why the fuck would a terrorist get a fucking blackberry?? or post on fb/twitter? gsm sims are available @Rs5 each across the whole country and minimal documentation is required. really, all you need is a xerox of *some* id, even uni id will usually be enough. and then you have 300 texts free every day, which should be a terrorist's wet dream.
maybe they anticipated that a plane might crash into the towers and designed them in such a way that collapse would cause minimal damage to the surrounding buildings?
How about this. Have we actually been through the best Linux desktops, and thats it? I quite like Linux, and its always been a struggle to keep it as a primary desktop for a number of reasons, but I always have some machines around.
I used to like KDE3.x moderatly. I could get on with it. I detest KDE4 - Huge stupid menu's and frankly a crap desktop.
Gnome 2. Simplistic but works. Apparently is all hacked at the backside, and the devs want to escape the simplistic desktop they made. GNOME 3. A steaming pile of shit. Apparently its idea is to be a touch screen type interface, and a complete screwup for a desktop interface. Numbers of users - 0% phone users - 100% desktop users. GNOME 3 developers and everyone involved are either the most stupid people ever to be left in charge of a desktop, or amongst the most arrogant. GNOME 3 is a steaming pile of crap. And any distro trying to force that on its users will pay the price.
Unity - Another GNOME 3. Number of touch users ? 0% Number of desktop users 100%. But they added a magic ingredient. Arrogance and stupidity in the same guargantuan quantities.
What does this mean, the linux desktop is devolving, losing customisation, and producing less and less choice, not more. The desktops users are choosing desktops *they* would not have chosen. They are being driven downwards to lesser desktops. And a serious note, GNOME 2 was a bit windows 95 in nature. Basic, and a bit lacking in customisation, saved by Compiz to make it 'interesting'. Without having that very desktop, one which many distro's wisely chose to use as their standard, Linux is heading for trouble.
And yes, I've tried XFCE, and others. Its no use forcing people to use a desktop 'worse' than GNOME 2 in 2011. If thats the actual way this is going, then fine. A fierce price is going to be paid on this.
Choices have to be made very swiftly, because unless someone continues GNOME 2 or unless someone comes back with a decent proper desktop - none of this is good. And the new primary desktops - GNOME 3 and Unity can't do multiscreen properly? In 2011? Get fucking real.
Radiation is just a scary word for light. Lightbulbs cause radiation. Heat is radiation. Your own body emits radiation. Cancer is only caused by radiation that is at wavelengths that can damage DNA.
its not just lack of education, there's a general atmosphere of misinformation in news sources. my mother (a civil engineer) thinks cellphones and laptops(!) cause cancer, if operated too close to the body. this is due to misleading, sensationalist reports in newspapers and tv. and these guys doing all these contradicting studies are not helping either.

this guy is one sick person.
skynet went rougue minutes after it was initiated.
and two accords.
seems to me it was great design. how many buildings have you seen standing after a fucking jet crashes into them?

wikipedia is supposed to be "the sum of human knowledge", not a compilation of notable sources.
presbyopia is just far-sightedness caused due to age. color schemes do not matter, font sizes do.

The state of the linux desktop is diabolical.
windows and osx are actually quite nice.
i mistook '->' for '>'.
how would it be inferior? however i agree it would be too tedious to do for more than a couple of songs.
i can record anything that plays through my speakers. ever heard of stereo mix?
offtopic, is it my browser or links in comments have stopped working?
i always wondered why minecraft looks so primitive and still needs such high system requirements. now i know.
every damn cell phone these days has a jvm installed in it.
please look at your own link first. the data shows temperature rising before co2 concentration.
today's cordless phones use a frequency in the range of bluetooth, also the transmitting power should be much lesser than a cell phone.
more than likely their car audio system already supports bluetooth.
haha. does politics make normal people stupid, or do stupid people become politicians?
the comments seem to be more logical than the article.
this is a very ignorant article. i'm surprised it was published on sci am.
your sequence seems to be in order of wavelength, not frequency.
Radiation is just a scary word for light. Lightbulbs cause radiation. Heat is radiation. Your own body emits radiation. Cancer is only caused by radiation that is at wavelengths that can damage DNA.
