I wish Google purchased Clusty... it'd be great because then people would see that query results are 'ordered information'... which, after all, is what Google is all about (first sentence). That way, Google would show that it "knows".

Y'know... the Linux community should unite and produce a Linux distro... to BRING THEM ALL... (and in the darkness bind them)
And for that, they would need to make a super configurable installation... (look at it as if it were a game... the user would choose 'Easy', 'Medium' or 'Hard' difficulties of installation...
Easy would only let you choose between Conservative (or Organized, if you will) GUI, and Radical (or pretty) (KDE or Gnome).
Medium would let you customize some things... (heavy or light installation... which types of programs to include)
And advanced would allow you to choose filesystems or other things... or which features to include/exclude.
I'm guessing this isn't possible and that's why there are no initiatives to do this nowadays... but it'd be sweet to see what the whole opensource community can come up if they could get organized... (I'm willing to bet they'd roxxor Microsoft's socks).
I'm receiving weird emails everyday... they all seem to be from distraught girls who are disappointed with their boyfriends:
Today I received an email from a girl called Neomi Rosina. The subject read: "CHEEAP WAY TO BIGGER UR SHORT & THIN D11CK am".
The body of the email contained the following.
benefit benefit window parents, few supposedto not? explain fire happened or,
allow being purpose. nothing end wife wrong different my. benefit find bad am.
benefit already similar off again? slow whom the anybody reference beautiful. mischievous corner use.
profession wanted young. shining here motor reply latter black?
window appearance supposedto wrong beautiful.
There seems to be scientific proof that
Normal Person + Annonymity in the web + Audience = Total Fuckwad. Always keep that in mind.
Parent post correctly points out the importance of morality. Lack of it will lead a kid to become a bully in school. Too much morality, and he/she will end up being bullied.
I'm guessing more educated people have been under more stress than others.
If you think about it... educated people get more 'stressful' jobs... and also have been their whole lives under a system of education that can put a lot of pressure on them, if they want to excel.
I guess I'm more of a bandwidth hogger... besides, I just DON'T want to go back to the old times where my connection suddenly became inactive or I unexpectedly got disconnected.
On the other hand, my family shares the connection, and we use it to save costs on conference calls via Skype... or just using Google Talk. Which are not exactly bandwidth-intensive, but they do have an impact on surfing or downloads if you're using a modem connection.
Btw, mod parent up +1 insightful... (don't have spare mod points in my virtual pockets)
Google is actually pretty restrictive, when it comes to locations. I'm sure they've been busy, but sometimes they seem inconsistent within their services:
They won't let you pay for a Google Video unless you reside in the U.S., or the UK.
Also... Google Earth doesn't have the same ammount of cities as Google Analytics. My town, Garza García (Nuevo Leon, Mexico), isn't searchable in their G.E., but Analytics reports visitors from there.
Even though 'Earth' was 'recently' bought from Keyhole, and Analytics from Urchin... it would be nice for them to synchronize their databases.
I feel Microsoft should code their new Internet Explorer 7 to be fully compatible with computers that date as far back as Windows 98 or ME. They deserve something much better than IE6.
Imagine if you bought a car that would allow someone to easily get access to your car if they stuck a paper clip in the door-handle's lock. The previous 'hack' is only possible if the car is turned on, and the fault is caused by improper coding of the door-handle's security system. This car's operating system is on its 9th generation, which you heard was less prone to leave the engine stalling than its predecessors.
When you complain to the car's vendor about security issues, he gladly lists your choises for protection:
1. A 500 pound juggernaut called Norton that will certainly keep your car safe, though he'll have a 'slight' impact on your performance.
2. Mr. McAfee, who 'might' get the perpetuators...
3. A russian officer that goes by the name of Kaspersky... he does the job well, but is such a perfectionist that he even warns you that you shouldn't turn on the radio.
So, you see... if we were talking about cars, a lawsuit would force the vendor to replace the faulty car... but in this case the faulty cars are all that have come out of the production line... and they're not cars... they're computers... so that's a touchy subject when dealing with lawsuits.
Ok, seems like sleep deprivation caused me to drift away. Anyhow, you don't need to support obsolete browsers. But I guess from Firefox 1.0.7, and from IE6 and up,... you're good to go. Right now, browsers shouldn't be able to be distributed unless they firmly comply with some standards. The acid2 test is a nice, strong test for browsers.
I was having the same doubts as I began remodeling my blog and I decided to include support for the major browsers (Firefox, IE6, Opera, Netscape...) I don't have to mention Konqueror or other browsers because they are most certainly standards compliant.
Most sites will break down in IE5 for Macs.
Lets hope that the book that Cliff is writing is completed soon enough, so that stupidity levels lower and people can start taking care of their own systems. This last sentence has given me a novel idea:
People should require having a license to use a computer. To acquire one, they should simply keep a computer for testing purpose 'alive' for a month or so. If it gets 'ill' (catches a virus, or any sort of malware), they shouldn't get a license.
I disagree... those rules apply only if what we're not supposed to talk about is a GOOD thing. In this case, its about a program that is crippling consumer's computers without their approval.

I've been pondering about the philosophical questions that FPS Doug has already asked... 'is there a respawn in RL?'
Touché... 'see it through their eyes', I really enjoy trying to make others live through the 'most excellent' experience of a good movie.
Thanks for the link... though the camera crew should've also showed some of the slides or pictures that Wright talked about.

Watch out for the pimp subroutine... on the other hand I kinda get turned on by the ho function...

Kudos mate. Its moments like this that you'll look back and remember when lying on your deathbed. Mod parent up.
