Before his first or physical birth man was in the world of the matrix. He had no knowledge of this world; his eyes could not see; his ears could not hear. When he was born from the world of the matrix, he beheld another world. The sun was shining with its splendors, the moon radiant in the heavens, the stars twinkling in the expansive firmament, the seas surging, trees verdant and green, all kinds of creatures enjoying life here, infinite bounties prepared for him. In the world of the matrix none of these things existed. In that world he had no knowledge of this vast range of existence; nay, rather, he would have denied the reality of this world. But after his birth he began to open his eyes and behold the wonders of this illimitable universe. Similarly, as long as man is in the matrix of the human world, as long as he is the captive of nature, he is out of touch and without knowledge of the universe of the Kingdom. If he attains rebirth while in the world of nature, he will become informed of the divine world. He will observe that another and a higher world exists. Wonderful bounties descend; eternal life awaits; everlasting glory surrounds him. All the signs of reality and greatness are there. He will see the lights of God. All these experiences will be his when he is born out of the world of nature into the divine world. Therefore, for the perfect man there are two kinds of birth: the first, physical birth, is from the matrix of the mother; the second, or spiritual birth, is from the world of nature. In both he is without knowledge of the new world of existence he is entering. Therefore, rebirth means his release from the captivity of nature, freedom from attachment to this mortal and material life. This is the second, or spiritual, birth of which Jesus Christ spoke in the Gospels.

matrix P Pronunciation Key (m tr ks)
n. pl. matrices (m tr -s z , m t r -) or matrixes
1. A situation or surrounding substance within which something else originates, develops, or is contained: "Freedom of expression is the matrix, the indispensable condition, of nearly every form of freedom" (Benjamin N. Cardozo).
2. The womb.
This has probably already been asked many times already, but, didn't Sony release a Playstation Linux kit? Why arn't we supporting their efforts and buying that instead of pouring so much effort into a mircro~1 solution?
>Unfortunately, these days I wouldn't be surprised if an infants first words were "sex" instead of "mama" or "papa".
Actually, an infant's first word has nothing to do with what words they hear and what their surrounded by. The reason "mama" and "papa" are the first words an infant learns, across a myriad of different languages, is because 'm' 'p' 'b' are the three easiest sounds to make -- it's simply the infant learning motor cordination of their lips and closing them while exhaling; and then, naturally, 'a' is the default vowel you get ("now say aaaaaaah") when you connect your consonants together. It's the parents who then narcissistically assign importance to the utterances; the child gets all this attension whenever they make that utterance, and they learn the concept of getting attension by forming "words"
For a child to have "sex" be their first word, they'd have to learn to control their lips and the front of their tounge to channel air such that it makes a pneumantic hiss, then propell the back of their tounge up to cut off airflow, and then return it to it's origional position immediately -- without relaxing with a vowel first.
I also spend a lot of time working on other peoples computers and still constantly (just yesterday) get comments on how fast my typing is. (although admitably my DVORAK isn't *that* much faster, it's more a comfort thing; I've been on DVORAK for almost a year)
Essentially I have an acer ergo keyboard that I set as DVORAK (don't worry about the keys! How often do you look at your keys in qwerty? Also when learning to type don't you remeber continually getting scolded for looking at the keys? Just attach a dvorak diagram to the monitor while your learning, take it off after a couple weeks!)
My qwerty on this keyboard is slower than a cheetah; who lost it's legs. It's slightly anoying when I boot back to dos, but at that point I just look at the keys. Other than that I'm always in DVORAK. When I go to someone else's standard keyboard (or even an ms-ergo keyboard) QWERTY still comes totally naturally.
I was originally planning on writing a simple, open source, servlet to dynamically change file extensions in the html tags dependent on browser compatibility; Should be a relatively simple task given the replace method for strings. Then a friend said you could have Apache do it internally so I gave up. Anyone still intrested in writing or using a servlet lemme know.
Integration: Servlets are tightly integrated with the server. This integration allows a servlet to cooperate with the server in ways that a GGI program cannot. For example, a servlet can use the server to translate file paths, perform logging, check authorization, perform MIME type mapping, and, in some cases add users to the server's user database. Server-specific extensions can do much of this, but the process is usually much more complex and error-prone.
Efficiency and Endurance: Servlet invocation is highly efficient. Once a servlet is loaded, it generally remans in the server's memory as a single object instance. Thereafter, the server invokes the servlet to handle a request using a simple, lightweight method invocation. Unlike CGI, there's no process to spawn or interpreter to invoke, so the servlet can begin handling the request almost immediately. Multiple, concurrent request are handled by separate threads, so servlets are highly scalable.

If one were to make a missle with a huge mirror exo-skeloton, what would happen? Would it just burn through the mirror on would it melt the plane?
Forget submarines, I'm attaching this to my SCUBA equipment!!!
That would be a question in yoda speak "Boring are you?" for a statment you need to leave the subject uninverted: "Boring YOU are!"
Looking up helps too; preferably not directly at the street lamp you must have been under.

170K ought to be enough for anyone ...
These keyboards rock... I got the DVOARK model and absolutly love it from: https://secure.vscape.net/officeorganix/kenis1pr.h tm
Is there any place that sells these at a decent price online? I couldn't find them at buycomp/pricewatch/shopper... not even the qwerty...

I'd make an animation of the two product icons w/ legs, in race. Doubt I'd get the million, but I'd try.
