I agree. I don't like working without a technical writer, but I'd sure hate to BE a technical writer. They are special people with special skills, and they are really useful people to have around.
Also, check out the many many many Progress resupply missions to Mir and the ISS, and the Salyut stations. Lots of those were automated, no human control for the docking.
I'd happily use the bandwidth to forward all the bounces to the spammer. I can configure exim to send any mail not addressed to a real person on to the spammer. Except for the use of my bandwidth, is this any different than changing the MX records? And I think it would be safer too. If I set the MX record, they could send out genuine mail as me, rather than just forged mail.
There's a difference between a cheat and a walkthrough. A cheat would have just let me be invincible, or skip the level entirely. I remember using the walkthrough to try to get the mission over with, but even with that it was impossible for me.
I like cheats because sometimes I like a game, except for one stupid little thing.
For example, Command and Conquer doesn't have cheats as far as I know. I was having a great time with the game, until I hit the mission where the little commando dude has to make his way into the abandoned base and start it up. I must have tried 50 times, but couldn't get past that mission.
Sorry Westwood, you might have made some great missions past that point, and I might have actually purchased some of those many expansion packs that you put out. But, one of your missions was too hard to complete, and there was no way for me to skip that frustrating experience.
Earl Grey tea is just black tea flavored with Oil of Bergamot. The Bergamot is an Italian citrus fruit that is too sour to eat by itself, so it's grown for the oil instead.
I've been here on/. a long time, and so far I have not seen evidence of a $1.99 steak and eggs breakfast, nor a decent shrimp cocktail, nor a white tiger jumping through a hoop. You can stop counting your karma now.
There may or may not be two different notions of proof here. Goedel's Incomp. Th. was only talking about mathematical proofs that are constructed within a system by relying on other things that are proven or known to be true.
Mod that guy up. Goedel's famous Incompleteness Theorem shows that there are things in math that are true, but there is no posible proof that those things are true. Therefore, the only way to show something is true would be an inelegant brute-force search.
I don't know how you live or what kind of job you have, but I know I can do far better than $250/wk, thank you very much.
I live in one of the more affluent areas of Austin TX. There is a small chance that you make more money than me, but I wouldn't bet on it. Anyway, that's not an argument, and it means nothing.
And thanks to social security, they can? More likely it's because they were able to save/invest responsibly and prepared for the future. Not that that's hard to do, compared to social security, where you usually get back LESS than what you out into it. Not what I call a wise investment.
Social Security is not an investment. When you argue against something, it would help you to know what it is you are arguing against.
What are you talking about? What government entitlement program do you think changed that sentiment? When did I ever suggest that men were more valuable women? Stop trying to bolster your weak argument by putting words into my mouth.
The words were mine, and they were not attributed to you. If you're not familiar with the very positive social effects of Social Security, then that's a point of ignorance on your part. There's many other positives; I only mentioned one. You don't have to take my word for it. If you study what you are arguing against, you'd be able to learn the same thing.
If they can't live within their means and prepare for the future responsibly, that's not my fault nor my problem. I have no problem with donating to charity VOLUNTARILY (and I do), but the government has no right to confiscate what I have earned and give it to someone else.
Ahhh, the old "taxes are theft" argument. That argument is incorrect, because you've benefitted greatly from social services, and now you don't want to pay for that benefit. The government DOES have the right to tax you, and force you to pay. Your option is to either change the system, or move. The system as it stands now has the right.
Socialism has nothing to do with protecting everybody equally, unless you equate "protection" with "subsidies". It is a system that punishes the successful and rewards the unmotivated. It tells people they are too stupid to make decisions for themselves.
That's not an argument, it's word play. Address the problem without all the rhetoric.
Actually, social security CAN take better care of you than you can take care of yourself. The world tried it your way for thousands of years and guess what: it sucked.
-people could not retire at all, ever -people valued boys more than girls, because boys were needed to earn money to take care of parents. The devaluation of half of society was sick, and frankly, you're sick to desire it (or just ignorant if you never realized it) -you're obviously off-kilter if you think social security is forced dependence. Not everyone will have enough money to support themselves when they are too old and sick to work. Do you propose that we just kill them? -Free society doesn't just protect the rich, that's an oligarchy. A free society protects all citizens.
So, thanks for yet another batch of emotional arguments. Insult has nothing to do with it. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that it's not good for society, and YOU in particular.
It is remotely possible that the execs brought their charges against IBM and orchestrated the media frenzy around it to raise the stock price in order to increase their profits from a sale.
Remember, I said remotely possible. The story here seems to be written in a way that is pruriently suggestive of illegal manipulations, but so far there's really no reason to believe it.
Illogical argument. The system will adjust to meet the new conditions. Are you really having difficulty imagining the obvious way that the system will adjust to meet the new conditions? Your ranting is not an argument, and you've given me no reason to believe that your characterization of social systems is accurate. People like you have been saying that societies with social systems will collapse for decades, and guess what: they haven't collapsed.
OK, I'll tell you the answer. The retirement age will go up. Simple.
Hungarian notation is evil, essentially because it doesn't help the compiler, and it hinders the human programmer.

You young kids are so cute when you say things like that!
What do you mean we've never gotten two spacecraft to move into relative position to each other?
Gemini 6 and 7

Or maybe with polio vaccine, smallpox vaccine, germ theory, surgery, and scientific agriculture they've just plain grown up.
Without science, chances are that you'd be dead right now. Or if you weren't, then half your siblings would be.

Do you think we should kill them?
Just because some of us don't have money and houses, doesn't mean that they don't have the right to their own lives without government tracking.
John Ashcroft, you cocksucking voyeur, mind your own business.

So, is brute force included in that?

Sort of like how a little thing called the Constitution has been adjusted over the years to cope with current conditions.

Titania doesn't detect icebergs though. Terrorists will drive icebergs into our landmarks.

Because it was dirty. It worked perfectly, but looked like it had been installed in a coal crushing factory.
Interesting theory, except that Columbia was the heaviest of all the flyable orbiters.
Come on, geeks! The space program is far too important to be so ignorant of it that simple errors like this could be made! Have some pride.
