I used to be a die-hard Thinkpad fan and especially loved the matte screen that came with most models. Then my previous employer forced a glossy screen Presario on me and I had no choice but to accept the change.
Things were frustrating for a while, but then I realized that the glare was the only drawback and I had subconsciously learned to get rid of it by adjusting the angle of the screen.
Once I was over that hurdle, things were a lot more comfortable. The sharpness, vividness and brightness were much better than any matte screen I could find.
but my freshly installed Slackware played them without any trouble. It was what got me started on switching everything over to Linux and that's where I've been for the last few years.
Many people there, if they read at all, read religious texts only.
Now now. I wouldn't go so far as to call Slashdot a religious text.
That's your problem. If they had a wider experience in the written word, they wouldn't be so easily led by Clerics with an agenda.
Regarding the clerics (as well as politicians, warlords, industrialists), the people they manipulate usually can't read at all, let alone religious texts and it's this majority which needs to be educated. The official literacy rate is pathetically low to start with, yet the criteria for being counted as "literate" is the simple ability to write (or draw) your own name.
I wanted to experiment with IPv6 on my server and asked my hosting service to provide me with a V6 address. They didn't support it. I looked elsewhere (since I was going to get another server anyway), but no provider could match all of my requirements (IPv6 support, Linux OS, affordable).
In the end, I just went with an IPv6 broker and managed to get my IPv6 site (http://showmyip6.com/) running through a tunnel.
You would expect servers and hosting services to be the first to get into IPv6, but if they haven't done it yet, don't expect to see widescale adoption elsewhere.
Although it is a big strain on our support personnel, we do open ports for users who insist on it. It is usually the non-technical customers that create the most fuss and when all their email gets blocked, refuse to accept responsibility for their infected PCs. The above step had to be taken for the overall good after our whole subnets became listed in DSBLs and the rest of the customers started to suffer.
I'm glad to see no mention of Pakistan in there. It used to be one of the biggest sources of spam until recently. I work for a large ISP here and we take spam seriously. We recently started blocking all outbound emails from customers, restricting them to our state-of-the-art (Linux + Exim + SA etc.) servers. Even now, a single Spamcop report can have offending customer's email completely blocked. Corporate user or no corporate user.
The bigger task is getting all the other ISPs in the country to agree to implement this instead of bending over backwards to please their customers and allow them to broadcast whatever their virus-infected PCs can conjure. The major technical players have formed a network-admins group which discusses such topics and so far, the response has been quite positive.
It will likely take a while before these types of policies are enforced in countries which are only just starting to get online.
My guess is that this energy is too small to put any additional stress on the heart. Even if it did, it is already a very strong muscle and should easily be able to compensate for this amount of extra work by growing just a little bit stronger.
Oh, well, in that case, sir, I hope you will not object if I also offer you my most enthusiastic contrafibularities..... I'm anispeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulation.
They can just hook up the turbines to the end of the tunnel at the NJ Turnpike and exploit the powerful draft that flows through it. Off course, the side effect is cleaning up the chopped up parts of those ending up through the turbines.
Advertising it to people without a net connection seems to be pretty pointless as the only means of acquiring said CD is via an internet connection. It would be somewhat useful for people like me who have a slow or no internet connection at home (my home happens to be at one of the few places left in my city where broadband isn't an option). I like to read articles in peace, at home and there's a limit to how many Firefox tabs and windows you can keep open on the laptop.
Have you considered freezing yourself in ice for 2 weeks? The Christian groups may be extinct by the time you thaw and you should be able to find a Wii much more easily in the future. Hopefully, pr0n will still be around in the its current, true, natural form.
We all know that size doesn't matter. Even tiny screws, and those too in space, are worth keeping the ISS fully erect. I'll be the first one to volunteer when they decide to use humans in place of ants for this "screw sorting".
It's about time this Linux thing added support for these input/output devices. Even M$DOS has supported these for quite a while. I was getting tired of controlling my lappy by sending brain signals alone and attempting to understand the reply just from the sound of the clicking hard disk.
Odds are that hibernating astronauts would be in a lot better shape whent they got to Mars than they would be if they were awake the whole time.
Damn right about that. I don't know anyone who can go without sleep for more than a couple of days without serious damage to their health, let alone a few months.

How many of you thought that was referring to the "McDonalds food chain"?

Reading the headline, I actually thought that an Indian woman committed murders using a brain scan machine.
I heard he hides them bits under some kinda tree which makes it easier to finds them. Hell, he even wrote down all the details in his journal.
Ain't that simple enough? Find the journal, find the body.

I wonder how long before my web-based service gets blocked:

The next time somebody waxes on about the virtues of the Atkin's Diet I can tell them that even the dinosaurs got sick of it.
And look what happened to them.

Brilliant. I've been dead for 20 years and never thought replacing my ears would bring me back.

Must be one huge pen. How they ever got it in space is a wonder.
Oh, I'm sorry. Didn't realise you were British.
