Work on your handwriting so you can take legible notes more quickly. Read the course material ahead of time so you have to take fewer notes. More technology isn't always the best answer. I feel for you if you ever have to give a lecture or lead a review session.
Great, now Oracle can slice off the good bits and push the rest of the corpse into the bay where it can slump among the rusted JavaStations and corpses of former SGI employees as a reminder[1] that the chewbacca defense is not an effective business strategy.
Aha another Yashicamat owner:)...and this with a camera whose design is easily 50 years old (twin lens reflex). I've owned mine since 1986, and it still takes amazing pictures.
You are confusing Kodachrome (chome == transparency in Kodak) with Kodacolor.
Kodachrome was indeed the film of choice for many baby boomer slideshows. Before Ektachrome came along it was the only choice. It was also used for home movies. For instance the Zapruder film of the Kennedy assassination was shot in Kodachrome.
While there is no question that some great technical discoveries and inventions have come out of the space program, it's an open question whether funding NASA is a good way to use the limited amount of money our country is willing to spend on basic science and technology research.
We aren't in a space race with the Russians anymore, and astronauts are not longer rockstars who get ticker tape parades when they return safely to earth. These days NASA has to compete at the trough for public funding like everyone else. Them's the breaks.
Our country has lived beyond its means for decades. Instead of going to space the challenge the next generation will be faced with is cleaning up all the financial and environmental messes our generation and previous generations created.
Really the question I have is why would anybody NOT buy a mac? What benefit do Windows or Linux offer (for a user/developer machine!!! (not server))?
Can you buy a netbook with OS X on it? How about a thin and light laptop with an excellent keyboard, or an expandable desktop that doesn't cost at last $2.4k.
OS X is a great operating system, but it also locks you in to Apple's very limited choices for hardware.
Don't get me wrong, it's a fun game, but I'm not an undergraduate in college anymore, and after spending 8+ hours at work sitting on my butt in front of a computer, coming home and sitting on my butt for 4 more hours for a Nax raid or whatever doesn't sound like fun.
It just seems like such a waste of time. Gah, I must have grown up a little when I wasn't looking:)
Your chances of being paroled if you are a "to life" convicted murderer in California are extremely low. Reiser will probably stay in prison for the rest of his life.
"The parole board grants release dates to a relative few. Schwarzenegger vetoes most releases approved by the parole board, as did his predecessor, Gov. Gray Davis. Since taking office, Schwarzenegger has allowed 191 lifers to leave prison -- about 1% of more than 16,000 who had parole hearings."
I don't think it's too much to expect that Apple Software Update would you know, UPDATE the installed Apple software on your machine, not install new software, and certainly not do so by default. No, in the grand scheme of things, it's not a big deal, but it's still pretty sleazy.
You have to pay for a premium membership to get the pdf, but you can read the html version of the article for free. That's the way Ars Technica articles have worked for the past few years. They do have to make money, afterall... I fail to see the problem.

90% of alt.binary newsgroups? Seems to me like someone is doing a bit of scare-mongering.

This is true for most tropical diseases. If your are unlucky enough to travel in the tropics and come back with malaria, chagas dieseas, leishmaniasis, denge fever, or something similar, you will get to experience first hand just how few drugs are out there. Brazil's move ensures that in the future even less R&D money will be invested in tropical medicine.

The editor clearly knew "all along" because an admitted liar says he knew all along? Don't you see the problem with that kind of logic?

Yeah, you might want to ask the Tibetans about how that works out :)
-40 Celsius = -40 Farenheit. -40 Kelvin is meaningless. Seems to me like the op gave you all the information you needed.

That's great, but unfortunately the following doesn't work, and it's what many users seems to think they want
apt-get install MSOffice Photoshop WorldOfWarcraft
Even something like Google Earth for Linux can't be "apt-gotten," unless that has changed in the past few months.

Well, at least it's not snack time :D

It seems like every other Google employee I meet is using a Mac laptop. That probably has something to do with it.
