We are lucky that we can be heretics today without any danger of being burned at the stake. But unfortunately I am an old heretic. Old heretics do not cut much ice. When you hear an old heretic talking, you can always say, "Too bad he has lost his marbles", and pass on. What the world needs is young heretics. I am hoping that one or two of the people who read this piece may fill that role.
I thougt abount bekoming a heretik myselph but then even being young you can't be a good heretik without a good spell checker.
don't worry, I am unemployed now, i was doing teaching in 1998/1999 and was sacked before the end of the term.
i got the job because in the country that I lived the they didn't have enough people who knew enough english to teach at beginners level.
I have lost the job for a different reason that you might think.
Somebody has done it before. I applied for a job as an English language teacher, and a lady interviewing me said that it is company's policy to test every applicant no matter what certificates and diplomas they have. So i was given the test quickly done the 2/3 of it and then discovered that in the most difficult rest all the answers were wrong. I noticed that some of the answers were SLIGHTLY INCORRECT, so after correcting them i marked them accordingly I have passed pack the test paper. Later the lady told me she was impressed with my test results, as few people saw the trap in the test.
Never mind upgrading, it won't even install on Dapper partition.
Installation on spare partition went without problems, but when I wanted to install it on Dapper's partition wiping Dapper off completely, installer kept moaning something about lack of root partition and no matter what I tried I coudn't install it.

My answer to you post would be that God was in a rush, so he created human monolithic kernel ver1.0. Female brain is apparently better at concentraiting on more things at the same time, so kernel ver1.1 shows the direction where the Almighty would eventually go.
I wonder when the kernel patch will be available.

I KNOW A PARTIALLY SIGHTED WOMAN WHO HAS TO FIGHT WITH EVERYBODY FOR RIGHT TO USE CAPS LOCK. She's got a laptop from some charity so she can use it to enlarge texts and have some contact with outside world. To help her with comfortable access to information on certain website I had to download everything and set text size in CSS to 80px. Usually it can't be done so writing using Caps Lock is the only way others can do to help her communicate. So if Caps Lock is a problem why instead of eliminating it completely why do we use in future some key combination so those who need it might still use it.
In Eastern Europe we don't pick up mushrooms to get narcotic high. It is merely a popular ingredient in our cuisine. The guy got his priorities right. No matter how rich and famous you are, in the West you cant get exactly the same ingredients for East European food.
As mushrooms based meals are so delicious, I wouldn't be bothered to travel somewhere to get some stupid price when there is high season for mushrooms.
i bet i can fix my human erors quicker than you find and fix bugs in your software. spend some time in real life. it's nice and sunny day today, hope it is the same where you live.
Log in on the web to your skype account and set it up properly. You can do it if you select an option in one of skype menus. Then you buy out some skype credit to activate Skyoe out and can call to US for free. It's so simple:-) As added benefit you can have cheap calls to ather parts of the world. Although sound quality can be bad sometimes.
I used Mandriva for 5 years, few months ago I moved to Ubuntu and I am not going back. Quality is important to me. I don't wan't to waste time trying to fight the system.
It is not completely blodless. But the blood loss can me minimised so that patient does not need transfusion. Read the atricle.
Bloodless surgery techniques vary depending on the type of operation, but can include efficient heart-lung bypass machines that circulate a patient's blood during surgery; using high-tech scalpels that clot the blood as they cut tissue; or freezing tissue before it's excised.
Some of the most startling achievements in the use of computers to automate design are being accomplished by the use of evolutionary search algorithms to evolve designs.
http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/P.Bentley/evdes.html
The page describes a book about Evolutionary Design which covers such subjects as:
design optimization
creative design
the creation of art
artificial life forms
There's design and creation all over the place.
What about a theory of Automated Design?
Would it cause so much stir as Intelligent Design?
How can you tell the difference between things that were designed and those that evolved using some kind of evolutionary process? Just google for references to evolution of software or have a look at example below to see what I mean
What about the beginning? In computers as in biology it is impossible to explain the beginings of the hardware to run the automated design process without either expecting design by a supreme being (it is us in case of computers) or some impossible series of events.
It is not only religious people don't buy the story about dinosaurs being ancestors of birds, some scientists do it too...
The generally accepted theory that dinosaurs are the ancestors of modern birds is being challenged. New research published Monday in the Journal of Morphology suggests that what was thought to be "protofeathers" are more likely to be skin-related tissues, according to Dr. Alan Feduccia of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. While these scientists agree that dinosaurs and modern birds share a common reptile ancestor, the theory that dinosaurs are the ancestors of the modern birds is flawed or "..full of holes.."

Kamchatka is between Japan and Alaska
the finding also deepens the debate over what makes a planet
Hmm, and I was wondering if the finding should start debate on what makes a star or stellar object, silly me

It's more likely that after few dozens of false alarms they will start suing people for wasting RIAA time :-D

Being some kind of fundie I find it very amusing. LOL
The top lettering ruins the image, it looks like a homepage logo from 1998.

Oh, so for the 7th anniversary would it be OK?
Sorry, I couldn't resist asking.
