There are even more reasons for not using Carbon dating:
(1) Carbon dating only works if you know the initial proportion of C13/C14 at the time of 'death' (or creation). The current assumption is that this proportion is quite constant on Earth. However, this proportion is likely to be very different in space (and on other planets of course) so you cannot date anything from out of space with Carbon dating even if it organic.
(2) Carbon decays quite rapidely so it cannot ve used to date millions of years and even less billions.

Take 1 enginer, 1 'end' user and 1 monkey and put them in front of the new GTK file chooser with a simple task: Open the file.bashrc.
- the end-user will give up after a few minutes first because it's obvious that there is no '.bashrc' available in the list.
- the enginer will complain, curse after the GTK file-selector and will eventually start KDE or a xterm.
- the monkey is be the only one to succeed because he is the most likely to type CTRL-L by mistake.

Minitel is also one of the largest PORN DATABASE in the world. You can find there millions of PORN images in high minitel resolution (40x25 in 16 colors).
I hope that there is no spam filter on/.! Can I say PORN two,... three times without being moderated down?
You missed one important point! FT provides a public service in France which means that they are not expected to make as much profit as a company in the free market. For example, FT has the obligation to maintain the telecommunications for remote parts of France (mountains, islands,...). A private company would just refuse to do it or would charge a lot more that FT.
Same for me! I have an old C64 and Linux doesn't fit on a tape and even less in memory. I guess that I will have to buy a 64k extension and an external floppy drive.
I aggree and it has to be noted that IBM declare that Linux is ready for the desktop only a few weeks after they announce that Lotus Notes, their major desktop tool, is ready for Linux. Before that their position was clearly anti "Desktop Linux".
I think that when IBM said "Linux is not ready for the Desktop" they were in fact saying "We are not yet ready for Linux on the Desktop so let's try to slow it down."
This is probably right at home but I can tell you that, in a corporate environment, those numbers are not appropriate. Then it is probably something like 90% of all X11 users who are using remote displays.
a quad cpu more performant than 4 * single cpu? Odd but not impossible.
For example, if in the single cpu config the processes are doing a lot of memory-cache missed then having 4 cpus (with 4 times more the amount cache) could reduce the number a cache misses and so could make the quad configuration more than 4 times faster.
The same reason could explain why 2 cpus are not faster than one: if 2 caches are not large enough and if the processes have a very bad locality then you may get as much cache misses with the dual cpu system than with the single cpu system.

That's because the last virus was the last one ever!
Microsoft was clear about that: "The last update fixes all holes! That's a promise"

hummm... how hard can it be to add a USB connector to a dildo.
Quick! I have to fill a patent before someone stole my idea.
Then you may want to combine those shortcuts
Ctrl-L : get focus in the location bar.
Ctrl-U : clear the location bar
Ctrl-T : open new tab (and clear the location bar)
Alt-Enter : (from the location bar) open in a new tab.
So for example, if your URL is in clipboard you can open it in another tab by
Ctrl-T + Ctrl-L + Ctrl-V + Enter
or
Ctrl-L + Ctrl-U + Ctrl-V + Alt-Enter
Does anyone know if there are digital cameras that can sign their own pictures (PGP,...). That would be a simple solution against manipulations.
The dots are not important!
The arrows are because they prove that there is an intelligent life on Saturn.
4 big arrows like those can't be caused by a natural phenomenom.
Those widgets are only 'undocumented' in the GTK 2.0 tutorial.
