You also need to look at those statistics again. The juvenile population has oscillated as the WWII "baby boom" juveniles grew out of that population and then their children entered it. See if the statistics to which your refer are just totals or if they account for the varying population.
The kneejerk reaction includes gun restriction reactions. There already are laws on many weapons, and the kids had two sawed-off shotguns which probably were illegal. Laws do not stop people who break laws, laws only control people who respect laws. (And guns helped two other recent school shootings: one wrestler with gun training recognized the click of an empty gun and tackled the shooter, and a Jonesboro employee ran to his car and used his National Guard semiautomatic to help apprehend those snipers (he had to run to his car which was parked off school property because he couldn't park a car with a locked gun on the school property))
With RPM, you can reuse the installation expertise of the RPM creator. Without it, each user has to figure out all the installation dependencies.
I switched to RedHat and RPM when I needed the latest version of a Tcl/Tk based tool. The new version of that tool required a newer Tk than I had. The new Tk required a new Tcl. The new Tcl required new compilers and libraries, as well as several other things. All of which I got to figure out by wading through the doc of each package (or the preceding version, as the current version did not mention a requirement which the previous version had added).
With RPM, -qlp lets you see which files it wants to change. With -qip you get a better description than just the file name (useful when you have a directory full of RPMs). And --test gives you a preview of the installation attempt.
Admittedly, Debian has a more advanced packaging system. But all packaging systems let the installer use what the packager already learned rather than requiring the installer to learn ahead of time all the problems. An installer that really wants to learn the details can get the source RPM and look at the source and the changes made by the RPM creator.
You're probably thinking of this Super-K news from June 1998. It is probably the atmospheric neutrino study which is being referred to in the Fermilab neutrino story.
The Fermilab study will use a known neutrino source. Super-K is a directional neutrino detector which can identify differences between neutrinos from overhead, those from underneath (and have traveled the extra time and distance to go through the Earth), and those in the direction of the Sun. Super-K studies the differences between the neutrinos from various directions.
Reveal's VM100 Telesound ($59 list) plugs into a serial port, phone line, and sound card. It is basically just a ring detector, on/off relay, and interface between phone line and sound card. I sometimes see them at electronics sales.
"These drives are compatible with Microsoft® Windows 95?, 98? and NT?" I like how their use of Microsoft proprietary characters caused the meaning of the text to be improved.
I didn't know a style sheet could be persuaded to overlay the color background like that. He'll have to adjust things...it's awkward to read when the start of each line of blue text lands on the blue color bar, and the end of each line is past the right margin of the browser.
Yes it is possible with a cartesian grid. Put the grid on a magnetic drum, not a magnetic disk. Magnetic drums are particularly fast with head-per-track designs.
It might be zero time. The "teleportation of light" experiments in the past few years are altering a characteristic of light at a sensor. The researchers are considering using this for communication and computing. For communication, an entangled light beam could be sent between two places and alterations teleported between them...if entanglement works in zero time, bits could be sent across the country in zero time although the entangled light already made the trip at the speed of light.
How are we supposed to replace our magnetic media with something more esoteric when they keep making magnetic media more esoteric? Next I suppose they'll have little nanomachines pumping pedals to spin the drives...or they'll rotate the heads instead of the platters.
The link to the Dvorak fable explanation is at: "The Fable of the Keys" I wondered why I could not find a reasonable reference to the oft-mentioned Navy study. It would have been better to have more studies which were not operated by Dvorak.

Go to your local library newspaper morgue and read it. It doesn't just seem we have more violence, we do have more violence. 3% of our population is currently in jail right now. Only because we have enough jail space (and no debtor's prisons:-). Look at older newspapers. Or historical texts.
For that matter, during New Year's Day I heard concern about how violent and dangerous the USA is -- but this was in a city in Brazil which on that day had ten times the number of shooting deaths as my twice-as-large home city in the USA.
Most "western" movies exaggerate the number of guns being worn, but when criminals got too uppity ranchers did start carrying around their weapons, and that's one reason they had the weapons. Romeo was a typical 13-year-old of the time, carrying around a sword. And at those times a minor stabbing could easily be a death sentence due to infection (doctors did not understand how to control infection at that time).
For that matter, does "violence" include or exclude what the staff of the royalty and clerics are doing?
Don't criticize his "doing some checking". It's a lot of effort to travel to his two major libraries, check his periodical archives, wade through six web search engines, and skim DejaNews. He did get the news here after confirming it's not a trivial rumor.
simulator [1] [2], and motion sickness all tend to be caused by differences between what is seen and what is felt (inner ear and sense of body). Make sure the first time you try this you give your movie-viewing passengers some waterproof containers.
So use your Linux laptop for your data. Configure it as a server to give access to your various desktop machines.
At boot time you can choose a boot configuration which identifies your current location. Or else have a script which changes the identity (IP, DNS, printers) and makes the various services reread configuration. There are at least two examples on the Web of this. (I'm using the boot-time config as I haven't taken the time to try the other method yet)

Not exactly. Some of the Star Wars toys this past Christmas were clearly from the new movie.
Not many references in that article. Shouldn't a Slashdot article have at least one HTML link per paragraph?

Maybe it's time to add collision-avoidance radar and brake peripherals to the automobile Linux tools.
Not only is it a suspended server, is it also a Linux mobile server? (OK, he did not show if the support allows movement around the room...)
HAL, or more formally HAL 9000, is the computer on board a spaceship in the movie "2001, A Space Odyssey". He had issues.

Shucks, the Fermilab-to-Minnesota Neutrino Data Link is not ready yet. He could have piped his speech to Minnesota via neutrino beam. Even if the data rate is awfully slow...

That's nice. Wish they had not said no two years ago when I could have used it. Too late now for that project.

Free exhibit floor passes are easy to get as many free ones are sent out, particularly by exhibitors. Conferences have fees. In this case about $200.

OK, so is there a list of which graphics cards use which technologies and the characteristics of them?
