More likely it will be a help to you, if you pay attention to your brain. In that case, you'll remember the article better because of the typo and it will also be easier to get a direct hit on google. Instead of a few million hits that you get with the correct spelling, you'll probably find it with "I'm felling lucky."
(anyway, looks like it's been corrected already, so the point is moot)
The fact that they are even unsure about it with such a clear photo makes me wonder how they can show some fuzzy picture of a blob and tell you they've discovered a sun with 3 planets.
I have never been to Walmart -- there's something evil about the place that has made me steadfastly resist. However, after checking out Playboy's "Girls of Walmart," my resolve did waver a little.
The device (car stereo) is not the thing causing the problem, it's the jackass using it at 2am. Just call the cops and let them deal with it. Noise ordinance laws usually have pretty hefty fines ($400-$500), and if it's as loud as you say as often as you say it shouldn't take very long for them to get caught.
Either you've never actually tried this, or you lucky enough to live in a very unusual place. I've tried calling the cops and their answer was "Go talk to them and see if you can get them to turn it down" and then after further discussion, they say they can get someone to come out in an hour or two. That really helps a bunch.
Yeah, that's the ticket. It has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that the rider didn't get enough breast feeding as a baby. Who could possibly think that it is a desparate cry for attention?
Don't these goofballs understand simple arithmetic? The fewer morons who vote, the more powerful your vote is!
I try to discourage people, especially apathetic people, from voting. After all, why bother? No matter how hard you vote, you'll still get a politician.
I never quite understood the GMail "1 Gigabyte" either. If the deal is that you can't delete your old messages, then eventually you'll hit that limit. Then what?
That's why only 2 MB of Hotmail storage rocks. It keeps the thing clean and tidy because you don't let cruft accumulate. The other unnecessary 1,998 MB is just going to be piled up spam and the whole thing will become useless.
Ayn Rand's famous novel Atlas Shrugged pretty much says everything there is to say about society being swallowed whole by such slackers. It's a good read, to boot!
Hmm. So the creature capable of divinely creating humans would come from where? It doesn't seem like the capability divine creation is an important factor in survival, either.
If you drop your computer in a swimming pool, the software will probably stop working correctly. Does that mean you need to go review and debug your code to find the "software bug" that caused the problem?
Anyone who's had much experience with the Windows hibernate feature (especially the first year or so it was released) knows that a fresh batch of 0's and 1's on each boot works more consistently.
"Memory errors are RAMPANT" -- Oh my gawd! How will I sleep tonight?
The big savings I found for mine is as a standby generator.
This sounds insteresting, but somewhat suspect.
Could you provide a little more detail, such as how you got AC and the right voltage and how you avoid attempting to power the whole local grid? Do you have to first turn off all your breakers (or remove fuses)?
I played for a while, but I never found it to be nearly as interesting as chess.
I guess you're using the old "your opinion doesn't matter, because you haven't tried long enough" argument.
Good old staple of religious and technological evangelists. "You don't like pair programming because you
haven't done it long enough, or correctly, etc."
The nuances of the game far exceed those of chess.
Can you prove that? Combinations don't equal nuances. 19x19 tic-tac-toe has plenty of "nuances," too, I'm sure. And the same holds for 19x19 othello/reversi, checkers, etc.
It's even said that no two Go games have ever been the same - which is saying alot since the game is 3000 years old.
Lots of things are said, fewer of those things are actually true (or worth saying, for that matter!). Once again, sheer number of combinations doesn't equate to interesting. It might be said that no two games of the card game "war" have ever been repeated -- does that mean it is interesting?
How could it be boring?
I think the fact that all pieces are the same is one of the main reasons. I just didn't find it that interesting; the complexity only arises as a result of the magnitude (3^361 combinations).
What I like about chess is that it has been refined and tuned over time -- it seems to strike a nice balance between complexity and elegance.
Real and interesting nuances arise from the fact that there are several different kinds of pieces, with different behaviors, depending on different circumstances.
Because of this it is not necessary to artificially increase the complexity by adding a few hundred more squares.
Presently, when there is a big virus outbreak, Microsoft has egg on its face, while Symantec and McAfee, etc. rejoice at the increased sales that will follow. This is in spite of the fact that MS doesn't have any virus-prevention software at the moment.
I think in this case Microsoft clearly has a much better incentive to offer a more effective product than the others. Once they do start including it, they will take even more blame for outbreaks and will therefore be even more inclined to have the best possible solution.
I have long thought the position of companies like Symantec and McAfee to be somewhat questionable, at the very least in appearance. What is their motivation? Do they really want to see an end to viruses? Is there any independent verification of their techniques?
However, while I think Microsoft will do a better and more honest job than these other companies, I also think that the best possible solution will come from open source. I think this is true of anti-spam software as well. These things need to be done by the community, which is the only entity that has pure motives with regard to truly eliminating these problems. These are also problems the solutions to which benefit greatly by the number of eyeballs (and brains!) that can be applied to open source.
Antitrust? The argument in this case is much weaker than in cases in the past that failed (disk compression, TCP/IP stacks, web browsers and all).
I'm a little unclear on the plan. Suppose we espy a big object is seemingly hurtling toward Earth at, say 60,000 MPH (or a bit under 27 km per second). Assuming no prolonged political battles over what we should do, if anything, we immediately send out a ship (full of Hollywood actors, of course) that accelerates up to that speed (at least). They meet about half way (somewhat less really, since the ship had to get up to speed), but whizz past one another at a relative speed of 120,000 MPH. Whoops! So the ship decelerates, turns around and gives chase (after getting up to an much faster speed needed to overtake), catching up just in time to go crashing into the Earth along with the rock.
Even if it starts turning around and coming back before they meet (probably a better plan), it seems like a lot of time is lost going out and trying to meet the rock. And of course, it couldn't be mechanized; you'd have to send out a large crew on what would probably be a suicide mission. Look what a dicey thing it is just to get a lander working at a location as close as Mars (which is quite close by comparison).
Also, what if the thing wasn't really heading right at Earth (but would've missed by a few thousand miles) and our clever efforts accidentally point it dead-on? Would a subsequent congressional inquiry be called for?

All I can say is I hope you wrote a little script to generate that list instead of typing it all in by hand.
Why is this only a 4? What in the hell is wrong with the moderators?

Don't you mean Compaque? A word ending in "qu" is pretty quirky, too.

Go is only complex by dint of having a large playing board. Really it is a simple (and boring!) game with large dimensions.
Unfortunately science education is not mandatory like english and basic math are...
Hmm. Perhaps your mathematical education was somewhat lacking: 1/50 is 98%.

You may want to proof-read your searches for Freudian slips before hitting ENTER. This may cut down on searches for "Dildo Wave Shapers" and the like.
You can design and write bad code in any language, even functional languages.
And why don't they just use /. for prior art searches?
