His technology is not based on any known Earth technology. To us, he appears to be violating physics, but in reality he's fully compliant.
Remember, reindeers and sleighs are metaphors for advanced technology. Haven't you played Tomb Raider Underworld? He could be travelling in a planetary warp bubble, or time travelling (enabling him to spread out the workload over 300 days), or something.
Remember, Santa is not based on any known Earth technology. Reindeers and sleighs are mere metaphors for advanced technology. Haven't you played Tomb Raider Underworld?
He's now flying to Alaska as I write this. Hey, I can see Russia from my bedroom window!
there's a lot of interpersonal relationships (as you put it) in the actual doing of math. Asking questions, explaining your results, mentoring students, even teaching classes -- a lot of math involves other people.
The ONLY solution is to ban cell phones in cars. There is absolutely no reason to talk in a car anyway - no exceptions. Got to talk? Pull over.
Certain lawmakers and authorities may rejoice, if they know you think this way. More revenue from traffic fines, and faster career advancement from more arrests!
Plus, since we're implementing hands-on-steering-wheel sensors, why not put more technologies at the same time? GPS monitoring, in-car surveillance - their incremental costs are minimal.
I just got back from Singapore... virtually all the netbooks ran Windows.
Singapore is very much a pro-Windows place. The Linux and OSS community here are rather small. OSS meetups consist of 10 to 30 attendees, with one-third being familiar faces.
That's one reason why Linux has not gained widespread acceptance. Because of these people. They and their elitist way of treating other people, are part of the problem, not part of the solution. Just one of them can more than undo the efforts of 10 helpful people.
I wish I know how to contact these people, so I can stick it to them, "Hey shut up already! Either you find a solution to these outstanding problems (which you KNOW is true - or not), or shut the fuck up!"
Sorry for trolling. Please mod this down. But I really need an outlet right now.
Btw, anyone knows how to get Firefox to work fast in Linux (Gnome or whatever)? I find that it works 2-3 times faster in Windows XP on my Eee PC than in Debian LXDE, when having multiple Slashdot tabs open.:( I've searched Google but there's not many practical solutions that I can apply. Ditto for SeaMonkey, IIRC.

But it isn't the same taste or smell. (Even if it gives me the same boost in alertness.)
There's something peculiar about men ... they love their sliced bread and coffee to death, even when there's so many other alternatives.
Men are strange, aren't they?
A line of 10 girls, similar body build and age, doing synchronized actions?
there's a lot of interpersonal relationships (as you put it) in the actual doing of math. Asking questions, explaining your results, mentoring students, even teaching classes -- a lot of math involves other people.
Yes, but do any of these involve actual girls?
Sorry, sorry, I'm just joking here.
Frustrated by the phone's various quirks, I brought it to a Verizon store a few weeks ago to have it reflashed.
I'm unclear about Verizon stores. Is it a Verizon Wireless or Authorized Retailer?
its more likely that I'll see a stable, bug and exploit free version of Windows, from MS, under a BSD license, with no charge, in my life time
You'd just need to go back in time and influence Bill Gates to the Open Source ideals.
Time travel - how hard can it be?
quantum computing has about 3 to 4 billion other issues that are 'just around the corner'.
Compared to time travel, which merely has a few million issues.
Thank goodness I don't have a mod point right now.
It is a mobile phone. A mobile phone is a tool for speaking from one place to another ...
or a Harley Davidson motorcycle.
or a home.
or a computer desktop.
or a bedroom wall.
I'm pretty sure we can find something of yours, that is a tool for everyone else, but has long became a part of your personality.
No, no, it should be "amplitude is inversely proportional to time between activations".
Which means amplitude is proportional to frequency of activations. In fact, I think it's exponentially proportional.
As most Slashdotters here will testify from their tremendous personal experiences, right?
I don't know how OSS and "small reusable components" work, so your post is very interesting indeed.
A codeproject article explaining how to track UAVs and plot their location using silverlight.
But I don't understand the line above. Is there a whoosh that just flew over my head?

"g-spot"
They still don't come with a manual.
So do you want your ass Googled or Binged?
That's disturbing. It brings me the mental image of seeing all Goatse images in my Google and Bing search results.
Opps, shouldn't have said it...
I read every line twice but I still don't understand your joke. Can explain?
... it takes the characters you've come to know and love, and puts them in a situation where they don't act like themselves...
Now I understand. Thanks for explaining.
Did you wrote this, for other readers to link to the Gnome-Look story?
I bow to you, O' Wise and Humorous One!
Sim Lim Square prices, as compiled by a third-party website.

It's not a complete list, and not very updated though. I have long given up looking at prices at this website.

Apparently no words can accurately describe Microsoft other than its name.
Micro and soft? I don't understand.
Use an accelerated FF build from a third party.
Thank you, I'll give it a try. This is also the first time I've heard of Profile-Guided Optimization. I'm humbled.
(I wonder how long (or how many SBUs) it takes to compile just one profile.)
I don't think you should be marked Troll. In fact, *I* should be marked Troll.
Where is the "elitism" in the previous conversation?
Sorry, I over-reacted.
Try chromium though, it'll blow the socks off of firefox wrt performance
Thank you, I'll give it a try.

Hell you could probably power the entire south with the revolutions that man is turning in his grave.
May he rest in peace.

I like the "wrap wires on body" idea better - it probably results in higher revolutions.
