I'm pretty sure it's the exact opposite :

You take the same turn for 30 years now : YOU KNOW IT, so you optimize it a little bit (without thinking of course... it's a natural event here)... optimize it so much than it became inconsistent and risky... optimize it too much and... you know what I mean ;)

Start by reading and testing their 50$ cheapo robot : http://www.societyofrobots.com/

50$ isn't something that will make you broke, and you'll have a quickstart on electronic parts.
Then, if you wanna upgrade, go get an Arduino, and put it in your 50$ robots (now 80$robot ;) )
Them you can upgrade and add parts as you like, and all with a SMALL budget.

HAVE FUN!

Comment PCTools 2.41e (Score 2) 704

I learned so many things with PCTools 2.41e, from formatting (I was a noob really) to hex editing (Removed face-off copy protection, and even created complete hack list for EyeOfTheBeholder lol)...

I have so much memories with this program... and when I tryed the next version, it was so poor and with so less features....

A religion is - imo- a way to control a mass of people by fear, and since so many people are ready to trust anything, it can only lead to mass stupidy and conflicts.

I just wish that everybody could read between the lines of all thoses books and religious statements, and just find a good way of living WHILE using their brains and think for themselves.

But I guess it's just a wish... not everyone was given a brain at birth ;)

Here's how to fix the Linux desktop:

Make it polished and reliable.
Enforce a single GUI environment.
Have it run real productivity applications (e.g. MS Office, Adobe Photoshop, Mathworks Matlab).
Make it certified under Single Unix Specification [wikipedia.org].
Make it support smooth trackpad gestures.
Those are just some minor suggestions.

There, fixed it for you :)

Those organs would be LOST anyway... Their not beating their wife, they save peoples by ripping of organs from those who actually killed their wife or someone else. Sound good to me. It should be "We'll stop when we'll be able to grow them in lab" instead.

We should do that here too, as long as we can't grow theses in lab for cheap.

What canadian culture is ?

-1 Big families (this one is phasing out)
-2 Religion (this one is phasing out)
-3 Living with nature (this one is phasing out)
-4 Food stuff (bacon, "tourtiere" and special thing like thoses ) (this one is phasing out)
-5 85% english 15% french (this one is phasing out)
-6 Hockey, and it's not phasing out...
-7 Try to propagate peace and stuff like that beyond the world, which appear to be phasing out.

So you can resume the entire canadian culture with only 1 word : HOCKEY. it's sad.
