And I am convinced that the best account for this is a single, personal God.
There is a slight problem with this. According to the laws of physics as we know it, nothing that happened before the big bang has any effect on the world today. So by your definition of god, god does not interfere with day to day activities of the world. Which possibly also means that you need not worship him.
I'm sure none of the ID guys would like that either.
I will second that. I'm in India, and we have less teledensity than the US. But whatever it is, Cellphones work in homes, apartments and with some providers (and depending on your location) in elevators. I have never gotten it to work in basement parking areas, but that I can understand.
I don't have a landline and manage with just fine with my cellphone, as do most of my friends.
The MS blog points to the yahoo webpage and yahoo bio of the guy
If Yahoo wanted to have fun, this is an excellent opportunity for them to replace those pages with something else. For example "Mr.So and So was born in 1980. After a mediocre education he joined Yahoo where he plays for the Crocquet and bridge teams."
I doube hiring the project manager without a technical team will bring any changes to MSN.
Quite different from google where each of the employee is handpicked
Would it be illegal in your country if you bought the started edition and hacked it to make it a full version?
I know that in India that would not be illegal, someone just has to figure out a way of doing that without copying a full kernel from somewhere else
There is nothing in any of the GNU licenses or the OSI opproved licenses that says 'you must supply this to the general public for it to be an opensource project',
That's true, it's perfectly possible to violate the spirit of open source while complying with the letter of any license. That's not "open source", that's "gaming the system".
No it does not mean that.
RMS originally is supposed to have set up GNU because he could not get the sources for the OSes which he got along with the comps he bought. He never had a problem with anybody making money off it, as long as the buyer got the source.
That is the whole idea of "Free as in freedom, not as in Beer".
I know that opensource is slightly different from free software, but the idea in general is same
Google as of yet refuses to answer agnosists and atheists. So "Is there a god" brings up no answer.
But on the other hand, "Who is god" brings up "God: is one of many terms used to describe a perfect, supreme being, generally believed to be the ruler..."
Faith apparently is a pre-requisite for realization of the supreme!!
I don't know about others, but for me the fact that FF is opensource counts
My company has a policy which says that non-standard programs are not allowed. Freeware,shareware and adware (or commercial software) requires approval from some manager. The only exception is when you use a GPLed software and when you take responsibility for using it.
Before the policy came out, I had Opera. I still use opera at home and I think its the best browser around. But no at Office, only firefox.Its nearly as good (and in a few areas better) than Opera and it is Opensource.
Or, show the finger to microsoft and get Linux and Openoffice in all government applications.
50-60K licenses for office apps should compensate for 800 jobs...
I would think that it will also be possible to legally ban msft from their country...
A nice representation of all sections of people. Russian,Chinese and Indian names are common. Too bad too few women in it (maybe 1:50). Maybe Firefox is not a chick magnet after all...
Because like it or not, it's still the most efficient/economic method of powering vehicles in a country where average travel distances are large. I-C engines also have extreme longevity when compared to many other methods. I've owned three vehicles that passed 75K miles, and one with over 100K miles, all maintained in good condition and running strong. Electrics just aren't economical to maintain for that kind of usage.
try explaining that electric engines don't last long to a train engine driver. Smaller electrical engines last long enough in home uses (water pumps last for years- only problem is the coil burning out in case of high voltages) , so I can't see why it will not last long enough in cars.
Also if longevity was an issue, Diesel should have been much more popular than gasoline in US
Thats really an unfair comparison. Blockbuster movies and English language games are western world specific. Japanese do get their comics and Japanese edition games much before the US.

Dude you are seriously underestimating how big US economy is. If US economy collapses it will always take the world down with it.
And Dollar will never melt down as long as Oil is traded only in Dollars.
Dollar devalues ->Countries need more dollars to buy same amt of oil -> Countries buy dollars from US -> Dollar corrects itself. On top of that most countries have large stock-piles of dollars and would not want to see it devalued.
Yo uhave got it backwards. UC ownded 50.9% , Indian govt. 26% and the rest by private holders.
In the Socialist era, a foreign company was not allowed to have fully owned units in India, which is why 26% is with the Indian govt.

I can agree when you say that Indian govt also is to blame (not only for this, but for their ineptitude in distributing the compensation). But what I cannot understand is the Union Carbide claim that they are not responsible since UCIL was a seperate Indian entity. If they made money from Indian operations, should they not also take responsibility?
It is incorrect to say that Bhopal has no vegetation growing there abd that nobody lives there. A lot of people were killed and a lot of damage was done, but people moved back in. This is India after all.
The real problem is the after effects of the poison with children being born malformed and the remnants of the factory leaking mercury. Dominic Lapierre, a few days ago released an article in the press about this.
And here is a wikipedia article article
Ramanujan was the first to ask that question (to his students in his private classes)
Ramanujan : Self-taught indian mathematician who used to believe that a goddess used to teach him maths in the sleep. Apparently rediscovered the binomial expansion of e while a teenager.
Better is a very subjective term in this case
Intel is betting that PCIe will save them. PCIe is fast enough for Video cards so they can essentially eliminate the legacy type northbridge and allowing them more freedom. Another thing that they have going for them is the fact that they can add-on memory failover (something like RAID for RAM) more easily since their memory controller is seperate from the processor. Intel seems to be aiming straight at the server market
On the desktop, AMD should still do well. And as soon as good motherboards are avbl. (not saying that they are not avbl, just a few months behind intel) for AMD they will move into the server market too.
Dells comment abt AMD was interesting. They are considering AMD for servers, but not for Desktop. Apparently because if Dell buys AMD desktops, AMD will never be able to supply them fast enough!!
Entire planet moves a fraction of an inch further away from the sun as millions of/.ers' hands shoot up
No, no, the Americans on the sun-side of earth would be cancelled out by the Chinese on the other side of the planet. The net effect would be to slow down the rotation of the planet and cause a slightly longer day.

It's not about storage, It's always been about network.
As long as network speeds are slow, mp3s and rars will be around.
