than the figures Nvidia told when the card was announced!
And tbh, unless things change drasticly(they seldom do), this card will probably not be much more than 20-25% faster than an radeon 9700 - but the radeon will probably be a bit more than 20-25% cheaper at that time!
Besides - who cares about those $400+ gfx cards? No sane person would buy them anyway, but instead go for a Ti4200 or Radeon 9500 Pro - value for money you know...:)
As far as I have seen so far,.NET is basicly the MS version of.NET, with a bit more features(doesnt require your code to be a single language), but a class library that havent matured(Bad docs some places, far less classes).
So if I had the chance, I would use Java any day, but some customers just really wants that new MS thing...;o)
(This is in no way MS bashing btw -.NET/c# is alle in all pretty nice compared to what there was, but its just not something new)
I believe som kind of wheels are mounted so in case of a power failure, the train would just stop and run to a halt slowly - no problem there!
About the magnetic fields affecting credit cards - I really cant imagine that the magnetic field would be strong enough to matter as it would make such trains of very little use - so I would guess they have solved it some way!
Slashdot Mirror
Even though I very much agree with your opinions, why isn't all these USA vs Iraq post modded to -1, Offtopic?!?
I'm afraid you forgot Elvis Presley...
1000 sysadmins dedicated to setting up spam filters dont block 1000 times as much spam as a single sysadmin dedicated to spam blocking is.
More likely the 1000 would only block something like 1-5% more spam compared to the single guy - THATS why youre argument isnt valid...
rm -r Europa
hmmm... strcmp? ;D
Quake is good at OpenGL rendering, Unreal is not - so you cant really compare the two! :)
Toms doesnt seem to like the double slahsdotting! :o)

popfile
:)
Silly tired me!
I just recently started to use popfile, but so far it looks good!
Does this meen that we will be able to order a A4 sheet of cluster any time soon?
A whole new definition of the term vaporware?
Cool - then we can print a beowulf cluster of brains...
The site seem to be slashdotted though
Could anyone please paste the text here - sounds interesting!

Weird - I work in an advertising company - and we use just about 50/50 macs/pc. No one has problems - we are just used to different platforms!
But both get the job done, which is the important bit imho...
Linux on xbox only works on modded xboxes - this would be the same on the first generation of palladium - "just" replace the bios.
But when the palladium stuff starts to be implemented in your CPU, you start to have a problem with this solution!

All in all - Be happy - MagLev is nice!
Why do people mod up people that have no idea what the are talking about???
The courts WAS involved and the ISP turned over the Customer info due to a court ruling!
So please stop modding people up that doesnt have a clue!
Indeed!
Remember - there actually is a world outside the US, where the justice system works!
I am 99.999% sure that our(the danish) courts wouldnt nail you if you were innocent...
And apart from the Geeky, Selfcentered, preaching maniacs - whats wrong with Linux? ;D
Well - enough of this - someone might think I'm serious...
I know! :)
;)
I just thought the message I replied to was a bit funny!
It was like saying: Besides the killing/robbing/theft and stealing, what is wrong with crime???
