How am I gonna keep playing Ronaldinho with my cell phone if it has a hard drive in it?
Right now I can act as if my cell phone was some kind of ball, because it hardly has any mobile component, I don't want my cell phone to become some fragile thing that might stop working if i don't take care of it. Actually, I wouldn't want either to have a hard drive based MP3 player, can't trust a hard disk in a mobile device, other than a laptop (no one's gonna play soccer with a laptop after all)
"12. Until the 1940s rhubarb was considered a vegetable. It became a fruit when US customs officials, baffled by the foreign food, decided it should be classified according to the way it was eaten."
Funny, but pretty much the same goes for bananas. They are considered fruits, as they really are vegetables (and africans consider them as such, according to what I heard)
"I remember seeing the videotape Bin Laden originally released in 2001 celebrating the effectiveness of the original attacks. I did a quick search for it and came up with something else instead, a reference to a tape he released shortly before the 2004 US Presidential elections."
lol, but don't you understand, these are not interviews, but videos, videos sent to his enemies, al-Jazeera. Didn't you notice how al-Jazeera based their success on these videos. Tell me, who gave a fuck about al-Jazeera before these videos? And now, they have become a reference kind of like CNN with the Gulf War. The inconsistency between what he says in those videos and what he says in interviews with actual journalists make me think that either videos or either interviews are fake.
Let's see, which are the most likely to be fake, face-to-face interviews with actual journalists, or videos broadcasted by people who hate him since the early 90's? (al-Saud, one of the two founders of al-Jazeera is very well known for hating him since then).
Specifically, he said about President Bush and the September 11 attacks: "It never occurred that the highest leader of the military armed forces would leave 50,000 people to face the horror that they faced all by themselves when they needed him most... He was more interested in listening to the child's story about the goat rather than worry about what was happening to the towers. So, that gave us double the time for us to execute our attacks."
lol, and? is it an evidence of authenticity? I heared the same kind of shit in the 4th season of 24. Plus, you may find sites that compare his appearance in videos which conclude that it can't be him, because of different face features. OK, the video quality is usually bad anyways, so may be it's not the absolute evidence, but the inconsistencies between the interviews and the videos can make you reasonably doubt the authencity of these, mostly when you know how mysteriously they appear on a channel created by pro-americans.
An integrist muslim swearing on his faith that he has not done it, and at the same time in videos claiming he has done it, does it really make sence?
well you see, I really don't care. I replied to his post, period. I was gonna read his other posts cuz I got other shit to do. When you read someone's reply, you don't assume they read all your other posts, you only assume that the person read the post they replied too.
upper part? how is it gonna be the upper part as the comment in which he mentions the black sea is a reply to the same comment I was replying to. Do you look for replies to the comment you want to reply to by the same user who made the comment you want to reply to before you make your comment? I just read his comment and replied to it, quit acting like I did something wrong, I didn't, he did when he considered that I was supposed to know that he lived near the black sea.
i'm not supposed to read all of the 24 last comments he posted before i reply to one of his comments, am i??
I'm french *beep, bad answer*. Blame France. Hadn't paid attention to the Black Sea thing.
Why didn't I remember that Black Sea thing? Oh, I know! Maybe because you DID NOT mention it in the post I replied to, but in some other post that i just read that has nothing to do with it. Instead of treating me like a stupid muthafucka, make sure you ain't the stupid muthafucka, check which post I'm replying to
"you're native to someplace in the US eh?"
near, about 3,500 miles to the east.
"Only native US'ies would assume that China is in Europe"
man, americans ain't as dumb as you may think. I feel insulted for them. And I didn't assume China was in Europe, since you didn't talk about the black sea even once in the post I replied to.
"And don't forget, just a few years ago, who would have counted on the success of the Firefox browser?"
It's not the same thing. Firefox was made by Mozilla, who made Netscape, IE's past only concurrent. "Firefox vs. IE" is the same "Mozilla vs. Microsoft" that's been on since the first release of Internet Explorer. here, MS's rival only re-bore from its hashes under a new name.
I have the feeling again when reading the article that the accent is on how Hubble can help scientist make discoveries, in order to show that Hubble is more usefull than often thought, and that thus we have to "save" it. Maybe just a feeling tho..
You can find out the best layout in the world, it just won't work, I think the reason is obvious. Most people won't wanna marginalize themselves having a keyboard layout that nobody has. Plus, countless software really on the QWERTY layout for having ergonomic keys and shortcuts. I got an AZERTY keyboard and I can tell, when some game expects the A, S, D and W keys to work like arrow, it's a pain in the ass! Just imagine how it would be like with an alphabetical layout.
It's like a monopoly, the QWERTY monopoly, and one could say "You don't get fired for buying QWERTY", because absolutly everybody uses it.
"All hard drives die. Do you think there's one magic brand that never breaks? They all do."
Not if they don't get to be used long enough to die. I got a 10 year old Macintosh (with a 500 MB IBM drive I think), used it quite alot for 8 years, hard disk still alive. And it will never die, because i'm not gonna use it any more. You see, some hard disks don't die
/. need to mirror any page it links to in article, in case the page in question gets/.ed to death, because it's really annoying to see an article that interests you and the main link has been slashdotted to death, and if you want to know what it really was about, you gotta rely on people's comments, provided that the link hasn't been google chached
Yes. He claims in one of his interviews for the Ummat (you'll easily find it on google by typing "ummat bin laden interview") the following:
"I have already said that I am not involved in the September 11 attacks in the United States. As a Muslim, I try my best to avoid telling a lie. I had no knowledge of these attacks, nor do I consider the killing of innocent women, children and other human beings as an appreciable act. Islam strictly forbids causing harm to innocent women, children and other people. Such a practice is forbidden even in the course of battle. It is the United States which is perpetrating every sort of maltreatment on women, children and common people of other faiths, particularly the followers of Islam."
Terrorists usually like to claim what's theirs, and usually when they say they deny an attack it means they have nothing to do with it. The fact that he claims in interviews that he has nothing to do with it and that he claims in videos that he had to do with it still make the authenticity of his videos doubtfull i guess
OK, that's a bit weak, but you see, from over one year ago till yesterday, I thought that bin Laden had never talked about al-Qaeda in his interviews, and thus that all "his" videos were fake since "he" was talking about al-Qaeda in them, but I wonder how I could think that, because I just looked at some of his interviews and realized he talks about that, although not in pre-9/11 interviews, which makes me keep thinking that al-Qaeda was a made-up term and that he picked it up, although i'm not sure of anything anymore now:-)
Because of you I realized that my main conspiracy theory is slightly disfunctional. Damn, I need a working one now, particularly for the "all his videos are fake" part.

Their webcam :-P ;-)
oh yeah, funny, I had never heard of that classification. I'm too ignorant to tell in which would bananas would fit, nor rhubarb
lol. only 36%? Only the British could write such a thing!
Btw, some of these facts could have been known more than one year ago... the title is weird

I was desesperating to hear you to respond :-)

More women online == more people to cyber with!
You weirdos
i'm not supposed to read all of the 24 last comments he posted before i reply to one of his comments, am i??
OK, more a wish than a prediction
What will the genetic Hello World! be like?
The video won't load. That's the Slashdot effect I guess. Thank you the Slashdot effect
haha thank you anonymous coward. merry xmas to you too

Reminds me of another fact about trees, under some circumstances, some forests release more carbon than they absorb.
I wish you made it clearer which country you're from. Is it China?

Can you point me to those interviews please?

The problem with that is the Mac version of IE was much better than the Windows version.
