I don't see why the conversion of carbon into biomass in any way negates their stated goals.
This triggered a bloom of phytoplankton, which doubled their biomass within two weeks by taking in carbon dioxide from the seawater. The dead phytoplankton were then expected to sink to the ocean bed, dragging carbon along with them.
Pfft. There are (Ubuntu) books at the local Borders are 50%-75% the price of Canonical's, and I could have it in less than an hour. If Borders is beating you on price YOU'RE DOIN' IT WRONG.
Just broadcast the (encrypted) data out into the void. When you need to retrieve it, simply invent a FTL drive and jump as far as the desired data will arrive shortly after.

That's probably because breaking the DVD regions is the DMCA equivalent to jaywalking: It's just not ususally worth the effort to prosecute.
Will this Ubuntu release be using 2.6.29?
I doubt it. Aren't the odd-numbered point releases the "development branch"?
what happens if *ubuntu becomes profitable?Most likely means that at least one major monopoly has been broken...
What, Red Hat and Novell aren't profitable?
Finally, someone has broken the 25+ year old too-many-open-windows-and-chaos desktop paradigm
Palm? DOS?
The only thing I really want to see is how this thing is charged.

You're missing a 'great' in there. You are also missing the 'BSD' next to it.
The system relies on sending sound waves that locate objects by bouncing off of them.
Thank you! Simply saying it relied on SONAR would have left us all completely befuddled.
Linus is on Slashdot?
What about us that don't have a router that is explicitly supported? (version number is diffrent)
Why do your users know or care about the existence of NAT?
You don't have anything you want to learn or do that could make you a more productive employee if only you had the time to fiddle with it?

How many times have you hit "Submit" on Slashdot, and immediately spotted some typo?
Adolescent and irresponsible.
Yes, Lord Ender said that already:
...some of us were naked when they showed up. Since I know most of you didn't attend...
Duh. You can tell because the police were merely incapacitated by your bright whiteness, not permanently blinded.

Better hope he left on good terms...
I'm aware, but MS has enough money to run for years without making a dime.
Fixed That For You
Kind of insane really since being an MCSE doesn't mean shit if Microsoft crashes and burns and isn't around to write patches for you anymore.

any hard-coded data on silicon is just data on a stone slab.
Ceramic and glass are both stone, right?
Did you know that if you stick the same disk back in, you can fit the entire backup on a single floppy?
