...but probably only amongst a handful of creationists.
I myself am a spiritual atheist so I hang out with a lot of religuous people-- people from many different religions. None of them are creationists. Some of the are pretty strict Christians (scares me actually) but they are still not creationists.
Creationism is not a central tenet of Christianity, and hell, even a bishop who was guest speaking warned against robbing the Bible of it's value by taking it literally. To quote Gallileio (a seriously devoted Catholic): "The Bible tells us how to go to the heavens, not how the heavens go."
Frankly, creationism needs to go the way of phlogiston
teach children to be curious and the rest will take care of itself.
And now for a rant.... what's with/.'s anti-Social Science attitude? Frankly it reeks of elitism and the same kind of anti-intellectualism that many people approach science with: it's not cool. After all, Social Science deals with issues that are much more intrinisically meaningful than all the natural sciences do (eg "nature vs nature"). I'm sure that more people have fought and died in that debate than for any math equation in the world. I'm not dismissing Natural Sciences, just please make this kind of shit stop please.
The OS would do all the dirty work of breaking up your application into pieces that can run concurrently for you.
and yet the Itanium is still stuggling. The only sin greater than underestimating the technology of the future is to overestimate it.
It almost seems that Linus is less interested in open-source growing and more interested in Linux being *the* open source OS. Can't say I blame him, but it's not an admirable attitude.
Thanks for saying what many of us have given up trying to point out. If I had mod points...
the amount of training it takes is already harmful. I was going out with a girl who was competing at the nation level trying to make it on the olympic team. She was constantly stressed out and never had time for me or her friends or her family. We broke up due to the lack of together time. She hooked up with a mutual friend of ours.... they broke up for the same reason. Whenever I see anyone from our highschool days I ask have they seen or heard from her? The answer is always no. How is this even remotely healthy? Athletics already requires a commitent that is emotional damaging... why not throw physically damaging onto the list too?
I also have reservations whether putting your body through too much work is healthy. Excercise is healthy sure, and so are professional sports, but olympic athletes (those not involved in the more professional events) destroy themselves routinely trying to get first place, they have no concern over there own safety they just want to win. Let them.
Actually, I find some forms of reality TV do excercise the brain more than pulp. If one watches not only for titilation but also pays attention to group dynamics and other psychological aspects it's a fun but challenging time. Really can teach you a lot about people. Specifically I watch "The Apprentice" with my mother whose is a professor of psychology (though her specialisation is developmental psychology).
it already has come. how much of those book sales were educated or artistically signifant? I bet the majority of them were pulp. In the words of Harvey Danger "The cretins are cloning breeding"... and apparently they are addicted to twitch-style video games.
I mean nothing helps better in learning a language than watching foreign films. Starting with subtitles turned in english (assuming thats the native language) then moving onto playing films with japanese subtitles and then eventually only in japanese. Films are fun-- people love movies, and the provide cultural information directly (by showing actual locations costumes and ceremonies) and indirectly by revealing the film maker's biases and cultural themes (for example in their portrayal of women or sexuality or violence). After all a language is only as good in as far as someone knows how to use. Oh and you need good sound for the students to hear the language properly. And may I recommend Akira Kurosawa's films? Seven Samurai?
People keep saying that ~$15 per month isn't a lot but if you wanted to play several differe MMOGs then you could be easily look at $45-$70 a month and now that's a fair sized chunk. Now what if some MMOGs combined resources or some 3rd company and you could pay $25 a month to play any of the games in the consortium and then they could split your monthly fee across the games by percentage of time you played them for. No need to worry about installing cap or micropayments or complex billing systems.
It would also allow faster uptake on newer MMOGs since it would be less daunting to try the game out since you've already got the plan bought all you need to do is purchase the game.
does NetBeans require the Sun JVM or can it run on any JVM of proper version? can you get it running on a Mac? (Yes I know about XCode). What makes me wonder this is the debugger. I wonder if they used a lot of reflection, just interpret the source or take advatange of sun.* packages. Anyone know?
just create a project and paste your old code in. slowly youll discover the features that make it a killer. here is one type sout and it will spell out "System.out.println(" for you. There are many more and you can create your own. Look for a file called shortcuts.pdf. Oh and really the debugger is bar far the greatest tool in NetBeans. Really, give it a try.
As another student I find most people hate Java (most of them only use what our M$ rep gives them) and I love it because it has a strict world view.
I personally love it when languages enforce things (unlike C for example) because the idiot to misuse a feature will always be in my group.
But then again, how often does one swap out that many songs on and off a DAP?
I have 70 GB of music of my own (~40% legitimate if you care) and considering something like a 40GB iPod is out my range (but the 20GB isn't), and then considering that my mom or sister will want some of their stuff on it if we are travelling... I'd say about once a week on average.
Yeah. JustLinux and OSNews use the [] while/. uses the . I know how to html, xml, xslt, css, et cetera ad nauseum. I just forget which site uses which and I'm not about to use he preview button.
[i]We Americanize things, then pretend they were really all ours in the first place. In a way very much like Japan.[/i]
Flipping through the tele I stumbled on a VH1 "Behind the Music" with the Dixie Chicks and they were showing them touring in Japan... showing them playing with Japanese country stars... man oh man, that was too much!
This article: http://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/12/magazine/12LAWFA RE.html I did not understand. While it seems like neo-con "we must let ourselves be bound by international laws and obligations" I couldn't really make heads or tails out of enough of it to know for sure.
who do you think you are to say what Mr. Tim Bray did-or-did-not say? You probably just made this account right now... If the great **SLASHDOT** says you did than you did!
Heh, I'm just fortunate to have never done anything important enough to have people attribute crap to me. I guess it goes with the territory.
if by sports you mean sponsoring the football team with all the newest gear then i agree. while i was in highschool our football was consistently #2 in the city. The first place team had a yearly budget of $5-10k... we had $500.
My guess is that he used BFS and just brute-forcely tried as many shape combinations that he could (given a reasonable amount of time, because BFS is ass slow)
but isn't BFS highly parellizable? get a small cluster and that should help quite a bit non?
I've always wondered this --I mean it's so obvious that since it's not done it must mean it's flawed-- why doesn't Transmeta release a mobo with it's chip and a blank code for emulating the processor. Hobbyists emerge and write multiple emulator.
You'd boot into something like Grub and choose your processor. That way you could run a UltraSPARC workstation, MIPS, Itanium, or something as small as a PIC. It'd be great for cross-platform development especially for embedded users.
I'm sure processor hobbyists would spring up to fill every niche of emulator. Probably be a great proving ground for design theory.
Considering the low heat output you could have a dual/quad-processor box.
Maybe someone would figure out how to run multiple translators at the same time so you could run x86 and PPC and 68K at damn-near native speeds
I for one don't think Linux is the superior kernel, and I don't want the two to merge. Remember: competition is a good thing (tm)? Lets support diversity not inbreeding and two strong -but separate- open source projects.
That said I'm waiting for tolls to popping-up from their Firefox browsers to say MPL is to restrictive.
That said, where did the idea come from that just because Solaris was going to be open-sourced it needed to be incorporated into Linux?!

expect that to come with the next version of Solaris, either bundled or to be added on seperatley.

with all the obesity i don't think cutting physical education is a bright idea...
that they'll end up like me!
I believe it was James Fennimore Cooper who was all for the American Revolution. Then, when it came, he disappointedly dismissed it as mob-rule.
Before you say it remember who said it first: Ol'DirtyBastard Wu Tang is for the Children!

To me that'd be the ultimate workstation.
