Do americans only hook up in lectures or something cos i like went to bars and clubs and stuff to do that when i was a student. They would let you in even if you werent a CS student as well imagine that.
In fact out of all my mates at uni only one was on the same course as me.
Isnt there a famous quote from John Lennon saying "Ringo's not the best drummer in the world, he's not even the best drummer in The Beatles". Despite what wikipedia tells you he's a really lame drummer.
Philiup K Dicks's vision of Mars colonisation was people exactly like you, who didnt realise that Mars is basically an inhospitable environment and suffered accordingly. Personally I dont care what our government has done recently i still wouldnt trade life here for the doubtless severe restricted mobility, quality of life and life expectancy on a self sufficient habitat.
blah the emporer has his new clothes on again.

Its only about the same size as the back of a transit van. Hardly a house or worth the ridiculous price tag. Caravans etc beat this hands down in every way.
Yeah I agree, I loved TA. The AI mods made things a bit more challenging and me and my friends considered the level 3 units a integral part of the game!
Another mod that I really remember fondly was called something like Zerstorer for Quake I I remember it being much darker than Q1 and it had one awesome level where you just kept going down and down and down. A sense of scale that previously hadnt been done on the rather claustrophobic Q1.
I use the internet to back up all my data that way other people will pay for it to be stored in perpetuity. Sprinkly in enough redundancy and your good to go. By the way:

But the nano is much more portable. Im a gigging musician in my spare time so I use my ipod ALOT and find that 8 gigs is plenty for the amount of time im away from my copmuter and sync is pretty fast so changing up the music isnt a chore.
I don't beleive there is a player on the market that will hold my complete collection and its growing all the time anyway so the syncing isnt really an overhead for me.
Firstly as far as I am aware the age of parenthood has increased, certainly since the middle ages.
Secondly if evolution is indeed slowing down then perhaps it is because we no longer have significant selection pressure. We are at a stage where rather than adapting to our environment we adapt the environment to us.
Thirdly perhaps the selection is just a lot more subtle, its pretty easy to observe if an animal with the "no eyes" gene does better than one without. But what if selection operates on higher order combinations of the genome. Ones that for example control how socially suave someone is. There could well be a combination of genes which is a predictor but it could be monstrously hard to find.
Finally mutations are almost certainly a lot more present in modern society than say 500 years ago. There are now any number of genetic conditions which would have meant an untimely end in the past which will now allow survival and even a relatively ordinary life style.
I don't really know how FOSS has managed to get dragged into this (well actually I do since this is slashdot) but the kind of software they mean often doesnt have a FOSS alternative. No one who has Oracle is going to replace it with mySQL similarly no-one is going to replace their CICS system with something they downloaded off sourceforge.
The obvious reason that sales have dried up is that the banks and financial companies which consume this software (the main customers of enterprise software) are facing bankruptcy and reduced operating capital. However in the wake of this there is going to be a lot of acquisitions and mergers which is going to fuel the need for intergations products so there should be an uptrend at the end of the tunnel.
One of my mates at uni showed me his scheme for counting in binary on his fingers and thereby extending the number of unique combinations rememberable up to 2^20 (he included his toes) he could then do things like bit shifting trivially. Maybe you could do something like that.

Congratulations, you have pushed the octaganal shaped brick through the triangular hole.
you guys regex's are lame. This one will match WAY more than those ones:

Meh who gives a rats ass, GH world TOur has 3 tool songs!!!!! I predict a hold in gigging in my real band right round its release :D

Its impossible to open source a turd because the source is destroyed during compilation.
Actually I would lay money on a caravan being able to more succesfully negotiate uneven terrain than this monstrosity.
Well surely still the followin inequality holds:
tent > caravan > walking box
Those arent points! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_(geometry)
conceptual art is a better pigeon hole yes.
Because no one has ever thought about putting a big box on legs before?
Modern art is only useful for inspiring gushing in morons.

Where can I get this new FireFire browser...it sounds fast?

You cant do that because FF != F^2 since the first F is for Fire and the second is for Fox. Unless you have a lemma that shows Fire=Fox.
Where I work they have done that to some products in order to align them with a family of related products which does make some sense.
I tried but I couldnt work out how to set a break point. Also my stack traces are unreliable and the contents of memory seem to be volatile.

I dont know. Every phone i have had for about the last 5 years has done mp3 playing but i still have and use an ipod daily.
I have a few musings on this area:
Firstly as far as I am aware the age of parenthood has increased, certainly since the middle ages.
Secondly if evolution is indeed slowing down then perhaps it is because we no longer have significant selection pressure. We are at a stage where rather than adapting to our environment we adapt the environment to us.
