Maybe the reason the location of the cable was "secret" is because the cable was laid without proper procedures and paperwork.
Maybe there were no fancy detection systems, just a couple of guys waiting in an empty lot around the corner and a middle management guy in a murky office somewhere praying for the cable not to get cut and hoping that he will avoid the shitstorm coming his way. It's not like the construction site was a secret and it's not like those things pop up overnight.
There is also the possibility that the study defined the netbook as the article does:"low-cost laptop computers that are optimized for simple tasks like surfing the Web and e-mailing." This includes the whole market of 15 inch, ten pound laptops that most of us don't consider a netbook.
They are taking preorders. The tablet part by itself costs 299$, the tablet + keyboard (netbook) is 399$. The shipping is supposedly included in the price.
Exuse me, are you being sarcastic? If so I apologise.
First you say that one shouldn't mention their sexual orientation without a reason and then you say you are gay. Maybe for you, making a point on Slashdot is a reason enough to mention it, maybe for her seeing it on her profile is a reason enough. Some find Jews uncomfortable to be around, should we also abstain from mentioning ethnicity or nationality because of some hateful individuals?
The term "substantial" trust fund, coming from the same person saying that the few hundred quid the kids got paid is a lot because it is three times the average salary of someone living in the slum, doesn't mean much, does it? Also the trust fund will be available to the children actors only if they stay in school until they are 18. Too bad that until then they will be living on one meal a day in makeshift shacks, one can only wonder if they will last until their 18th birthday to enjoy the "substantial" amount of money that has been put aside for them. Interesting, that Fox doesn't setup funds like that for their child actors in the States...
Yes, let's all be merry and celebrate the distributor's generosity. The fact is, that the kids still live in tents while the movie is making copious amounts of money (almost 160 000 000 $ so far).
Also, the diffusion of responsibility is a wonderful thing: those guys made more, those guys made less, those guys just work here, those guys have mortgages to pay and those just followed orders.
Sweet justice that governs this world doesn't cease to astonish me. The kids from the slums that played main parts in the movie get paid with chump change, the movie is a success, gets 8 Oscars, the kids get a plane trip to the US for the Oscar gala and get dumped in the slum afterwards, producers sip lattes and count the profits, people are touched by a beautiful story of love while stuffing their faces with nachos, the kids are forgotten, continue to live in poverty.

I understand. You found paradise in America, you had a good ping times, you made a good connections. The firewalls protected you. And you didn't need a friend like me. But uh, now you come to me and you say - 'Give me bandwidth.' But you don't ask with respect. You don't offer friendship. You don't even think to call me System Administrator. Instead, you come into my house on the day my daughter is to be married, and you, uh, ask me to take down some servers for money.
If it was supposed to be a KGB/CzK (Cheka) era tactics, the guy would be arrested, beaten unconscious several times, he would denounce his accomplices, whether he had them or not, then the process would be repeated until the whole "reactionist / imperialist cell" would be incarcerated. Series of spectacular trails would follow, resulting in death and hard labour sentences.
Don't get me wrong, they wanted the guy dead and probably murdered him. I just think that they lack ferociousness of officers without high school education of the olden days.
Also on purpose I'm not defining "them", the decision could be made on regional, not necessarily federal level.
Well, in this particular case (an API) one can safely assume that most of the people reading the news and responding to the polls have some intention of using the product.
... then hosed down the interior and left an inch of standing water on the floor boards. Now, you tell me why any average person has reason to do that. I can tell you that in 20 years of car ownership and six different cars, I have never once taken the passenger seat out of my car, thrown it away and then hosed down the interior,... Obviously, Sir, you never owned male cats and you never had to take them to a veterinary to get them castrated.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought this is one of the most prestigious law schools in the States. In this prestigious law school lecturers can't keep order in their classes in ways other than school-wide edicts. They don't sound like qualified educators to me...

Upgrading hardware is a task suited for someone who knows what he/she is doing. You can still run your system in safe mode (even graphic safe mode with Vesa drivers), or press CTRL+ALT+F1 to get a text teminal but i digress. The important fact is that when one is upgrading hardware, one should follow instructions specific for the system currently in use. If your card vendor doesn't provide instructions for linux installation, one should know better and find it on the internet. You can't blame any OS for that. It is like a problem I've encountered a few years back when people started upgrading their HD's to Ultra DMA/66 capable, running them in that mode without the 80 wire cable, causing system halts and data corruption. The OS can not stop you from messing your computer up if you really want to. Through I have to admit I always wondered why a desktop friendly distro doesn't prompt the user to run dpkg-reconfigure if X fails to start.
"Now suppose I can identify the 10 at highest risk. For that one true positive I now have nine false positives," Berk said, "and that may be something we choose to live with."
Pardon sir but will those nine false positives consider it something they "choose to live with"? The program is hardly worth mentioning, considering there are a thousand and one theories why people do horrible things and this software reflects only one and based on one set of inacurate statistical data only.
Hey last time I checked encyclopedia is derived from greek and it means (not literally) "general knowledge", so Wikipedia has every right to call itself that. If someone uses the argument that meaning of the words evolve then I send this one right back at you and Wikipedia is redefining the meaning of the word "encyclopedia" for the 21st century.

Shouldn't that be "das Jahr des Linuxdesktopkomputor"
Or maybe, "2008, der Linuxdesktoprechnerjahr"
Firefox actually does that - it opens the EULA in a tab. You don't have to agree or read it. (Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex - 8.10 - latest alpha).

FYI "paideia" in greek also means knowledge, culture and upbringing (good).
