hm. how about clicking on the link and doing some third grade math before you post?
how about doing that before you mod someone up to a 5?
using netscape, I usually use the keyboard shortcuts to navigate like alt-left or alt-right to move around in the history. To get out of trap sites, you can usually just hit alt-left a bunch of times in a row quickly to get back before the trap page is able to refresh on you. You just have to be careful not to overshoot your goal.
wow. what an amazing honda you must have here. c/(4GHz) =.0749 m. A seven centimeter long car. Simply astounding. c/(20GHz) =.0149 m. 1 cm rain drops. Must be a bitch for those 7 cm hondas.
Also, I highly doubt that actual physical size of obstruction plays any role in the attenuation of signals. Rather, the type of material determines this, I would imagine. A thin wall of lead stops more waves better than a thick wall of jello.
you must have very interesting computers. ones that run "family" as well as unix.
also you must have a very low view of your fellow humans, insofar that you believe that anyone could have life goals that include only violent, sexual and illegal entertainment.
Am I making an entirely too drunken left-coast berkeleyite assumption when I say that we as a species are overly-emphasizing this classification idea? I mean, no matter what label you stick on an individual, no groups of people are going to be exactly alike. No group is going to fit into our nice little mental spaces of classification. We're different. get with it. we don't even have a good definition of "geek" yet, how can we even begin to assume that we know what all members of this ambiguous set entail?
One day, perhaps, we will get off our collective butts, and use the remaining ninety percent of our brains and quit demanding that every person in our society must fit into a nice little box. One day, maybe, we'll be able to think, not "that person is a communist", but rather, that person holds a certain set of beliefs. not "that person is a christian", but rather, that person holds the belief in a monotheistic personal god, and all the rest of the stuff.
No christians, no communists, no democrats, no gen-Xers, no right-wing neo-nazis, no suits and no geeks are alike, and it's high-time we quit bullshitting with these catagorizations.
and it's time we started ignoring the narrow-minded majority who insists on keeping these stereotypes alive.

if by "sued", you mean get government bailout, then I'd rather pay for the podunk towns.
thought maybe a sequel to this great book.

how many americans know the capital of canada?
by americans, I mean `from the united states'. (we don't have many other options, you realize. `united statesian'? `USers'?)
you are a sexist even if it is proper english.

I believe that in this case, shift-alt-left and shift-alt-right work, but I might be wrong.

fyi, and not to start a flame war, but syntax coloring and paren matching are standard in vim, with 1/8 the memory overhead.
Never mind.
I misread the article. You meant that you guys didn't vote for Lincoln.
sorry.
Hey, umm...,
Abraham Lincoln was a Republican.
