As one of volunteer bike mechanics (I was the short Chinese guy who spoke with an Aussie accent!) at Playa Bike Repair, let me just say that even though may of us put in long hours at that camp, it was worth the cramped hands. The respect, kudos and love that we got from our fellow Burners was humbling. I rarely had to wait in line for coffee, ice or pancakes whenever I let it be known that I was picking up supplies for our camp or that I was due on shortly for a shift. I reckon that only people who got more respect than us were the EMRs and Rangers.
And for those questioning the cost of the bike rentals, keep in mind that those rental fees not only paid for the bike transportation, but also for the also the spare parts and oils/lubricants we handed out to fix thousands of bikes throughout the entire week and to keep the generators running to power our air compressors and camp amenities.
"All of this, along with some apparent recorded visits by US military and intelligence computers."
I can't believe how many people took that and ran with it imagining some grand conspiracy that was never there. Eon8 had a live feed of HTTP referers, so some one probably thought it'd be a great joke to spoof a visit from the CIA and the Pentagon which isn't hard at all considering there's even Firefox extensions that can do it for you.
And the fun keeps on going now that the Wikipedia article for Eon8 has been nominated TWICE for deletion resulting in much flamage and sock puppetry by the SomethingAwful and YTMND crowd.
You didn't even bother reading through some of the google.cn results. If you haven't noticed, none of them mention anything about casualties.
The Chinese Government has never denied that nothing took place in Tiananmen Square on June 4th, 1989. They've just covered up the whole incident by downplaying it as a minor disturbance and insist no violent massacre took place. What they're more afraid of is the democratic ideals of those protestors being revived.
Great, you just had to invoke one of my pet peeves: an improper use of English expression "begging the question" in modern day society. You only use it to point out that someone else's argument is fallaciously based upon circular reasoning! For the love of $DEITY, it does not mean "to raise the question".
Have a good day and thank you for contributing to the death of the English language as we know it.
The proposal currently being discussed is that we shall continue to support architectures apart from x86, x86_64, ia64 and ppc, but at release time, problems regarding second class citizen architecture support will no longer be allowed to hold back releasing a stable distribution for the core four.
I went to that movie expecting a homecoming of sorts, that Douglas Adams had never left us. But I came out of movie sadder for the fact that we will never see an adaptation the way he intended it to be.
It reminded me of a punch in the guts that I felt reading "Mostly Harmless" after he had died and that the characters and the universe he created will never get the ending they so richly deserved.
I do hope that a future sequel will be a proper tribute for the creative genius that he really was.
I just have to wonder what kind of weird/random noise the thing would make if you took it into a store that has embraced RFID:
You'd hear the following:
"Store security. Please follow me. We suspect that are you attempting to circumvent our shop lifting counter measures by hacking our RFID tags with that gadget of yours."
And here is your answer from deep within the Debian Cabal. Steve Langasek is vorlon.

The drinking comes when we actually pull off a release <Netsnipe> vorlon: so how much acid have you been substituting in place of the alcohol? * GyrosGeier waits for somebody to submit it to slashdot <vorlon> Netsnipe: as Isaid, no databases were harmed in the preparation of this proposal <Netsnipe> vorlon: you're no fun.
Google said in a statement sent to reporters: "Google has become a domain name registrar to learn more about the internet's domain name system... we believe this information can help us increase the quality of our search results."
Hopefully this will reduce the number of domain parking portals that end up in their search results from now on.
One idea put forth is that Google intends to use its new capability to help more accurately index second-hand domains that exploit the ranking of the previous owner's site.

That's what you're doing.
Here's the MPAA press release that proves that the scam story was never true to begin with.
End of discussion.
That's because you aliased "/bin/su" but ran "su" instead. You're meant to alias "su".

You forgot to mention: iPod(TM) Shuffle may contain traces of nuts.
Perhaps a future iPod Shuffle accessory would implement the LCD display into the earphones/remote attachment.
Why should the player itself have a display if its going to be sitting in your pocket or clipped to your waist most of the time?
