Fighting for the rights for women to get education is a very noble act by Malala (and she very nearly paid a heavy price for it with her life), but Snowden revealing the NSA spying AND pissing off the most powerful and most arrogant nation in the world?...PRICELESS...oooh, I'm getting a tingling feeling all over.
I've been using Linux since RH3.0.3, moving thru Mandrake, Fedora, Centos, Opensuse. When I first installed Ubuntu 6.06LTS, I thought I had finally found my favorite distro:-) I'm now on 10.04LTS and I think it's awesome. A nice compromise between power users and beginners. But I've been reading about Canonical dropping Gnome for Unity, and now Synaptic for USC..sigh....I fear the day when 10.04LTS finally reaches its EOL. I'll probably have to go Debian...or can I install a basic Ubuntu server edition and then apt-get Xorg and Gnome?

I wouldn't be willing to try to stand behind an NDA with my company at a US border -- but then again, I don't plan on presenting myself to one any more. Over the last few years, I have decided that there really isn't a compelling enough reason to travel to the US. The level of draconian crap and complete loss of rights which can ensue is just not worth the exposure or the risk.
It gets echoed a lot here on Slashdot, but an awful lot of people simply will not travel to the US again. You said it so well!
I'm a scientist, and I've been invited to visit research institutions in the US by fellow scientists. Friends have also invited me to visit them for holidays. I'd love to go. The US has got great research institutions and it is a beautiful country. But I've declined the invitations. It's just not worth the hassle of having to submit one's self to being violated by the post-911 policies.
I'll just be an armchair traveller to the US, thank you very much.
There should be a warning for migraine sufferers:-) I had to come in to work, just recovering from a migraine headache early this morning. Not being able to give up on a/. 'dare', I loaded up the page and whoaa..migraine headache came back. The rotating snake thing is like...oh shit, I think I am going to barf on the keybo
I was going to suggest they name the new element Nipponium but the chemical symbols Ni (Nickel) and Np (Neptunium) are already taken, so perhaps Sakium (Sa), their national drink.
Shouldn't it be the Aborigines or their predecessors? "Australians" only came into the picture in 1901 wth the formation of the Commonwealth of Australia.

Kc for Kimocium (kimochi....kimochi.. :-p but seriously, Rk for Rikenium or Jp for Japanium (Np for Nipponium is already taken by Neptunium :-)

Berkut:
Nice, but the F-16 had a design version similar the Su-37 Berkut way back in the early 80s...as the F-16SFW.

The F-16 AFTI and F-16 CCV are just as just as beautiful.
The vertical canards under the intake are wicked....

And I was waiting for the Americans to dismantle their Statue of Liberty and send it back to the French.......
