Happiness:
This happiness index is for how happy the planet is, and it appears that Central America wins. most likely by having less people and some forests.
Crime:
toss up. lots of European countries on either side of the US here. The only relevant one to the discussion is the firearm stats. the US is the only country with recent updates and full stats. apples to oranges, and it feels manipulated to make the US look bad.
Health:
the US life expectancy is below cuba! and chile. and costa rica. While they may be nice places(the planet is happy enough there!), I believe that there may be some reporting discrepancies here
Conclusion: This appears to be a bunch of references that hope to make the US look bad. As long as no one actually reads them. Wait, no I forget--of course Europe is better!

"In the United States, which is generally less tolerant of female toplessness than Europe or Australia, toplessness is permitted in Washington, D.C., New York, Hawaii, Maine, Ohio, and Texas wherever a man is permitted to go without a top.[25][26]. However, women in Texas appearing topless in public are typically charged under public nuisance laws.[27] Topless bathing is permitted on designated public nude beaches."

"The first nude beach of the United States was established in San Gregorio in Northern California in 1967,[5] as a private "free beach".[6] The number of official nude beaches in the United States has recently increased because of the stewardship of national and local nudist organizations and the establishment of working relationships with—or lobbying of—local municipalities and law enforcement agencies. The tourist potential of clothing-free and topless events and facilities is increasingly being recognized.[7]"
Here in Austin we have Hippie Hollow. Which I have never been too, but I hear is lotsa fun.
And now I hope no one actually sees this comment. one more reason no one can ever know my slashdot ID. Conveniently I picked the lamest alias ever.
Heinlein talks about a personal phone in chapter 1 of Space Cadet. He does not mention the technology backing it. He does however receive a call from an aquaintance (possibly his mother or uncle, its been awhile). That pretty much covers cell phones as actually used.
Integrated devices (cell phone/camera) are talked about in general ways in many books during the 40s-50s, although camera phones specifically are not mentioned to my knowledge. The wrist communicator/data access device was one particularly common example of such a device. It wouldn't surprise me if one had a camera.
no rumor, they sell them here (here being
Modesto, CA and surrounding areas)
and in the summer, about 5 minutes after you buy them , Dipping Dots are melted enough to be just like regular ice cream
My experience working at a med school tells me that the real reason for this is lazy doctors, getting out of teaching a class, so they can be screwing crap up somewhere else! They share their slides so they don't have to prepare their own, and video means they only have to give a lecture once, and then they have it for years to come.
see here for someone who was doing it back in the day(of dotcom's) and see here for some software to use to convert a video stream to any number of formats for streaming.
The biggest problem is of course bandwidth, and coming up with shows to put on...maybe you could pick up some of the stuff from thesync--it looks like they aren't doing much with it anymore. The set up for streaming is pretty simple--let me know if you need some help, etc...I have set some of this stuff up before.
That's mostly because that movie was a weird combination of Lucifer's Hammer, and the above mentioned Footfall. At least that was what I thought after rereading them recently.
The animation is an easteregg on the ps2 game summoner. just for those who cared

You are wrong, I am sorry to say...please go back and reread the top level post. His idea is that they do not modify any GPL licensed code, and thus nothing they write is covered by it. In this case, they are under no obligation to release anything. Of course, if they are modifying the kernel, or other GPL code, then naturally they must release their source. But that has nothing to do with the parent post.
TANSTAAFL: there AIN'T no such thing as a free lunch. Oddly enough, I just finished rereading that book last night. (that book being "The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress", by Robert A. Heinlein.)
good stuff
Slashdot Mirror
try not installing X11, X11 apps, kde, xfce , emacs, tcl and docs (ie: just unselect the install folders x, xa, kde, kdei, xfce, e, tcl and f )
there! you have a tiny distro, ready to use, compile, whatever
I am pretty sure that the good Mr Volkerding is well aware of how to configure the distro that he created.

It looks like what you get for 9.99 is access outside the browser. They mention Samsung tvs, and ipad/iphone.
no android love yet though.
what's wrong with the one in the link he posted?

just curious...
I think you meant 3750--just about the only difference being that the 3650 isn't stackable, and the 3750 is.
Gee, can you guess what my day job is!?
