Eh, granted, that's a couple more than the situation I experience. If you approach more than a few items/letter of the alphabet, then it gets far more tiresome. Plus, naturally, clicking through all those folders takes a while (although direct URI entering is faster) Still, 14Gb.. Yow.
So once again we regress to bombing the hell out of anyone who disagrees with us. Because that's going to work. These people are angry with the US because of bad foreign policy. Attempting to obliterate them will simply create more.
By changing foreign policy we are not "appeasing" the terrorists - it's simply what is right. They have a real reason to be angry with the US, the UK and most of the west, and it is a reason that we should fix anyway. It should not require terror to set it right.
If foreign policy isn't fixed, you can expect to see terrorists in one form or another indefinitely, but like I said, the changes in foreign policy are necessary with or without.
Well, I rather failed to point out that I didn't see better search as useless, just that it's being touted as the next big thing, and for a lot of people, it probably isn't. If it is, then what can I say? People are too lazy:)
As far as I'm concerned, as long as there's a system, it's a good one. In your example... I dunno, I don't really store videos on my system. However, any kind of system lets you find stuff. Even if it's inconsistent it's manageable.
However, they were fundamentally Windows NT with some new bits and bobs bolted on. This is why they bore little resemblance to 95/8, not because they were in any way revolutionary.
I'm amused by "that search thingie." Everywhere seems to be going on about desktop search and integrated search and semantic search, when I have had approximately 3 times in my entire computing life been in want of such a feature.
Is it only me that values a sensible directory structure, with descriptive filenames and so on? Because the only time I need to use the find command is if I have a specific file whose location I don't know, or perhaps need to find files newer than x in folder y.
I envisage these searching revolutions as passing completely over my head in terms of increased usability. If I know where something is, then surely it is quicker to go there directly than to ask something where it is, no matter how efficient its algorithm.
It's very easy to be a morally consistent vegeterian, thank you. I'm not a veggie, but I know plenty of people who are.
Item number one: "I don't like meat." nothing ethical at all, so no argument at all.
Number two: Health. Again, nothing ethical, although whether or not it's easier to be healthier as a veggie is disputable, and I'd argue that this is actually a bad point, since it's obviously possible to be healthy without meat. Still, no inconsistency.
Number three: Farming methods. This isn't about "peace to all animals" and "a cat is a rat is a boy is a dog" or whatever that idiot woman said. It's about waste, about immoral practises such as battery farming et al, and about it being easily possible to farm meat more efficiently.
Please don't blanket statement vegetarians. While I've met a lot who are downright idiots, there are a good proportion who do it for the right reasons.
On its own, this is not enough to spark off global terrorism, otherwise we'd see far more diverse attacks. The only solution is a radical change in foreign policy, away from the money-grubbing and the selfish.
Note that Muslims are not the only terrorists, and this will likely prevent terror from other groups.
It matters because it is essentially discrimination against a group of people. It is akin to taking a minority religion and saying, "you are not allowed to fill in your tax form in [x] way." If, indeed, this were against some religion, then there would likely be public outcry.
You are right that it is not significant in that it is still possible to fill out on paper, but everyone should have an equal opportunity, surely.
It depends a) how good the cells are and b) how much power you require from them. If you didn't notice, everywhere does not go pitch when the sun is in!
More important is why the hell anyone would go camping with internet access; even I am not enough of a wuss/geek to spoil it that way.
There is a perfectly logical reason to abstain before marriage, in order to preserve sex as something special. Whether or not you buy into that point of view is entirely a matter of opinion, but at least for some people, sex before marriage can really screw things up (NPI) especially if they end up marrying someone else.
"And P.S. Ubuntu rocks hard. If you haven't given it a shot, you really owe it to yourself to check it out.I"
Quick rave: I'm basically never going back to Fedora. Ubuntu is twice as fast - in bootup and in application opening. I'm not sure how, as it should just be a case of background processes and whatnot, but it's EXTREMELY noticeable. The one caveat is a lack of updates, a slightly unstable backporting option, or highly unstable breezy option.
Except for the fact that windows explorer, firefox, nautilus and konqueror handle FTP. Especially when using pure file-browsers, you have the advantage of familiar icons, functions, shortcuts etc, that you would use every day when handling files.
If you leave your front door open and someone walks in, they are still trespassing. If you leave it open and they walk in and steal your TV, then it's still stealing.
The only mitigation is that you could argue that in this case, it was analagous to leaving your front door open, with a sign at the bottom of the path saying, "Party, all Welcome." This implies "access" alone is permitted. If it said "Free drinks," then back with Wi-Fi, you'd be allowed to "steal" the signal or whatever.
The problem for me at least is that for most downloads the problem is not the cap on the server, but the limit at my end. Downloads usually max out my own bandwidth (230 KB/s) and topping this speed is simply not possible.
Actually, with all the tossing around of claims that switching to a different (potentially easier-to-use) OS is so confusing, I'm surprised they're being so hypercritical.
Just as clarification: Not only do you lose heat quicker to the water, but the water than transfers it away more quickly.
This means, that for a given temperature of air, and the same of water, the area directly around you will be closer to the temperature of the original substance in water than in air.
Before hurling around "back up your opinion" you may consider doing the same yourself. You've presented no evidence that physical punishment harms children when properly applied. I present myself as evidence of a perfectly happy individual, without authority problems and with self-esteem but (I hope) without an overinflated ego, who was smacked when small.
Obviously overuse or inconsistent use of physical punishment will be adverse, just as with any other.
The underground maze could be completed by listening to the sounds. When you reached another intersection, the spaceship would make a noise, something like "ping" for north, "fizz" for west and so on. North-West was "ping-fizz" and usually there was a way to go on the 4 compass points, and a way to go on the four composed of two others. You could work out pretty easily that the ping meant go the simple way, and the ping-fizz meant to go "diagonally" so you just right down what corresponds to what, and you're off.
Go look at a climate map of the world and found out where the Sahara is. Then go look at where Ethiopia is. A few miles to the east, I believe.
Besides that, some Saharan countries are having famines while others aren't. It's more to do with economics and chance weather than geographical location.
Well, I haven't seen Myst IV but III wasn't as bad as you make out. The puzzles required serious thinking power, whereas some of the puzzles in Myst I (think Channelwood Island: finding that little switch to open the gate. Even with the map it was a bitch) were pretty dumb.
Many don't like the lack of action, though, so I expect market forces drive the lack of games in this sector. OTOH, I still wish the devs would come up with more than ye olde MMO/shooters.
Just remember the experiments with identical twins. Mentality is not all created through the environment. One study found that two identical twins, one of which was pampered, the other of which was brought up on a farm, both wet the bed in their adulthood.
Obviously sweeping conclusions cannot be made from such a study, but I'd be hesitant to sweepingly blame the parents for most of the problem with children.
I call BS.
I was smacked as a kid, and have no resentments or mental problems. I'm well above average at school, am in the top sets for all subjects, have a girlfriend and am quite happy with my life.
The problem only comes when physical force is misapplied. When doled it consistently and with appropriate explanation, and with the use of other punishments, it is absolutely fine.
Sometimes, kids don't respond to a firm "NO" (my sister wouldn't), threats or other punishments (she was quite happy with sitting at the bottom of the stairs) and thus an association of physical pain with an undesirable action will be more likely to cure the problem.

Funnily enough, not on a QWERTY keyboard. This is why we also have QWERTZ keyboards, and, funnily enough AZERTY keyboards...

Oh, wait, no I'm not.
Hmm... How high a pressure? Would it be high enough to actually injure someone in it?
Interesting thought..

While I don't use BeOS, I challenge you to infect a BeOS computer.
Or many of the other secure operating systems.
