It doesn't matter if we want an ice age, we are already in one, and have been for about 2.58 million years. Of course, within the ice age, we happen to be in an interglacial period, but that is another matter.

Great phone. Hope mine keeps going until someone releases some kind of updated version. The N950 would do it, but there are only a handful in existence, and they have a capacitive screen...

Self-aware animals are off limits as far as I am concerned. Orca and dolphins (Bottlenose, I believe) are tentatively considered to have passed self-awareness tests, I don't believe any attempts have been made to test the larger whales. I have not yet heard of any dogs or pigs passing self-awareness.

Same here. I normally unblock ads on sites I like, but on/. they tend to more annoying than on most of my favorite sites, and they are often rather heavy as well. So I use the free ad removal, and I block, in case my karma falls too low for ad removal. Sometimes when I can afford it, I subscribe for a while as well.
Maybe I am crazy, but I am pretty sure he did this once before. He just vanished, and I believe the original Dive into Python went with him. Eventually he showed up again, but just his sites and occasional posts here and there, rather than as a fairly regular blogger. Then more activity and eventually DiP3 and DiH5, and now this.

Ok, not exactly a car, but I bet a bunch of wrenches could fit in a cylinder from one of these: http://www.archithings.com/cat-c175-engine-refined-drive-train-and-efficient-body-designs-for-797f-mining-truck/2009/10/23
LO/OOo use Java in just a couple subsystems. Help and DB stuff I believe.
>unions in other jobs poor metrics can do have done worse and unions are big help to fix bad metrics.
Really?
Watch out for the OOM killer

Not TVs, rather they are Fischer Price toy monitors. When they grow up, maybe they will be real monitors.
>I thought that green screen hooked up to my old IBM XT was a monitor.
Prehistoric predecessor to a monitor. Actual monitor status debatable.
Quality has declined on those channels as well, if not as much
It ain't a monitor until it does at least 1920x1200
Anyway what is wrong with amateur? Herschel was an amateur astronomer for many years.

I live in the western US and I know of plenty of places without even vz coverage.

Frankly, I am not sure it is ethical to eat pigs. They are similar to dogs, the reason I currently eat one and not the other is cultural convention.

An awful lot of all news stories are PR. Start looking for that certain tone, look at links to any sources... you will soon see a great many stories are copies of copies of PR releases

Occupy Siri!
I got the feeling both of these days where one-offs, not repeating...

How friction works
I really wish /. had proper unicode support, and MathML or similar.

Outlook 2007 (and presumably 2010) with Windows Search 4.0 does ok in my experience.
>even beyond any reasonable doubt of intelligent designers.
Luckily for them, their doubts are not reasonable in the first place, so this will have little effect.

What's the difference between Linux and Windows?
