But of course, the humans ate from the tree of knowledge, giving them the power to make their own b0xen to be root on.
And then they developed gene therapy and cloning, and pwn3d God.
Oh, and Eve says those extra cubits have really made a difference... of course, then Adam had an erection lasting for over four hours and had to contact his doctor.
Along similar lines, SuSE OpenExchange uses Postgres for, well, most of what it does (e-mail, document sharing, and a potentially-nifty information sharing doodad).
There's a lot of business that must be done by legislators. And not all of the legislators are expert enough on every issue to get much out of reading every bill.
I think what's worse than having bills not read is when unnecessary things are thrown onto bills. Basically, when a bill addresses work that everyone agrees needs to be done, and then it carries along with it some policy thing that legislators just deal with to get the important work done. This is a lot the way PATRIOT was (but PATRIOT is not by a far cry a rare example): important stuff about information sharing that needed to be passed had extra controversial stuff about information gathering tacked on. If they were split into seperate bills we may have been spared a lot of trouble.
One thing I've been working hard at over the past year in college is breaking away from the standards of mediocrity that I've let myself fall into over the past 13 years of my education. One thing that people find very often whether in education or in employment is that there's a well-worn path of expected behavior, and that if you do what's expected and do it well-enough, you'll get by.
Gilmore isn't the defendant, he's the one suing the government. So dismissing the case wouldn't really be a logical response to an unreasonable request from the defendant.
Denying the government their secret presentation of evidence might work.
Legislators don't always have time to read every bill that comes before them. They might read a summary of it if it's not something that's of particular interest to them, and when a bill deals with something they're not really an expert on they often vote along with their party's official stance, determined at meetings with the purpose of determining these stances and strategies.
In this radio program, in Act Two (unfortunately I think you have to listen to the program on RA or something) some of this is discussed. Now the PATRIOT Act seems like a pretty big and important bill, and one that should have had more attention paid to it. Hindsight is 20/20, and obviously the people that passed it didn't realize what a problem it would become.
Athletics are an interesting case because they can actually make money for major universities.
Which is why they're so corrupt, but that's another story.
Reading about Duke's plans for educational use of the iPod reminds me of many other plans for use of technology in classes in that it seems like they take a technology and try to build the classes around the abilities of the technology. Which makes the technology no more than a distraction. Don't worry too much, though, since if it's like any of these other things it'll be used and hyped in introductory courses; higher-level courses will still find and use technology that suits the needs of the class.
That's exactly why companies would like to offer software in a subscription-based manner. They can force you to pay for either nothing or for updates you don't need. They're not doing it because it'll be better for you.
One would hope that any kind of plugin installer that's built into Firefox wouldn't allow that plugin to kill extensions. Now if it's an OS native installer, that's another story.
Good and honest president with any integrity and no underlying agenda? Now I'm a bit young to know Reagan (I was born in his re-election year), but I've seen a few of Reagan's TV ads, and it seems like Reagan tried to create vague fear kinda like how Bush does, and he also seemed to be the father of trying to equate patriotism with conservatism in the public eye.
Can these people not tell the difference between someone just wearing a shirt and a corporate-sponsored ambush? Telling people that they can't eat "restricted" sandwiches or drink a frappe sounds more like the spirit of Stalin than that of the Olympics.
The blue screens I get at work give me no such thing. Just MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION.
Plus a bunch of error codes that, for all my research haven't led me to anythng other than, "it might-could be a driver error". Or hardware error. But no idea what driver or what hardware
Just 'cause you've never got one doesn't mean that it's impossible. My home XP partition takes a lot of abuse (heavy use, leaving on for weeks at a time, running 80 programs at once, etc) and has never crashed in 2 years as I can recall. My XP box at work is a more powerful machine under much lighter use (mostly just Firefox and Vim 8 hrs a day) and blue screens randomly about twice a day (besides that when I try to print from Word without first connecting to the proper VPN it goes nuts and crashes explorer). Memtest reports no errors, I've tried all sorts of supposed fixes to no avail, have the latest off all drivers, don't have any viruses or spyware... so it's not always user error.
As a runner, I find DDR to be great as complementary excercise. Nobody could ever get me to do plio consistently on its own, but DDR does. Also have friends that have got in better shape by playing it, although you have to get reasonably good for that to happen. You can't pass max-300 on heavy without being in damn good shape, I know that (I sure as hell can't do it, though that's just because I'm an uncoordinated clod)
Hah! Make'em like those arcade ski racer games where you lean the bike to turn. Give the game its own unique challenge so it's not just excercise with a TV.
Might be a bit difficult to make a cycling-based game that's as exciting as, say, DDR, but hey, add some weapons and head-to-head competition and it could be a physical version of Mario Kart...
There are lots of things I enjoy doing. I enjoy being a musician. I enjoy working on my computer. I enjoy running. And you enjoy driving. Fine. But I have to drive to get to work (it would be a two-hour trip on bike), so I think it's only reasonable that the roads be safe for people that need to get around. I don't consider myself an "ace driver" or something, but I work at being safe and alert, and I drive within the limits of my abilities, and defensively. It's that process that people I know that have fun driving aren't doing, and that's why I think fun driving makes roads unsafe.
Wind resistance increases dramatically (something like x^3) with speed. So at high speeds the engine must supply much more power to maintain the speed.
The reason, then, that highway gas milage is better than city, is because stopping and accelerating is a much worse fuel drain (the brakes take the car's kinetic energy and turn it straight to heat)

No, vi kicks emacs' ass.
And Natalie Portman is really hot at least five times, no puny three!
(Actually I know nothing of this Natalie Portman besides the constant raving of geeks and nerds... is she running a high fever?)

That's why you should always read at -1 and get the whole story!

Yeah, that would be a riot! All the damn partisans would be holding it in for weeks! And the headlines read, "Bush, Kerry supporters full of shit".

If you don't like it, ignore it. All negative mods are meta-moderated 'unfair'. ALL OF THEM.
If you want to see all the comments, read at -1 (that's what I do. I like to read trolls, they bring joy to my otherwise bleak existence).
It's in plain English, so no one should worry that they can't grasp it.
What if I don't speak English, you insensitive clod?
I'm almost tempted to install the flash plugin here at work... but the animated ads, they buuuuuurn!

As a runner, I've always wanted a running video game... now put that in VR, and online in a multi-player environment.
"You have just been passed by Alan Webb." D'OH!
