Even if we already had three lessons dedicated to the same small piece of explenation in the book? I am talking about basic stuff like how to move a function a few Y's upward and a few X's to the right...
At my previous school we had a digital school board in advanced math class. It was pretty awesome because the teacher could teach much more during the 1,5 hours. Not that the lessons went faster because you always have these noobs that should have never taken advanced math ("I don't understand it!", "Can you explain that again?" -teaher: "Again?!")
I am living on the semi-bleading edge. I have Kubuntu with the backports repositories (latest svn builds used by Ubuntu developpers and packaged for download) and so it happens that I always have the latest or second latest builds of KDE4.
I use KDE4 because I love the technology, the Plasma design and because I am curious ofcourse.
Not much has changed since 4.1 beta1 except for a few bugs being squashed and some positive changes in stability. In fact, it seems that most of what was there in terms of widgets for the desktop and the panel are now gone! This probably has something to do with redesigning the overall Plasma art.
From my experiences with KDE4 I can only conclude that if you are not into bling-bling then KDE4 by far is not even worth considering yet.
... not because they decided to do that (although I don't care because I use FLOSS and if I really like a game I buy it), but because they are putting it out in the open. Remember the new US trade agreement 'against corruption'?
I'd like to see the maps of both the male and the female brain. The female brain is smaller but has a larger hub between the RH and LH of the brain. That is why females can think of many things at ones. Another big difference between males and females is that males fixate all the power of their brains on a single thing, while females spread the power of their brain of many things. So the male and the female brain must differ a lot. It should be quite interesting to compare both brain maps.
I don't know high or how low the level of education is where you live, but I learned all that stuff in high school. So I don't really know why you pull of the "I have a Master's degree in Statistics, a BS in mathematics, and work as a statistician"...
Really, Microsoft has no chance of pleasing you, do they?
I don't think you really get it: Microsoft opens up for interoperability, right? WRONG! They still have patents. So basically all they are doing is not helping anyone but themselves. Why do you think the FLOSS community wants the specs? So they can use it. Can they use this with patents attached? No.
But if you think MS is doing great things than name two of them. Ok one.
I do know the qwerty layout, as well as dvorak (converted that same keyboard to that for a few months), but this keyboard is different from all 'blocky' keyboards I have used before. Beige keyboards I can do without a picture.
Maybe the problem lies within the fact that I live in the Netherlands, Europe and we have a lot of different keyboard layouts here. We're an international orientated transport-/shipping country (the 2nd largest in the world) so it's no surprise a lot of different keyboards end up here.
Is there actually anything good going on in the US these days? It sounds like every day there is less privacy, more corruption, less rights, more 1984.
I do this every three months. I take a picture of it with my mobile phone (so I can see what keys belong where), disassemble it (so I can easily clean every corner and remove the chip) and then I just clean it in the dishwasher. You'd be amazed at how much crap comes out of it! It's a bit of work, but it looks all nice and shiny when you're done.
The only exceptions are graphics and audio processing, but it's trivial to write those bits in a faster, lower-level language (which is how, say, Squeak manages something as impressive as Croquet) C++ is just as fast as C when you are using the language for low level programming. You can import an entire C program into C++ without any changes. However if you use C++ for high level programming and you use certain high level functions then you may need a runtime environment for those functions.
As such, I would contend that the *vast* majority of the time, you really *don't* want a single language that can "do it all" (after all, how often do you build a cross-platform library that must be available from multiple languages?). I am not sure what you mean by "how often". Do you mean most of the time or almost never? Well, KDE4 components are accessible with scripts (javascript, phonon, etc.). Anyway, with the KDE developtment kit you can embed a media player with just 5 lines of code (as shown in their Google KDE4 release event keynote speach (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UneGtZlehTU)

If I talk to you it put voices in your head as well. And by the way, where is the "inputdev" tag?

Yes.
How is geometry underrated?
Maybe because this theory might be the most correct/less incorrect theory of all: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Exceptionally_Simple_Theory_of_Everything
Always make sure you have enough ambient light! Staring into a bulb of light in a dark area will damage you eyes.

I need (read = want) flash for movies, but sometimes I just want to block certain flash adds (especially the flashing ones) when I am reading text.
They key positioning and size differ from normal keyboards. Just check for the differences: http://www.hardwarecentral.com/graphics/screenshots/1091048923521lome343.jpg VS http://www.freefoto.com/images/04/34/04_34_12---Computer-Keyboard_web.jpg. Now you know why you too would have to take a picture of this keyboard.
I don't have a 'normal' keyboard so yes I have to: http://www.hardwarecentral.com/graphics/screenshots/1091048923521lome343.jpg

I was about to make a joke but Ctrl+Alt+Del in KDE4 beta 2 actually takes me to the log-off screen...

Be sure to clean it thoroughly because keyboards are nastier than toilets.
Is there an article on /. that questions FLOSS?
No it does not, becuase wine let's Windows apps run like Linux apps (ps -e && killall Word.EXE)
