That is almost correct. Harrison Schmitt, a geologist, was the only proper scientist to walk on the moon. (TFS should have linked to his wiki page.)
More importantly, referring to him as a "former senator" is really kind of stupid, since he only served for one term, over 30 years ago. Yeah, "guy who walked on the moon" or "former one-term senator", which would you call him?
When DVD was new, many R1 anime releases were mastered from the same video tapes (probably U-matic) as the VHS releases. Though things may have been made worse by some of the early DVD mastering equipment (especially that horrible subtitle font) and over-compression, the difference you are seeing wasn't inherently the fault of DVD, just the way DVD was in that era.
The links could be two-way because the documents were all under control of the Xanadu system. In other words, it (IMHO) depended too much on centralized control. Even if data could be broken up into different servers, it seems to me that there still needs to be a centralized administration to make everything work right. The current HTTP/HTML infrastructure works quite well with anybody being able to run their own server, in spite of those pesky 404 errors that happen when the server is taken down permanently. (Geocities-style, as opposed to the 404 errors from when someone reorganizes a web site or even decides to roll the whole thing into a Flash crapplet)
The problem with an ivory-tower utopia is that it all works great until something breaks and you lose data.
How would Xanadu have handled the Geocities closing? (someone has to pay for storing and transmitting those bits) How well would it handle spam and ads? How well would it handle security vulnerabilities? And how well would the Xanadu infrastructure handle modern-day trolling? (Yeah, that paragraph I got you to transclude? It now says I SUCK COCKS.)
It's called Transclusion. Using modern terms, it's basically taking text from "the cloud" and inserting it as a reference into your document. How long it takes to reach that transcluded data, and what happens when "the cloud" evaporates is what makes it into ivory tower rocket science.
I was already pretty disgusted with how everyone has gone so nuts for Facebook, but this weekend I saw a car commercial (Chevrolet?) where the car is somehow able to read your Facebook posts out loud. Of course the one that gets read for the commercial is "GREAT FIRST DATE!" Seriously, WTF? Do we really need this? Get over it, you don't need Facebook every second of the day.
It is essential to have a sofa so that you can hide behind it during the "scary" bits.
Well it is if you're a kid or have them, that is. Hiding behind the sofa during Dr. Who is apparently a tradition in the UK, practised by many youthful Brits.
First of all, what the hell is a "drmwtq"? Is that anything like WTF DRM? Second of all, if you had even a trace of clue, you would know that OS X doesn't use X Windows at all, except as an installable package of rootless X11 for those 0.01% of users who just have to run something that needs it. Third, "Mac" is not an acronym, so don't spell it in ALL CAPS.
Especially since this problem seems to have been caused by the use of 3rd-party fan control utilities.
I think that sums it up more than anything else. It's the people who just can't resist the urge to fuck with something... and then they buy a computer made for people who don't want to have to fuck with everything all the time. And then they fuck with it. And then it fucks up. Way to go fucker.
It's not an "article", it's a link to a complaint thread on Apple's support webboard. It's not even a link to a specific message that "confirms" something.
Maybe you need to RTFA first to save yourself from looking stupid.
And I reiterate GP's question with a nice fat [Citation Needed]. Even a message number from that thread would be less useless than the link as it is.
When the spammers offer to sell counterfeit copies of Microsoft software? It's not all V!@gr0 spam, you know. Now if only Pfizer would care enough to go after spammers wholesale like that.
The bad part is that SE had just finished a data center move Monday, and that was postponed. So the quake hits days after SE has gone to the trouble of moving their MMO servers around, but before Fukushima #1's scheduled closure two weeks later. It will be interesting to see what happens. I'm just glad I was online when it was going down and got to ride out the last hour with everyone else, just like when my server got merged away a year ago.
It's not getting much press, but the Unit #1 reactor was scheduled to be closedin two weeks. (Those links don't show the exact date, but I think it was March 22.)
It's sort of like the old cliche about a cop getting shot in the month before his retirement.
...and I was using a Mac. MacTCP wasn't great, but I just checked and it was apparently freeware, and at some point Apple started including it with the OS until they wrote their own TCP/IP stack.
Nope. PuTTY wasn't and isn't shareware, which is the point here. And I do use PuTTY to this day as a simple comm program to watch the output of an embedded device that I'm programming. Minimum mouse clicks to start it, decent scrollback, no modem configuration crap or "dial up" connection model trying to spit out AT commands. Just two double-clicks and my window is up.
And I still hate that 3-button X-windows copy and paste. A couple of sloppy mouse clicks and a drag in that window the other day and I managed to trigger a debug command that reformatted the internal flash filesystem of the device. (which fortunately only contained config settings that I had backed up on an SD card) That command has since been removed because it was no longer needed.

Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
But what about Ice Nine?
I'm more interested in Geohot denying being behind last month's tsunami in Japan. Yeah, sure, you can act all innocent, but we know better.
I think what you have then is kuro5hin.org.
Better not do this in any context where sales tax could be involved, especially from tax-hungry states like New York!

Here's what Ted Nelson has been smoking.

Did they compare battery life? Oh wait.
Seriously, I think the Model 100 would be a more interesting comparison. (FYI, battery life on a Model 100 was about 20 hours on 4xAA alkalines.)

I think he means "marketing gold" in the context of "That's gold, Jerry! Gold!". Or at least I hope he does.
Interstate 410 in San Antonio, Texas is about the same circumference as the SSC would have been, only not quite as round.

Reminds me of Simon Tatham, creator of PuTTY.
From your link...
PuTTY is a free implementation of...
