The beauty of these scams is that they run on greed.
I mean , the simplest solution to the check problem is to send the cheque back to the owner. But then they miss out on the $500 . So , people are blinded by those $500 and due whatever is asked from them.
One thing i noticed is that the money you 'supposedly' get , is reducing with every email. Maybe they discovered that people don't believe it if it's billions of dollars .
C++ is used for low level programming , C# is high level programming.
You want to create an application that uses forms to do some business processing , and send it to database , use C# . You want an application that has to calculate prime numbers , or some other heavy mathematical issue , use C++.
Both have their uses , and it's fine that way. Offcourse , that doesn't mean C++ can't be improved.
News update: Dogs aren't asexual. Either that or you consider your pets visible non-living objects. I'll be sure the Humane Society will pay you a visit.
I agree , but i was using 'itself' to not offend the grammar nazis.
The Humane society can come whenever they want , i'm sure she will love playing with them.
It's not that much the brain size , as the brain size in proportion to the body. The bigger the body , the more brain mass is required to control the body.
So a small creature with a relatively big head , could be as smart as a human being or more.
A big creature with a small brain , would be completely dumb.
In other words, you'll burn more kilojoules at rest.
This is a myth that's been going around for quite some time. A more heavily muscled person doesn't burn any more calories at rest. The person can burn more calories while exercising due to the ability to lift/carry/etc against more resistance, thus using more energy, but there's absolutely no basis for claiming that a well muscled person burns more calories when sitting on the couch.
He didn't say it was because of more muscles. It's because of higher metabolism .
Your metabolism increases when your body needs it to increase.Like getting up early and go running , before breakfast. I can assure you , you will be famished by the time you eat breakfast. Only problem is that you might be so hungry you want to eat more. Wich would cancel out the effect.
Who in their right mind have a computer online with Windows 95/98 or ME on it?
Google should put it on their front page telling people to switch...
Maybe because they don't NEED anything more than Windows 95/98/Me ? They only need security patches. Oh right , Microsoft doesn't support them anymore.That's Microsofts fault , not theirs.
Otherwise i suggest you pay everyone who still has Windows 95/98/Me some Basic version of Vista.
Any hatred is irrational, but Apple does seem quite opposed to Freedom these days,
In what way?
Apple offers countless examples in support of Freedom. They support Webkit, GCC, LLVM, a multitude of common open source apps like Apache, Bonjour, Squirrelfish, etc. etc. etc.
If you yearn to support those who aid software Freedom, as I do (been a paid member of the FSF for years now) then you too would support Apple and the various open source efforts they contribute heavily to.
In the end only your hatred is misplaced, for Apple has no cause for it.
Sorry to wake you up , but Apple really couldn't care less about Freedom. They use monopolies to get the upper hand , how is that fair ?
It may be irrational to hate them , but unconditional blind love for them isn't rational either.
How do you make make if to make make you need make?
Most distro's simply come with a binary version of make , wich compiled somewhere else.
There's nothing wrong with that , except that you have a make that wouldn't be optimal for your system. By making make with the right flags , you create an optimal make.
Slashdot Mirror
I wonder if these houses can also be upgraded to towers :-)
Aparently they don't know about gobuntu , wich is exactly the same as they are doing , namely a completely free distro.
Granted , maybe gNewSense existed before Gobuntu.
I'll check the date stamps

It depends on what you use it for .
C++ is used for low level programming , C# is high level programming.

Well , i'm available . But it's hard to find good looking women on slashdot .
Maybe trough a voting system. You vote on the music you like , and your is distributed in accordance to your votes.
Well , 'on the Internet , no one knows you are a dog' has been working quite nicely for me .
Maybe it's time to introduce 'on the Internet , no one knows you are a magpie '

Well , it evolved : first she recognized a playmate , and barked towards it .
Now she just looks at it , turns her head a little . So she knows that if she moves , her image moves.
Also , when i play with her , she uses the mirror to see where i am .
It's not that much the brain size , as the brain size in proportion to the body. The bigger the body , the more brain mass is required to control the body.

I have one more : my dog recognizes itself in the mirror.
so add dogs to the list .
On the other hand , if they are experienced with Linux , they are going to get a lot more out of it then ever possible with Windows.
It's not that much of a dictatorship. The people get to vote on which CP member gets in. It's a bit like the US really, but with one less party.
:-)
I saw the second one , never saw the first.
Strange thing is , being a man , i don't find the second one offensive , but i do find the first one offensive.
I'm pretty sure there are very few Germans alive today who voted for the Nazis.
Say you had to be 18 to vote , and lets start counting from 1933 . So people born before 1915.
So you can only be talking about people who are at least 93 years old at the moment. Who may not necessarily have voted for the Nazis.
So you are going to base your entire judgement of the German people now , on those few people ?
Why isn't there a '-1, Complete Moron' ?

If someone is doing something that isn't right, and you don't stop them, you're basically helping them do their incorrect business.
Not that pot is 'evil', but ... all it takes for evil to win, is that good men do nothing.
That would depend on the interpretation of good and bad.
If people want to take drugs, and ruin their lives,it's their choice , not mine.
People should take responsibility for their own actions , and not expect society to always clean it up for them.
I'm not saying there's no problem , but making everyone feel guilty for nothing won't help either.

"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."
Anger doesn't always lead to hate. Suppressed anger leads to hate. And that will either hurt you or someone else.
You can't just neglect your emotions , they are part of you too.
Ok , this has nothing to do the Iphone. Sorry about that.

Because they can. Isn't that like the official motto of geeks everywhere?
Well it's fun too . In the best case , you get it to do something really neat , in the worst case , at least you get to break something expensive :-)
Don't react to it , it's exactly that kind of negative attention he's craving for.

You forget the Makefile.
