Well, as a Christian, I agree. The Bible teaches us to wonder about things; why not the origins of the universe? It's not the most important thing in a Christna's diet, but I don't see why it can't be looked into.
"The Netherlands is densely populated enough that it's cost effective to do them right. Given the geography and political culture in the US, it would be a political necessity to - in future hindsight - fuck it up."
In all probability, if the US were to go for flood gates, they would ask the Dutch to come help make them (as they asked the Dutch to come help in New Orleans now). Considering the flood protection system in the Netherlands cost several trillion dollars (including planned works), flood protection costs of the US would be enormous. For the US, it would probably be cheaper to flood protect individual cities and to move people from low areas to higher up.
"I'm assuming the fill the entire cd thing is a DRM trick??"
Not at all, there was no software DRM on the PS1. The concept was barely invented at the time, and no-one had cd burners. The reason the entire CD is filled is because as the space is there, developers might as well use it. Usually with videos and music.

Listen to the sound of my voice. Inhale deeply, put your arms in a circle and say "Embraaaace", then exhale slowly pushing your arms out and say "Exteeeend".
"Yes - Once your poem is in a fixed and tangible form, you have copyright in your poem. You do not have to register your creation with the Copyright Board to have copyright."
I'm sure kids will learn tons with these fun quizes and games.
It does work with an internet connection, but not as a webservice. It would be like renting Windows, although the OS itself probably won't be a service for some time. It's more like how you have a channel package for your cable subscription, except you'd have different applications to suit your needs.
Basically, software as a service authenticates itself every month. If you stop subscribing, you either stop getting updates, fixes and support, or the software could stop alltogether. Ideally, you need lots of added DRM, otherwise it would be hacked.
"If it's VB6, run for the hills. It's end-of-lifed."
It's not entirely useless; I'm using my three VB6 MS books as a stand for my monitor to get to the right height. The only downside is that I continuously have 'VB 666' staring at me in the face.
I alsmost couldn't agree more; the only problem I think is that the Japanese work just as hard, if not harder, and they all live a lot longer. The Japanese, on the other hand, do eat amazingly healthy.

Some estimates put it at 300-500 megapixels, but it's really relative; the brain doesn't process all the eye sees.
There are no wasps immune to spider bites; only wasps who are very good at not getting bitten.

Then why doesn't he have an American accent!

Incidentally, nice ID.

It would cost a lot of jobs, which is bad for the economy. Plus it would stop a lot of money coming in from other countries; also bad for the economy.

"would have a stronger claim than one who merely asks his registrants to "self screen""
Isn't an UELA a self screening too?

"I don't see MS turning Windows into a web service. How are you going to access it from your PC, boot into Linux?"
Where did you get 'web' from?
I don't want my house to burn down, I'm pushing it as it is.

That sounds awfully Sonic to me..
Aren't those just the few big ones (ie. kde-base, kde-graphics, kde-games, etc)?
I meant that KDE could go into thousands of small modules instead (eg., each game being a separate module).
This should make it a whole lot easier on the Gentoo user machines - we will no longer have to recompile the entire X.Org source on every update.
I heard rumours of KDE going a similar route in the future.
Like Ubuntu?
You have a higher chance of getting hit by lightning than being killed in a Terrorist attack.
Neither are apple pies. Or, in fact, lawsuits.
Big time criminals used to get hanged or chopped into bits in the middle ages.
Not too long ago, they might get the electric chair!
Nowadays, hardened, dangerous criminals get detention at their parents' house.
Really, soon I won't even be afraid to walk the streets at night anymore.
It becomes more accurate when it starts replacing "Google" with "Live" though.
