"It's a bit of a two-edged sword," said Nie. "You can't get a hug or a kiss or a smile over the Internet." Many people are still more inclined to use the telephone for contact with family, he said.
I didn't know you could get a hug or a kiss or a smile over the phone. Time to start dialing those 900 numbers.
It's not about caring. It's about the fact that they are recognizing it as big enough force to start swatting away the arguments in their own way.
What is that quote from Mahatma Gandhi that I keep reading on/. pretty often. It goes something like 'First they ignore you. Then they make fun of you. Then they fight you. Then you win'.
How many people remember Michael Jordan's comeback announced on 9/11?
I am happy that nobody is giving a crap about patents right now with the kind of destruction that happened. It would have been sad if patents were given more importance admist all that is happening right now.
How long until Religious Nuts start claiming to see hidden messages encoded in our DNA telling us to love Jesus?
Each DNA strand is a number. Like the Hebrew A, Alef is 1. B, Bet is 2. You understand? But look at this. The strands are inter-related. Like take the Hebrew word for father, 'Ab' - Alef Bet... 1, 2 equals 3. Alright? Hebrew word for mother, 'em' - Alef Mem... 1, 40 equals 41. Sum of 3 and 41... 44. Alright? Now, Hebrew word for child, alright, mother... father... child, 'Yeled' - that's 10, 30, and 4... 44
Everybody has a list of friends/buddy(s) that they meet every few months. The pre-condition is that alcohol is involved. These are not your drinking buds but the people who you meet very occassionally, and never ever meet in a setting where alcohol is not involved. It is impossible that you can tolerate these buds in real life without the booze shield. They say the same about you but in a happy setting in a happy hour at a happy bar, its all about being happy. They have fun and you have fun and you share fart jokes and high five each other and then never see each other in good light until the next drink meet.
NYT falls in that category and FF/OSS are the booze shield for us/.ers.

I agree. However I have one question. Why did you take the tinfoil hat off?

If you can wrap your head around that
Not enough space to wrap it though.
People who check their email immediately whenever they reveive a "new mail" notification
When you get only maybe two emails a day, you will understand.

We believe the way to integrate software, and the way to get software to work in a heterogeneous environment, is through promoting open standards
Does Microsoft Office ring any bell Mr. Bill Hilf?!
Put your actions where your mouth is and open up
Windows is open source. Its unbelievable but true
Too late. Damn.
it will have a different configuration but will still be a box containing a red pen and a blue pen
Are you moving away from the box too fast or are you moving towards the box too fast?
ertain special states of a system are promoted above others by a quantum form of natural selection, which they call quantum darwinism
I don't agree with that.
Please mod parent up. Please.
