    By those same ToS, having a chart of information such as "thefts per capita" would be in violation...

    Yea, and I've gone back to try and find old projects or software, only to find that it was hosted on geocities, tripod or the like.

    Yea, the HTML was horrid, but the files the HTML linked to were not necessarily.

    Why would you (routinely) want to directly edit your object files? What exactly are you trying to do that a non-experimental compiler can't do better?

  4. Re:Cool, but not as awesome as the headline says on New System Propels Satellites Without Propellants · · Score: 1

    You can maneuver with reaction wheels and a charged tether. You likely could get away with the most massive (ideally central) satellite using this, and the rest can be "pulled" using this new system relative to it.

    It sounds like this whole scheme would then be limited by the power storage capacity of the satellites. Lots of solar, good batteries, or maybe RTGs (though not sure how much that would be accepted, in orbit)

    How do you measure growing? Sure, I have an account. Because I did it to get gmail to stop nagging me. I [i]never[/i] use it, and have no plans to.

    If anything I'm wasting resources for G+!

    I'd rather an honest dictator than a lying "representative."

    At least you're sure of what you are getting with the former.

    It rejected -no- referrer just the same. It's alright, he replied with a google cache link (but the result makes no sense to me in context so... whatever.). Thanks though.

    The image loaded, but it makes no sense to me. Woman on a catwalk with some kind of vessel hovering nearby? What does that have to do with anything?

    I'd wonder as well how much of it is because of the distinct lack of demos, shareware, and trials.

    I don't want integrated search and indexing. I know where I put my shit, because I put it there and can manage organization on my own. I don't need memory and CPU cycles wasted on crawling through my data.

    This applies to whatever Gnome has for it, MS' desktop search etc just as strongly.

    Let's not forget the fact that you are not electing shit (when it comes to the presidency).

    If we really wanted to change things, the first thing that needs to go is the electoral college.

  23. Re:I can appreciate this as I watched my father di on Neurologists Shine Light On Near-Death Experiences · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I don't have much to say in regards to conjecture about what he saw (or did not see) but I am sorry for your loss, and it is good that you were there to be with him for it and I thank you for not (based on what you said anyway) being selfish and refusing to let go. If only more people could do that.

    I watched my grandfather refuse to let my grandmother go. Her passing took a full week, and it was painful. If he had let her go, it would have been quick and quiet.

    Yes, you certainly have digressed. Fictional origin of the quote aside, I would agree with you (and said character). If you believe it acceptable, you should be willing to carry it out yourself.

    I would be. You seem to forget how seriously such cases are weighed. Courts do not take a flippant attitude when it comes to execution. We don't live in medieval France anymore.

    who the hell do we think we are to "conclude" anything?

    try it before you read too deeply into what ignorant scientists are telling us.

    Whatever this "DMT" thing you speak of is, I think you've been smoking a bit too much of it.
