Have you ever looked at the daemon list for Ubuntu? It's huge.
Enlighten us Ubuntubabies. How does one look at the daemon list? And where is a plain-English (or Hebrew, please) document that explains what they all do so that an id10+ like me can decide what to disable?
Technically you can "see" the strings, since in string theory every elementary particle is a string. In string theory, any time you detect an electron or a photon, you're looking at a string. It's just that they're so small, we may never be able to tell that they're actually strings and not point particles.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understood it the particles are strings in x dimensions, and in the superplane of our 3d existence they appear as points. Just as a line passing through a plane appears as a point on the plane.
The article linked here is the only place on the web that makes the peculiar, and false, claim that Marlin is "open source". Marlin's own creators make no such claim; they only claim that it operates on "open standards", which is quite a different can of worms.
No story here, just one careless reporter and one careless./ submitter.
Or for shits and giggles, how about removing all traces of memories of sex for the unwed father of a child? Would make the paternity suit industry tons of coin, I bet.

Why, it's not flame bait any more than saying that women will no longer marry out of free will in this economic crisis, instead preferring to charge for sex, cleaning, and cooking. After all, that is what married women do, right?
I've personally moved over 20 peers' computers to Kubuntu, about half were Vista refuges. Unless someone has some software package (such as Solidworks) tying him to Windows, Kubuntu is faster, safer, and easier to use. Even hardware compatibility is not an issue anymore (other than webcams and printers). This is not the year of the Linux desktop. It is the year of the Vista desktop, like 2000 was the Year of Yeltsin.
If they followed the same sort of incremental, professional design philosophy with Windows, they wouldn't spend so much time having their user base flock to Ubuntu.
My concern is that the crane is another failure mode. And it's not clear to me what value the crane adds to justify that risk.
What most posters here are forgetting is that the retro rockets, as used on the Phoenix mission, served _two_ purposes: 1) to slow the craft 2) to level the craft
To level the craft they took reading from differing points on the craft relative to the ground, and 'steered' toward the higher point, leveling the craft. This had the unfortunate side effect of also steering the craft towards obstacles such as boulders. One could only assume that with the crane there is no need to level the craft, gravity takes care of that.
Additionally, with the rockets, tanks, and related mechanisms off the buggy, the landing weight on the suspension is greatly reduced. Thus, less risk of suspension damage on landing.
RINSE thoroughly with distilled water, and use a hair dryer to blow as much of the distilled water off as possible.
If you do use a hair dryer, use it on low heat, or better yet, cut the power to the heating coil. The hair dryer is great for moving large volumes of air, but the heat will damage your components.
You are suffering from what I like to call the "Fringe Media Censorship Bias," which is where people with marginal or fringe beliefs often attribute their beliefs lack of representation in the "media" to some sort of censorship, rather then a lack of interest from the rest of society. Some, like Noam Chomsky, suffer from this condition to the extent where they write whole books trying to rationalize that it's the "media" ignoring them and not just society in general.
I'm going to get charred for posting this on/., but this is the reason that hardware manufacturers don't supply Linux drivers. They don't hate Linux, there is simply no real interest in it.

It's nice to see that the Ubuntu fanboys have moved so quickly to 'shut up and like it'.
It took Windows fanboys a decade to get there...
That's because today's Ubuntu fanbois are yesterday's Windows fanbois.

For a minute there my subconscious thought that I had browsed to a women's magazine by accident...
Also, there were the "little" bugs , a multitude of minor but very annoying UI glitches.
These tons of "little things" add up fast, which is why I am sticking with KDE 3.5 (and therefore Ubuntu 8.04) as well. Here, just the bugs that I am involved with:

If you want page numbers, I can dig them up when I get home.
Wrong site, silly willy. On /. we mod, not dig.
Can someone please mod this story as flame bait?

Advertising + Blogs = continuance of our current model.
He just doesn't get that some people do things not for the money.

Advertising and corruption is useless when the product pushed is broken.

The terrific thing about the ribbon is that it assumes that menus and toolbars are not a quick and easy way of finding what you want.
There, fixed that for you.
It took me a few minutes to get used to a mouse back in the 80s, too; now that I know how to use one, it's intuitive.
On the internet, nobody know that you are a kitten.

I am a polar bear. Don't bother to ask me how I managed to get on Slashdot and post this, you would never believe it.

Maybe if you'd said "nobody does BSD drivers", you'd have had a point... ;)
I didn't say that because nobody uses BSD :)
