Now, on top of the OS license cost, the user must purchase a CD burner ($50), a browser($30), an archiver($30 for Winzip), an FTP client($40 CuteFTP c4.2), etc etc etc.
Further, the "so many ways" that data can be [en|de]coded is actually infinite.
Just a pedantic quibble here, but infinity is significantly more than 2 to the power of 6731988480. Just because my calculator can't handle it doesn't make it infinite.
Be cool if I could back 100 gigs up to a CD with infinite (-100 gigs) room to spare.
Win2k is the best OS MS ever did, and it's the first time I am not missing my old amiga's OS.
Well, I guess since I bypassed all of MS earlier attempts at an operating system when I moved from Amiga (and still emulate one). I still know what features to miss, and I miss them still (especially every time I have to rebuild my Windows system, there doesn't seem to be a "set echo on" for windows install "scripts").
I've found Google is generally pretty lousy for searching porn. Maybe someone a hundred messages up already said it (I can't sanely read that far) but I'd like to see something that hunts down the seedy bits of the net. Bonus points for stripping out all javascript and ads and such. Not that it'll work for long since those people will start blocking google. Oh well.:-)
5. Why would creatures evolve to sexually reproduce instead of just developing an ability to copy themselves?
Because in simple terms it stirs up the DNA so natural selection can do its thing at a faster rate, hence leaving other creatures in the dust evolution wise.
Of course it could also be proof of a god, god wants us happy, god wants us to boink each other and get off on it.:-)
10. If humans evolved from monkeys, then why do monkeys still exist? It can't be because the monkeys diverged; since then the species of monkey that is alive today would have had to reverse its evolutionary development in order to become what it was then, now.
No, it'd just have to evolve in its own direction, which is pretty easy. Easier still since monkeys don't have guns. I expect humans to die off first. Proving monkeys to be far superior to us, by us naturally deselecting ourselves.:-)
15. Why are there many languages? If people evolved, wouldn't they all communicate the same? Why would they want segregation? Would you want to abandon English and go make up your own language?
Okay, lets just assume that English was the first language and that all humans are telepathically bound, even over 4000+ miles so that such dumping of old languages would be difficult do.
16. What's the purpose of life if people just die and then that's it? Also, sex is for reproduction, and what's the point of reproduction if the produced living beings have no point of existence?
The point of reproduction is sex.:-)
Which proves God, which seems to be who you were trolling for anyways, since the questions got really silly towards the end. God loves funny people.
Most thinking people will agree that--
1. A highly ordered universe exists.
2. At least one planet in this complex universe contains an amazing variety of life forms.
3. Man appears to be the most advanced form of life on this planet.
I disagree on 1 and 3 rather strongly. And I think quite a bit.
Slashdot Mirror
Made sure the AGP driving value is set right?
I had graphics freezing problems until I tweaked that setting, and got rid of some slow RAM in favor of some CAS2 Century stuff.
Because it'd be pretty easy to tempest out your passwords with BSD. :-)
One could get the idea that certain important bugs still exist because of its low revision.
My replacement GXP75 shorts out and makes a nice high speed whine every blue moon, with a reboot noise finale!
Dead forest. :-)
Boy, I do hate piracy! If I were on a ship, and it'd be entered by strangers who'd kill me and the other crew members, I'd really hate that.
Yeah, it'd be alot easier on me if I were on a ship and it was entered by strangers who'd clone me and the other crew members. I'd be confused though.
I could make hundreds of copies, AND THEN DELETE THEM! :-)
Then its just a list for people who don't care about money or what they get?
Then why would they care? They'd probably get the full Windows in the first place.
Your Honor, my client respectfully requests that Windows be treated as an intelligent life form and therefore allowed to plead the fifth.
TIMMY FIVE ALIVE!
TIMMY!

You have expensive tastes...

They attacked us first, with techniques that we taught them for their independence.
We taught them how to hijack airplanes and make bad landings in the middle of tall buildings?
I think they made some of that up on their own.
How many things did he blow up with pipe bombs again?
Remove treat, and eat. Careful, its probably not cooked at all, and will most likely kill you.
:-)
Them legionaires bacteria will if the trichnea doesn't make you kill yourself.
The moral is to call key people that are on a short list of people who are directly involved.
And I don't see anything funny about the story.
The service guy would have done well to ask questions.
Hah!
I have TWO cupholders on mine.
Bottom one pops out faster, to think that was the cheaper one. Ya don't get what you pay for nowadays...

Each word probably invokes a whole server which then chats with all others to determine the common one and which ones go on top.
Just my guess. But it would probably really tick them off if someone had a 1000 term search.
That would be an "I'm feeling bored" button.
That would make web browsing a lot faster for me.
;-)
You mean like their zeit-thingy? :-)
