I nearly blinded myself. I work with lasers, and was trying to align one of the mirrors. I misaligned one slightly, causing the beam to shine in my eye. I looked away immediately, but could only see darkness in that eye. I was so shit scared.
I was in a foreign country. The company I worked for rushed me to hospital and this foreign doctor explains to my collegues that she needs to inject a needle in behind the back of my eye. You need to prevent the back of the eye from bruising and swelling up.
She takes out her book of english and says slowly "This will..... hurt". And it did.
Thankfully after 2 weeks my eyesight was back to normal.
So please everyone - do be very careful. And if anything happens, it is _vital_ to get to a _eye_ hospital as soon as possible.
I don't know why, but somehow your windows entry in/boot/grub/menu.lst is in the wrong place. Perhaps you modified the file or something?
Anyway, to fix, there's a line that says:
### END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST
Anything before this will get modified by the grub updater. Simply more the windows bit to after this line. I have something like:
(lots of stuff here about ubuntu installed kernels)

Your logical fallacy is "Al qaeda videos have been edited"... perhaps it should be stated as "Videos, from a person (apparently) who claims that they are part of Al qaeda, appear to have been edited, according to someone else"
But there isn't a plugin api - there is just their internals. We'd need to copy beryl completely, line for line. Every data structure would have to be the same, and so on.
That's a possibility, and it is being discussed. However the beryl team at the moment don't want to restrict themselves to having any form of stable api. They just expose all the internals. It is not possible for kwin to support beryl plugins without being line-for-line a copy of beryl.
I can see how people can think that kwin is basically reinventing the wheel. However the compiz-style stuff is actually a tiny fraction of the code. Kwin is a very mature window manager with support for a lot of corner cases. (You would not believe how many corner cases there are, if you want it to properly support all X11 apps).
KWin also copes gracefully if there is no 3D support for your graphics card. Compiz/beryl do not, and will just simply refuse to run. Distros are trying to hack around this with a fallback window manager etc, but this means that you then have to maintain two window managers and make sure they have exactly the same look, feel, etc, for consistency. It also means that any window themes have to target two window managers and so on.
Save data to a hard disk. Put in envelope. Have lawyer time and date envelope. Stick in bank vault with bank time and dating it and not allowing any future access to the device until needed.
Instead, save the files to disk but get the md5 sum of the file and print out the md5 sum. Then you can prove that the logs haven't been tampered with.
That's just silly. What reason do you have for that?
It would take no time at all to write a program to unzip an odf file, load in the xml file using the standard xml libraries that every programming language has, then grab, say, a list of all the urls in the document. Or extract all email address. Or look for someone's name.
Not only that, but I can unzip an odf file and with no programming at all extract all the images from it, since they are just there.
Oh please. You just shouldn't put binary data inside the xml file. How hard is that? I can unzip an odf file and see all the images inside as proper files. That's the way it should be.
As for complaints about xml bloat - meh. When you zip it the repeated tags get reduced to near nothing anyway. Any binary images in the file are going to be bigger than all the tags put together.
Meh, Wolfram often makes the math too complicated too early, without a simple explanation. Wikipedia articles however usually have a simple explanation _and_ a picture (often animated) and an example, before they have the complicated general explanation.
I doubt anyone is surprised. How can you possibly fast track a 325 page document, giving the public only a time amount of time to check it, then expect it to be perfect.
If you algorithm understands English well enough that it can guess that the "*" is the word "is", then you don't need to store the word "is", but you know that when it's decompressed that word "is" it will be guessed at.

Space is big. Really big. Really really fucking big.
During the collision of the galaxies, it's unlikely that any of the suns will even hit each other. That's how freaking big space is.
Consider that we are in a galaxy. Now consider our nearest star (other than the Sun) is so far away that it takes _years_ for light to reach us.
If our galaxy collided with another galaxy (as it will - we are set to collide with the Andromeda galaxy), we probably wouldn't see much.
Making it much more likely that the burglar carries a weapon with them. Real smart idea.

Try doing that with a binary format.

Each to their own I guess
Learn Model View Controller programming. I have coded a similar thing myself in Qt without such problems.

Man, I really really get annoyed at Microsoft.
If they start at the same point, and have the same input, then they will learn the same thing and come to the same conclusion.
If at compression stage you guess incorrectly, then you have to put the actual word in. You would only replace words if you guess correctly.
You do want it to guess. Take the string:
"The weather * good"
If you algorithm understands English well enough that it can guess that the "*" is the word "is", then you don't need to store the word "is", but you know that when it's decompressed that word "is" it will be guessed at.
You can quite happily bounce a photon, for example, off of mirrors without causing its wave function to collapse.
In what way are they different things? The emergent behaviour is a result of the hive 'mind'.
Sounds good, but don't use this silly thing.
Just run synaptic, find ruby on rails, and install. I think it will suggest mysql automatically. If not install that too.
You'd don't need anything more than that. Then just follow any ror tutorial on the web. It's pretty easy.
Two points:
:-D
1) They wont accept outside contributions unless you sign their paperwork.
2) I have personally contributed, so I know that at least 1 person from outside has contibuted
To launch interplanetary crafts.
Also I don't think the midpoint is a particularly interesting point.
> a game park that contained pretty much half of every kind of animal we saw in Africa.
Do they cut the animal in half lengthways, or sideways?
In order to stay up, at the top the centrifugal force must be larger than the gravitational force (in the rotating frame).
Thus if you had a fireman's pole and got on it near the top, you'd fly upwards, not downward.
