You can run Linux (LinuxPPC, SuSE (beta), Debian (beta?) ) on the powerbooks and it will be much faster. Photoshop is not nicer under windows. You're still stuck with all your windows and tools in one big window. Most people use Macs with Photoshop because it runs better.

No again. I am surprised your brain even functions well enough to process oxygen. The idea of these psychopathic religious freaks who you are supporting is that the community should pay more than they already are to prevent people from accessing a great deal of information, some of which involves nudity.

Half right. in '02' the zero tells us that the place holds 2 digits. in 2000, the 0's are not place holders they are numbers counting the exact quantity of hundreds, tens, and ones of whatever you're counting; in this case years. Think back to 1st grade. 2000= 2*1000 +0*100 +0*10 +0*1 I mean seriously you're saying that 10001001 (binary) is the same as 111 (binary). I have news for you, 137 is not 7. ---CONFLICT!!---

It's a more general Algebraic term, not just in rings, also groups, fields, etc.
Given the normal integers with our normal operation of addition zero is the additive identity. i.e. the number you can add to anything to get itself. As a side note in this situation with normal multiplication 1 is the multiplicative identity.

I was referring to the original book which he wrote to show what an incredible visionary he was.

True, But maybe you can clear up something that bugs me about the whole "background radiation" thing. If it's radiation left over from the big bang, then didn't it radiate in all directions from the center of the universe at the time of the big bang? If this is the case, then how come it's still here? I mean shouldn't it exist as the surface of a sphere making up the expanding "boundary" of the universe? This question never occurred to me when I was in physics class but it seems to make sense. Where is the flaw? ---CONFLICT!!---
Two-dimensional disks, and he calls them "orbit-spheres"? Last I heard, spheres had 3 dimensions. This isn't just nit-picking. Are these charges carried by spheres or disks? There's a big difference
A circle is one dimensional and a sphere is 2 dimensional. A sphere is a 2 dimensional subspace of "normal" Euclidian 3 space. The definition of a circle, sphere, hypersphere whatever is:
The set of all points x such that the distance from a given point O (often taken to be the origin of your coordinate system) to x equals a constant r. So the "interior" of the sphere doesn't make ense to talk about. It's all surface
There is a big difference between spheres and disks, but they are both 2 dimensional A sphere is as above, but a disk is a circle (1 dimensionalm it's just a line withe the ends curved around and joined) with the interior which gives it area hence 2 dimensions.
The proof of the fact that circles and higher dimensional analogues are also n-dimensional Euclidian manifolds embedded in n+1 dimensional space is left as an exercise for the reader.
>>How dare you accuse parents of maiming their children! Have a few kids and then rethink this argument.
The ridiculousness of this statement is amazing. Perhaps he has an inheritable affliction and decided not to have children for just this reason. Now allergies are not that bad, but I remember seeing something on TV about a couple who had (I think) 3 kids who were horribly deformed and retarded. After the first one they were told absolutely that their chances of having a remotely normal child were so close to zero as to be almost non existant. They not only had 2 more, but were planning on continuing having several more. Their excuse was, of course, to blame it on god and say that he wanted them to have more. In point of fact if you believe in god you have to admit (if you're honest) that it is his fault.
So in conclusion my belief is that you did nothing wrong in having kids (yeah, I know thanks for nothing;-) but these people should be shot in the head for condemning these children to a tortured existence. ---CONFLICT!!---
I don't know about the current ie, but this is another "innovation" they stole from netscape. You have been able to do this for a loooong time. ---CONFLICT!!---
