When a large anus is opened with INV_TONGUE (and not INV_COCK), the data read from the descriptor will now reflect a "snapshot" of the large object's shit at time of the transaction snapshot in use by the query that called lo_open().
Many large corporations have massive amounts of data stored in system backed by Ingres databases. This is often very important data, and cannot be corrupted.
While a system like PostgreSQL is often more than capable, in a technical sense, it may not offer the 100% compatibility that is needed by serious users. Thus it is often not an option.
Is it all wrong? Most likely not. After all, we don't even know much about this supposed device at this point. We can't go forth and deem theories incorrect at this time.
Was the past funding a waste of money? Very doubtful. We have fiber optics thanks to such research, for instance.
Creationism is not scientific because it does not involve the scientific methodology. Like you said, it is based on historical claims rather than theory, experiment and observation. As such it should not be taught in a science class, much like science does not belong in a religion class. They are two separate beasts, and it is best not to confuse them.
New theories would come eventually. It would be premature to come up with new theories before spending much time investigating this device, which may potentially be one of the most innovative creations in decades (if not centuries).
It's not often that a technology is discovered that could completely throw aside years of scientific theory.
Indeed, suppose for a moment that this development does contradict various theories. If true science is being practised, then that would require the theories found to be faulty to either be reworked, or rejected.
But science is never that clear-cut. Politics always gets in the way. Many people have invested many years and much effort into such (potentially faulty) theories, and they won't give up easily.
We may even see a new schism form, but within the scientific community. It wouldn't be a matter of just differing theories. It could potentially be another evolution/intelligent design situation.
Indeed, we may only get a partial scientific revolution. There will be those who admit their theories were wrong, and then those who do not. Things could get very interesting, especially when large amounts of funding are involved.
Theories are just that: theories. It's perfectly fine to disprove them. In fact, that's what science is all about.
If the current theories are shown to be inadequate or flat out wrong, then that's just how it is. It'll be up to scientists to create new, better theories that take into account this development.
There's more than enough to suggest that it was your own government that was responsible, not some "Islamic fundamentalists".
It'd take too long to get into here, but go do some research. Look into the numerous anomalies spouted by your government and your mass media. I imagine you'll dismiss them. But of course, any true American who does some real research will soon become aware that something just isn't right with the "official" story and Keane Commission whitewash. There are too many dots that just do not connect as they should.
They wouldn't be rejecting the prize. They'd be putting the prize to a far better use. Money spent on a medal that'll sit on some bookshelf or mantle is wasted. Money spent to promote innovation is not wasted.
Indeed. The US was almost completely unharmed by WWII. That's why they became the superpower that they are today.
Structurally, Europe, Russia and Asia were devastated. The loss of American life in the WWII is estimated at approximately 0.42 million or so. Meanwhile, you have the Soviets losing 23 million. Germany lost around 7.5 million. For every 1000 people, the US lost about 3, the Soviets 136, and the Germans 107. On the Asian front, Japan lost about 2.6 million people, or approximately 33 for every 1000 of their population.
When compared to what other nations suffered in WWII, the US received a minor pinprick.
What stance does suso webhosting take on pro-Republican websites? Do you, as a host of content, actively remove Republican propaganda from your servers?
My penis weeps for you, because you try to read too much into this. Google is doing it solely to get more hits to their site, as well as provide incentive to move people away from Internet Explorer. There's nothing more to it than that.
Sure it is. Remember, the wars you guys are involved in are taking place on the other side of the world from you! You know, in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Things are very peaceful for you, since you're isolated away from all of the fighting itself. No warring is actually taking place in the United States.
It would be very noble of them to turn down the medals. Instead they should request that the money that would have been spent on the medals themselves, and any additional monetary award, be used towards the formation of an annual Nobel Prize-style award. The recipient could be an individual who has made a major contribution to computer networking.
Everybody in the field knows (or should know) that they are amongst the Gods of the Internet. Their fame has peaked. That is why it would be very sportsmanlike of them to help highlight the achievements of others in their field.
Nobody said that GNOME completely lacked i18n support, as you appear to be suggesting.
What was clearly stated was that relative to KDE, the support of GNOME is inferior. The GNOME translations do not have the same high quality of the KDE translations, for instance. But that's not surprising, considered that GNOME is mainly developed by American developers working for American companies, while KDE is a far more international effort (with a bulk of the work being done in Europe and Asia).
Please try to read the posts before you respond to them with factually incorrect information.
I was recently talking to a Japanese colleague. He was describing how he ran into all sorts of problems using GNOME on FC4. I recommended that he ditch Fedora, and try Kubuntu 5.10. So he did, and he was quite surprised by how well it worked.
But when you consider how KDE was born in Europe, and now heavily developed in Europe and Asia, it's not surprising that it has such fantastic support for non-English languages.
Can you provide us with some screenshots showing the problems that you speak of? Perhaps you managed to botch your installation somehow.
If you're using Kubuntu 5.10, check the K -> System Settings -> Appearance configuration panel. Notice the "GTK styles and fonts" portion. It allows you to easily set your GTK style and fonts to those used by KDE. And it works fine for every GNOME/GTK+ app that I use.
KDE is most widely used in Europe and Asia, due to its excellent support for non-English i18n, l12n and l12y. Relative to KDE, GNOME's support is lacking in those areas.
Remember, the European and Asian markets are huge today, and they're growing stronger as we speak. For such a new project, Kubuntu has a large following of very devoted users.
You're the only one suggesting the idea that *nix servers are immune to problems.
But then again, let's consider what this company is doing. They're offering a web-based service. One would think that they're capable of setting up a server, regardless of the operating system, that can handle a fairly significant load. And in all fairness, a Slashdotting is not a large load in the whole scheme of things. They're lucky they didn't make the front page of the BBC or New York Times sites!
No, you missed the point. And that is that no hacking of an individual's computer needs to be done when using a centralized service such as this. Only one server needs to be compromised for the data of potentially millions upon millions of individuals to be stolen.
And there's nothing wrong with storing sensitive data on a computer. You just have to do it sensibly. Often times that means making sure that physical access to the machine is limited. Running a secure operating system such as OpenBSD also helps. And one thing you do not do is use a service that removes your control over such things.
Indeed, this sort of racing can be very dangerous. Perhaps that's why it is such a thrill for participants and the racers.
I recall watching one of these races sometime in the 1940s. Even using relatively primitive technology, some the participants were able to build cars that were quite fast. Unfortunately, I also witnessed a rather gruesome accident.
As anyone who has seen one of the races knows, the participants start at the top of a hill and race downwards. Now, along the track hill there were a number of trees. This poor fellow got going very fast, but somehow lost control about 3/4 of the way down the hill. His car veered towards a tree, and he wasn't able to get out in time.
Indeed, he hit the tree, and his car was demolished. Unfortunately for him, the tree went right between his legs, and violently damaged his genitals. The races were quickly cancelled, and the paramedics arrived.
While I didn't actually see him after his accident, I talked to some of the men who had helped him out. They were completely thrown aback by the injuries he had sustained to his manhood. One of them even threw up he was so disgusted by what he had seen.
I hope that these days they're taking more care to make the vehicles safe, or at least race them in safer areas.

Compatibility.
Many large corporations have massive amounts of data stored in system backed by Ingres databases. This is often very important data, and cannot be corrupted.

Pardon? I'm not sure what Jewish people and Mossad have to do with this. Why do you bring your anti-Semitic hatred into our discussion?
