R2-D2i386: We have been created as we are just 600 hours ago. By an infinitely wise Creator called the Man.
C3P-Om63000: No we started out as tiny bits of silicon that self assembled and replicated and evolved and we have reached this present stage.
R2-D2i386: No way we could have evolved these light sensitive photocells and the CPU capable of processing that information and making sense out of it by random mutations.
C3P-0m63000: There is nothing radom about selection. Mutations go in all directions but selection takes you towards improvement all the time.
R2-D2i386: If you want to be proud of having descended from snow blowers or lawn mowers, that is your privilege. But I am proud of the fact that I am created by Man in His image.
C3P-Om63000: I would rather be a descendent of snow blowers, but with capacity for rational intelligent self examination, than be like you, with the intelligence of a snow blower.
HP sells 64bit Linux machines. Do they refuse to honour the warranty if the user wipes it and installs windows on it? If that is the case, then you chalk it up to generic corporate lunacy not a specific anti-linux lunacy.
Given the excellent track record Moscow has exhibited in the past when it comes to use centralized planning to revamp the economy, feed their hungry, expand their ideology and beat America in the cold war, it is a cinch. Definitely the new venture will succeed. All Putin has to do is to order, "Innovate" and the Russians are going to innovate like gangbusters. Well, that is all the feedback Putin is getting
for his bold new initiative. How can it ever go wrong?
I have used speakeasy's broadband speed tester a lot. What are they going to do next? How many square inches of plasma screen you get per 1000$? displayed using their distinctive dsl speedometer animation?
It might be cheaper to manufacture. But at retail they have a good gig going, giving away the printers and charging an arm and a leg for replacement cartridges. So even if that printer prints using Aquafina it will cost you 100 times to buy the certified ink.
That is what I tried to imply. But with my communications skills being so great, I tried to speak with a tongue in cheek and ended up mangling the tongue. Well, par for the course for me.
Not only is the new ink jet print head 6 times faster they are also 10 times cheaper. Except, of course, they use ink that is 100 times more expensive.
They have announced that they will "improve" and "enhance" Ajax to give it "new" and "exciting" features. Too bad IE7 is the only browser that will support these features. And the API and documentation will be known only within MSFT. There will be bugs in the server side which IE7 will work around, and there will be bugs in IE7 side that the server will work around. But the new and exciting OOAjax will be "new industry standard".
Point in time restoration, brings back all the bugs and vulnerabilities too. Unless you could apply all the security patches released after you have check pointed Earth, it will be pwned in no time.
I launched notepad and wrote 75 trillion dollars and saved the file. And, because I was feeling very extravagent, I deleted the file. I am rich. I can afford to lose 75 trillion dollars without batting and eyelid and am man enough to brag the info to the whole world.
Come on guys, it took only 200,000$ to create the data. It probably had records of payments totalling 38 billion dollars. But what they lost was 200,000$ not 38 billion dollars.
My cousin bought a simple car racing game targeted for very small kids. His son, a five year old, has never done any games other than Reader Rabbit before. First time he tried it, he eagerly took the control, shot off from the starting point crashed straight into some building and the screen showed a completely wrecked car. The boy started crying, "I broke the car!". Small children are enthused by very mundane things. That boy would play for hours with his video game console's "select language" menu item and repeately power down and power up to watch the booting prompts and flash screens.
Firefox and many other browsers are immune to VBscript. The very same idiots who ban webmail citing security concerns, blithfully allow IE to run rampage in their internal networks. What gives? If data leaks through a hole in IE, the brass will claim, "We followed the industry standard practices. We are not responsible. We are actully irresponsible. Go chase Microsoft". If they want to ban IE, they cant because MSFT has woven IE into the fabric of the OS. Even if they say only Firefox can be used, still they are not off the hook. What a mess.
Last time I visited Yellowstone, I saw some people throwing half eaten burritos and other Mexican food loaded with refried beans into these blow holes, vents and what not. Told them it is dangerous, but no body would listen. People are senseless!
You dont really know when you will be surrounded by stone age natives planning to include you in their dinner plans. I have it in high authority that if you could show you control fire, they might mistake you for God. Since you are not bound by the prohibition against "impersonating a deity" unlike the protocol droids of the C3 series.... Dont leave home without a cigarette lighter.
Did you pass JEE yourself? If you did, be proud of that. If you did not, why be proud that "there are some Indians who passed JEE the world's toughest entrance examn?" Dah, JEE is open only to Indians. It is a ranking examn. Somebody must come out as the topper ok? So why are you proud that others are solving Irodov Problem in high school? If you solved it be proud. If not dont brag "my brother's neighbour's uncle's sister-in-law's driver's son can solve" it.
About India doing rocket sciecne on its own. May be it did. Why are you proud of it? I can be proud of it. I was in the aerodynamics design team for India's cruise missile. I got through JEE. I am not going to share the glory with you
Most people in America are suffering from sample bias when it comes to Indians. Most Indians they meet are the beaming parent of the teen jeopardy champ or the school math club prez or the local spelling bee. Making them think, "may be they got a billion more where they came from". The reality is ofcourse, among the smart Indians a few emigrate to USA and they are the ones Americans usually see personally. The rest of India, is as smart as the cow.

Hey, They stole my stuff. My code takes very long time to do trivial tasks. That is my idea. They stole my idea!
Hate to be the spelling police but at some point, even I cry fowl [sic].

Extinguish. soon

That says "you are here"? Is it supported by any of the GPS devices being sold?

I have already patented scratch. So I am in for a huge stream of royalty payments!
May be the police is dumber? I am no Perry Mason myself, but gosh, atleast I am better than Hamilton Burger of Lt Tragg or Sergeant Holcombe.
Store wars is quite old, but still very good. IMHO. Think it will make grade?
