You know, the post makes it sound like the sunset moonrise conjuction is specific to this moon. But if you think a little, you'll realize it's true for all full moons. It's one of the things in litrature that kill me. Moon rise and moon set depend on the phase of the moon. A full moon will rise as the sun sets, and half a moon never will. It's simple geometry.
In Israel actually (almost) everyone has 2 person numbers. One from the state you get when you're born, that identifies you, in most subscriptions and such, and another one you get in the army. Actually this way, I think there's less chance of identity theft, because someone should know the number to do something, but knowing it, doesn't prove anything fully.
What many people including Amazon miss in the eInk technology is that it doesn't need electricity to sustain it. Amazon releases Kindle which has about 2 days' battery lifetime. Yes, it's ok, but it's also not very long for a cell-phone. There is absolutely no advantage that it has over LCD readers, except it being "pleasant for the eye". Well, not so with Sony Reader. I agree that it has some current leakage, but it will live much longer. There are reviews by Exler[Unfortunately in Russian] which say that the reader will live for around a couple of weeks of medium-intensive use. The fact that Amazon keeps online contact all the time, takes that advantage far away from it.
Personally, I think if you're going for the best reader, without looking at the price, the iRex Illiad is the best. It allows you to takes notes on the book(yes, touch-screen), and has the advantage of having a long battery-life. But it costs around 700$, which is quite a different category of prices.(and no drm as far as i can tell)
There is another Reader on the market, though it's much less famous. I can't find an English page about it. But it's cheaper than the Sony PRS. And a review says its functionality is also better. Unfortunately the review is also in Russian
Well, everything that's wanted to be made lightweight now is made web-based. Why not make a web based browser?
I know it sounds like a joke, but if you don't need to render anything at the client, except lightweight code, maybe it'll be worth it. It will get a little more of your bandwidth, but indeed will weigh nothing.:)
I'm finishing my undergraduate degree in Mathematics at Tel-Aviv University now, and from my experience what I can say is that any kind of slides are impossible to follow properly. A talk goes much better without any presentation at all, and when the presenter writes on the blackboard the points he wants you to follow. Single slides are good for drawings and illustrations, but not more. Usually, when someone uses a presentation, is because he decides that there's not enough time to write during the lecture what he wants, and thinks it's faster to write it ahead, but then there's usually not enough time to read and understand what he's showing.
Usually what happens when companies limit overtime, is that people work overtime without getting paid. At least that's what I've seen happening usually.
Where did they find this word? What's preexisting? You can use "Existing" in exactly the same place and get the same meaning, what are they trying to achieve by using this word? So now my cellphone is preexisting too?
I think that volume search doesn't necessarily represent traffic volume or popularity. In the end, slashdot has it's crowd, which has established long ago with a very high volume, and digg is much newer. Also, means that/. ppl can remember the URL more easily.
I'd like to comment upon your statement about commas. Although, research might suggest it, but the rules for commas was one of the best things that were taught in high-school. I'm not very good at writing, but simple rules about where to put commas, or other gramatical appliance are really good. Before I was taught about them, I really had no clue of how to use them, and now I do, mostly.:)
So, you may not need to have it as a goal, but one lesson, I believe, would be a wonderful thing to do in such a course.
Piracy definitely won't stop, but stations you've learned to love will stop broadcasting in mp3, and I personally prefer using winamp over the other programs available.
Colonization is one of those games I just can't stop playing..:) Even though I passed it in Viceroy level several times. My current goal is to complete it with 13 developed colonies.:) Scortched Earth is one of the most genious games I think, and even though it's old and with poor graphics, it's still really good now.
When they come out, I believe most of the books with become E. Because it makes a feel of book, only realoadable. Much easier and more fun than reading on Palms, for example.
I've heard about this E-Ink more than 10 years ago, I think. There was a story in Popular Science magazine, about a company that has managed to make a prototype of a book that is basically like a regular book, and needs no electric maintanance, while reading, but only for changing books, it needs to have power applied, and a diskette for reading a book from it(It was before CDs and burners were widespread), and I'm waiting for it since then. Maybe if those watches become successful, we will be able to get the books too. I'm even ready to pay for buying the texts of the books.
I read in the salmon of doubt that the movie was suppose to contain only the first book's plot, has anything changed? By the review it sounds like it did....
It's not completely correct, at least as far as i understand from the article, they used the very cold state to intiate the register, but then they let it heat up.
In my opinion, QBasic is the perfect language for teaching programming. It was my first language, and I was able to teach it several other people with no idea in computer programming. It's simple, it's based on all the principles of computer programming(I don't my OO or such, but it has all the basics), and you can do all you want as long as it's not too complicated, and someone trying to learn won't start thinking of "too complicated" stuff.
My next language was C++ and the transfer wasn't that hard, so I think you should try it, it's very easy teaching it to people, and after a short while after you get her understanding all the basics tranfer to something more powerful like C.

Bad editing, anonymous reader.

As a reply, the Israeli government decided to copyright monotheism

I like the gas makinetas, they make espresso like in restaurants and are very cheap.

Well, if pacman is 64% violent, then I guess supaplex must get at least 85% with the advanced graphics
Remember that some people still use I.E. at work and have FireFox at home. So probably there are more firefox users that 65% in the /. crowd
