The reason I care about Wii HD is so I can watch Netflix HD and maybe Hulu if they ever allow the Wii on their videos. We're not really interested in a PS3 or 360, though a convergence device would be awesome.
"Deficit spike or unemployment spike?" -- that was the choice. Bernanke et al. chose the deficit spike, shrinking the unemployment spike considerably. It's sucktacular, but it could've been a lot worse.
The FX are first class and lack the significant botches that disturbed the visual experience in 'Attack of the Clones'.
REALLY? That's really the major problem with Attack of the Clowns? Because I thought it was the Script, the Acting, and the Plot that disturbed the visual experience of that stinker. <shudder> The only thing great about that movie was Yoda's fight scene and that was just pure spectacle. Thank god I only paid $1.50 to watch that POS.
Not gonna bother googling for it, but I read a sciency article about a study on men and women during sex and typically the men have more on their minds during orgasm than women.
It turns out that there is no such thing as a classical vacuum. Instead, you have a state where particle/antiparticle pairs are spontaneously created and destroyed with typically net zero force. So, the definition of vacuum has been reformed.
This is so true. My wife is smarter than me in a lot of areas, but when it comes to making an impression at the office, I do a better job. We both have ideas, but whereas I take the bold "NO HARD TABS IN SOURCE!" approach, she tends to take a meek approach ("well, this might be a better way to organize our research... maybe... I might be wrong... "), hamstringing her success rate. It's very frustrating to me to see it happen over and over again, though. She has GREAT ideas, but no one takes a meek person seriously.
So how much patience do we need to start experimentation, let alone completing it, publishing the raw findings, analyzing the raw findings, and the coming out with some results?
Not to mention dropping us some more results on the LHC @ Home grid. World Community Grid has been rather lonely for some time...
I used to do this, but got irritated with it blocking things that I wanted to do, e.g., filling out a survey about how dissatisfied I am with AT&T. They would redirect it through doubleclick and voila I'd get my 404. I'd have to fix the hosts file and then go back and refresh the browser. Very annoying.
I much prefer the flashblock approach, though I do allow ads to run in order to support the sites I visit (no AdBlock, etc.). There is no question that these ad servers need to be faster than the sites that link to them.
There was a study published in Nature several years back that said population was likely to level off at 10 billion by 2100 due to affluence, wars, etc. IIRC, it may have even been on Slashdot.
You should have submitted it anonymously (or largely anonymously) and cited a copy of your dissertation (online PDF preferred). As I understand it, that's how half the more detailed articles are written when only a few have any clue. It's moronic, but
As for the Metz, France, one, yeah that was a dumb deletion. Every podunk town in Texas has a Wikipedia page. Probably because Texas is the France of the U.S. in terms of pride. Back on topic, make friends with a French admin.;)
I only ever make anonymous grammar fixes, etc. because I don't have time for Wiki's B.S. -l

If your Linux box doesn't freeze occasionally from all the new patches you install on a daily basis, can you really say you're USING Linux?

Huh, and I thought we already had a flat tax to the tune of 40%.

Iron Giant! Brad Bird, FTW!
Can't recommend the book, though. It is really weird (in a bad way) and I'm not surprised they went a totally different direction.

I think something like 2001 would be better fodder for 3D. Or something like the BBC's Planet Earth series.

I'm sure there is a "turning camels into glue" joke in there somewhere.

I guess these "1" people are suggesting that this Taiwanese guy is secretly CmdrTaco engaging in some sort of highly obfuscated navel-gazing exercise.

But that wasn't enough, so I had my balls cut off.
Laugh all you want, but I know an AIX kernel hacker who did just that.

I do both. I host my email on Gmail, but typically access it via IMAP in Evolution. That way, it's integrated with my work email and everything else.
