I've always wondered about the problem of grey goo. I mean if it were possible wouldn't bacteria have figured out how to do it. I've noticed that alot of the problems inherent in nanotech seem to be reinventing the wheel when some microorganism already solved that problem 2 billion years ago.
One thing that I worry about in targeted advertising is my ability to abstain. Even without ads targeted specifically to my tastes I have a problem with buying too much crap, I don't need my psyche pummeled into submission by seeing things I *need* put on display all the time. I have come to the realization that I am no different than that child many years ago who was way too tempted by the check-out isle displays of candy, only now my desires have shifted to electronics and gadgets (oh to desire.$50 items again!)
So for the hope of one day coming out of debt, I say no to the targeted ads.
Give keepass a try. I've been using it for about a year now and I am really happy with it. It easily works on a USB key or in combination with a PC and USB key.
This is of course even funnier considering that Cheerios used to be Cheery oats. But they got sued by quaker oats and had to change their name. Cheerios history
I've always felt that Slackware danced that fine line between an easy set-up and the ability to tinker. I've tried other distros that either set themselves up for you and there is no way you are modifiying them, or you have to set everything up by hand. And so far it's the only distro that consistently works with my Inspiron 5000.
Entirely, I've bought one album off of itunes and it had massive audio distortion on parts. Really upsetting stuff to hear an extremely melodic part suffer from wave clipping. I'd have much rather bought the CD then ripped it at --vbr-new -q 1 -V 1 (overkill, but space is so cheap if I ever get a new sound system I won't have to re-encode) then what I got. Oh well.
cdparanioa. I've encountered a couple copy-protected CDs that didn't even know what hit them. God I love that program, It's saved a couple of my CDs before the originals completely deteriorated from use.
The digital zoom on that would be immense. You could take a picture in a city environment and just spend the next couple of days looking at everything you would miss at first glance. Kind of creepy, but the "neat!" factor overwhelms here.
I don't know what you were doing in chemistry (probably wearing the proper equipment) but lye burns like all hell once it gets through the first couple layers of skin.
And scientology is different than other religions, how?

One of my psychology books told the story of a world champion mnemonics person who did hack his grasp of numbers and alphabets. He quite sadly recounted the story of how he cannot now read a book without every letter bringing up some string that he has remembered in the past.
My chemistry teacher did one where he cut a liter pop in half, hooked up a bunsen burner to the cap side, and the bottle was filled with soap water. If he mixed the soap right he could get a standing column about seven feet high that he would then ignite. He did this when we were watching a movie, so all we say was the room get bright and intense heat. Needless to say it scared the crap out of us for a second.
Gentoo needs to make a version that will still compile the software on the system without having to download. Some of us don't have room mates that understand having a dial-up for 5 days straight.
SuSE has to be one of the easiest installs out there. But I've been using linux since 95 so it's kind of like seeing the forest if your the tree. I don't really expect an impartial article from a linuxworld writer. To be fair I wouldn't expect one from something like PC magazine either, since they appear to be bought off most of the time.
Well then what are we are waiting for? GPL zlib 1.4.4 (is that the right number?) and then if M$ wants to upgrade we will have them! of course this won't work, oh well.
radiation causes genetic mutation so it's possible that it caused extinction as well as increased evolution rates. It could possibly explain why evolution seems to occur in quick steps. (Honk if you know what punctuated equilibrium means!)
oh, I had read the minimum requirements on their page. Or maybe those were the suggested, anyway how did you do it? Right now I'm testing different distributions for my laptop. Each one is always missing something: Suse didn't want to detect my keyboard (really pissed me off), slackware doesn't want to do apm, mandrake doesn't like my pcmcia card, and debian doesn't like my video card. I'm giving mandrake another go but I'm open to anthing.
Did you check out the requirements on Socerer. I have looked at it in the past and it was something like 8gb hardrive and 256mb ram. That is an ungodly amount just to get things started. I can't afford to run that on my budget. I mean it seems like an interestnig distro but it's too much for my plate.

Not sure how well This is going to work but it claims to let you use a ps2 controller! No more carpal tunnel after a marathon session of Lumines.

this might help remove all those ad links.
If you can still hear the Metallica your computer isn't loud enough.
My guess would be the amperage needed to actuate phone relays would be a pretty good deterrent.
That was actually from Diamond Age or A Young Ladies Primer. Same author different book.

I think the primary question is of course, is she single?
I suppose a secondary question (assuming a negative answer to the first) would be will she provide me with a tour?
Scientology is a made up phony religon

After I read that I desperatly avoided mnemonics.
