As a contribution to the actual discussion, I seriously doubt that the universe ever ends up branching, as that would mean energy being created out of nothing..
I invented ice though. I took out a patent on it - "Organising water molecules into a solid crystelline structure by means of a phase shift generally occurring at zero degrees celcius". Speak to Chantelle in the patent office if you have any bones with that. Chantelle had a bone or 2 over it, believe me >_>
As the other guy said, I'm saying that most programming on TV sucks. I refer to TV as the pre-programmed stuff you watch on TV. I sometimes watch DVDs on a TV, also have watched a lot on my laptop too. There is just so much garbage on TV..
In what way does it 'work the best'? I used 98 until a game I bought required XP. Then I got fed up of XP and started using Linux on my desktop (these days however I jus use my work laptop for everything, so it's XP all the time:P )
"they could give two shits about" shows that they obviously could give something. Couldn't give a shit signifies that they don't care at all. FFS America! >.
Obviously telling people to go fuck themselves is bad, but liking certain football teams isn't especially. If you go around parts of America or the UK wearing the wrong colours (either gang associated or sports team associated) then you are likely to get yourself into quite a spot of bother.
I know a lot of Europeans speak English, again devil's advocate (though a lot of them may only have a little or very rusty English if you venture from the beaten track).
I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to watch whole shows at youtube quality if I could just buy a DVD (which is what I do.. I don't tend to watch TV as it generally is a complete waste of time).
But, the thing is that while I realise they do have their distinguishing features, they do claim to be states rather than countries, and with most of them, there is no point in knowing the difference because their cultures and language are so similar (with the exception of accents). If you're travelling in Europe then it is helpful to know which language people speak and learn a bit about their culture before travelling there. In some cultures, showing people the sole of your foot is considered a serious insult.. in America, the worst faux pax you are likely to commit is liking the wrong sports team. I guess I'm playing devil's advocate here just because I didn't like the attitude of the original post..
The type of people who go and spend an evening watching Who Wants to be a Millionaire, or even those who just sit at home and watch TV all night, or just watch that show because they hope to someday be able to slack off and be a lazy jobless millionaire, aren't the 'general population', though they will comprise a significant chunk I guess. I don't even remember there being an ask the audience in there, guess I was too gobsmacked that he didn't just know it was the moon straight away.
Why would we even want to know where all 50 states are? Knowing that they are in America is enough for most purposes. Knowing their exact location is like asking you to know all the different districts in the UK, rather than knowing where an actual country is.
As for your Who wants to be a Millionaire video... what's your point?
More importantly, how do you find a trusted CPU? Is there some sequence of floating point operations that will disable page checking (or whatever) in an Intel processor?:P
Slashdot Mirror
Damnit.

Meh, you're one of them open source nuts.. aintcha? =_= *pokes carefully with a stick*

70% funny, 30% over-rated. We now know the percentage of readers dumb enough to use misheard phrases without thinking about what they are saying.

I wonder if anyone's ever tried 'cancel'.. I'm guessing that doing so would cause the machine to hang.
No, cleave is a single word with multiple meanings. Could is a word meaning could. It's like saying 0 > 1.
I did in fact take my medicine this morning.

Would be more 'chicken eat you!' if you want to do it right.
Couldn't. COULDN'T DAMNIT!!! Will someone please explain logic to the world!!!?!?!? Aieeee!!
"None of those cultures are in Europe"
Try Hungary.

In Soviet Russia, Ostrich is really dumb dinosaur! Taste like chicken!
I hope they filter all those clicks before they dump them in the landfill. Can you imagine the mess 200 terabytes of raw clicks would make?
Oh fine.. well.. EVERYONE has telnet - get to a MUD and have at it!

Wait a second.. what if.. you can't trust YOURSELF?
He might have to try a few times - I've heard the select buttons on F18s tend to wear out quite quickly
