Uh... this is news? Any good businessman always watches the competition and tries to estimate how many customers might switchover. That's not "fear". That's just good old commonsense.
It's news because people forget. Remember when it was found out that the mailed anthrax came from the US's own gov labs? People have already forgotten that too. People need to be reminded of the monopolistic software prison they live in. They don't have to use Windows, and there is better software out there.
I suppose that most atheists would probably be willing to become theists if they were presented proof of a god, but that's not the same thing as waiting for a god or gods to appear.
I guess it depends on how vague or specific you are on the word "appear". I know a lot of people would find a god appearing (becoming visible in a visual sense or coming before the public according to the dictionary) More than enough scientific proof to stop questioning the existence. I'm just saying this to show that, especially in the United States, the word atheism has evolved in a much darker definition.
In the same way that asexuality refers to the lack of sexuality or sexual attraction in a species, atheism is that to theism in belief of gods. Asexuality is not celibacy.
I'm all for science, cause I believe that if our understanding of science was ever to become good enough that we actually could prove/disprove Gods existance, all you atheists would be in for a surprise.
The fact that you have a thought process that says, "Here's a completely unsupported idea - disprove it people! If you can't my unsupported idea is true," shows that you are, in fact, not supportive of science at all. Do you believe in people being abducted by little green men? No? If your logical reason is lack of proof (and personal opinions are not logical reasons), then you are a hypocrite. Please understand what kind of joke makes you, along with anyone else who thinks like this, look like. A hypocrite.
Also, the last time I checked, your god is losing ground on "supposedly" his own words, especially within the last 100 years. Religion dissolving and people losing parts of their core belief system and religious cherry-picking is proof of that. Science is replacing god's place more and more, year after year. If your god really "loves" you then he will wake the fuck up and replace some science with himself. The atheists are waiting.
The simple approach to theism (and atheism for that matter) is not only ignorant but also breeds bias and prejudice that is unfounded.
It's ignorant to lack belief in a god(s)?
Most atheists out there are waiting for the gods to come out from hiding. I promise you that they aren't ignorant. One thing you seem to misunderstand is that there is no "approach" to atheism. It is what you are when you don't follow a theistic religion. How can one not believe in god(s) and also not lack that same belief? I guess my question to you is - is there anyone who isn't ignorant? Your statement very much says everyone is no matter what.
Mammoths? Correct me if I'm wrong, but you still need a live animal in order to clone a dead one. I guess they can grow them in an elephant or another close cousin, is that the idea?
Yep, if the person who submitted the article actually read it, it says due to the fact that there are no known living cells from a woolly mammoth its not possible as of now, and a miniscule possibility in the future.
"However, it has been suggested that the 'resurrection' of frozen extinct species (such as the woolly mammoth) is impracticable, as no live cells are available, and the genomic material that remains is inevitably degraded," they said.
I know TRON was used in many japanese devices and still is used even today. The big difference between TRON and TRON and RtLinux is microseconds over milliseconds. About 5 years ago they finally "joined forces".
I wonder what the suggested number of used OSs is when comparing the 2..
I think Pog Ramming is a new sex position that Balmer invented with his wife. He makes her bend over a chair and makes sum luvin' doggy-style; shortly thereafter he tosses her across the room. There is a story that goes around that says that Balmer is quite loud when he finishes, to quote exactly what he screams out like a pig: "I LOVE THIS COMPANY!"
They know what GNU is, or at least use it by name. That's really the biggest story here.
You mean everyone doesn't use Ubuntu or PCLinuxOS? GNU? Whoever made this "Nuu" operating system probably copied Ubuntu. </newbie ubuntu user stereotype>
This is a well-distributed application (v5.3) on bittorrent. And you wonder which disassembler they used to fix it hehe:-P I've used it myself and it's amazing how many different processors are supported and the plugins that are made for them. A few I know of are the C decompiler plugin and the BinDiff plugin (helpful if you are interested in finding the main changes between an original and cracked app.) But of course you have to have enough free cash to buy the product and plugins because no one here would ever cheat or steal, right?
Yeah I know I was being a little bitch:) I think there has to be another technique of dealing with precompiled binaries in an organized fashion. I actually am happy that Linux is reaching a point where it "just works" - it just frustrates me at times when "it doesn't work" and I have to fix the issue. The last thing I can think of is I had to help someone out with getting their broadcom ucode installed. the binary package from the repository wasnt working, so i just gave him a shell script that took care of everything and did the dirty work. I had to upload a binary of b43-cutter though for him to grab via curl.
But yes, i do admit being harsh and unfair in this post. perhaps i made this because my day is starting shitty, who knows:-P someone mod this person up.
fyi to compare specs i reach the kdm login screen with wireless ip address found in 6-7 seconds with a dell latitude d420 (1.2ghz core 1 duo, 1 gig of memory).
Because Ubuntu uses generic kernel builds and starts up unneeded shit at boot time. You also have frontend apps for a lot of apps that don't really need it - that can explain the reason the memory is being eaten up. Suggestions? Learn how to compile a kernel, or use a distribution that doesn't have a list of memory eating apps specific to itself, like Slackware for example. I've never had issues with it, and I've gotten the kernel to finish booting in 6-7 seconds with only the device support and services i only need.
Yeah I know - all these new Linux users don't like Slackware. It's so.. Linux like, and not Windows like. Perhaps Ubuntu can work on optimization and take care of the problem.
And at 12.1" I'm not sure it qualifies as a NetBook. This is the same size as the old iBooks and only slightly smaller than a MacBook. They're fairly small laptops, but I'd expect a NetBook to be a lot more portable.
I wonder if my 12.1" Dell Latitude D420 is a netbook as well. I has a 1.8" hard drive just live the Mini 12. It has the extra mini pci-e slot for 3G (it even refers to it as the slot for the 3G device in Dell's shitty BIOS). Really - other than the atom processor and the GMA500 (D420 has the 64 bit restricted intel core 1 duo and a shitty GMA950) its the same... wait... Oh yeah - I don't run Vista on it.
But theres a significant drawback to Poulsbo, and its one that will certainly cruel the Inspiron Mini 12s appeal to many "power users". The chipset supports a maximum 1GB of RAM. Wait, this is supposed to run Vista right? heh. Running Linux and Mac OS X on my Latitude D420 (that hasa 2.5 gigs of memory) does enough for me.

Why is this modded down? Okay, so this doesn't answer the question directly but it definitely is a solution to running an anti-virus program. Personally I think Microsoft should be the ones securing their own operating system instead of some third party developer. But anyway, trying out a different operating system and (only when extremely necessary) run a Windows app through VMware Fusion. I've shown alot of computer-illiterate Windows users Mac OS X, and once they got the hang of it and its simplicity - they preferred that over the slow unstable Windows OS any day. So mods please mod the parent up - it's a legit solution to the issue.
Remembering where files that you last accessed or other forms of this type of organization shouldn't be part of the filesystem at all. It will only make things go slower. If the main problem here is that people don't remember where they saved their files (a la PEBKAC) then there should be something that should be mandatory for open file dialogs (in gnome(gtk2) or kde(qt3/4) - a recently accessed file tab. Hell, if you want, you can even have it remember all files that were last accessed in a small db if you want to make it desktop environment-wide for all programs to access instead of only finding the files accessed by that specific app, but i think that would be overkill.
Anyways. Shittleworth should remember what the Linux kernel is, and that it shouldn't be designed around stupid peoples preferences. (yes, i've been using Linux since the mid 90s so I'm no anti-gpl troll). Nepomuk is an interesting project to check out. As for making a filesystem that does all this stuff by itself - not worth it.
One time I bought this handheld game for 50 cents at a garage sale - it had the same oscilloscope screen, and for some reason i think it was a soccer game - I was 9 at the time.

One day, I was window shopping Dell's web site for a Mini 9 (Inspiron 910), setting up a tricked-out system. Was this a mistake, or a "mistake"?
It's a mistake to expect a "tricked-out system" from an Inspiron 910. Just my opinion. :-P
Bah!! Everyone knows that Jeebus' daddy made this to trick the stupid scientists!
Mammoths? Correct me if I'm wrong, but you still need a live animal in order to clone a dead one. I guess they can grow them in an elephant or another close cousin, is that the idea?
