The real question is: Chimpanzees or gorillas? Because we know that chimpanzees have long term planning abilities whereas gorillas just tend to brute force their way along. There's a perfectly good chance that over the short term the gorilla will outperform the chimpanzee but over the longer term this wouldn't tend to be true.
Fuck that, any european barista knows their shit way better than any of us non euros could wish for. Turkish coffee is easily the worlds best though, preferably right next to Cuban cigars.
It's quite ironic that everyone comments on her song containing no irony when the very existence of a song called 'Ironic' containing no actual irony is extremely ironic.
I believe they have Win 2000 and OSX clients too. It supports a web front, though I'm not sure how much functionality is exposed. The OP probably has web access though, hence the request for a browser so no worries really.
Actually, the Opera browser you can buy for the DS is fairly decent, or wait until late April for a DSi. It's not an ideal solution, but it's fine to browse slashdot with so I guess it would be ok for a library catalogue. Seems like the only solution with built in handwriting recognition at least, admittedly primitive as it is, but the stylus + kb combo isn't too bad. Better than the PSP inputs in any case.
I'm not so sure about youtube - many infringing youtube vids could be construed as fair use, especially those involving remixes, parodies or mashups, but also those that are commercially unavailable anywhere or are newsworthy.
On the torrent front, just downloading a torrent in and of itself should never be infringement - it contains links to material not the material itself. If they were equated together, so could hyperlinks meaning just by viewing a webpage with a link to copyright material you have downloaded the link, ergo are infringing even if you never click on and follow the link. Say torrents were found to be infringing, how about a torrent file that had no peers so linked to nothing, but did once upon a time. It's clearly just an index, a pointer to data, not the data itself. I can't see how a pointer is infringement any more than knowing a books ISBN number is infringement.
The onus is not on TPB to identify the data behind the torrent, it's up to the end users to not infringe. Similar to Google not being responsible for the torrents it serves up when I type in 'hollywood blockbuster torrent'.
It's not the size, its the shape and clearing of orbit. If we drop the clearing orbit and Pluto and Eris are in the club, so should be Ceres, Makemake and Haumea at least. I would like them all to go back to planet status, but it's unlikely. It's all the fault of Eris anyway, they wouldn't have reclassified poor Pluto if she was a little slimmer.
Pluto will always remain a planet to me. I'll start calling it a dwarf planet around the time I call 2^10 bytes a kibibyte or when hell freezes over, whichever comes first.
Here in Australia we have a scheme where the government loans most of the costs of tertiary education, with interest set to equal inflation only. The tax office automatically deducts payments when a certain income threshold is reached (around $40k), and you can voluntarily repay more at any time and receive a 10% discount. Effectively, anyone rich or poor can attend university and will not be burdened by the debt until they have adequate employment. It's a great system and I'm surprised that more countries don't do the same.
If it were that simple to disassemble someone else's code and automatically prove that it can't do anything wrong -- including by having security holes exploitable by a third party -- forget the browser, we'd have it standard in the OS or in the last step of make/ant/whatever.
Forget that, you could solve the halting problem, prove P=NP and create true AI. Any effort towards this will be no more or less secure than the implementation of the virtual machine, simple as that.
The lack of humility before nature that's being displayed here staggers me.
Don't you see the danger inherent in what you're doing here? Genetic power is the most awesome force the planet's ever witnessed, yet you wield it like a kid that's found his dad's gun.
If there is one thing the history of evolution has taught us it's that life will not be contained. Life breaks free, expands to new territory, and crashes through barriers, painfully, maybe even dangerously.
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
What of Richard Gaywood who was banned for using his RL name? Or the fact that he noted "Even the words "Unix" and "Linux" seem to be barred from the Real Name field, which I find rather bizarre." We don't have much proof here, other than proof that Microsoft is banning people for arbitrary and stupid reasons.
A quick search on google shows Ultimate avaliable from between $175 and $245, but usually around $200. Parent claimed $200 not $300 for windows, the $300 was the laptop price. Also, WTF does free software have to do with Vista Basic?
Apart from the fact that obscurity is not really security at all, why do you think a patch posted to the front page of slashdot and dozens of other places on the net is somehow obscure?
They plant bugs on terrorists. They wiretap everybody. They hate Skype and its ilk because it's a stumbling block to Total Information Awareness, not a tool we desperately need in a war against a military tactic.
I'm not squeamish about it in the least, I just think it shows a massive deficit in not just their sanity but their ability to get the job done under intense isolation and stress. Not to mention anyone involved in organising something like this should be charged with 1st degree murder. Putting a price on a life is inhumane, but not as much as sending someone to their certain death. I would want a crew that fought for their lives to their last breath, not one who will willingly accept death.

Here's an interesting look at what it takes to enter the Christian music scene. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmOUnZDJxO0
Secrecy needn't be out of guilt or fear, it's just common sense. Very common apparently.

While you're at it, you (and the GPP) could throw a little money to EFA as well if you like.

Don't forget how he loved to 'probe' every electric orifice he ever passed by...
