Of course! This woman should be liable for accidentally injuring herself with a drink intentionally made unfit for human consumption, because ordinary human beings never spill drinks on themselves. Ever....
I really hate it when someone cites the McDonalds coffee case, as if hearing 2 sentences about it on the radio qualifies as being able to pass judgement. The coffee was heated to between 180 and 190 degrees, as per instructions from whatever division of McDonalds decides tempuratures of coffee. This is almost boiling, folks. That coffee is barely even safe to drink. (Coffee is usually served at about 140 degrees, and 155 degrees is not sufficient to burn.) The woman in the case was hospitalized for eight days and recieved skin grafts. Testimony in court showed that 1) McDonalds knew this temperature was unsafe, but used it anyway, 2) McDonalds knew people typically didn't wait for their coffee to cool, and 3) over 700 people claim to have recieved 3rd degree burns from McDonalds coffee in the previous decade.
Or you could just imagine spilling a cup full of 180 degree coffee on your crotch.
A good RAID can beat 100 megabytes a second. This will saturate a 1000Mbit connection. xbitlabs.com has some benchmarks on various RAIDS and RAID controllers that I found interesting.
Most of the online "gambling" is poker, which is primarily a game of skill (if your bankroll isnt tiny). Poker is NOT played against the casino, but other players. The casino has no incentive to cheat. All it does is sit back and rake money off the top of the pot.
Apparently you either forgot about the game of poker or don't know anything about it; in either case, you're incorrect. If you want to know "what idiot" gambles online, i know several people who make a living doing it, and several more that use it as an important supplement to their income.
No, I don't think he is. Turing machines aren't really that useful of a concept. For example, I just got one recently, but couldn't figure out how to thread the tape through the reader.
What linux distro do you use? How much software did the distrubutors "steal" for that distro? OS X uses its own kernel, own *nix variant (Darwin, which is open source), and almost every GUI app was made by Apple or NEXT...
As my first venture into Linux, recently installed Mandrake on my PC. It's very nice, but except from the various *drake installers and configurators, everything (as far as I could tell) is third-party.
Parent is a troll, karma whore, not a professor, does not teach at any college, makes up credentials, is Satan incarnate, and likes to club baby seals on their heads. Parent should be modded down 12 times, then banned from the Internet.
They go through the books and replace names. The artistic value of a charachter's name is tiny in comparison to all the other stuff in a book. "Travesty" is much too harsh. Putting Beethoven's 5th in a Barry Manilow song would be a travesty. This book thing is pretty harmless.

(Spoilers) Yeah, he left out the part where you fight a one-eyed duck in a space suit. SO much cooler than the hedgehog.
Because R=2, clearly.
We used to use it, but then it was outsourced to India.
Better yet, why not leave obsolete technology behind and move to POP64?
(har har)

Except none of those technologies actually *exist*. Check Google. That should be obvious, but hey, someone modded this "informative"...

Except "progressive" is a historical term dating back before the 1920s in the U.S.
It does seem like it won't be long before Disney's bought the farm.

Haven't you posted this before?
Die Lederhosen sind zerstorben. Coca-Cola uber alles.
because you know, in Soviet Russia, the DVDs watch you.
How on earth did he plagarize you 6 minutes before you posted the original? Could it be that he posesses a time machine, or just that you're an idiot?
Get fired from Caltech?
...scanners really will live in vain. Sorry, I couldn't think of anything cleverer.
You went from a nonexistent university to Howard Community College to Caltech? Looks like your career's on track.
Is that flame the best you can do? It doesn't even apply to the context.

Now if only they can make Mox Diamonds cheaper...
I love the "informative" mod right there.
