The purpose of LHC is not to find antimatter (at least not primarily). It's purpose is to find the higgs boson and you don't need LHC to make antimatter
As we all know there will be some changes when it becomes legal to fileshare non commercially (why yes! I AM an optimistic supporter of the pirate party=)) but here is an idea that might work (the idea obviously needs refining)
A production company would produce a pilot like usual but instead of marketing it to whoever it is they are marketing towards now they market it directly to the viewers. A budget will be released and people can promise (with the force of contract law) to pay an amount of their choosing. Companies could also sponsor for the return of some product placement If they get enough money within some agreed upon time limit they will make the series and otherwise the peoples promises will be rescinded(or their money returned or however it would work in practice)
I think this could work... at least for some. Production companies may have to make do with smaller budgets depending on how willing/unwilling people are to part with their money and essentially pay for everybody who didn't pay to also watch.
There really wasn't much information in my search history that can't be found in other ways:
Apparently i search much for function documentation for different programming languages : I study computer science
I'm politically interested in filesharing (search for arguments for and against stuff and visited piratpartiet.se ) : I'm publicly a member of the pirate party
I watch a nonzero amount of porn : I'm a man
I've only looked through a few months of my search history and it was pretty interesting to see what i searched for back then
It seems they don't have a tree style tabs equivalent extension:( I would try chrome if there were but without tree style tabs there just isn't a point. But I'll check back later and hope there is one then (or maybe make one myself?)
I need tree style tabs and flash block before i consider moving to chrome. I need my browser to stay usable even with 100+ tabs damnit! Noscript is not a must but would be missed if I switched.
What features do these early adopters badly need that is made available through this fresh release?
New intel drivers! Need that flash! No problems here with karmic btw. I did an upgrade from 9.04->9.10 beta->release on my desktop and a new install on my laptop. I thought the new theme was awful though and changed it quickly to "New Wave" (customized to remove the steppers on scrollbars:) hate those things). Boot feels pretty fast. Didn't try encryption.
Pretty sure this isn't true. The ubuntu installer complained a bit when I tried it a version or two ago but it let me do it. Don't remember if the install succeeded though.
I hope that if they listen to Randall about the dangers of laptop batteries that they at least listens to his point about the relative dangers of liquids as well.
A) thought the mouse was a waste of time B) thought the iPhone would fail C) proclaimed there was no way Google would ever buy YouTube
Maybe he just overestimates peoples judgement and ability? A mouse is a lot slower for a lot of things The iphone is "cool" but not very useful How much money have google lost on youtube?
An easier way is: 1) download the DVD in your format of choice 2) purchase the DVD (optional) 3) transfer it to the device 4) enjoy 5) Backup original so you don't lose or destroy it. (if 2))
WTF! Is the right to vote taken away upon committing a felony?? That is among the most fucked up things I've heard. No wonder pot is not legalized in the US yet:)
It's not easy for a computer to multiply those two numbers! You would have to perform 2^56582998 multiplications (on a 64-bit processor) and as many additions... That would take pretty much literally forever.
Gah please don't ever put say anything like "90 amp-minutes of energy" again! Amp minutes would be a unit of electrical charge. Sorry about the nitpick.
I have to agree with the above poster. Normal porn hardly makes me excited at all. Unfortunately redtube and the like are more and more filled with professional shit (not so much literal).

Don't forget cheaper. You could buy enough computers for redundancy so at least one would last 30 years.

Sometimes, I don't even know why we the people even bother voting these days.
They don't. Haven't you looked at voter turnouts?

I would like to point out that there are laws which the majority break but the majority also agree with like speeding laws.

There is a addon for that. (MD5 Hasher)
as does windows

You can move the menus in firefox to a single icon using the compact menu 2 addon. It's pretty nice.
Linux fits easily in 16 MB ... blame nokia if 128 MB is to little.

Huh? From reading the disdainful comments regarding bottled water on /. I figured the tap water in the US was drinkable. Which is it?
Why do a clean install? I've never had problems with upgrading. (/home should of course be on a different partition just in case)
To be fair to fallout: most mutations were caused by the Forced Evolution Virus (not counting extra toes). =)
