For certain disasters, space travel IS the way to be prepared. The previous examples of disasters that almost extincted all life on earth (80.90% of it?) are just examples, and are possible ones that just being here when they happens is not the right answer.
Of course, space colonies outside must be truly independent from earth to survive from a big disaster here, thing a bit harder than just putting some people living far from here. And maybe we are already out of time to reach that (i.e. maybe we will found another higher/riskier asteroid than the 2004MN4 within this decade/century and not sure how well prepared we can be against such things by then and that just speaking of something that we can have years to prepare)
... Linux MUST be hard to use, see how difficult will be to pronounce the name of most of their main distributions (SuSE with mixed case? Ubuntu? And now... Mandriva? even is hard to pronounce linux), then installing/using them should be even harder.
Well, a method to low down the email worm trend is to release a virus (i.e. the next mydoom/beagle/etc) that sends a big numbers of copies of itself (1k, 10k, whatever), and then encrypt the disk. The people that always click on attachments or use unsafe clients will start to fade fast (specially because will have no clue on how to unlock it or find websites with software for that).
Happened to me the same, submitted the story yesterday night, when my mail space was about 1098Mb, but got rejected. Oh, well, i could had expressed badly or the editors were overwhelmed with April's 1st stories
... is still not solved, i.e. how trivial is for unaware users to launch a mail attachment, or how integrated is the html engine in the mail renderer that enables automatic or so launching of attachments. Ok, the main culprits here are Microsoft, and in particular Internet Explorer and Outlook, mail based worms are hard to be found for other plataforms or even mail clients, but the end users play an important role too.
To be honest, i dont receive in my gmail account mail worms, but that is because gmail executable attachment filtering. But in a server i administer there are a constant flow of mail worms (that dont impact end users thank to anomy sanitizer and ClamAV) but the biggest part of them are not for especific individuals but for randomgeneratedname@mydomain.com, almost none hits a real account. Not sure what or how many worms of this kind are, but a few infected people generates a lot of mail traffic this way.

... that blue screen usually dissapear after restarting it"
Just like Dune, 2001, Fundation, etc... My best recomendation is to stick with the first one, or the first block of the serie, and maybe, just maybe, check one of the advanced books (i.e. Dune 5 was not very bad, neither Enders Shadow). But long series have high and low points, usually with high points at the very beginning and with with some rare great books in the middle (ok, Discworld is a good exception:) so you must know the risks of following a series of books.
About the movie, cant say it will be good, bad, or whatever at least before it is done. It could be even better than the book, or give a complementary look if not very faithful to the letter. After at least watching a review or a rating cant say i will be willing to see it. For now, well, just hope it will be well done.
Pretty secure because you dont run apt-get update or the similar commands for gentoo and slackware? Install any of those distros, wait a few months (i.e. SuSE 9.2 CDs/DVD are fixed in time like 6 months ago or something similar), and check if you have security updates (if you not, then your distribution is probably don't worrying about security).
That SuSE by default puts an applet in your desktop for making you aware that there are existing updates is something that makes it more secure (at least, for the unaware user), not less.
Just that maybe they arent good judges of what is flawed and what not... like when they (or someone in their name) calls Linux insecure and not scalable.
Few days ago was announced with fireworks that SuSE 9.3 will include Beagle, but at the very least that was not explicited in this latest round of press releases.
Was it removed or was considered not as important as the other announced features?
If you plan to carry only a phone could be ok.
If you have to carry always your phone, AND sometimes need internet access, or a camera, or a music player, an organizer, etc, then it is a solution, you know, if well you can have all the separate functions in separate devices carrying all of them will make you need only a batcape to finish the custome.
Tried with links and w3m (not the latest versions, anyway) and it reported me that my browser don't support cookies (?). But was a pleasure to read gmail with elinks in a console ssh session.
I know that is very unscientific and should be proved wrong just reading TFA, but remember some speculation from years ago that during the big bang matter and antimatter should have been created, and we could have galaxies of antimatter around. Could be fun to play with the idea of that galaxy is in fact an anti-galaxy, with anti-stars emiting anti-light (?), and maybe then not visible in the standard way.
Of course, such light should have a good trace of gamma radiation when it reachs us, so can't be... but could have been something interesting to find.
Anyway, under the "mystical" acception of 6th sense, i would put intuition (you can't tell why, but you are sure of something) or luck (ask google if people dont feel lucky).
That is the kind of moderation that usually gets here this kind of negative comments on Microsoft politics or products (imagine that yesterday i had put a comment saying that the only way Microsoft can get its sponsored laws passed is by blackmailing).
So in this story that kind of mod points will go to the comments that try to minimize or ignore that kind of Microsoft behaviour? Or could be the truth be moderated as troll?
Recent images of the ocean floor in the tsunami area found traces of an ancient city, temptativelly named "R'lyeh".
Also, a big monster with a head like an squid is walking from there to Tokio. Press there don't know if call it Godzilla, or if they must call Godzilla to save them.

that was not exactly a mostly harmless review for the film. So long and thanks for the review.

Hey, they could patent 0 and 1, and anything derived from there could be covered by that patent.
What about:
- heat/cold
- humidity
- "barometric" pressure
- electricity
Are those unified under the "touch" label?
Anyway, under the "mystical" acception of 6th sense, i would put intuition (you can't tell why, but you are sure of something) or luck (ask google if people dont feel lucky).

What about joking? Because is what they must be doing with that claim.
