Actually, that would be easy, just put the entire battery lenght wise on your tongue.
My question would be, would the hell kind of tongue do you have that it can detect the sensation of 1.5V. (It takes me at least a 9V before I can feel anything at all!)
"you just have a cheap dictionary"
Please show me your "expensive" dictionary... Personally, I consulted 4, 2 Amercian 1 Canadian and 1 British, just to be sure.. "Homophagic" isn't the word he used. Sgt. York described it much better then you did, AC.
"heterophagic : More common usage is "heterotroph" or "heteroptrophic"..I probably should have used that term. It's from the Greek roots, it means "to eat others". They are biological terms, not likely to be in your abridged Webster's. Sorry, I should have defined it in the original post. "
Cool!
"It means that the organism's caloric food source is the consumption of other organisms. The "we are not a Kingdom unto ourselves" is a reference to the fact that we are members of the animal Kingdom."
I know.. I agreed with you!:D
"And what plant (slime mold is not a plant!) "is capable of controlled, self-sustained motion at some point in its life cycle"?"

How about:
Venus' flytraps, Pitcher plants, Sundews and butterworts?:D So I ask you again, what exact defines an "Animal"?
Here's a secret: Just make excuses to yourself. For example, I smoke, so I can honestly say, there is no way in hell I'll beat a non-smoker on a treadmill irregardless of their gender..
You can really make an excuse for anything if you try really...
oooookay.. I had to get the dictionary out.. And I found out that "heterophagic" isn't a word? What's up with that??
Aside from that word that doesn't meet anything, there are plant's that meet your criteria.. So again, what's up with that? Where did you get that definition??
"We are not a Kingdom unto ourselves."
At least this I can agree with. (I think!)
Try looking just about anywhere else..:D
Seriously, the original poster was dead on accurate.. But my question, so we can all debate what makes a being "self-aware" yadda-yadda, what makes society "civil", yadda-yadda. But here's my question, what makes an "animal" an "animal"??
Although bootable floopies may not qualify, what about when your installing DOS 6.55 from disk. Eventually you get "PLEASE INSERT DISK #2" message, when you put the disk in, it's autodetected and runs automatically (you don't have to click "OK".).
Let's go back to the 1960's if you want to talk prior art. Mainframes would autodetect a new DASD array that was inserted.. s/360 supported this feature..
Going back even further, I'm sure there are some really really (1800's?) old record players that would autodetect..
Come to think of it, what about all those acient jewlery boxes that would "automatically" play music when you opened them to take out or insert new jewlery?
I just tried out Netscape 7.1, and I must say, I was really impressed. Having used many web browsers (and even programming my own), Netscape 7 is by far the best. Built in pop-up blocking, way better cookie handling (and cookie management), faster download times, a better download manager, are just a few of the benefits that I've already noticed, and I've only been using it for a short time..
"Type "ping 66.35.250.151" (slashdot, as of an nslookup just a few seconds ago). Do you get a response?

Your actually more accurate then even YOU know. Out of all the OS's I've dealt with, PING is one of the few command's that works on all of them.. (I know, I know, your all going to start ranting it's because of TCP/IP standard.. But that's not entirely true, for example, ROUTE, IPCONFIG, BIND, WHOIS, etc.. TCP commands are NOT supported on every OS, the only command that appears generic is PING...

Actually it was used by many people including Buddists, but it is now widely believed that it was a Jewish symbol, that was taken from a twist on an acient Sun God.
http://www.manwoman.net/swastika/swastika.html
"There are even Jewish swastikas found in ancient synagogues side-by-side with the star of David!"
Actually it was not meant to be racist at all. The swastika was stolen by the Nazi's. In reality, the swastika was actually a JEWISH symbol, and is hundreds (thousands?) of years older then the Nazi party.
That is correct, during the compile, the memory markers (addresses) are created. These are of course, virtual addresses, like you said, all process have their own address space. In terms of real storage (what's actually in the RAM), that would be different every time the application is run, but it makes no difference as the DAT handles the instructions (I think it's a DAT in windows anyways..)

Etymology: Pearl Harbor, Oahu, Hawaii, American naval station attacked without warning by the Japanese on December 7, 1941

"I'm gonna Pearl Harbor your ass" , is actually a correct English sentence.. Crazy man..
So what exactly did you buy instead of s/390, a Unix box from HP? Most people who look into a s/390 have some idea what they are getting into you know (like having to hire an additional 5-20 extra staff members just to run the thing.). And your "house-cleaning" meant buying a 6000? Wow! To replace a bunch of Windows boxes, right??
