Then you had all your childhood memories destroyed by seeing the awesome black survival suit Darth Vader asking about his loved one, being told she was dead, and screaming like a little girl.
Seriously, is it even possible to destroy a character more than what Lucas and Christensen did to Vader?
Unfortunately, we (still) can't. What we have now is basically conclusive proof that the particles that are known to exist (meaning everything that is part of the standard model) can only account for a few percent of the total energy of the universe.
What we need now is to prove one of the theories that go beyond the standard model and include more particles. Some (like supersymmetry, technicolour and Kaluza-Klein type models) include naturally particles that can explain the "dark matter".
Note that this article is totally unrelated to dark matter. It shows identification of "where is the baryonic matter", or "what happened to all the hydrogen we know existed at the reionization epoch". Nothing to do with new physics.
The fact that NAV has a "removal tool" says a lot about the program. I guess Norton (and the other antivirus companies) still weren't able to add support for their programs to remove it directly. Like a new virus or something.
Actually, no. If they broadcast spherically or in a beam towards us, there is nothing that would deflect the neutrinos and not the light: we will be able to pinpoint their exact arrival direction. We will see, say, 1000 neutrinos of PeV energies from one 1Â angular window, and 10 from the rest of the sky. Unless we are really unlucky, there will be no natural PeV neutrino source (GRB, AGN, etc) at that window, so we will at the very least know there is something there. Some parallax calculations and planet-searching later, we will probably find them.
However, almost all of those developers are just doing it in their spare time. They don't get paid for it. They have no agendas, they only write the code for what they think would be fun/good/important/educative/etc. They don't have to work for something they don't like, don't feel comfortable, or where their ideas aren't welcome. See this case for example: they were trying to work within Gentoo, but it wasn't going anywhere - so they forked away. Who is to tell them that they should just suck it up and stay there? Or even go work with, say, Ubuntu (which has a totally different philosophy)?
You can't say that, unless you pay them and they take the offer. Until then, they are free to work with whatever they want. They are happy, so they are more likely to work properly. Some users will like what they write, some will never know about it. That is the beauty of FLOSS.
And I am sure it is clogging the networks of Comcast and other network providers. Actually, p2p corresponds to a much lower fraction of an ISP's total usage than you'd think; at least that is what the only full data straight from one of them says.
Why should other distros adapt to Ubuntu's timeframes? Fedora is already in a 6-months schedule; OpenSUSE releases aren't time-based but feature-based; Mandriva has their own 6-month schedule; and so on. It works for them.
If Shuttleworth is so keen on having synchronized releases, he should move the next Ubuntu to match, say, the next Fedora. This will give him and the users the benefits he wants without needing any interproject discussion.
We've been using ethanol without problems here in Brazil for decades. Almost all new cars sold here can use either ethanol or gas. Every gas station has a 50-50 split on gas/ethanol pumps. Ethanol is way cheaper than gas (at least while the sugar cane production is not at its low point), cheap enough to compensate for the lower energy density; and that is without any government subsidies. The US program may be a failure due to the use of corn, but ethanol as a fuel source is very far from vapourware.
Russia? Of course! See the evil government who doesn't agree with the USA!
France? Of course! They didn't even want to enter an illegal war along the USA!
U.S? This means there are terrorists operating inside the American borders, targeting the people of the USA! They must be stopped! Bush needs to be given emergency powers to stop this threat!
One thing I learned on this past few years: never accept "new physics" results from Belle/BaBar. Flavour physics is complicated, the statistics aren't that well understood, there's lots of systematics to be taken into account, and they usually make big announcements. I believe it was with B_s that each claimed a three-sigma deviation from the standard model (but each one was on a different side of the SM prediction), and after a few months both results converged to the SM prediction.
Other thing is: big claims require big evidence. And by "big evidence" I mean at the very least seven sigmafrom the prediction. We have a lot of things that are "incompatible with the standard model" at one or two sigmas, but nobody claims that those actually prove new physics. People just jumped the gun on this one.

Bullshit. We all know BSD is dead. Netcraft confirmed it long ago.

Very interesting idea here.

1987a is definitely younger than him, but that's kinda cheating...
