If the love interest was to reach the women you wouldn't have movies like Entrapment, where the gorgeous young Catherine Zeta-Jones falls for some fossilized old guy like Sean Connery, since we all know that could never happen in real life.
Stuff like stereo and SAP are good, but barely used
SAP is used all the time here (Costa Rica). In fact, the thing that pisses me off the most about the VCR I bought is that the primary sound channel bleeds in when using SAP. My TV doesn't have that problem, so I can watch live TV just fine, but recording, say, The Simpsons, results in the very weird experience of hearing Homer speak in English while simultaneously whispering in Spanish.
It's much worse than that. A large clump of Slashdot posters, presumably more intelligent than the average Joe, seem ignorant of the differences between you're and your, it's and its, there and their, me and I, and punctuation in general.
I'm aware of the argument that the purpose of writing is communcation, and if the message is understood then the rest is unimportant. It seems to me that attitude is akin to a programmer hacking something together until it compiles and appears to work, and considering it a job well done.
You did warn them, so you can't be held responsible
There's some fine logic. As long as you warn them you can do whatever you want? Why not put a bomb in there? Just label the box and you're off the hook. I also understand that was O.J. Simpson's back-up defense; if the "if it doesn't fit, you must acquit" stuff didn't work, they were going to say that O.J. warned them before he stabbed them 43 times, so he wasn't responsible.

t would only be so to anyone BUT yourself. To me, this is alomst like the scientific proof of something similar to a soul.
What you say would be true about anything that was self-aware. So then you are simply equating self-awareness with (something similar to) a soul.

Duh. He wasn't asking about permutations in general, he was asking what the reason was for doing it with this guy's name.
I don't know why they decided to call these people trolls...
The term was originally the verb to troll, as in trailing a net behind a boat, ensnaring whatever fish happens by. Because of the coincidence of the name for the bridge-dwelling sub-human mythical creatures, trollers came to be called trolls. My guess is this was out of ignorance, not cleverness.
Mir's gyrodines, used to control the station's attitude, will be turned off on Feb. 10...
Note: i think they meant to say altitude not attitude in the story...
So then you think they will be turning off the altitude?

How would it compare to some things with which you've had bad success?
If the love interest was to reach the women you wouldn't have movies like Entrapment, where the gorgeous young Catherine Zeta-Jones falls for some fossilized old guy like Sean Connery, since we all know that could never happen in real life.
That's gotta be a troll.
Whaddaya mean? Surely some people do. I've got one right here, in fact.
Up until the bonus round, when he missed a couple and had to settle for some lovely parting gifts.

But later it was changed to "The Professor and Mary Ann."
Where'd you get that definition? Why in the world would desire have to be unlimited for it to qualify as economics?
A hot water heater? Well, if the water's already hot of course it'd be inexpensive to run. Now a plain old water heater might be a different story.
the logic of not turning off a computer is to avoid the jolt at startup. This is not to save electricity, it is to reduce wear and tear.
Rhymes with what?
