Unix has a very different way of handling executable files than Windows. In Windows, the extension is what makes a file executable. In Unix the x permission makes an executable.
Since files are created without x permission by default, the user has to explicitly give this permission in order to execute the file. In Windows, execution is automatic.
Please, stop using the word soccer. The real name of the game is FOOTBALL. It goes for that name in all the world but the US (even in Italy, even if there it is also called Calcio)
What americans call Football is called in the rest of the world American Football or US Footbal.
Regarding this scoring method, how would a player with an outsanding dribbling like Garrincha be rated?
The first time that this machines were used in nationwide in a presidential election, Fernando Cardozo was the president and the election was won by Lula da Silva, who was the opposition candidate.
So if the government that put this system in place lost the election, it means that it is pretty safe.
Psilocibin, the psicoactive component of psicodelic mushrooms is excreted in the urine. So it is not uncomon to keep that urine for drinking when there are no mushrooms available.
Are the books in English? Since the OLPC is being shipped to many countries where English is not the primary language, if they don't offer them in the local language, I doubt that this will be usefull.
BTW, I'm from Uruguay, where all the students from public schools were given an XO. This is called Plan Ceibal.

You seem to imply that Creationism is also a theory. Creationism is not a theory, it is just a fantasy. Logically, it is the same to believe in Creationism than to believe in the FSM or in Santa Claus.

Sadly, this is another reason why the establishment won't legalize it......
Just think what is going to happen with all the money that goes into research and treatment, all the medical industry involved if a cheap alternative is introduced.
A plane flying at over 10.000 meters is out of range of the cell phones bases. A typical cell phone tower has a range of 2.000 meters at most.
So in a plane there is no signal for the cell phone.
You can get a signal for a short period of time after takeoff and before landing, but not during the flight.
And as a side note, I would hate to have some asshole yelling at his cell during a night flight.....
