I certainly hope that most of the people who read the parent post get it.
I think it's a pretty safe assumption that we are not the only (relatively) intelligent species in the universe. Do we really want to have our pants down when they (the other species) meet us?
Not to nitpick or anything, but isn't that really all relative depending on what is the liquid and gas being compared are made of? Furthermore, what is any liquid but a compressed gas?
(remembering chem class with water boiling at room temp in decompression...)
...you'd have to manually program in each barcode and tell the microwave how long it would take to cook...
Or the microwave could just remember how long you cooked it the last time. Or it could reference the UPC against an online database of cooking times (kinda like cddb, but for food.)
The 2.4 GHz area is at least 1/2 allocated to Amateur Radio (for now at least, remember 220 and 11m?) All modes and licensees (except Novices) are authorized on the following bands [FCC Rules, Part 97.301(a)]:
The weird thing is that I actually got to where I could read the whole thing backwards. Hmm, maybe I should try reading some hebrew sometime.
LED skin is still not good enough.

This hypothesis, of course, is barring the fact that LEDs emit light in the dark (producing a glow), and also any such surface on a car would visibly reflect sunlight revealing the outline of the car in daylight.
Honestly, it would be more likely to create a broadcasting mental suggestion device to convince anyone in visible range that there really is no car there.
This book should have RedHat customers hammering at the gates of Raleigh, demanding the power of iterators and list comprehensions that their SuSE counterparts already enjoy by default; it demonstrates the superiority of Python 2.2.* over 1.5.2 in great detail.
Of course, installing a new version of Python in RedHat is pretty painless, download the rpm and install it. You can find them here.
What about the feds "undeleting" your data?

So, what happens if for some reason the feds (or some other unscrupulous organization) siezes your hard drive and digs up everything you've deleted for the past 6 1/2 years?
Many of my peers and I were involved in warez before the open-source movement came about. We were young, penniless and still trying to explore the different aspects of computing and we needed warez to do this. Now we use open-source software to do the same things we did before with warez.
How do you feel the warez movement helped invoke the Open Source Software movement?
Well, it may not have been compatible with CP/M, but the history of DOS states that it was a "cut-down implementation of the CP/M operating system" known as QDOS which was "designed by Tim Patterson for Seattle Computer Products." Microsoft later purchased the license for QDOS and presented it to IBM.
Seriously, do you really think that if a certain DirectX API call does something they really want to do and doesn't work in Wine, they just won't use it?
I just can't see a game project manager saying: "I know that DirectX call is exactly what we need to make this game scream, but if it doesn't work in Wine, it's off-limits."
One might note that vi only won out by a mere 2.6% vote (38.8% vs. 36.2%). So, this could be just a mere margin of error, all in all a very close race.
Of course, being a vi user myself should show that I have no personal reasons to point this out.

Personally, i like the office interface, but perhaps that's just because i'm so familiar with it.
I think you just answered your own question.

Good point. I got it from a quote somewhere and didn't really think about it. Thanks. =)
So what happens if it doesn't send the wake-up call?
BIOS starts...addressing the TPM chip that verifies the authenticity of the BIOS.
What good is it for the BIOS to verify itself?
If it's not authentic (i.e. compromised), would it really bother to address the TPM chip at all?
You should tell my ex-wife that. She has the sex drive of a rock!
Why else would they kill off everyone except for the primary characters? (Morpheus, Neo, Trinity, and Tank iirc)

If that's not living on the edge, I don't know what is! Just imagine having to reboot while inverted!

I'd like to have one of those, does it have a usb port?

Okay, so God's in violation of the DMCA for creating big rocks, right?

Sure wish I could have thrown one of these things into the (ex) wife's car when she was cheating on me.
