    Linux is the best operating system for getting hardware to do what you want, but it's professional friendly.

    Windows is the prettiest way to shoot yourself in the foot, and it's really easy to use.

    No, I think the point has been missed. This is an ongoing thing. As long as there are only 2 fighting, then there will only be 2 getting noticed.

    "Oh what about Mac?" Mac is the Kia of it's time. It's what you need, and only what you need. What's the fun in that? If it can't be exploited and run against, then how can we compare it? Eventually, you will be able to buy one, and get one free.

  9. Mathmatical expressions? on Going Beyond Fermat's Last Theorem · · Score: 0

    I'm no math nut, but is this article in line with the most up-to-date mathmatical expressions? I read the article, but found that most of it looks like some unsupported HTML code that dates back when they first discovered that this was a mathmatical problem. Also, there is no, um, thing to understand? I mean, I RTFM, and I still don't understand WTF it's about... but, once a guy called me stupid.

    What about Bill Gates??? Has no-one thought about HIS feelings? What if people learn something different than Microsoft? Bill has a goal too. I mean, eventually, Microsoft will remind us that Earth is flat. I mean, I'm one who remembers the world when we all knew it was flat. Man-kind has been cheated by the "fact" that Earth is round. It's round, but the only pics they give you are the one's from right above, and that is just the earth's shape, a circle, but a flat circle. Are we really going to give into the dorks that spend hours of their days, just to provide the computing world a "groovy", or "hip" way to compute. No, this needs to be in the hands of qualified professionals, like those at Microsoft. If it weren't for Microsoft, then what will kids be going to school for, just to learn that 2+2=5? Come on man, you ain't fool'n me!

    that we can't have both? Why can't there just be apps that you pay for, and apps that you get from your good friend that wrote the shit? I have a friend that's a goddamn genus, but he's not got enough time to write a program for everything. I'm assuming that everyone else is like that too. If you want some software, then look for it. Like what you find for free? get that. Don't like what's free? Go buy something. There is something to be said about a relationship that only costs one party or the other, and I think that one thing is to be said very carefully.

    Pfff, I didn't call you stupid, nor am I trying to debate this idea. We can all say that they came home alive, because of some outstanding help, right? Okay, leave it. I was only trying to get others to consider that there was more to it. And no, I'm not trying to preach. I am just one that thinks that this Apollo 13 mission was in fact a REAL mission to go to the moon. The FIRST real mission mind you, but still, they gave it an attempt. They didn't know every little aspect of space, like the Russians did either. It's just that the Russians didn't think it was possible to go to the moon, due to the Van Allan radiation belt ( http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/sci/A0850404.html ) The Americans set out to go through this radiation belt and the rest is.... history?

    Okay, okay, it wasn't a saint. He was just a really kind guy with the ability to make a difference.

    I'm sure that those guys were not praying AT ALL. They were probably just thinking, "Man, I can't WAIT for Houston to come up with a solution for this little misshap, heh, they'll come up with something.... Houston... come in... Houston.... Hello?

    Does anybody remember what hapened? They lost contact for a while. If you care, then think about this really. You're a guy in space, right, and a major problem comes up, for which you have no training. Come on folks. I know when people get onboard an airplane, the thing that they do most is pray. Maybe they are not trying, but they do it. They do it, and so do we.

    Ask the guys that were on Apollo13 if they prayed to Houston, or to some sort of an idea of God. Ask them, and then ask yourself, if it was really duct-tape that saved their lives, or something special. If you look over the facts (which are probably highly classified) You'll probably come to the conclusion: "Holy shit! These guys got really lucky!"
