Yeah, I made a sample page in word and then looked at it in TextPad after it had been "published", full of garbage XML tags that had stuff like all your personal Word licensing information, spelling and grammar check resultso on the doc, your Windows version. I was amazed at how much crap they packed in that would be completely useless for those who don't browse the web using Word

There are literally hundreds, maybe thousands of operating systems, mostly developed as little projects by noobs. Some reasonably big ones not mentioned here (probably because they're not an option), are the GEM based ones, NextStep, BeOS, Amiga. You don't want to know about these, trust me "Not overhere, I haven't seen any computer that came with linux installed (or maybe one or two) in our supermarkets (Carrefour, GB, Aldi, Makro, ...)"Computers are sold in supermarkets? ("Buy one get one free, aisle five!")

You don't need all that crap. Just get a hammer and a hard surface to put the drive on and smash away! You'd be surprised at the quality results

Anyway I was mostly just messing with you ;)Even though I'm in Honors I never really found that I was that good at math, but good luck in all your endeavors and I will help if you have another question which I know the answer to! I could have done this one but everyone else had it covered and I felt like posting (Sux that you're doing it while we are just finishing our summer break here in the US.)

Oh, it's the british way. I get it.But i'd like to point out that more people say "math" than "maths", and also the ths phoneme sounds wierd

Has Anyone Bought The Video iPod ? So should you buy one?
Pharoah replied to iGuest's topic in Science and Technology
For some reason many people are obsessed with the wheel interface of the ipod. It's the only special thing about it, and it isn't really THAT great. Touch screen is better, usually, and although the wheel is potentially one handed you really have to hold the ipod for it to work. I still don't understand why apple's sales and the MP3 stuff exploded when the iPods came out, are they really THAT great? -
Yes it's an extension of the bank switching effect that makes these memories perform better. My dell laptop requires 2 memories in both slots, and they have to be the same size. I can't say it runs particularly fast but I'm not a gamer or anything so I really don't know.

Free Energy..! The ultimate world equalizer...
Pharoah replied to kaputnik's topic in Science and Technology
I ran across a site called Fuellesspower.com awhile ago, all a scam. I think this is the same case with this engine, although it would be really great if it were true. At this site you can actually buy plans, but i'm told that they either don't perform nearly up to expectations, require some source of energy input not mentioned, or just don't work. Funny how people get all optimistic though. -
Lol 15 years!! And people still can't agree on how to pronounce the name :DI'm ashamed to say i'm not a regular linux user, but I can't stand servers that are built on NT and stuff! They're always slow and crappy.

Lol we will soon have his brother Jeb. If George is the cowboy president, Jeb sounds like the trailer park president. People really give their kids stupid names!I do my part by watching the Daily Show online

Has anyone pointed out yet that "maths" is not a word?It's math BTW

Unfortunately, I don't have the URL but yesterday I ran across an article about voting machines that were made to be rigged. Yes, the most popular supplier of those touch-screen voting machines has put a dip-switch inside to switch from the legal "memory A" to the illegal "memory B"! Memory A can pass all the tests and Memory B can make the "right" candidate win on election day. Someone looking them over finally noticed, but you'd think it would be the first thing the people testing them would notice. It makes you wonder how they hire these voting machine inspectors.Anyone read the same thing?

Awesome. Reminds me of when I heard all this stuff about MythTV and how people were using old Xboxes as the "frontends". Some day I will try one of these things out, and I'm the ideal candidate because my family hardly ever uses our Xbox, and we only have like 4 games (crimson skies, clone wars, halo 1, halo 2)

Solar System To Have 12 Planets
Pharoah replied to xboxrulz1405241485's topic in Science and Technology
I don't have a problem with 9 planets. They could say there were 36 of them if they wanted (as long as I didn't have to memorize all 36), but I DO have a problem with them not coming to a final conclusion. 4 years ago in science we learned that there were 5 kingdoms of life, then they decided to change that to 3 domains, and 4 kingdoms in the Eukeria one. Now my brother says that they've done away with the domains and they just have 7 kingdoms! How is anyone supposed to learn anything when they're just trying to keep track of all this classification terminology?
