not quite, although the term asteroid is in fact incorrect because asteroids are strictly considered to be objects from the asteroid belt between mars and jupiter. Meteors is probably the closest term, but again this is something manmade so calling it by it's name is probably the best term but if you had to use something probably meteor or meteorite
Anybody actually from VT postin here? I think it's kinda crazy how few ppl know about the supercomputer even on campus, I mean everyone knows our football ranking but tell the average joe on campus we have the 3rd fastest supercomputer in the WORLD, and they're like, really? where? In point of fact I dun even know where they're storing this thing on campus *wants to go and drool*
oh well, too bad hokie pride's only allowed to apply to sports eh?
only the ripped ones though, the store-bought still use that nasty.m4p nastiness iirc (haven't tried it myself but that's what I understood, correct me?)
Well for only a few days that ain't half-bad, I really love the system they've got going in the iTunes Music store, I dun think Napster is really gonna use it's "huge market potential because of brand recognition" as much as ppl think, more like "wth, you have to PAY??", unless napster pulls some very nice stuff with their client, iTunes should stay ahead of the game(hopefully).
only wish they would break the country boundary (yes I know that's not easy)
haha I just remebered what they used back in the day to "verify" your age for the LSL games, there was like a cycling list of questions about the 70s XD
but seriously, I see through its disguise, this is just Sierra's attempt to cash in on the whole GTA craze, only where GTA had violence, this has sex!
not to say if it works I won't play....

soooo, basically, if middle-class stockbroker Bob Schmoe doesn't know his son is downloading mp3s and warez, the feds can just hop in and seize his comp, and put him away without ever having to hear from some company? Whatever happened to "Stop, thief!".... bleh...
However, nothing can explain Elite: The Musical.
nothing can explain Lobster magnet or any of the other bits of crap all over the net XD tis 'splainable:P
Those things are soooo yummy, if I had a million dollars, some of it would go to an xserve array, just for fun, it'd be like the equivalent of some movie star buying like, some diamond coffee table or something "oh haha, and yeah that's my Xserve over there, oh no I don't really use it much, it's just to brighten the room up"
that's it! there's how British Airways saves the cost of scrapping the Concordes, JAM! I can see it now, "Helping you get to work that much faster, Concorde Jam(tm)"
agreed, when my friends and I do a LAN we ALWAYS end up doing at least a few games of UT on Face and Hall of Giants (or whatever), and hell yes we enjoy it, variety is certainly nice, but if you could play a game to death by simply repeating maps and skins, then nobody'd be playing, console or otherwise...mods are fun, not required...
hey man, dun underestimate the fine Dietrick Cafeteria ladies, truly though, VT is highly wired, especially where they're housing it, place is this close having ethernet jacks in the bathroom
In geologic terms, glacier melting really doesn't make a huge impact on sea level rise or fall, there won't be a water world cuz of the glaciers melting, they are however, important to the water cycle, far more important than miami being the next Atlantis. So although it's not really proven the "Global Warming" theory is absolutely correct, and the change is slight, we best tread carefully, we honestly dun know what we kind of effect we can have, almost 90% of life on earth went extinct millions of years ago because a little bacteria decided to suck in all the CO2 and pump out 02 (poisonous to most life at that time), so whether or not we should run for the hills cuz of this, is really a moot point, we just need to be cautious, and learn from our planet's past.
Nah, some day they'll prolly just have some chip you put into babies and then you just pay to activate it's different services, PDAs and Cell phones merging is such kid stuff:P
true tho, alot of ppl use the cells instead of the PDAs these days, especially those who still use day planners and stuff (I know many ppl, mostly non-geeks but hey), although as evidenced by the 8 gazillion ppl on campus these days with cell phones, the cells are certainly eclipsing PDAs in the sheer numbers race.
