I for one, look forward to be electrocuted in loyal service to a totalitarian new world order. This way, they can exert a greater control over their treasonous subjects!
I certainly hope the recent slander from Snowden will not stop the NSA and other semi-autonomous government organs around the world from keeping a full record of all traces of substances which are found on my body, each time I travel. That will be great in case someone in power is ever questioned and would need to put the offending party in prison or at least character assassinate them!
Ubuntu's primary appeal is to users who will never willingly stray far from the default UI --- even assuming that they are aware of the alternatives.
I am sure that Ubuntu is the largest distro among Linux professionals too. Where I work, everyone run Linux both at work and at home with 10-15 years of Unix experience, and we still run mostly Ubuntu. Our servers run Ubuntu too. Just because I have compiled many a kernel in my day, worked with IRIX, Solaris, FreeBSD and at least once installed Linux From Scratch does not mean that I enjoy fiddling with X11 config, driver issues, etc.
Is there really a "Microsoft tax"? When I looked at laptops, the same hardware was actually cheaper with Windows than with Linux. I suspect that Dell et al pay so little (because of volume) for the license and in turn make enough from the shocking amounts of crapware that they preload Windows with, so that it evens out for them.
In short - don't expect these to cost less than the equivalent Windows laptops.
How can computer professionals not spot such an obvious April Fools joke? Chess openings cannot be "solved" by a classical computer and if they were, the result would not be that white had only one move to save a draw after two fairly normal moves.
There should have been a placebo group holding an equally hot phone not making any calls, just to rule out stuff like: heat, the actual holding of the phone, psychological effects, etc. Everything is better when it is double-blind. I didn't read the article, though:).
It IS the same god they are talking about, silly.
I have often heard that, but what does "same" really mean? Since they describe this entity with different characteristics, what is the "sameness" referring to? Why is not Zeus also the same god who just happens to be endowed with other characteristics by his prophets?
I think that the philosophical notion of sameness requires either an exact match of properties or a non-fictional object to which the descriptions can refer. I realize that some people would say that this particular god is non-fictional, but still - can the statement that "they refer to the same god" only mean something for believers?
I have quite a high fever, so this might not be as inspired as I think..;) But the syncronization of the clocks initially has to be very precise. In fact, so precise that a lot of information has to be sent over to get it exact. It would be physically beautiful if it turns out that in order to get perfect synchronization you'd have to exchange enough information initially to make it a one-time pad. (and thus useless)
OTH, the method is not really an encryption scheme, so perhaps it would be surprising if there was a correlation.
Have you seen KDE lately? It is good. It is very good. Improving all the time.
IMHO KDE 3.5 is already a better desktop (for everything but gaming and perhaps Exchange-connectivity) than XP and on par with Mac OS X. Yep, Vista is coming and it might be better, but KDE 4.0 and Plasma are also coming.
If you were the horse you wouldn't want to be in my hamburger, would you? Given how many animals we kill for sport and food, I think giving a few dogs and horses sexual relief is.. well.. only an issue for people with psychological issues concerning sex.
Good point, but on the other hand if a guy makes a thoroughly inane comment, for example like this: http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid =145564 &threshold=0&commentsort=3&tid=14&mode=thread&pid= 12188910 you have to assume that the quality of his opinions on other subjects will be low. Most likely you will be disinformed by reading them.

BTW "Anakata" is the handle that he usually goes by.
According to friends who have visited Svartholm, he is being held on terrorism charges not related to TPB, but still on the request of Sweden:

Peter Sunde, a TPB founder, seems to think that it is related to the fact that Svartholm's company used to host WikiLeaks.

I don't think any of us run Unity though ;).

Seventhly, you have just made an extensive analysis of an obivous April Fools joke.

I read the title as "Tubgoat" and thought, as any normal person would, that it was about something like Tubgirl, but.. worse.
That twitter guy who became famous for live-tweeting the raid when he was annoyed by a helicopter certainly seemed to have heard it.
Corporations are too bland. I would have liked it more if it was called "Honest Bezos' App Bazaar" or something.

Why do you spell things funny and speak in caps? Incidentally, the diagrams in the article show no such cycles. Looks more like random walks to me.
Well.. even if we assume that being jewish automatically means you live in Israel. How does disagreeing with your country's laws make you bigoted?
The best hackers around break into your house while you sleep and turn it on.
Then they put spider eggs in your bed.
You have a serious psychic illness.
Half a life-time?! 13 years? You have a life expectancy of 26?

When you say that "silence" is not true, what do you mean? That they were against it or for it?
A simple web search tells me that many people think that Pius XII was an anti-semite.
What does filling in missing letters have to do with computer programming?
