I think the article only sums those with significant (1%?) contributions - so in other words, 24.1% of Linux is written by a group of more than 25 people who contribute rarely.
The GameStop policy is 10% off for it being used. Pretty well everything I can remember buying is 10% less than a "standard" price point. So, 17.99 used for 19.99 used, etc. 45$ used for 50$ new.
I don't know what their buyback rates are but I'm sure it's a fixed percentage as well.
You can go one further than this: you can open all your "normal news sites" in tabs with one middle-click on the bookmarks folder, then go through opening new articles into new tabs. This is how I read webcomics: I have 30 or so in a folder, and I just open them all simultaneously.
It sounds like you needed a more powerful fume hood - the whole point of the hood is to prevent problems like that! Of course, I never pulled the window down for maximum flow like I was supposed to, either...
I've worked in a chemistry lab that shared space with a lab using some really noxious amine compounds (cadaverine is named that way for a reason...).
Mostly they weren't hospital-toxic, just nasty. Whenever they had to open their fridge we cleared out of the room for 10 minutes to let the fumes dissipate up the venting hoods.
My high school did this. The chairs were extremely uncomfortable rock-hard plastic, not molded to sit well (they were slightly convex rather than concave). They were also balanced so that you couldn't tilt backwards in them. The idea was that you'd HAVE to sit up straight, and couldn't fall asleep very easily given the awfulness of the chair. It was a brilliant decision by the administrators...
Every time they run into a problem (like these stuck wheels), they'll do model experiments here on Earth with leftover rover bits and pieces. (It says so right in the summary.) The emergency experiments probably account for a large chunk of money...
AC is correct, +2/+3 is clearly a tipping point. Once you hit +3 it's downhill to +5, but it's hard to get from 2 to 3. I think this means a lot of people are still filtering at 3/4/5 when using mod points (instead of -1 or 0 as suggested).
Splitting your application into threads mean you have to get them to communicate with each other. When's the last time you met a programmer who loved communicating? There's nobody else in Mom's basement to practice on!
They really should be looking for mosquitoes in amber, not meat left on fossil bones. DNA sequences really would be more useful than protein. They can fill in the gaps in the DNA with sex-changing amphibian DNA! What could possibly go wrong?
There doesn't seem to be a first post Achievement. This is probably a good thing, it would encourage the wrong kind of posting - but it's certainly one I would have expected!

This might explain the 25 sinks, 40 doors and 200 windows in my barn.
Doesn't exactly help though.
Anyone near Kingston ont need a Pepsi cooler? Or a clawfoot bathtub? Or a 3 sink stainless restaurant counter? Or a half ton of glass panes?
No, but I could use some Mercedes parts...
Their plans for a world Dalmatian? This sounds pretty serious...

You don't need male enhancement? Did the quizzes show you were female?

So the French government should rely on American politicians' behaviors as precedent?
They get fired occasionally. Blagojevich was pretty well fired recently (Governor of Illinois in the USA): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Blagojevich

FWIW, I have the option too and my karma is "Bad".
The car passes cleanly through the building with no damage to either!
Too big to jail? Corporation size could use some downward pressure.
Based on what?
Your expertise demonstrated by your Nobel Prize in Economics?
No, no, his comment is based on peer-reviewed research! It was published recently in the Australasian Journal of Bone and Joint Medicine.

Microsoft's in-house game development is pretty good. Apple's is...n't.
Maybe it's like bringing 10,000 spoons to a knife fight?
