    There really is at least one moderator who can go and mod this as troll!! Geez!

    Anyway, you were already marked as my friend for some time ago, and this post just reinforces it :)

  3. Wow on Space Shuttle Discovery to Launch July 26 · · Score: 1

    Wow, a few minutes ago I accidentally remembered that I hadn't heard news about this recently, which worried me a bit since I'd heard that the launch window would end in the end of this month. But now I see NASA's apparently done it, congratulations to them :)

  4. Re:Take heed on New Study Finds VOIP is Getting Better · · Score: 1

    I liked the fact that 4 nine's transformed themselves into 5 nine's in the middle of your equations. You can't do what you did, your proof is only valid for an infinite amount of digits, which is commonly written as 99.(9). In this new case, it amounts to proving that 1/3*3 = 1.

    Or is 10*99.99 = 999.99 in the place where you come from? ;)

    Your link is correct, though...

    Geez, transferring a DVD in about 8 minutes...

    Anyway, it's a good thing that you guys have such connections... With dc++ I often download from swedish people at very high speeds, even though my upload speed sucks (I'm in Portugal). One can almost feel the hard drive melting ;)

    So what? Even if there were no other countries with such speeds (which is false), it would be quite good for them...

  11. A feeling I had on One Step Away from Changing Daylight Savings Time · · Score: 1

    I was reading TFA, and saw this sentence:

    Congressional leaders of both parties have signed off on a proposal, being considered in Washington this week, blah blah blah

    Geez, it sometimes feels so strange for someone who doesn't live in the US to see something like "both parties have signed"... Here we would see something like "all parties..."

    It hasn't even been proved that we have a soul. For all we know, our feeling of "having a soul" is just a side-effect of our brain's activity. What matters is that were sentient.

    Damn, so is a sentence like that enough to gain some karma? Maybe I haven't noticed since I tend to avoid the linux/windows fanboys discussions on this site...

    It also wants a judge to order Lee to return any documents, files or reports he obtained from Microsoft and to forbid him from destroying any documents related to Microsoft and Google's move to hire him.
