Nope, the credit actually goes to the USA, again. The Russians succeeded because they had bigger rockets, which could heave their larger nuclear weapons. The USA had smaller rockets because our nuclear weapons were more refined, and therefore physically smaller.
But why did the USSR need the rockets and the nukes in the first place. That's right, because of the USA, and that's why we deserve all the credit for Sputnik.
Awesome, professionals have some wonderful open source software to use. My problem is that I'm not a professional 3D artist, and when I need to use it, I also need to re-learn everything. The last time I used blender was over a year ago, and the next time I might need it might be tomorrow or next year. I will have to learn everything again.
Such a shame that amateurs who might use a 3D package once in a while don't have anything free to use, because of that darned UI.
That's the point of SPF. It detects when the header is fabricated, and the virus detector bounce messages can just be dumped.
Most of the million spams a month I see are from Norton or some other idiot company telling me that the message I sent to them contained a virus. No, if they'd just had the data (but they already do! I use SPF) they could see that my server has one valid mailing IP address, and it's not on a Korean DSL line.
I was having a discussion with a liberal friend of mine last night about taxes. He's a moron, but he's really funny so that's why I can stand him.
Anyway, he comes up with this: paying taxes are like paying dues. If somebody didn't want to pay their dues for the country club, then the other members of the country club would be right to want him kicked out, and to call him a leech for wanting to be in the country club without paying his dues. I was stunned at the idiocy of the statement.
We were drinking and joking around, and that comment was so stupid that I just said that if the USA were really a country club and we're all paying dues, then what are all the women and Negroes still doing here? OK, it was a joke, but I think he got my point. Taxes are just plain stealing through the threat of force.
If people would only take a couple minutes to think about it, the explanation would be obvious. After all, there was no electricity distribution before the Internet existed.
Also, the part you quoted wasn't the point I was making, it was the illustration of the point. Newton, as you point out, came up with some laws. His second law of motion can be written as a formula, and plugged into a computer. Perhaps you've heard of it, F=ma
F=ma is a law because it relates a domain and a range in a mathematical formula which describes physical behavior of objects.
I'm curious, what did your professor tell you about the definition of a law? It sounds like they weren't very good at teaching.
Your mistake is thinking that laws of physics are made by lawyers. A law is a mathematical relationship between two physical measurements or observations. It's a formula.
Basically if you can plug it into a BASIC program on a Commodork 64 to calculate some physics thingy, then it's a law.
Something you don't seem to be considering is that this guy who you believed to be a hot Eclipse guy might not have actually been so hot after all. Eclipse shouldn't have forced you to change anything, and if you did, oops.
1) Don't come to work fashionably dressed. It's not a fashion show. The distraction is not appreciated, and if you insist on treating yourself like a Christmas tree ornament, then everyone else will too.
2) Quit complaining about a lack of respect. Respect isn't given to people who whine about a lack of respect. Respect is given to the person who walks onto a team as a manager and fires one member randomly. I guarantee you everyone will say "YES MA'AM" faster than you can muster up a decent sneer.
3) Agressive == bitch. Yes, and if anyone calls you a bitch or treats you like a bitch, prove them right. Fire them. People will treat you exactly how you let them treat you.
4) They stole my work! Waaah! No, you gave it to them. And telling everybody on Slashdot doesn't do any good. Did you go to your boss and complain? Did he listen? How about his boss? And so on? You might have to get fired because of it, but you can cause so much pain that people will think twice about stealing your work again.
5) "Yeah so the other day I was talking to a female in marketing at my company asking her what it's like there cause it's really not cool in IT." OK, I've got it now. You're not doing what you love, you're doing what's comfortable and cool. Go ahead and drift around until you find someone to support you. If you're not willing to just jump to a completely different profession because IT is socially rough, then you are not cut out for a spectacular career at all. Get serious, or get the hell out. Once you're done being all offended by this last bit of advice, you'll realize that it's better and more honest advice than you've ever received. Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life.
I disagree about hiring NASA engineers. There's no such thing as an engineer that builds just expensive stuff. Engineers build stuff that meets the requirements.
Just make the price a higher priority than safety or other factors.
That's not really an answer, because it's just stating the opposite of what I said, except you're not backing up what you said, and you're not rebutting what I said.
So, I answer you with this: why are the reasons I gave unpersuasive to you?
Where do you draw the line? Murderous thoughts are murder?
I think that yes, that's true to some extent, in some sense. It's obviously true with other thoughts such as pedophilia, and people clearly want those who desire children to be separated from them and tracked closely. That's just another way of saying that they want to make pedophilia illegal. That means policing and locking them up. I don't know if I'm enough of a legal expert to tell you where the line is exactly, but to conclude that there is no line, or that the line cannot be drawn just because I don't know enough about it is not logically sound.
As I see it, people are just getting primed to thinking about other crimes in the same way, but it's more difficult because of the detection problem. What I'm saying is that detecting objectionable pedophiles is EASY because any pedophile is objectionable. There's no tolerance there. Terrorism is close, where it's pretty much always objectionable to think about blowing yourself up at the mall, and people would not hesitate to lock up anybody who thinks about blowing themselves up at the mall. But for armed robbery there's a distinction. Is someone thinking about robbing a bank because they intend to do actually do it?
Basically, everybody's convinced that when you think about little girls you are 100% certain to rape a little girl. But when someone is thinking about stealing a car, it's probably not going to actually happen because the dangerous compulsion to carry it out isn't there most of the time.
I guess I'm just pointing out that looking at things in a certain way, we already do some thought crime policing, and people generally support that kind of thing.
The reason you're getting the slow speeds under Linux is because you're not compiling your kernel properly. The OHCI and UHCI USB drivers are for the slow chips, and the slow speeds of the USB 2.0 chips. If you want the 480MBPS speed, then you need to compile the EHCI USB driver.
Engineers: you can interleave the wires from one side with wires from the other side. Signals go on one side, and ground goes on the other. You can send data at higher rates down the now ground wire spaced wires, and justify your extra cost for the additional wires.
Sometimes it takes an engineer to think like a businessman.
Slashdot Mirror
See? That was funny. It's not fair!
If I'd changed the name on the quote to Bill Clinton but left the words of the quote alone, it would have been moderated funny.
Conservatives who say snarky things get rated troll. Liberals who say snarky things get rated funny.

What was the definition of a law they gave to you then? I'd like to know.
Stop being snarky and be helpful instead.
If people would only take a couple minutes to think about it, the explanation would be obvious. After all, there was no electricity distribution before the Internet existed.
I'm not sure what you mean. Please clarify.
Either one.

But I see some problems with the hydrazine theory
The main problem with my theory is that the current report is that arsenic-laden groundwater vaporized and made people sick.
Something you don't seem to be considering is that this guy who you believed to be a hot Eclipse guy might not have actually been so hot after all. Eclipse shouldn't have forced you to change anything, and if you did, oops.
You know, some people actually work with their tools and couldn't care less if they were "three years ago" or not.
Eclipse. C++. CVS.

39 years ago, I didn't exist. currently there is one example of me existing. Therefore, 39 years from now there will be two of me!

I have a friend who is a criminal. He offered me a million dollars last year to help him with his fraud. I turned him down.
Thus, my criminal friend's fraud is costing me a million dollars. See the problem?
My vote is hydrazine. If you can smell that stuff, it'll make you sick. Sick from toxic effects of the chemical, not just sick to your stomach.
http://www.epa.gov/ttnatw01/hlthef/hydrazin.html describes the effects, which seem similar to what these South Americans are experiencing.
