And i do not want to read physics book, it just seems to me ridiculous that they are limits to which object can travel. And if to YOU, it seems ridiculous because it's not written in a book then i guess we should all stop thinking and assumed that we have reached true knowledge of the Universe,
And maybe i was not clear in my other post but i said that someday somehow they will find something that goes faster than the speed of light (not space folding).
I just cant imagine that we set our limits to plain light, so yes if they want to shred me, go ahead i dont care.
If we can say that 186 000 milles per second is the speed of light, i dont see why they could not go at 186 001 milles per second, there is no limit to the speed something can travel at, it's just the limit of the light.
It's only a matter of time till they find something that can go much faster.
I'm giving you a +2 because it seems that you cant bash MAC here for some weird reason like it was un-american
Anybody who feels secure with any OS in particular is putting his head in the sand. The only reason MAC does not crash is because of the lack of software that exist for it.
MAC is so closed up and they are almost no software for it if you compare it to it's nemesis Windows so it's normal at some point that you'll get errors, you got software requesting the same ports/IO, some requesting file access at the same time, badly written software. Reverse the situation where MAC rules over windows, you'll get the same crap happening.
When you look at the OS you'll see people banding together to protect the virtue of smaller OS, saying they are better in every way bla bla bla and years later they'll get bashed when they get too big.
I dont know about anyone but other than the fact that it's not google it sucks, i tried searching some stuff and it does not understand "è" "é" it changes them so the search is fruitless.
If they insist on making it for just one language (english) it's bound to fail.
the only thing it had was the video search but hey! if you cant be better than google right there right now, you should not advertise
I feel the same, i sifted through the article to see how much it would cost and it's totally ridiculous
"hink plans to sell the car but lease the battery as a way to overcome one of the biggest conundrums of electric cars. The battery is by far the most expensive component of the City, which will list for about $34,000 in Norway. Take the battery out of the equation, and Willums says he can sell the car for about $15,000 to $17,000 in the United States, with a "mobility fee" of $100 to $200 a month that might also include services like insurance and wireless Internet access"
It's twice the amount of my Hyundai and it cost me less than 200$ of gas each month to run it. Where is the GREEN factor when you have to spend 17 0000 on a replacement battery not only the fact that you will need more power plant for the demands and who wants to pay an extra 100 to 200 $ to have wireless in it, rich people????
And not a small factor here for north America, it's not family friendly, 2 seats, where do you put the baby, do you have to shuttle your wife, then your kid to your destination?
Until we get a 4 seater and minivan running on either electricity or hydrogen, these invention will not change anything in people's habits.
I for one, once wrote something as a joke and put a winking smiley at the end so the person would techincally guess that i was joking
WELL not everyone is aware of the winking;) fellow, i got bar rap from my boss, the other employee's boss etc..etc.. and they were not even harsh words nor insulting, nothing sexual
So to me putting smiley to let people know how you feel is a gamble and can be used against you if the other person DOES NOT GET IT.
I like mindless movies, what i hate is Movies that are made by Michael Bay
When i heard there was going to be a transformer movie, i jump for joy, then i sa that Michael Bay AKA "Number one american flag abuser in movie" was doing the movie and strangely Steven spielberg as an executive (that must be why we did not see thousand of american flag waving in the wind)
but still Great Actions, FX are astounding, only problem for me was that stupid dramatic music everytime one robot or human falls down, he gets sweaty, looks in pain, then everything goes to slo mo, guys looks at girl camera turns around 360 degrees, boys looks around at girl, then another 360 shot.
WHO care when bumblebee got frozen, did they think we would cry or when he's got his leg torn off? Man i wanted to have more carnage more robots beating the crap out of each other and not corny love scene betweem bad actors.
And talk about wated time, there even a shot where the camera shoots a sign on the sidewalk from a bar, i mean, WHAT THE HELL!!! Michael bay should retire from making anymore movies, go back to music video.
Pull out the transformers and that was Pearl harbor all over again.
I would of thought that Ronald mcdonald head would have been much better, he's recognize everywhere and doesn't a Big Mac sooth the soul however short lived the feeling last?
There is a big difference between expressing your thought and child porn, it is not freedom of speech to expose children to porn for fucksake.
yes it's the parent's responsability to watch what he or she is doing but what about outside, dont fucking tell me it's o.k for a ten year old to get his sex education on INMYASS.COM, or to build home made bombs, tape himself beating up someone or getting beaten up and having that video on the internet.
Yes you can say whatever the fuck you want but be prepare to face the fucking reality if you do this, I for one would wish laws so at least when i'm not around my kid all 24/7 i know that he's shielded from that crap, there is a difference in talking to you kids and explainings stuff and letting them explore the crap and making their own judgment.
We are not talking about harmful ideas like i wrote in the other post but about useless crap that is dangerous for whoever gets is hand on it, dont say that a manual for making bombs or killing people is freedom of speech, i say it's a crime against humanity and as such be banned.
If everyone was intelligent, non-religious, non-racist and discrimination was a legend, maybe we would not face this issue but until people stops being stupid, it will never happen.
China censors it's citizen, you want China to stop this but at the same time arent you yourself trying to censor CHina's motive, if everyone has freedom to do whatever they want on the net then China has also the right to ban and block whatever it wants since the net is for the taking.
you want to stop banning content then have laws be drawn for everyone concerning the media and let all humanity be ruled by the same laws.
maybe but look at what they did with it, for every good thing there is at least 2 bad. Who started this shit, not you or me, censorship is mainly for two reasons, crazy radical countries like China and the fact that more and more assholes using it for illegal activities, child porn, illegal copies.
The bad on the internet is gaining on the good and until people start to behave and act in the greater good, you'll get censorship, for sure some censorship is only applied to prevent people from talking and thinking and and for this we must rise together to tear down the mental barriers of the countries who prevents this.
In my opinion, You CANT do whatever pleases you on the net, i'm all for freedom of speech where it makes people think and do good things, makes them think outside the box, but for the rest they should be strict laws.
The net cannot be apart or beyond law, it's now part our of daily lifes and as such must be regulated.
if Xp is still strong after almost 7 years, and vista more WindowME in terms of popularity, we should see another O.S. around 2010 or a revamped version of vista with more configurability or compatibility with software, so we are left with 3 years with 32 bit.
I think even with 32 bit dead in the water, we'll have those computers around for a while, CPU speed aint increasing as fast as it was, maybe when they get a new technology we'll see 4 ghz up to 6 ghz sprouting for the comomn machine.
"Dont kill me for the lack of insight, i'm no god of information and no i did not take a week of my life to support my comment by reading other stuff"
by talking down to anyone you dont know, your a jerk, and i was not saying anything like it was the asboluute truth, you read things betwwen lines that arent there.
the same myth that everyone quotes,,,i'm part of everyone and used the knowledge i had, or thought was o.k, i did not think i needed a college degree.
And if by any chance any human here can see 16.7 million color and point them to me i'll shake his hands.
I'm gamer myself and frankly i dont see any difference between 60 fps and 100 fps. the game aint smoother or better, higher frame rate to me just means that when it gets heavy on cpu and memory thw lowest FPS i'll get will be higher than 30.
O.K let's just imagine for a second that your are an investor.
Let's say you invested 100 millions dollar with this firm so they could make your money grow. Let's say their screening process is by "you smell good and look good".
they hire that guy/girl for a position in I.T., everything goes nice until someone steals the info, they have no way to know and ho ho that i.t. person knows how to cover it's tracks, if it's IT mind you.
So fingerprinting for high sensitive jobs , it's a yes for me.
For sure if that person makes less than 30 k a year he or she might reconsider going elsewhere less crazy with better pay.
Hum,,,after 30 fps, you dont see any difference or choppy movement as long as it's constant, for sure more is better if it's going to vary depending on the game you play or how many millions of triangle it's calculating, the human eye doesnt see any difference at 60 fps, nor at 100 fps.
that's the same thing with 24 bit and 32 bit color,,,,24 is enough to depict and see real pictures with perfect resolution 32 is overkill
it was meant as a joke, plastic stiffens the colder it gets, meaning that someone who just got a transfusion with this type of blood would have problem if it's cold outside.
Slashdot Mirror
It does not apply to me i'm french.
And i do not want to read physics book, it just seems to me ridiculous that they are limits to which object can travel.

And i cant believe they are making that crap anime into a movie, i mean giant lions,,,,sucks then, sucks now.
Now how about Captain harlock,,,,,now that was a nasty ship and had nasty aliens in it.
And why not do nausica of the valley of the wind or better yet AKIRA into a real movie.
I think it was meant as a pause from reading serious stuff and showing really nice parts......computer parts that is
I dont know about anyone but other than the fact that it's not google it sucks, i tried searching some stuff and it does not understand "è" "é" it changes them so the search is fruitless.

It would have been funnier with
'you are trying to avoid the cliff by drastically turning the wheel: allow or deny.....:\
Who listen to kids anyway....next big step in evolution will be to lose two fingers, the lack of written language and the mouth will seal itself.
I would not be so proud as to advertise that i text a thousand messages a month in a less than bad english or any other language for that matter.
Like it has been posted on slashdot, the next big thing is morse code, so text messaging is sooooo out

They forgot to say that all systems comes with vista so is there a choice not to buy Vista with a new system?(except for dell as far as i know)
it is no great feat when you corner people into buying something.
yes!!! they could waste pellicule on showing the american flag 100 times in the movie just to remind us that it's in america.
Michael bay has a thing with the flag that borders on creepyyyyyy!!!!!!
I'm betting that he has U.S flag underwear and a set of bed sheets to match.
"belongs to the people".
maybe but look at what they did with it, for every good thing there is at least 2 bad.

religions doesnt explain anything, it patches hole in the unknownw with the god plaster/god's way.
There is no evolution of thought in religions as everything is created and operated by god.

Not everyone has a degree in crt monitor mind you but thanks for the explanation even though it took all your short change to write this.
Whatever knowledge you have, you cant expect the rest of the world to know, but i guess that true geeks are snobs anyways
