However, I'd say for most people, its not worth paying $400 dollars for a TV of any size or picture quality.
1. Think about the savings in power consumption. 2. Remember cars were expensive before Henry Ford. (Just wait until the mass productions lower the costs)
This is, try to sell your development services to someone who needs the software you're developing. But instead of selling the software, sell the development and support. Of course you have to state that this is an open source project and that it won't be exclusive to them.
Sooner or later their computer monopoly will die - it was its destiny since they founded it (just like russian communism). You really can't expect to dominate the market by brute force. It works for some years, but then the people begin to look for alternatives.
Open source is like a democracy... it's in its nature to work and succeed.
So what's left for microsoft? To escape from their autoritarian model and rejoin the market they're most successful with: The XBOX.
What we know for sure, is that the Microsoft as we know it today, will no longer exist.
Dude, do you realize that electronics 30 years ago were in their infancy? OOooh look, a transistor radio!
Nanotech will grow exponentially just like electronics (expect some Moore Law regarding nanotech to appear soon). Problem is, exponential growth rates are VERY SLOW on the beginnings.
But wait in 10 or 15 years when nanotubes manufacturing is completely understood and industrialized.
But let's remember... that the tobacco companies sued Jeffrey Wigand for disclosing something they were doing wrong. Was it illegal what he did? Yes. Was it morally incorrect? NO WAY.
My words for the CSUSA: If someone so powerful like the tobacco companies couldn't keep a shameful secret hidden, what thinks you can? So sue them. Dig your own grave.
The whole thing was hilarious. Specially the "It cain't" titanic parody, and my favorite, La Kafkaracha. For those not spanish-savvy, 'la cucaracha' means "the cockroach" in spanish. It's also a famous traditional song in Mexico. (Ironically, the song is about a cockroach not being able to walk because it's missing a leg).
Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but this would be a tremendous move for schools.
Okay kids, for tomorrow bring me a 10 pages essay on blahblahblah. And DO NOT use computers! It has to be done by hand! -What? -But teacher... -No way!
there is another passage, in Isaiah, if memory serves, that is often interpreted to declare God's ways above ours, and that we should not seek to understand his ways.
Did you read that in context? I think that "God's ways" actually refers to God's decisions and declarations towards who should be punished and why. I remember a passage in Ezeq (or was it Jeremiah?) saying that it was man's way which was twisted, and not God's. It was about God not punishing a person for his father's sins. So this has nothing to do with Bible interpretation and science.
You're right that the varied interpretations of the Bible have led to divisions in christianity. And this is precisely my reason for not being a protestant: it was Luther who said that anyone could interpret the Bible on his own - we see the consequences now.
(It's funny tho, people chose to interpret the bible on their own to get away from the Catholic Church, and a couple of hundred years later, they end up being worse than the spanish inquisition. Just a thought)
The two definitions of science both seem reasonably sound.
The second definition replaces the "natural explanations" with "more adequate explanations". They're using technobabble to confuse the unprepared reader. By not having "natural explanation" in the sentence, they can truly claim that creationism _IS_ science.
Its like the goal is absolute ignorance of everything not in the Bible. Nothing that I read in the Bible supports that viewpoint. Can anyone explain this?
One word: Fanatism.
Fanatics brainwash their followers, but telling them lies isn't enough. They have to change their whole MINDSET. "Believe or be damned". This, with its implications: "Teach what I told you or be damned". In the end, they're just sputtering the lies that their human leaders have invented.
What does that have to do with the Bible? NOTHING! They're just using the bible as an excuse to justify their twisted beliefs. They've forgotten that the Bible was written by MEN (inspired or not, that's beyond our scope), and must remember that. And more important, non-scientist men.
We've reached an era where superstition and fanatism have surpassed science and reason. To put it simply, fanatics can't accept science because that would mean their entire belief system is WRONG (cognitive dissonance anyone?).
Ironically, a passage of Bible speaks about people shutting their eyes and covering their ears so they wouldn't listen to God's Truth. Yes, pretty ironic.

If you stopped using windows... developers would have a reason... yaddayadda... Simple economics 101.
If enough people stand in front of a running truck, it'll eventurally stop. OK who goes first?

Yes, that submission certainly had an incompetent wording!

So far, Firefox had been free of remote execution vulnerabilities - let alone EXPLOITS using javascript.
A black spot in Firefox's history.

They're still "bundled-with-lotsa-stuff" motherboards, but there are simpler models with less-bundled-stuff in.

La kafkaracha's face was very funny, too!

I'll test the amazing Linux versus the ultra-slow windows NT.
Config:
Linux: Latest Redhat running on Opteron 4GHz
Windows: Windows 3.1 running on a Pentium 100.
And the winner is...?[/sarcasm]

Shouldn't those sites be using the NoCache directive and shouldn't Google be honoring it?
Maybe because they were meant for the BROWSER CACHE and not for a WEB-DISRUPTING GLOBAL DATABASE?

HA HA!
Is it true that Annakin Skywalker dies at the end? Someone told me this and it's just ruined the movie for me.
:D How's that, huh?
Wanna know what would be a REAL plot twist?
Anakin's evil twin brother rapes his wife, kills him and becomes Darth Vader!
Or even better...
Anakin simply does NOT become Vader, and they live all happily ever after!
"Saga, I AM your prequel"
Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
Bonus poiints if there is a scene where Anakin kills Jar-Jar.
Yes, I can imagine the applauses, yells and whistles of all the fans - just like when Yoda took out his light saber and began to fight.

If you really want the tackle what's teaching kids to "abuse women, join street gangs, kill police officers..." then get them out of the ghetto
Finally someone who realizes that it's the status quo who forces poor people to become women abusers and join street gangs.
