Not only that, but I've been told on several occasions that the Queen is actually tone deaf and doesn't enjoy music. Anyone know if this is actually true? Several people told me during the jubilee, which must have been hell for her if this is the case.
I currently go to Cambridge Uni, Trinity college. The entire population here, practically, is student. In central Cambridge there are virtually no houses, and yet a massive collegiate university. Putting these here during the end of the exam season, when we're all incredibly drunk is NOT the best time or place to put expensive bins around.
When a site's getting that many hits, and things don't need to be dynamic (as most often with news), SSI makes a lot more sense than running PHP, which is fat more bloated when all you're going to use is include();
But that really depends on where they are. For example routers will have an incredible workload, and are (nearly) all Unix-based. If you look at all the computers in the world, the % of them that are windows will be MUCH higher than the % workload done by windows. We're talking about average web servers here.
I think you're being a tad harsh here. There are hundreds of deadly diseases, and we've made progress in pretty much all of them. The main reason we get cancer really is because we've cured all the infectious diseases we would otherwise get.
Plus, you argument makes no sense: The cancer cells are your cells, if they did mutate somehow, it wouldn't make any effect on anyone else Cancer cells are just human cells anyway, and you have a certain amount of cancer susceptable oncogenes, and cancer-preventing oncosuppressors. These are what mutate, randomly. The cells can't change in any other way really, this is all they have to work with. By definition if they're already mutating randomly, then they've already exerted every possibility.
You've just expressed the principles of water cooling - Strap a 120mm fan to a car heatercore, and couple the cooled fluid to the CPU with a water block. +4 insightful? -1 redundant.
the spin of a HDD is louder than the power supply fans and will negate any noise coming from it unless loaded heavily. Another nice feature is that the 80mm fan keeps spinning after you shut down the system for a few minutes
Are enough to negate any priase from the reviewer in my eyes. What's he saying, it's quieter than an HDD!?! I should bloody well hope so, those things are beasts. And they only make a noise when they're being very actively used, while PSU will whirr away in the background.
The fact the guy says he loves quiet, then goes on to say that this PSU actually KEEPS making noise when it goes off, is an infuriating spin on the matter.
A PSU only draws the power it needs anyway. You'd get no bigger power spikes with a 580W than a 300W. It just means you have more power to play with if say....you installed 7 water pumps for your water cooling system.
For all those Brits, Erector is the American (and more boringly/dirtily named) version of Meccano, an very cool nuts-and-bolts version of K'nex, which could make some very cool products.
My Uncle passed me down an actual steam engine, with a mounted boiler with working pistons and all, which could drive the action of a Meccano toy. The smell of meths still reminds me of that.
The guy moans about how women don't like games because of the massive breasts? I'd say in only a FRACTION of the games are women drawn with massive breasts. Hell, Nintendo games are hardly like porn.
Jesus, there are a LOT more muscle bound men in games than there are women with MASSIVE out of proportioned breasts, and I feel the former is also much rarer in life?
Do mean feel objectified, or inferior? God no, they just get on with it.

It probably means it's not decided yet. If they go and say 'we might make one, we might not, depends how we feel', they will be swamped with emails. If they call it a rumour then it keeps up interest, and people assume it's a done deal and shutup, and they can decide later.
The thing is these stupid ideas sometimes pay off. A young biologist named Robin Warren, found bacteria in the gut called Helicobacter Pylori, which was much more prevelent in those with peptic ulcers than those without.
Nobody believed him, they didn't believe that bacteria could survive in the stomach, and neither would he had he known better.
Still, now they think H. Pylori are the leading cause of gastric ulcers in the states/UK, with antibiotics being a prime medication.
I'd rather just ask the store/bar man what the song is - it'd be quicker and cheaper, and I'm sure they'd be happy to help, well in a music store at least.
Yes, but if TV programmes were streamed you could have one site doing all the TV shows, you wouldn't get the problems of having to use many different channels due to air-time constraints.
Programmes, because there are less numbers of them than musical artists, could make a contract with a net-based TV programme provider, and would probably the one with the most downloaders if they get paid per download.
THAT'S why the TV companies are scared, you wont need as many of them if we end with the technology.
I know it's slightly unrelated but I fear it's going to spread from just music to software before too long.
Look at Valve's Half-Life 2. I got my 'free copy' with my old graphics card, yet I possess no disc. I have to spend several hours downloading my software before I can play it.
The system has had its problems, and I'd be up shit creek without a paddle if I was a modemer, but it's an attractive model to stop piracy.
I can see it being more attractive though for companies with smaller programs; the bandwidth Valve uses must be immense.
It just makes me feel uneasy not owning a hard copy of a game I legally posess.

Yes but is strike 3 actually a fault of MS, or netscape?
I'd rather just ask the store/bar man what the song is - it'd be quicker and cheaper, and I'm sure they'd be happy to help, well in a music store at least.
By the time I've realised the DJ isn't going to name the song, it's finished and it's too late.
I'm not going to phone up this company with every song I like just in case the DJ is incompetent.
Maybe they're planning on some people doing that....
If you don't know if it's a dupe, then surely it doesn't matter?
Yes, but if TV programmes were streamed you could have one site doing all the TV shows, you wouldn't get the problems of having to use many different channels due to air-time constraints.

They attack their rims with magnets? Do MS have magnetic shit or something? I'll use toilet paper thanks.
In space, no one can hear you boom.
I can use my RAID-5 array of 200GB HDDs for storing illegal content as well....
Thank FUCK I don't live in the Netherlands then
It's the teachers' holidays as well, naybe they're responsible?
