There were a couple comments on Gizmodo (by "jepzilla") about "hitting yourself" too. Can you explain why you would necessarily be hit by the projectile? I would think that the possible impact points would lie anywhere on a circle around the earth, depending on launch velocity.
What's wrong with redirecting the scientific name to the article? The point is being able to get to the article somehow. If an article has settled under a common name title that's ambiguous, you can always use the "not to be confused with" templates or just clarify in the article text.
For those interested, there is a published policy for article titles for organisms.
they can't effectively take advantage of advanced features or greater available resources in the high end phones, because they'll lose out on all of the potential customers with the lower end models.
The fact that lower-end models exist in no way prevents devs from taking advantage of the advanced features of high end phones. If high-end phones are their target market, so be it, and they can make money from sales to those customers.
The API specifies a tag that can be used to restrict installation to devices that contain the features your app requires.
One of my favorites is Feed by M. T. Anderson. It describes just the kind of dystopian future of direct-brain advertising that one of the above posts anticipates. An interesting part of the book is how private instant-messaging is used, being functionally equivalent to telepathy.
the goal should not be 'unconfigurable' but 'no configuration needed 90% of the time, and configurable the remaining 10% of the time'.
Another example of "unconfigurable" is file rename behavior in Nautilus. Click-to-rename behavior (like in Windows) was implemented once, but was later removed completely rather than making it a configuration option.
The LA Times article says that the "mastermind" Thad Roberts received a sentence of eight years and four months in federal prison. Gordon McWhorter was sentenced to 5 years and 10 months.
The others received no jail time.
Not to mention that post-legalization, they could enter the legal market for marijuana. See Legalization Won’t Kill the Cartels
Insiders say the project was a victim of 'death by 1000 cuts'...
Yep, also see metonomy

That's old. Try sudo apt-get install pyrocket -- works for nearly all of the turrets out today.

When performing a simple moving average, you need to remember all the old values at least long enough to "drop them out" of the average.

I remember when 640x480 was stellar.
640 columns of pixels should be enough for anybody!
and according to this bug, "apt-spy is no longer in the Ubuntu repository for releases newer than feisty."
http://www.wikipatents.com/ may be a good place to post the prior art. It is a site for "community patent review".
...because GTK doesn't support doing floating and dockable toolbars or multiple open files in a good way
I use gtk.HandleBox for detachable toolbars and gtk.Notebook for detachable tabs. It's a good way.
Christ, Samuel Clemens was right. It's like dissecting a frog.
Wasn't it E.B. White who said that?
Hmm.. maybe I deserve a *whoosh*
They're complimentary packages, actually, in the hardware that they support. Besides, where does the FSF endorse BSD over GPL?
It's true. http://code.google.com/p/pyrocket/wiki/RelatedWork I hacked the thing about a year ago and started this google code project. You will be able to apt-get this package in Ubuntu Jaunty.
