"All those introverted geeks need to talk to each other, make decisions and agree on stuff. Something that they (on average) do very poorly."
That's a gross generalization. If you're comparing professions to a beach boy or a lifeguard, then yes. Amongst the "office going" professionals, no.
My set of CS friends are far more outgoing and fun than people from quite a few other disciplines. Bad generalization.
Speculation: It seems though, wikipedia results in people getting to the juicy bits of the publications faster and more often than they would if they had to go and search for their information through individual papers.
Of course, a researcher will still have to go through all the publications to get anything worthwhile.
..that humans are working nicely towards disturbing yet another 'ecosystem'. Who'd have thought, these creatures, existing for god knows how many million years, were actually waiting to drink some leaked oil.
True, but at what cost? That's exactly what I'm saying, you're just changing the way you get your water. The original source of it remains the same. This method is good only if your local water supply is using lead pipes and and you, for some weird reason, don't want free lead.
If these go wide-scale, wouldn't our air be drier? Which in turn would allow more water to be sucked up in the air from the nearby water bodies, which basically means you're getting your water through the air, or wireless (sic) if you will.
I agree! This is one of the most important updates I was looking forward to, don't know if its already sorted out or not, but it doesn't show on my Ibex.
For someone who uses the computer 100% time that he is awake, this is a very important feature.
The U.S. government could steal Linux, and it could pay 3.6% of the bailout package.
Seriously, $25 billion is still small in terms of the real economy. For example, Microsoft's operating income is $22.5 billion.
Come to think of it, Bill Gates can buy linux out of his personal fortune and sell it as the successor to Windows 7.

I can't wait for my long range tazer. Woohoo!
Thank god I didn't invest in SSD. Those are so obsolete.
..the Blue Screen of Death isn't just a namesake anymore?

Will they have a matrix mode?
It's as easy as claiming how nuclear power provides so much energy cheaply and efficiently while ignoring the risks.
Really? You thought of squids getting hit by the drill bit as the disturbance to their ecosystem? Of course, you were joking.

Mother nature also invented(sic) the sci-fi movie directors.
..most is how efficiently the bad guys always work. Its just astounding.
.. we don't have enough people on this planet already.

It was just beamed up to their mothership. Prepare for the arachnocalypse!!!
That's just their testing machine for Windows 7. Hardware up people.
What can I say? She deserved it? I mean who send $400k to Nigeria?
There's a lot to be learned from these third world countries.. one word - Efficiency.

I got mine at 600+Kb/s each too.
My $10 says you can't.
