Racism is obviously not limited to the real world. It becomes clear if you read forum threads, play World of WarCraft, chess with avatars on Yahoo and whatnot. Our picture of a black or white dude doesn't change just because we enter a virtual world. After all, that's exactly why movies use shady-looking guys as villains, because we all know what that guy looks like. If we met this person in real life, we would - at least subconsciously - perceive him as a less-than-good person because of what he or she looks like.
Is frustrating, oh no its only accurate for 150million years. JUST WAIT for the ID people to jump all over this and start with the whole dinosaurs didnt exist, invisible man made everything 5000years ago. *sighs* these people live in my neighborhood and are going to harass me with their ignorance again.
I realize that you're somewhat frustrated, but this does not prove science wrong. After all, that's what science is all about. You make a discovery and you prove it. Eventually, the discovery is disproved/adjusted/strenghtened due to new findings. And again, and again, and again.

If I'm correct, no collisions have taken place yet.
I seriously doubt that humans were holding on to each other for lifetimes before the dawn of religions. After all, the whole idea of staying together forever and ever is all taken from a few books that people wrote hundreds of years ago.
Let's say that we go 10,000 years back. Why would a man not screw around as much as possible? And if love existed, who's to say that it lasted for long periods? I remember reading an article that stated that "love" is a chemical reaction that lasts roughly six months, given or take a couple of months. I guess it's enough time to bond and mate.
Maybe this "monogamy gene" relates to something totally different, but has altered effects because of traditions that have grown with religions?
Now if we could only manage to register the infinite remaining possible Gustav domains (ex: gustav-donations.org), we should be all set.
Ultimately, it's not so much about scammers' methods but rather the fact that people give money to questionable organizations. Every time I've donated money, I've always done it through well known organizations.
It's below sea level in one of the most hurricane prone places on earth. Why are rebuilding and living there?
Make it an industrial zone and be done with it. Use the money to permanently relocate the population, not rebuild their soon-to-be blown away homes again.
Although New Orleans had its share of tough hurricanes, Katrina was the first big one that turned it into the costliest hurricane in US history. It was also ranked the sixth strongest hurricane to hit the US.
Your comment is insightful, but I'd only argue like this if this troubled area was hit by hurricanes more frequently than it currently is. Forcing people to leave their homes is more than just a material loss. There's history, lost ones and more.
At the same time, you could easily use this argument for places like Tokyo and other areas that are and will be struck by tremendous earthquakes.
I don't get people who show any sort of devotion to a GPU manufacturer. I just don't.
It's just like buying a car, being satisfied with the purchase and put the car maker in favor of others when you consider your next purchase. I hate car analogies, but this one fits.
On the other hand, there are different levels of devotion. Some people explicitly hate one of the companies and favor their products even when it is not maintaining a lead. That kind of devotion is just silly, unless you have an uncle employed there.
There are ion-cooling techniques which require no moving parts to get the air flowing, but even better than that are the Atom-style processors which can be designed to not need active cooling. I wait for the day that my passively cooled, SSD laptop arrives.
Absolutely, I know of many techniques that provide for fanless solutions. Unfortunately, they are either too expensive, not efficient enough or simply too big. I call for a solution that tackles all three problems.
It is good to see that the typical computer is closer to getting rid of moving parts. Currently we have HDDs, CD/DVD/BR/HDDVD players and fans. We know that the SSDs are replacing the HDDs and that the players will be wiped out by the internet, wireless and memory sticks. Now we just need something feasible to replace the damn fans to get the first true consumer notebook with no moving parts.
Users running Windows 9x who are connected to the internet already have so much spyware and viruses that running an unsupported version of Firefox won't be much of a problem in comparision.
I am running Windows 98 and I have no problems with spyware. What the hell are you talking about?

Why should taxpayers underwrite their government becoming enforcers for the entertainment industry? Then again, when you see how much politicians are being paid, an answer suggests itself.
Because the entertainment industry claims that laws are broken. Having said that, it's more of a question about what's fair use and what's not.
Aside from using the logotype (which, in my opinion, was listed as 'fair use'), what exactly did the IOC plan to do with this? And why are they following China's commie propaganda?
The first Fusion processor is code-named Shrike, which will, if our sources are right, consist of a dual-core Phenom CPU and an ATI RV800 GPU core. This news is actually a big surprise, as Shrike was originally rumored to debut as a combination of a dual-core Kuma CPU and a RV710-based graphics unit.
And just because you don't care about this news does not mean that everybody else will agree with you.
I sincerely hope that the Olympic Committee doesn't think this is a major success. As long as China remains blocking web sites and other types of censorship, they should be banned from ever setting up the Olympic Games while such governing is taking place.
I'm looking forward to the Olympic Games in North Korea 2012. Apparently, Kim Jong Il is expected to beat 52 world records.
In that case, I suggest that you install one of the first Linux dists and see how much you are willing to forgive and forget. That kind of thinking is just silly as everything sucks at some point, which is why improvements are being made.
Midori is going to be coded to crash at least once every 24 hours to ease regular Windows users into this "new" technology. Other than that, it's the same.
Oh, shut up already. These jokes are getting old and redundant. My Windows XP has not crashed a single time in months. Windows is no longer associated with BSOD.
As for the thin client claim, yes, this is the exact same thing and the post you replied to is also a bit redundant in its tone. Let's discuss the implications of Microsoft's move instead of bitching about things you don't know.
If you're not in a rush to get one of the Atom/Nano based computers, wait for the next generation. Although both CPU:s are excellent in performance, the next iterations will bring two cores and far better efficiency.
The first generation of any product line is usually fairly rushed and experimental. That does not mean the product itself is bad, but we should expect a big jump from the next generation.
You know that as soon as some really unbreakable OSS project takes the place of skype, someone will jump up and claim that OSS is promoting terrorism since it keeps the feds from snooping at you?
But how will they stop open source? If the feds pulled a move like that, it would be pretty much like the DRM case, where the music industry does so much to prevent us from using non-DRM. Ultimately, however, it will never succeed because they will always be outmanned.
Using Tom Cruise as an example is a poor one. Of course the super celebrities get in without any hurdles. The people that are harder to keep track on is the people "behind the scenes". A lot of sound techies, video techies and crew are invited as well.
Actually, the news item made it sound like Amazon went back to the 90's thinking. My point was that there are ways of doing this in a really good way. I also provided Apple as a good example of this.
You say I am an Apple fan boy, but I really am not. In fact, I really dislike the iPhone and I can't stand OSX. Just because I point to Apple doesn't mean that I praise them.

Correct. That will happen later this month.

Amazingly, this silly problem is solved as soon as soon as they implement widescreen texting like the one in the browser.

Just take a flight and you'll notice that the earth is round. I'd love to see the Flat Earth believers explain that.
