Don't be smart around stupid people - they'll come and beat you up for it. Avoid gatherings of other people - they'll beat you up because you 'looked funny at them'. Don't speak to classmates - they'll chase you around the school yard for using 'funny words'. Hate - it's difficult to learn to love people who chase you all the way home.
Should I go on?
I know, this doesn't go for everybody, but I can see that this on-line teaching will do some people a lot of good.
Here's a direct link to the.doc-file. Why is it a file for a word processor? Am I supposed to edit it or add my own ideas? That's what I always think when colleagues send me Word-files in stead of pasting the text in teh e-mail or sending a pdf.
Well, the good thing is that a lot of our navigation is now GPS-based, which is independent of the magnetic north. The bad thing is that there is a backup if the GPS-link fails on every ship and airplane: a plain compass...
No, change of language is not the issue. The issue is that I get a mailbox full of incomprehensible messages.
Orwell was probably right in 1940, because the world is now full of people who can't communicate. They _think_ other people understand them, and other people _think_ they heard right what the other said or wrote, but actually they live in complete isolation from eachother.
VIC for me too, and staid faithful to Commodore until 1999...
As it was: VIC 20 - as an eleven year old I was so excited when we were going to get it that I couldn't sleep. Commodore 128D - those were the days... Amiga 2000 - with an 8086 bridge board, but I never quite figured out what all the fuss was about that IBM compatibility was something useful. Amiga 1200 - with lots of peripherals that didn't fit in: a CD-ROM, a bigger hard disk, and stuff that overheated it: 10 MB memory, 68882 co-processor. I had a household fan blowing underneath the Amiga to keep it running. Apple iMac (a green one) iBook Dual G5
Indeed, apart from the accidental bridgeboard, no x86 ever entered the house. Still don't understand what all the IBM compatibility fuss is about... Or was that about IBM PPC CPU's...?
Does he address the possible slow-down of technological and economical development because we run out of energy and haven't found alternatives to oil and gas yet? Does he address the risk of global overheating if we find an infinite source of energy?
Comparing with the upper left area near the black patch, I would say that the light green patches are places where the ice is shallow; where the crater floor is near the surface of the ice. But I think that doesn't quite explain the long straight 'tendril' halfway in the patch you indicate.
Has ever anything been made that comes even close to Frontier? The only game ever that gave me such a feeling of exploration. Looking for odd moons near unlikely gas giants, mining and hoping I will strike gold... Actually doing gravity-assist slingslots just for the heck of it! Tuning the best config of engine and small ship to get that military message delivered quickly.
Wasn't ther for some time some project called Explorer 2260 that would incorporate it all? Like so many things Amiga, it fizzled out...
I think I should fire up my A1200 again, I need to play.
I think the web is not making us more gullible, but giving gullible people more chance to come into contact with nonsense to believe in.
Since the web started growing a few years back, I was surprised by the enormous amount of nonsense that I found and that people were believing. It was a sobering confrontation with the state of human intelligence.
The good thing about that is, that by the time they go into puberty, they will want to break away from everything parents and school push on them, so they'll go into Linux or Mac.
If this particular girl is as smart as they say, by the time she's in her late teens, she probably will want to have the level of control that Windows cannot give her.
Oxytocin is to make you care for others

They may very well not be measuring 'trust' but 'caring for'. Oxytocin is the hormone that makes people look after and care for children. The most basic care is feeding the children, and giving credits to someone is emotionally very much like feeding someone.

Social things learned in school:
Don't be smart around stupid people - they'll come and beat you up for it.
Avoid gatherings of other people - they'll beat you up because you 'looked funny at them'.
Don't speak to classmates - they'll chase you around the school yard for using 'funny words'.
Hate - it's difficult to learn to love people who chase you all the way home.

I read that first line right, but then I thought I read about the software giant's recent antiprivacy controversy...

Was it really written by people?
It sounds like the stuff from marketing drivel generators.
Z1 through Z4 were developed by Konrad Zuse in the 1930's and 40's.
I wonder if this Z5 is also largely mechanical...

A new Ariane and the Galileo GPS well under way, it seems Europe is into the space race in a very commercial way.
There has been one British astronaut flying under a UK flag, Helen Sharman, on a Soyuz, in 1991.

Hilarious clip!
But is 'shit' worse than 'fuck'? English is not my native language, so please inform me, so I don't make the same mistake.
My first impression: very crowded screens. Screen confusion taken a step further.
A reason not to use Linux: Choice.
Many distro's of Linux to choose from, so many applications to choose from...
Man, choosing is almost like thinking, it's hard!
How do they come to call the iPod an invention? It's existing technology in a new casing.
You can actually see the cloth protruding in this hi-res pic of Discovery's nose, just to the right and behind the nose wheel bay.

Apple is in the business of selling computers, not OSses. They're not going to support computers they didn't make themselves.

I don't care if they see my genitals. But you just can't x-ray people routinely without medical need! X-rays can cause cancer!
