As a user, I'm pretty confident in woody, I'm using it myself at work at at home,.... It's testing pretty damn solid as far as I can tell.
Been using woody on half a dozen desktops at work, for about 6 months and while at first there were definite gnome problems which thankfully have dissapeared waaay into the past. And it's a pity that galeon wont be there, but I suppose it is a little unstable (gotta love the crash recovery though!)
Is it just me, or does it sounds like this guy is talking about an orgy?
IANAP (I ain't no freakin' physicist), but I don't get this -- if this scenario is true, then where does the parallel universe go? Doesn't it take energy from the same universe we're in? If so, is there a finite amount? If every time someone uses a time machine a parallel universe is created, won't the system start to collapse? Will the effect of a time machine kind of be like a dimmer switch, except applied to all of reality?
Whatever, I don't think this guy can make a time machine, but I'm grateful that he's trying!
But since when does implanting something inside your body not constitute a medical procedure?
The FDA lack of regulation apparently stems from it being used for non-medical use; the article admits that inserting it is a medical procedure: "The chip, which is slightly larger than a grain of rice, is inserted under local anesthesia during a quick outpatient procedure."
Of course, that begs the question, how is the use non-medical, when the article talks about its medical uses (it can store information about needed medication, and they are talking about giving scanners to hospitals).
On a related note, how long before someone hacks this thing and walks into a hospital.... "It says here he needs a shot of morphine and two joints of medical marijuana. And a dozen doughnuts."

Well, I'll tell you what - these areas where the US intervened stopped the global spread of communism. It wasn't pretty, it wasn't humane. But in the end, I think billions were likely saved. If you look at the WORST mass murderers in history, they were the communists (not to smear communism as an ideal - just the people who were claiming to be communists; Pol Pot, Stalin, etc). Imagine if the US had done nothing. Those of us still living today would be under a global communist rule with no hope at all of a counterrevolution. Only it wouldn't be communism. It would be a harsh dictatorship labelled communism.
What crap. Can you please provide one piece of evidence to support this point? The debate was over the CIA-initiated coup against a democratically elected regime in Chile. There is no evidence this democratically elected regime would have led to "a global communist rule," and only an idiot or a paranoid could possibly imagine that it would. The US intervened in Chile to protect the economic interests of US corporations, which were identified as the US "national interest." All this is well documented. Pol Pot and Stalin were murderous leaders, no doubt, but it is hardly arguable that US intervention in Chile (as well as the other interventions mentioned by the other poster, i.e. Iran and Guatemala) did anything to stop them. Even US intervention in Vietnam may have helped Pol Pot rather than hurt him. In any case, the very idea that the USSR or the PRC or Cambodia was on the verge of instituting world dictatorship without the interventions of the US in various third world countries is laughable.
Surely this top secret terrorism buster logo was meant to be classified; there is no way the CIA would be stupid enough to let this information out into the public arena, where it would expose them to ridicule!
Have you even used it recently? How is it not "keeping up"? For those who like more BSD-style directory organization, and who prefer compiling new packages themselves rather than trusting RPMs to figure everything out, slackware is still the best distro around. But to each his own... no need for a distribution war.
Anybody look at their website lately? Here is their lame attempt to respond to ubiquitous evidence that the CIA in the past provided training and funding to terrorists like bin Laden. Even the tobacco companies did better than that! But what I really want to know is how much of our tax dollars funded the CIA's development of this "terrorism busters" logo. yeesh.
2400 baud!! I remember how fast that looked the first time I saw a 2400 baud modem. Those lines just screamed across the screen!!! (one line at a time that is). I still have my 1200 baud hayes somewhere... Talk about slow. Imagine, downloading pr0n at 1200 baud, on a Mac Plus!! I never downloaded an entire picture on that thing; I would always get bored halfway through and play Daleks instead.....
in theory you could install linux on the bebox and then install MacOS using Mac-on-Linux but I have no idea whether it would work. It would also probably violate the MacOS EULA, if you care.
That's not a loophole; that is the fair use provision, which is essential if copyright laws are going to be consistent with freedom of information and academic freedom.
It's not in the Washington Post; I think the reference was that Newsbytes is owned by the Post. Anyway the story itself is BS; it cites articles in the Times of India, Hindustan Times, and the Guardian. I've searched all their websites, and also looked on Nexis, and there is no such story in any paper. I emailed the author of the article asking him to produce the sources.

You asked for it.

Military capability is not static. Think 20-30 years from now.
Especially after the US has bankrupted its Treasury fighting an endless war against an abstract noun.

Hi! How are you?
I send you this false identity in order to have your advice.
See you later. Thanks
I'm so H-A-P-P-Y to be here today.

Nah - it's actually named after the preferred window manager for the system.
Cost of 10 good Highend Macs, (about $30,000)...
Reading Beowulf in a PDF file on a cluster of these: priceless.
That won't happen unless someone does something stupid like post these URLs to slashdot.
oh....

What about the viruses?

How about reading Beowulf while listening to the music playing on a cluster of these?
Yes, Karl Marx would be astounded to see his name spelled with a "C."
Or imagine reading Beowulf while riding on a cluster of these....
