Alpha decay of radioactive isotopes, such as uranium - an alpha particle is identical to a helium-4 nucleus. The helium's trapped in the same sort of impermeable rock that traps oil and natural gas.
How about releasing a full installer of the latest revision, instead of this idiocy where we have to download 9.3.0 from their website and then manually tell it to install 9.3.2? It can't be/that/ hard.
I just don't see that it's a big deal, and I'm a rather technical user who's been known to copy-paste urls on a regular basis.
Your extension-hiding analogy is flawed. To be closer to the security-threat that is hidden extensions, you'd need a browser that hides.com and other TLDs in URLs. That would be seriously sub-optimal - "hey, does slashdot/user.pl go to the real site, or slashdot.ru?"
http is the only hidden protocol that I've noticed, which is fine because it's the most common, so you'll know things are unusual when you see the protocol in the address bar.
You're going to need at/least/ 4GB of RAM to run a virtual machine well on OSX, which I can tell you from experience - one of my users bought a Mini recently with 2GB, and it runs like *ass* with a VMWare Fusion WinXP virtual machine running - nothing else, not even a web browser. 4GB might let Win7 run comfortably, might I say, once you've added in antivirus and want to run a few apps.
If you ever need to upgrade the RAM in your fleet of Minis, forget it - the upgrade procedure involves gentle use of a sharpened putty knife; "gentle" so that you don't break any tabs.

You laugh, but I have conservatarded and uberlibertarian friends who "think" that way.
It's job security for us computer janitors, but still fucking annoying that their security is so bad.
Well, you know. Hitler was from Austria.
You're not factoring in the irrational hate some people have for Obama.

Photons also interact with gravity - stellar masses and above can cause gravitational lensing.
I can hear teabaggers screaming about socialism already.
Neat. Nitpick, though: 9.3.2 will apply directly to 9.3.0, so you don't need the intermediate step.

The triple slash was a Slashdcode fail. FTP:// is still shown, so for the moment it appears to be just http:/// that is hidden.
Dunno about using X idioms to copy/paste, and I'm not on a *nix machine right now.
Why? Should you need to copy-paste a URL or part of one from the address bar it'll Do The Right Thing and pre-pend http:/// to it.
I can't see much use for showing the protocol for most people otherwise.
Och aye? The Win32 version I just installed a couple hours ago didn't say that.
Be helpful to know what platform you're on.
I've seen HP mono laser printers go for $150. Newegg's got a Brother mono laser for $70 + $2 shipping right now.
Un-possible! A Slashdot headline that's sensationalist and panders to its ignorant libertarian demographic?
Brilliant.

Why is a mouse when it spins?
We admit that we're full of shit - in fact, that's the whole point.
...because the founder Hubbard was mentally ill (but didn't want to admit it) and was certain he knew better than psychiatrists how to treat himself.
Yeah.
No kidding. I thought that was a kdawson story, but I owe him an apology.
FTM, find me a 386 system whose parts will still be reliable in five years.
Any more a modern computer's hardware will fail before the system becomes too underpowered to be useful.
Not if you cheap out. A couple years ago a department wanted the cheapest laptop possible... you know the rest.
SCIENTOLOGIST SPOTTED.
DOSBox can emulate the MT-32.
