People infected with HIV can easily live long enough to pass it onto others or even have children. In that way it isn't really headed for rough times, even if it kills all of its victims.
Of course a virus that doesn't cause any problems may be far more successful than one that kills its host.
Is it possible in wikipedia to 'revert' an article to a previous version quickly, without having to manually edit it, say to remove random text entered by some moron? Figured I'll ask here since its relatively on-topic:)
How do you turn around? With that, you're limited to facing one direction. o_0
By moving the mouse...
When I say I can play one handed, I mean just for a little while, take left hand off keyboard to grab a drink, while changing direction + moving forward + firing with just the mouse:)
Yeah, I never thought they were supposed to be lasers anyway. Same with blasters. I thought lightsabers were sort of force-related, hence magical, hence science doesn't matter.
I know exactly what you're talking about. I get that all the time. For myself at least, it can easily be explained by coincidence the the brains insane ability to detect patterns. The thing is, these sorts of coincidences are likely to happen all the time, its just the way the world is, can't be any other way. However, not everyone will notice them. I find I notice them more often. Just by NOTICING it, it makes you feel like the two matching events are somehow special, if you get what I mean. As for situations spanning just a few seconds, often it can be due to the way the brain treats time. I sometimes feel like I was thinking about the word someone says just a few seconds before, but probably what happened was my brain changed my memory and got the times mixed up.(Same sort of thing when you 'wake up JUST before the alarm clock goes off'. What actually happens is you are woken by the alarm clock, but your sense of time is distorted, and your brain gets confused).
Normally it IS just coincidence though. I believe if you studied it a bit more, you'll find you can never actually -predict- something, you can only match up the two events AFTER they have both occured. Since the brain is hard-wired for pattern recognition, it can make you think you predicted it earlier, when infact there were hundreds of other thoughts also going on inside your head, which didn't end up with another matching event, but you're brain ignores those BECAUSE they don't match.)
Sorry if that didn't make sense, but hopefully you get the general gist of what I'm saying.

90A ?!?!! Do you mean 90 W? Makes me think GP meant 1000W, not 1000A.
Curent is measured in Amps (A)
Voltage is measured in Volts (V)
Power is measured in Watts (W)
Power = Voltage * Current
You are a sick, sick man :)
Because flash is slow and costs heaps?

Doesn't BOINC give you the ability to run folding@home though?
cheesythighs???
ahha, you just brightened up my day with that one :)
Am I the only one who, at first glimpse, thought that robot was michael jackson?
Ah, so its like how jedi's build their own lightsabers? Nerds build their own slider rules? :)
I'm guessing solar panels weight far more than whatever material they have made the wings out of.
THANKYOU! Someone on slashdot actually used 'betting the question' correctly! :)

Think you're weird?!
:)
My quake3 controls are:
z: strafe left
x: strafe right
a: back
space: jump
right mouse: forward
q: select railgun
w: select RL
e: select shotgun
Allows me to play one handed, which is useful for drinking [insert favourite beverage].
All other games I use wasd though
I design armchairs for a living you insensitive clod!
Lowest price contractor?...NASA...uh, no :)
Hes the meatball
I like sqrt(-1) for that sort of thing. And don't you dare tell me shes not real!

Good call!
Gee thanks for ruining it for me :(
