How about this?:)
Seriously though, I've heard good things about Cosmology: The Science of the Universe, by Edward Harrison - although I can say no more than that.
Well in TFA, Microsoft claim to be "bridging the digital divide" - seems to me that if that were the case, they'd be taking computers to where there are none, rather than trying to replace existing Linux installations.
I remember watching a 'documentary' some years ago that showed that Man had received communications from Extra Terrestrial lifeforms. It turned out that the aliens were communicating in binary and in response to the images of humans and the genome that we sent out on a probe, they returned circuit diagrams. It was concluded that they were in fact artificially intelligent beings that had become estranged from their creators.
The show was very professionally and convincingly presented and I was completely suckered in - having missed the introduction to the show which I later discovered was called "What If?".
I believe the only point the GP was trying to make when mentioning Das Kapital and the Unabomber manifesto is that both works are very long and wordy - no more, no less.
Personally, I've never liked installing from a liveCD. Not sure why - maybe I somehow feel that it's more 'complete' - but I've always preferred a dedicated installer disc.
Whilst it's useful that customers have enough problems to keep you in work, if they have too many they'll likely conclude you're not doing a very good job.
Because consistency has long since evaporated. There are plenty of commercial sites running a.org and the.net tld is nowadays meaningless (unless the meaning is "I couldn't afford a.com"). Also, think of all the organisations that use another country's tld, rather than their own. (.tv anyone?)
Oddly, I thought your point was clearer the first time!
As it happens I do quite enjoy The Gadget Show (UK) - although it doesn't always go into as much detail as I would like, and suffers from an occasional bout of "oooh... shiney!".
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in this film they aren't yet the command staff, are they?
My understanding is that this film is set back when the future Enterprise crew are still in the Academy.
these two episodes gave me more information in two hours than I could gather watching every single major TV news show for weeks.
Couldn't agree more, and I've only listened to the first so far.
From a UK perspective, I've missed out on much of the information in this show - I knew of the sub-prime crisis, but had no idea of the reasons why so many bad investments were made. Most coverage here simply glosses over the fact that mortgages were given to people with bad credit and fails to delve any deeper.
I was also aware of how things were exacerbated because of the uncertainty of who owned which loans - the show was a huge eye-opener in this regard as I discovered not only how this came about, but also how massively more complex the situation is than I could have presumed.
These links are perhaps the most valuable ever posted on/., so thank you very much.

They are in league to create a new Access of Evil!
Please tell me that was a pun, and I've missed the joke. (Pre-emptive self-whooshing)
I'm reminded of this story from a few years ago, where a 500 year old Leonardo drawing inspired improvements in mitral valve heart surgery.
And according to Apple, nothing is wrong at all. Trust Apple, and all will be well.

Warty Warthog was released in October 2004. Microsoft first announced the Zune in mid-2006, releasing in November of that year.

If one dies, are you going to be spending time and money to send it in for warrantly repairs?
No, if one dies you just give his console to someone else.
Looking at it from the outside, I felt that Kerry was the guy in the right place at the right time.
So where is the Galactic equivalent of the RIAA - the people sharing the music from those stars must be stopped!
Well, there's .spameggsausageandspam.
That's not got much spam in it.

It's improper because they didn't pay the damn subcontractors. It's incredible that they sustained it for three years.
It seems we're getting dupes from a parallel SlashDot.

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a GNU?
And your cell provider will become your ISP. And all will be right with the world.
In the UK at least, that already happens.
...the inside of the shuttle and space suits...
I really don't want to know what the inside of the space suit smells like.

After being gently broiled by a hot laptop for hour after hour, no, probably not.
