God here. I just upgraded the universe server to PhysicsOS 1.1. Some users may notice a change in proton size due to the new quantum mechanics engine, but unless your working with the OS directly, this shouldn't be a problem for you.
While opening a bunch of feed items (including this one) which included several different websites, I was prompted to download "like.php" which is a kind of thing that happens when websites set bad headers...
None of my tabs failed to load, so I'm guessing this came from a rogue advert (?)
I don't have a facebook account though, so I'm not worried.
I was worried about getting sued by one of those patent holders. As much as I copy these genes, they could have sued me for all the money in the world.
At least that's why I don't buy many PC games. That and the fact that I'd prefer a native Linux version, but theres lots of computers I wouldn't mind dual booting to play.
I knew scientists were working on bring quantum mechanics to "big" items, but I never thought a car that can travel two paths at once would have happened in my lifetime.
The KDE interface that comes with Ubuntu will be very familiar to Windows users. The only major difference is in the click/double-click setup, but that can be changed in the "System Settings" dialog (in KDE by default, a single click will open a file, which can be annoying if you are used to Windows)
However, you need a fairly powerful machine to run it comfortably. Anything that is "Vista Ready" or "Designed for Vista" will run it just fine. If you have more of an XP machine, Ubuntu can be tweaked to be more "Windows-like"
But we all know that having a pattern of magnetic fields on your hard drive platter that can be interpreted as an artist's rendition of a fictional character is just as bad a raping and killing child.
(Note to self: create an image format that interprets the Windows kernel as cartoon cp)
For those of you who blow of volunteering, one day, maybe when you know your days or numbered, or right before you die, you will wonder what your life is worth. I know it sounds like a cheesy cliché, but I mean it.
You'll see it one day after you can't work anymore and most of your friends and family have died or ruined their lives, or maybe after some tragic event where someone saved you, or you caused/let someone die. The material thing that you call your "life" will be gone and you will wonder if you were helpful to the world or hurtful to it.
The memories of your little vacations will decay along with your brain, but the fact that your life helped make another person's life better won't
Any net neutrality law that could make it through congress would be worthless.
Comcast justifies throttling bittorrent traffic by saying that bittorrent traffic slows down other users' connections making their service unreliable, and the politicians don't know any better.
Unless it's either written or enforced by completely unbiased technicians (with the assistance of a few legislators), a net neutrality law would only give companies like Comcast a new place to dig up loopholes and lies.
all justified by dramatic images of families and children dieing in tragic plane crashes. Even though, its a farce. Those same children are WAY more likely to die in random car crashes, or from the flu than some terrorist act.
I think this is a great example of creativity. Microsoft managed to completely change up the dated blue screen, while keeping the acronym that we all know and love from becoming obsolete.
Though I do suppose that the text should be a different color than the background...
Being a high school senior, I can tell you this is pretty much what the whole educational system in America is like. People who are supposed to be helping others learn instead just do whatever takes the load off their shoulders.
They assign long work with no educational value, or give their students an assignment, go back to their computer and claim to be "grading" assignments, yet the next day give papers to other students to grade.
If parents or teachers really cared about learning they would help their kids learn, not try to associate learning with punishment as a way to keep kids out of their hair.
Punishment should be a tool to aid in learning, not the other way around.

1: Set up a *nix server at yours or a buddy's house (the latter is best, because your buddy can turn it back on if the power goes out)
2: install OpenSSH on the server
3: Learn to use SSH tunneling.
I told them that correlation is not causation, but they didn't listen.
And while we're at it, let's sue anti-virus vendors for not predicting major pieces of malware. It's clearly their fault that it happened.

...and make sure that they steal it rather than pay for it. That way, it will work with their hardware.
Sounds like an excellent marketing ploy for bottled water companies
Video games helped me out. How else would I have learned to get away from the police after running over pedestrians?
That's a little overkill.
...and lack of any knowledge of what electromagnetic waves are/do is making me sick. I have "stupidity sensitivities" so please turn off your brain.

It's not consoles killing PC gaming. It's DRM.

"Oops, sorry, wrong number."
Agreed.

I'm sure there are many quests in various MMOs that count as charitable donations

Tragedy vs. Statistic.
According to the link it's Utah's fault. I guess they have some pretty crazy IP laws there.
