Sounds like a fine idea. How do you mean "all without any programming" though? You'd have to have the code which determines sound based on the defined properties of all objects/surfaces involved, no?
Sounds sort of like Saturn's radio emissions... Does everything around Saturn sound the same? Perhaps it's all eminating from a single source? I dunno, maybe some sort of black rectangular monolith?
Dude, are you saying dams DON'T fuck up ecosystems? Of course different ecosystems develop after the dam, but the existing one is fucked. That is ALL I'm saying.
Considering how fast Yahoo and Hotmail were to fall in line with increased storage, I don't think it's going to hit them very hard financially. Seems like they could have been doing this all along, but were content giving 10mb since there was not much else out there.
Doesn't it seem like anyone who has been paying for Yahoo or Hotmail has been totally getting ripped off? It's obvious now that their product as of a couple months ago was half a hack, considering what they are able to offer today. Thanks, Google, for bitchslapping the companies that have been bitchslapping their customers.
Let me put it this way: the messages filtered by the Yahoo SpamGuard (not BulkGuard, mind you) -- including bulk, like newsletters -- are called Spam, by Yahoo's system. If Bulk folder != Spam folder in Yahoo world, I must be missing something.
Yahoo's spam filtering actually sucks. It's constantly putting newsletters and such in the Bulk Mail folder. You'd think they'd have some sort of Bayesian learning function connected to the "This is not spam" button. Evidently not.
Funny, out of all the states I've driven in, Virginian drivers are the worst about cruising in the passing lane. Either 80% of Virginians don't know of this rule, or 80% of Virginians are complete douchebags.
(Between you and me, as a former Virginian, it's the latter.)
In case you don't know, the *legal* place for cyclists to ride is where other vehicles ride: the street. Sidewalk riding is dangerous for pedestrians AND bicyclists. So next time you're going 45 in your thousand-pound hunk of steel, have a heart and give a few feet to the bicyclist you're about to pass. Might as well learn to live peacefully with us.
Actually, fixed gear and singlespeed bikes are not necessarily slow at all. Track bikes, for example, are fixed gear, meaning no shifting and no coasting. When the wheels are a spinnin', so be the feet. Speed is all about the gear ratio of the chain wheel & rear sprocket, and the cadence of the cyclist. The pros can get up to the 150 rpm range. If they're riding at 52/14 (chainwheel/sprocket teeth; too high for regular riding but good for training and racing) with a standard 210 cm tire circumference, that's 45mph!
"Well, if I have to prove to you there is a God, you have to prove to me there isn't."
As they say, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Was the onus upon us, for example, to prove to Heaven's Gate that there was no UFO behind Hale-Bopp? I mean no disrespect here, but your belief that a divine being came into Earth's affairs with intent and sparked the intellect in humanity (and presumably saw fit for every other species to remain wihout it) is no less absurd than a heavenly spaceship tailgaiting a comet and taking hitchikers, in that neither belief is in any way supported by verifiable evidence.
Atheism isn't necessarily about stating categorically that there are no gods (though "strong atheists" do claim as much). It just means you have yet to fathom a god that might actually exist. Someone once said something like, "Everyone is atheist with respect to all the religions they don't agree with, Atheists are just atheist with regard to one more."

It was Saturn in the book. Kubrik chose Jupiter for the film because they couldn't get Saturn's rings to look real enough.
STOP MAKING AUTOMOBILES! :-p

Hey pal, I never said ecosystems are static, unchanging, or utopian, so point your vitriol hose somewhere else.
It's not only submerging history, it's fucking up the ecosystem of the entire region. Just like every dam does.

Yahoo still tosses them to the bulk mail folder (as of yesterday).

What if you append "in bed" to every subject?
Too bad they just broke it under w3m though. I used to check that mailbox from work through an SSH tunnel. No more :(

Q: Is the Linux Desktop Getting Heavier and Slower?
A: Yes. Yes it is.

Nope, Pep Boys is funding Microsoft with cash.

The "pants-down" thing shoulda tipped me off...
Interesting. Just curious where you found that-- it's not showing up on google. Thanks
Actually, the untruncated quote is:
The first stage of fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and Corporate power.
