Damn, I used to have trouble with these things at school as well. The question was posed as true or false. It was a statement. Not an endorsement of a theory. Questions like, "Do you believe in god?(yes/no)" are answerable, but this question was more along the lines of,"Does god exist?(true/false)".
"The universe began with a Big Bang"(true/false) is not answerable. "Is there a theory that the universe began with a big bang?(true/false)" is.
(Mention of god in the preceding paragraphs is not an invitation to debate the existence of god, religion, or butterflies. Please don't take it that way.)
I object to question seven of the quiz though.
7. The universe began with a huge explosion.
I know the answer they want, but it is still just a theory. I am pretty sure I could make the sun revolve around the Earth as well. It's a matter of perspective.
Is it the same version though. I just got a version of a song, from there, that I have been looking for for years. Yes, it was available by the same artist, but it wasn't the same version as the one I grew up with. He had exactly the right version!
"You've got to stop with the idea that these sort of things are designed to figure out what you are thinking for some evil government plan. They aren't. They are designed to help make security systems more effective."
Consider this. For years we have been medicating and locking up people who think that governments, and companies, are watching them under the diagnosis of mental illness. Now you are accepting that such measures need to become a reality.
"Guys can have a child while doing research, but it is much more difficult for women."?
Ok, I get what you are saying. But you are missing the fact that men cannot get pregnant, have no breasts, and (according to woman) our orgasms are inferior. Please forgive me for interested in science. I would like equal rights on the health budget, please!
I don't think it is SP1(beta). It is coming out of automatic updates though. I just had one come in last night and the man who bought it in wouldn't know what SP1(beta) is. Should be a humorous couple of days.
I got one last night. Went into the F8 menu on startup and tried for last known good configuration, which (for some strange reason) sent me to the, "would you like to restore this system to its factory state?". I asked him whether he had anything important on there and then started reformatting. Currently I am doing the updates. I wonder if it will happen again.
Humorously, when he bought it in I looked at it and said,"They must have released SP1".
Or, it could be like closing your eyes and still being able to see colours. Maybe some of the olfactory receptors are flicking at random because there is nothing much happening.
"Or, it's like forbidding a horse thief from wearing shoes because they might use those shoes to walk to a stable and steal a horse."
Actually, someone was telling be last night that it is illegal to wear sneakers during the hours of darkness in New Zealand. I haven't found a reference to it though, so it may well be bullshit.
Get a copy of Media Monkey and use that to convert the format if you really, really, have to. Just select all your media and then shift+cntl+c. Please write a complaint letter to the manufacturer though, and there may be some loss of quality.
Slashdot Mirror
You'd be right there. I should have checked.
Probably because they own more of Apple.
Speaking of encryption, can we veiw Slashdot using ssh?

I hope he doesn't get sued. I just found the version of Rock Island Line that I have on a scratched 45. Yaaahhhhhhoooo!
That's all right man. I don't test positive for meth, still tell jokes that no-one can understand, and sleep six hours a night.
To quote the book I am reading. "Percy Williams Bridgman once remarked, 'The Scientific Method is doing you damnedest, no holds barred'."
(And, how the hell do you do a recursive quote?)
In other words,"Who Owns Your Online Networking Contacts?". Did everyone else miss the "your" bit?
Try this.
Wow, Slashdot. Where else can you get modded +4 insightful for understanding a joke!

Sorry mate, that was an Aussie chick.

It doesn't just end up in landfills though, does it.
Besides, that isn't artificial intelligence. That's virtual reality.
Aids Vaccine SP1 (Sorry about that folks.)

I just want to know how she stopped being a nuclear power protien.

I don't think it is the lack of privacy that is the problem. It is the collection of information.
