Let's replace them with your favorite distro of Linux, *BSD or whatever turns you on. Make the people experience some real computing!
Actually, I'm not completely shure just giving them a CD would do the trick, but one can always try... (As long as you live in the US, that is. Get working, guys! I'll watch for reports from the other side of that ocean.
Great, but as was already mentioned when others came up with this solution: It is the right answer to the wrong question. They asked to add the decimal values of all figures between 1 and 1E06.
Yes, you're right. one of them was mine (actually to of them were mine, go and mod them down if it makes you feel happy)
Off course this guy deserves a statue (or an ice sculpture), but hey, I could use a laugh once in a while as well, and so do others. The fact that the first few post were intended funny only shows that a funny comment is something that hits you, not a reaction that needs contemplation. To make fun at a situation does not always mean disrespect. In this case it sure doesn't.
when I was a chem student I did this one as well. We worked very securely, but nothing happened
Then one of the lecturers walked in, took the Iodide, the ammonia and just poored some together. mixed well, dryed using aceton and threw some in water, so stable) on the floor. Detonation was done by tapping it with a _long_ pole
At least this taught me that chemistry is all about feeling, not just measuring out components. One of the most valuable and fun lessons of my study.

Hopefully some of the aerodynamic technology can be applied to commercially available vehicles (cars, maybe?).
A stable tricycle with this technology is commercially available in europe from a dutch company, "Velomobiel". Their "Quest" costs Dfl 12,500, approx. $5000,-
If I recall correctly, Mercaptan is used because it also decomposes into odourless products on incineration. One of the products is SO2. So it isnt added, but is produced due to an addition to the gas annyhow.
Excellent choice! Dont forget "drop" (quite different from liqorice, but the same basic idea), "Hagelslag" (chocolate product) and "stamppot" (meal style, involves a lot of mashing stuff together).
The dutch term is mostly appied to this is "gedoogbeleid" and means "condonement strategy". Basicly dutch people just let you do what you like as long as you don't get in their way. It gives the individual a lot of freedom, but also makes for an uninterested society, which many people from more "social" countries find rather harsh and cold.
I always thought the (odourless) anti perspirant "Deoleen" also had some stuff in it actively killing bacteria. It does do some good, although it is certainly no total solution to the problem. anyway, I don't see how bacteria on clothes could reach the sweat in time, before the other bacteia do.

They will think twice, since the virus might infect the maker as well
Many people prefer 1-dimensional (command line) to 2-dimensional (desktop), so why "move on" to 3D?
And how does that get Mr. Asimov his beer?
You can metamoderate however...

Hey, wait a sec! If they do not run Linux, how did this end up on /. in the first place?
No, I am not serious. In fact, I am probably joking...
I don't. However, I may have some wooden boxes.

aluminium is not only proper english, it is the proper belgian word as well. The post was global-minded, in cobntrast to the editors!
... to wrap microscopic hardware parts. Finally we've found a solution to that one!
The error is in the word "higiest" alright... :-)

OK, so I'm fucked either way. Lets go out and buy a normal screen and a pair of glasses then...
.. someone got their mail from the UK today!

Once you take into account the fact that you do not need reading-glasses any more with this baby. Just sit back 10ft or more
64.000 unresolved -
36.000 resolved
64.000 vs. 36.000, so most of them were not resolved at release.
Dutch students custom: Refering to whatever time as "five to..." (f.i. five to three to nine = 8:52 AM). This way you can get your beer anytime.

Did you see the TV Guide headline? Wasn't "Back to the future" something completely different?
They might end up at RadioShack. Or anywhere else in the universe. Or nowhere at all. Or everywhere at once. Damn "probability wave" !
