Maybe he doesn't want to for the rest of his life be studied by some scientists. I would love to help people but I sure as hell wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life in front of doctors if I was in his position, I would rather continue a "normal" life (you know, normal,/. reading computer geek)
Wow big fscking surprise...fscking disgraceful. I can't wait until the end of next year when I move out of the US to go to get my masters in Dresdin Germany - no more of this crap. Maybe I'll stay there for a few extra years (or decades)
Take the year of the first performance of Carmen (1875) and multiply the first 3 digits of your phone # by it
Add 1
Multiply by the Apollo mission number that was the fifth NASA mission that led to humans on the moon (16)
Add the random number 3734
Divide by the first odd prime number (3)
Subtract the year Beatus of Liébana published his Commentary on the Apocalypse (786)
Add the last 4 digits of your phone number
Subtract the Whyte classification number for the 1927 NYC named the Hudson (464)

I'm waiting for news saying they have now created a virus based on it and any website that loads its ad will download the virus or something. Oh well - I love my (obviously virus free) Mac!
The cheapest today in my area of Ohio was $3.30 for the cheap 87 grade gas - which won't run in my car. I have to put in at least 91 grade, anything lower and the car doesn't run properly (even at 89 grade it sucks)
Who said anything about adding to what is there?? The displacement does not change if the ice is melted because you aren't adding water, just changing ice to water - same displacement.
"Many people recognize that the cost to duplicate a piece of software is a fraction of the number on its price tag."
Yea right! A good piece of software, say a game or an office suite or something takes R&D which costs money, the actual software development which costs money, testing and fixing bugs which costs money, writing documentation which costs money, producing the boxes/labels/CDs/etc which costs money, and advertising which costs money. Employees must be payed and until the software goes for sale, the companies have a lot of sacraficing money wise. Although a box, book, and CD don't cost much, if you sell your software for say $100, it still takes a LOT of software to be sold in order to cover the costs of the employees and their work. Sure, after awhile, for example with Windows XP and its 4 year age the cost to create it has been well covered, but for smaller companies its not just a matter of being a fraction of the cost to create it.
Hydrogen is the most abundant resource in the UNIVERSE! Why the hell would we need to make it?
We should stop worring about making more of what covers almost all of the universe and worry about stuff that matters - like fuel, greenhouse gasses, bandwidth wars, online duals, and reading slashdot?
Against some people's ideas, books can be a great way to learn (especially because you don't have to keep switching between programs, just keep the book on your lap). I like the OpenGL Superbible (ISBN 0672326019 or linky) despite the name pissing me off.
I used to have one of these - was loads of fun until it stopped working. I think I still have it somewhere in my basement.
If I remember right, didn't it use some sort of BASIC for its shell and programming?
The only difference is that HL2 has been finished and is amazing! They also didn't say oh this will be in HL2, well nvm we cant get it done it time but it may end up in HL 1, nvm that too we can't finish it.
Longhorn will be XP with a different look and all the same problems.

They create 100 file systems in 20 seconds! Amazing!

At least one crash per day?? Something MUST be wrong with you setup -- that's WAY too little a number per day!

I'm guessing you skipped freshman reading skills.
And what would a /.er need with a tanning lamp?
One word - Knoppix. I can mount your HD and ignore your fscking file permission system.

I'm running 10.4.2, downloaded this just now and ran it for about an hour without a single problem (other than the fact I have no artistic abilities)

That was a holograph programmed by Lanning before he died and he only gave it certain responses - this is a robot.

Nope just a coat of paint and a spotlight clone which probably won't work
