No, no, no. Pay closer attention. It's not the volcano that's square; it's the miles that are square. Everybody knows that you can't make a volcano out of round miles. They just don't fit together right. If you would RTFA you would see the pretty picture showing that the volcano is horseshoe shaped. You can only get that shape if you use square miles.
No, a shield volcano is formed when low-viscosity basaltic magma gradually erupts from vents or fissures. Shield volcanoes only explode when large amounts of water get involved. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shield_volcano for a nice brief writeup. It's only a volcano if stuff squirts out of the top.
No, it's PETUP - People for the Ethical Treatment of Unicellular Plants (or Eating Tasty). PETA took a lesson from Linus and sued for trademark infringement.
And technicians. Don't forget the technicians. They use things, too. Definitely, scientists need to be not trying to figure out how to use things. Maybe it's time for a union to sort all of this stuff out.
You must not use Mapquest very much. I've seen way too many cases where it mapped something completely on the wrong side of town. Probably 25% of the locations I map are either on the wrong side of the street or at least a block out of place.
Why yes, I did RTFA, and that paragraph didn't exist at that time. If you would RTFP that you referenced you would see that it is in response to Slashdot postings. I don't usually go back to reread an article I've already read just to see if it might have been changed.
I don't even care that Russia has a habit of blowing up or otherswise losing payloads. I gotta die somehow, and doing it on the way to or from the moon beats every other scenario by such a stupendous margin.
And if the trip were successful I would have orbited the freakin' moon!
If I were a bazillionaire I would be wiring the money today.
So can the 2500 people be serviced for the same cost as 100?
With WiFi does higher density make it more expensive or less expensive per user? Since I've only done it for 2 or 3 nodes in my house I'm not familiar with the way the costs scale.
You make it sound like being barbaric is a bad thing.
Oh, and by the way, we have whatever rights are granted to us by our current ruling body. A lot of people have this fantasy that rights just magically arise out of nothingness. It's funny how many of those same people think religion is stupid.
"...I dont' see why anyone would use a download service that's not bittorrent anymore..."
Because if the file you want isn't today's hot movie or game then there's a good chance you won't find a seed. Then you get to download 85% from peers and sit around wishing you could get the rest of the file.
"...why didn't some bright OSS developer have the idea for such a feature sooner?"
Because it's a fix in search of a problem. When I click on a torrent in IE, Netscape, or Firefox my client opens up and starts downloading. How would this be better? Now if I were an Opera user I would be loading up a BT client whenever I use my browser even though I rarely use it.
Hey, have the Opera guys been hanging around with the MS Office guys?
And for those of us who don't read German: THAILAND
300 Kilos heavy giant fish catch Fischer
Thai Fischern went a nearly 300 kilogram of heavy Riesenwels into the net. According to estimate of the nature protection organization World Wildlife find it possibly concerns the largest suesswasserfisch of the world.
Bangkok - when nature protection organizations got wind of the catch in a remote northern region in the north of Thailand, appealed it to Fischer to dismiss the Mekong Riesenwels again into the liberty. The requests left proud Fischer however cold: They fed that two meters for a long time and 293 Kilos heavy animal.
At least in Thailand no so large copy is imprisoned since beginning of the recordings over the Mekong Riesenwels 1981. The researcher Zeb Hogan, which leads a project of WWF and the American national Geographic Society over the largest fresh water fish types, spoke of an amazing find.
Dam projects and environmental damage make Fischer at the Mekong responsible for the fact that the population of large fish types - of those it in the river as many as otherwise anywhere does not give - decreases/goes back. The Mekong Riesenwels applies since 2003 as kind threatened acutely by becoming extinct. "my studies of large suesswasserfische show a clear and world-wide sample: The largest fish types disappear ", said Hogan. "if we act now, could protect we animals like the Mekong Riesenwels extermination."

I don't get it.

If it's driving itself why does it have an antenna sticking up in the back?
What is the only thing she can do so far? Flutter her eyes.
You forgot the part about moving her hand like a human. It didn't specify what human hand movements, but we can guess.
Orbit the moon for 100mil?

Hey, great job of illustrating his point!
I most especially welcome our new genetically altered Giant Twinkie overlords!

"...If there's not a "seed" with traditional methods you won't be able to download it either..."
Very true. That's why it's good to have options.
"...Any Linux distribution on the planet has plenty of seeds..."
Oh, sure, if you want one of those. As if anyone would.

So did anyone else notice the building at the edge of the crater near the top of this image?
The owners of that comet research facility have got to be seriously torqued about us blowing it away.

Umm, that would be "grizzly-sized giant catfish overlords". If you don't get it right they'll just come and eat you.
blah blah blah metallic core planet overlords blah blah blah

There you go. Answered your own question. Now you won't need heated seats in your car any more.
