No. It is impossible. No one can KNOW GOd exists. Everyone must have faith that he exists. Once you know, you no longer have faith and you no longer have a reason to be on the planet.
Precisely.. Look at the marketing monstrosity the internet has become. You think the universe can hold out as apolitical, anti-ownership, and all that jazz? FAT chance!! Humans are competitive and don't like to share. Plain and simple. As such, space will be conquered and sold to the highest bidder. Better be prepared for the day when the government (worldwide gov't, no doubt) passes another Homestead Act making space a "first come, first served" kinda deal. I better start building my own personal rocket, eh?!
Lord knows I want prime land there on Mars! Perhaps overlooking Valles Marinaris (sp?) or even on top of Olympus Mons! In fact, I hereby clami all of Olympus Mons. Sorry, guys. Yo uwanna hike the tallest mountain in the universe? Gotta gimme $10 Martian per day.:-)
Any REAL sysadmin would remove Windows games as they are, obvious, nonessential to getting actual work done. If you cannot, in fact, remove Solitare or other Windows games, hide them. My guess is that his boss is not competent enough to find it himself. On top of that, he shouldn't have the rights to install anything on his machine. That's what sysadmins do.. they keep shit off of computers that don't need to be there. It's not too damn difficult.
The man in questionshould have approached his grandboss about these "security precautions" before spying on his boss. Bad move, dude!
What's to stop someone from strapping a well-blanced magnet to their driveshaft and creating a coil around that? Plug that all into a spare battery you keep in the trunk and charge it up all day. Get home, plug in, PROFIT! If there's an issue with losing power to the rear wheels (as you don't get power for free), then work out a system for your wheels or any number of spinning parts on a vehicle. Hell, if it spins, make it return juice to your battery. Bah.. I'm sure there's some mis-step in my logic somewhere.
Assuming each and every employee has a computer dedicated to them which is doubtful. Janitors, machinists, etc do not need a personal computer at work. How about parking lot security or the guys watching the doors to the classified areas? No personal computers for them.
You're only allowed to look if they want you to look. If they don't WANT you to look, it's sexual harassment. Otherwise they absolutely love it! What a bunch of shit.
A bike can certainly carry a heavier load than a Segway. It's all about where you place the load, my friend. Your back, one of the higher spots on the bike, is NOT a good place to put it. Saddle bags, luggage racks over the front and rear wheels and, perhaps, something over the handle bars would be a bit more effective that trying to balanace a fully loaded pack on your back whilst bicycling.
Who's to say that my tax dollars should subsidize ANYTHING? The gov't should take a few dollars from me as is possible. If that meant cutting most social services.. great. Let people fend for themselves. Subsidies is simply one step closer to socialism. If you want socialism, move to England and pay taxes to listen to the damn radio in your car. But for God's sake, don't have the gov't fronting the money so some farmer's wife can play Boggle and do crosswords online faster tahn 5 k/s.
Yes.. America needs a boatload of sheriffs like this guy. You know they used to have webcams in their city jail?! Sweet!! I can't seem to find them now..
Humans are not too valuable to risk. There are currently 6 billion+ people on this planet. Even if we lost 6 million men and women in a quest to conquer space, that would be a mere 1/1000th of the population. Barely a scratch..
Point is, sacrifices must be made to advance humanity. If a man is willing to sacrifice his life, that is his choosing and you should be grateful. Just because you don't possess the same ambition and daring, doesn't mean others should be restrained.
In the spirit of my view.. I would happily volunteer to be the first man on Mars.
Hell.. why don't you have one server for mail, one for DNS, one for HTTP, one for service X..? 'Cause it's convenient to pack it all into one box! Same idea here..
The idea is to make life easier and give you more time to enjoy life. Remember the optimism of the 50s.. (at least in America)? The idea was for there to be less time spent working and more time spent playing without sacrificing on the amount of work done. Make work faster.. make everything easier. Having one remote is far easier than having 6. Believe me.. I've got plenty and wish I had this bad-boy. Let's see.. TV, cable box, stereo receiver, DVD player, home automation.. That's five.
I understand your point, though. America is getting FAT and not having to get up from the couch to change the channel certainly isn't helping. However, keep in mind that a lot of people do still get outside and participate in physical activity. I, for instance, play hockey quite regularly, and spend my weekend hiking, going to the lake etc.. I don't need the extra workout of turning my tv on at the tv itself.
So this remote is handy and attractive to manywithout the fear of them getting fat.
Absolutely right.. I feel no regret whatsoever when I download CDs. It has even gotten to the point that I download CDs despite intending to listen to them or not. I download them 'cause they're there. Fuck the RIAA, MPAA and anyone else who fucks their customers.
Ever since I started visiting and participating here on Slashdot, I swear I can actually SEE the decline of society in action. I mean, holy shit! I'm an American and I love this country, but I SERIOUSLY am beginning to think that it's all downhill from here. I mean, at what point do I start paying a fee to Ford and Chevy for changing my own damn oil? When do I start paying Mossimo, Billabong and Levis for wearing their clothes more than the allotted number of times? And when do I start paying Slashdot for every time I request the index page?! This is ABSOLUTELY INSANE!
Eventually, the IT industry will be spread evenly across the entire globe. We're like plumbers. Everyone needs a plumber and everyone needs PC techs, IT managers, et cetera. I'm sure the plumbing industry started out in a few locales and plumbers got pissed when their company decided to hire plumbers and train plumbers in Africa instead of sending the plumbers back at home to do the job.

Slashdot not rendering properly is not a problem with Firefox, rather a problem with the non-standard codebase of Slashdot.

Unless, of course, it was 6 million from a single population (eg. the Jews) and in a relatively short time frame.
Rutan is the man.. If the Canucks beat him, I'll gladly lick the armpits of every guy on the team.. even the big, fat, sweaty ones.
Yes.. America needs a boatload of sheriffs like this guy. You know they used to have webcams in their city jail?! Sweet!! I can't seem to find them now..
Eh.. That's why I installed the AdBlock extension for Firefox. problem solved..
Absolutely hilarious.. I laugh my ass off everytime GW says "Yea ha!"
And a big LMAO!! to the Bill Clinton bit..

I'm sure it can be hacked if you're good. Turn it into a nice little PDA and check TV listings from it!!

We've discounted confluences in the oceans and some near the poles, but there are still 12,889 to be found.
You damn sissy! If you're gonna do a project, why do it half-way?! What a damn bum..
DOn't let the cold or the middle of the ocean stop ya'. Man has been to both poles. Man has covered the ocean. Why can't you do it now?

If I had mod points, I'd mod the parent up.
not that anyone is gonna buy one of these monstrosities.. not that toyota would even build the things.
