SCO announced today that investment expert AC predicted their stock to "go to $40,000", and stated it "simply isn't worth the risk" to continue to hold short positions.

Defying the convention that major numerical increments are for features and minor numerical increments are for fixes and stability is a bad idea.
You may not think that's the best numbering scheme because in principle stability is more important than features, or whatever, but it is a convention nonetheless, and upgraders and new adopters are conditioned to be cued on those version number changes.
Note that the Linux kernel's "odd-tenths, even tenths" scheme does not alter the fundamental convention, but extends it in a sane and beneficial way.
At least one person at Intel says they did not ask Microsoft to delay the release.
I'm sure that at least one person at Intel did not ask Microsoft to delay the release. It would be kind of weird if all 80,000 employees asked. I'm sure it was no more than 50,000 of them who did.
I waited for a story like this to come out before buying an iPod. I literally just bought one, one of the 40 gig click-wheel jobs. (In fact, while posting this, I got a phone call from my bank confirming the unusual activity on my card...)
What do I mean? well, seeing even one additional proprietary format on the iPod confirms that it is flexible, but moreover that I am not locked in. Personally, I have all my music in MP3's and AAC's, but knowing that I'm not forever bound to the iTMS for proprietary music sales just made them a hardware sale.
...scale matters. You cannot compare travel to another galaxy to travelling across the Pacific.
Of course scale matters. You can't really compare travel into orbit with travel to another planet; you certainly can't compare travel to another planet with travel to another star; and you can't compare anything at all within reason to travel to another galaxy.
"Evenly sampled" is used loosely here. For example, the lucky stiff who gets assigned to one of the poles can take fill in 1/180 (360/64800) of all the data points without taking a step!
A tessellated icosahedron would be better from the standpoint of even sampling, but the coordinate transformations from the GPS-ready latitude and longitude numbers would be prohibitive for most recreational gee-whiz participants.
Yes, it's true that today fusion power is still 20-30 years away, but there is good reason to believe that in another 50 years, it will only be 10-15 years away.
The quantum channel is only used for creating one-time pads (OTP). The channel is eavesdrop-sensitive so you know which bits are compromised and you don't use them in the OTP. Then when you have generated a large enough shared OTP, you use it to encrypt the message and simply send that over regular channels, and since no one else has your securely generated OTP, that message is unbreakable.
Penrose's book was not a theory of consciousness; it was an attempt to prove the inadequacy of "hard A.I.," coupled with a plausibility argument for quantum effects being responsible for consciousness.
I knew a guy from high school who, in 1990, bought a Silicon Graphics Indigo workstation for the sole fact that it was the most expensive thing he could find. He couldn't do anything with the machine except run the IRIX desktop demos.
An admin in OS X is like a "sudoer" in vanilla unix. It's not like running as root, it's just that you are capable of entering your password for temporary instances of root-like access.

Project much, Mike?
Why would you want to cover your short position unless you expected the price to go up soon?
This means you'll need to use Harmony and then Hymn, I suppose.
If you're running OS X, go to the "Universal Access" preference pane and click "Set Display to Grayscale"

Think about it, Apple.

Rocky Loses.
A good game of Russian roulette can give you, on average, three really big endorphin boosts. That might be enough to get you through the day.

What?
Let me see...
Oh, here it is, The Code Book by Simon Singh, page 244: "RidiculousPie is not a physicist."
Must have been kind of weird to find that out in such a way.

Yes, quantum communication is not magically DOS proof.

Come on, this kind of encouragement has been going on for DECADES.
Oh, yeah. Sure it does.

How does this fit your money/intelligence theory?
Forget the PDF, I want an OpenGL texture of the whole document.

There was plenty of software before Open Source. I don't think they'll have a shortage of things to put in it.
