complete with speaking in tongues. This was in a public school in Georgia, mind you.
Just read up on "speaking in tongues" at Wikipedia and, boy, my mind is blown! Really??? This person really muttered idiotic, incoherent syllables and wasn't fired/institutionalized on the spot, but did so regularly, in public? I'm still trying to wrap my mind around that. Wow, just wow. I don't get how someone that insane can be seen fit to teach children.
A very well written summary, that is basically how I understand the situation by reading the articles about this issue at heise Newsticker, Spiegel Online and fefes blog, too.
Exactly what I thought after having read the first page, didn't bother clicking through to the second. That guy is using GMail, he should just start to familiarize himself with its features and he'd have a lot less stuff to read. Auto-mark-as-read-and-tag for messages coming from Facebook and Twitter, anything containing the word "Newsletter" or "Press Release", that sounds like the solution to his problem. If he's filtering manually he's doing it wrong.
As has been noted, nuclear systems are quite safe compared to bean sprouts
Since nobody has posted numbers yet: 36 people have been killed by that E.Coli outbreak in Germany so far. Are you seriously suggesting that less people died after the Chernobyl meltdown?
From what I've read he once saw a terribly cropped airing of 2001 broadcast on TV somewhere, so he rather had his movies distributed Open Matte than horribly butchered.
Squeeze works quite fine on my pink Pogoplug. Also couldn't log in after each cold reboot after my first installations in November last year, but according to a forum post at doozan.com that was related to a certain faulty kernel update which is fixed now.
No, not 500 MByte, usually I don't need more than 100 MByte, which is plenty enough for E-Mail (got a T-Mobile G1 particularly for the keyboard) and some light surfing. 100 MByte go for 3.90 EUR at my provider, the 1 GByte package costs 10 EUR.
What good is your old phone without a contract?
The cell providers make you sign the same contract whether you buy a phone or not.[...]
Can only speak on the situation in Germany, but when you don't want a contract here you can switch to one of the countless prepaid providers, take your old number with you and pay very little - e.g. you don't need to pay for flatrate fees that you won't ever need and minutes, sms and data plans are much cheaper compared to contract prices. My bill is usually in the sub 10 EUR range each month.
Er, what? They're basing their conclusions for individual states on an online poll with a meager 7500 participants? That's around 150 participants per state, I highly doubt you can get any meaningful statistic out of those numbers.
Then simply don't update? As long as you don't update you keep the Other OS feature. If you don't need your PS3 for anything else there's no reason to update, too.
The speakers were pretty unreachable under the ceiling, next to the subway sign: http://i46.tinypic.com/atlsm0.jpg - believe me, I thought about that myself once or twice. I also went on a search to find the device where that music was played from, unsuccessfuly, unfortunately. Picture was taken after a football game, btw, usually there wasn't that much police around.;)
I've been living in a flat at a park near a train station (Bielefeld, Germany, if anyone cares) for over a year. All kinds of shady people hung out there day in and day out, drinking tons of alcohol, taking drugs, on sunny days it must've been 150 people and still around 10-20 regulars when it rained. Worst thing, when it rained they used to hang directly before my house because it had a small porch, with the result of having one or two of those dunkards stumble into my house each time I opened the front door because they leaned against it. Well, annoying, but I didn't pay too much and the proximity to everything in inner city was excellent (it basically was at the midst of inner city), so I didn't care.
One day the town officials decided that it would be a *great* idea to shun away the bums with classic music, so they played Beethoven's Für Elise in an infinite loop. Worst. Idea. Ever. The drunks didn't care at all, nothing in their numbers changed, they even seemed to like it. On a lot of occasions one could hear them loudly bawling the piano refrain melody of the song, but even more of the time you would just see them standing there, eyes all empty and being heavily drugged. They just did not care. I, on the other hand, got pretty annoyed after a few weeks. Even today I can't stand the Für Elise melody, pretty bad, considering it's one of his most popular works. I assume the only people annoyed by that were the sober people who had to pass there every day to go to work, shop, et cetera.
kind of like ASF which was sort of a "scene standard" for those stuck on modem connections for way too long
Er, no. The Scene never dealt in ASF, that was the realm of retarded IRC download channels.
And yeah, "the scene" seemed to adopt MKV before the big name media players (VLC and mplayer) had decent support for the container format which resulted in lots of people being extremely frustrated and the scenesters telling them to "run Windows and download and use Media Player Classic, n00b!".
The Scene actually has adopted.mkv pretty late, h.264 720p/1080p HDTV rips in Matroska Contaners were around way before the first HD Scene releases appeared sometime early 2008. The oldest h.264 encoded.mkv that's still available on a huge HD Tracker is from 2005-12-10 and I know personally that I didn't have problems playing those files with mplayer on Linux in 2006. Come on, if you're trolling at least try to get your facts straight.
Not here in Germany, if you have an @gmail.com account you either were an early adopter that got in sometime before mid-2005 or you intentionally circumvented their region check. You can only register @googlemail.com accounts here, since Google lost a Trademark dispute over the name GMail.
uTorrent 1.8 works with Wine here and it already brings support for the uTP protocol, you just have to switch int on manually in the advanced settings. There any other reason you want to use 2? Because I wouldn't recommend that, as some private trackers don't allow using it yet.
For 1.8.x, in advanced settings, set bt.transp_disposition to:
0: attempt only TCP
1: attempt both TCP and uTP, drop TCP if uTP is successful
2: attempt uTP if supported, TCP otherwise
3: attempt only uTP

Wrong. That just means that 400 USD processor you're trying to sell was only worth 200 USD to begin with.
The AOSP git repository? Here's the announcement for 3.2: http://groups.google.com/group/android-building/browse_thread/thread/6a3b3a1c225a11f5/6f36c6c857cfe57f
How do you do that? I just spent 10 minutes wading through the various settings menus and couldn't find anything related to call recording.

No, the Shining was 1,6:1 (still, weird AR). It was just Open Matte for TV, since Stanley Kubrick hated his movies being Pan & Scanned on TV.

[..] can be proven that a power cut at ANY time of the year will ALWAYS result in a baby boom 9 months later.
From what I've read so far this is nothing but an urban mytt, e.g. this.

Read the OP again. Avatar is one of the most pirated and most sold movies currently. There's also no 3D version for sale, AFAIK.

Don't get it either - just click on "Hide" and it's gone. My Options show that I'm currently blocking 10 Apps, that's getting rid of most of the Spam.
Ghostery seems to be fishy, being owned by an advertising company. Easy Privacy filter for Ablock Plus might be a better solution.

Exactly what I thought when I opened it. Very refreshing.

So, that's Sign language? I think I speak that, too: 24/f/Burkina Faso.
