Younger than most people on slashdot? I think you massively underestimate the strength of the 13-to-18 contingent around here. They may not be, in general, the most useful members, but there are more than enough of them.
I'm glad you're happy watching my pain Burning crop circles in my souls' razor brain We had no love seen but you're cutting to the chase You're chopping of my nose to spite my face
Ow, my nose! Ow, my face! Ow, my nose! Ow, my face!
Not U308, U3O8. Usually called "Uranium Oxide Concentrate". I'm not familiar with the process, but it looks like it's an empirical formula representing a mix of various different oxides (it's capable of producing a lot of them)
I wouldn't say "exactly". None of the emulators manage to emulate the SPC perfectly, and the music playing apps are just emulators with everything but basic CPU emulation and sound core emulation ripped out. We've seen it before with the SID chip, why shouldn't it happen again with the SPC?
Haha, the Slam Shuffle. Which manages to sound absolutely lousy on lower-end emulators that handle the "noise" track in the most ridiculous manner. Catchy song, but rather short. That soundtrack does better.
Seriously, you've already got your SNES version and your PSX version. If that's enough, get one of the more heavy-duty Zaurus models and run it under emulation on that;)
It's messaging, not messenging. The fact that an agent that passes messages is a messenger is a linguistic quirk, and doesn't reflect on much of anything else. That said, the only difference between the things you're talking about is UI; you can use an AIM client that works in braindead ICQ mode so that you never know what you're talking to, or you can get an ICQ client that works like an AIM client. Um, what am I thinking? ICQ clients are AIM clients. It's just a look-and-feel issue. And then there's jabber, which passes the "conversation type" along as a hint, but it's a hint that's easily overridden at the receiving end.
Conversations should either be threaded, like email, or have "instant" history like a decent IM program. The ICQ behavior is the worst of both worlds. But OTOH, offline messages were nice;)
Yeah, dammit. I've got a rather nice Sony digicam, but I have to live with media that's more expensive, slower, and isn't available in sizes over 128MB. Why they decided to create a format with a fundamental limit of 2^27 bytes, I have no idea. But I think a few of Sony's highest-end models support CF; I guess they realized that at least when it comes to the pros, inferior formats just won't stick.
Don't use FRAM in your computer. The manual says you need to change it every 6 months or 12,000 miles.

The technology for trustworthy, secure e-mail is there and isn't even really all that new. But try to get anyone to use it and they'll ask you "what the hell do I need all this encryption crap for? I'm not a criminal!"
Wow. You need to straighten them out. It's one thing if they have a policy that says "don't do stuff with your connection that breaks the law" for instance by infringing copyright, but if you're doing perfectly legitimate things with BitTorrent, that aren't blocked outright, then on what grounds did they suspend your access, and why does that sort of asinine policy persist? Is it the whole "you're not allowed to be a server" thing?
The home cooking metaphor is pretty weak. If OSS was like home cooking, then people would only run software they wrote for themselves, and not give it away. Maybe commercial software is like a menu, but open-source is more like some sort of cook-out.
GRBs are, in fact, distributed pretty much evenly around the sky, which means that they're coming from sources outside of our galaxy. They probably do occur at the cores of galaxies, but not ours. Not at the moment, anyway.
When you look at two different alternatives and decide which one will be better for you in the long run, that is economy. Therefore, economy is (pretty much) everything. You're right, though, in that most of the world is pretty much dead-set against actually thinking about anything.
You should try understanding the premise before you go driving things through it.
What it says is "Here's the differences between actual tallied votes and what various other models predict. Notice how the trends work one way in certain counties, and a very different way in certain other counties. Notice how these counties coincide very well with the counties that used e-voting. In fact, there's less than one chance in a thousand that it could have happened that way randomly."
So it shows that there's a marked increase in Bush support in e-voting counties. That doesn't prove that fraud is the cause, but if you wanted to disprove it, then you would be wise to come up with some other reason why those sets of counties happen to overlap so well. And you would be wise to note the factors that they already corrected for.
You don't read dotslash../ is for running things in the current directory./. is for reading. If you get confused when you're posting, use IE or Firefox and look at the address bar. See that pretty blue icon? It tells you what you're looking at!
Read the abstract, if not the actual paper; it's a little deeper than that. It says that Bush got more votes than expected, and that the counties where he got larger-than-expected numbers of votes are the same counties that used electronic voting, to a statistically significant level.

You can be sure that if that ever happened, he would solve the problem by yelling "I am William Wallace!"
You might have fared better if you'd have spelled incompetent right. It's like compete, people!
Solution: watch less TV. CSI is crap. ER hasn't been good for a number of years either.

No, Photoshop is a set of beautifully-painted rocks. GIMP is a set of very small hammers.
No, it wasn't -- but I did notice it and decided to leave it in ;)

I think you misunderstand the nature of "power".

Not sure where that came from, except that they have menus in restaurants... and software.
The home cooking metaphor is pretty weak. If OSS was like home cooking, then people would only run software they wrote for themselves, and not give it away. Maybe commercial software is like a menu, but open-source is more like some sort of cook-out.
Are you just making this stuff up?
