Next time you use a computer, think: positrons are an unrivaled probe of defects in Si crystals. They make excellent diagnostic tools to see if a particular batch of computer chips is going to go bad.
Next time you or someone you care for gets radiological treatment, think: accelerators make lots of things which are used to diagnose and treat cancers.
If you like KDE, why not just choose to not use desktop icons? Control Center (i.e. kcontrol) -> Desktop -> Behavior -> uncheck "Show icons on desktop". I've been doing this for years (and something similar on Windows) and I like it much better.
It's also interesting that at very low amplitudes, our ears (perhaps ear/brain combination) are much more sensitive "edge" detectors than CW detectors. For example, you can usually hear very well the sudden turn-on or turn-off of a low-decibel sound, but its sensation goes away when it's left on for more than a few seconds.
Windows Update - Using Genuine Linux Distro "Ubuntu". Result? No licensing restrictions, no DRM, no repeated system restarts, no service packs to fix the previous service pack, that fixed the previous service pack, that fixed months old critical bugs. While I might pick a nit with the choice of Ubuntu, the philosophy is spot-on. For those having to use Windows once in a while, there's always http://windizupdate.com/ .
And another thing, the price of clothes and many other things is disproportionate. "S" costs the same as "XXL" -- and that's just a tax on the rest of us. Try buying clothes (or equipment such as sleeping bags) for a "tall" person, though. Usually about 15 - 20% more expensive than other clothes/equipment.
size == momentum (incorporated in mass & rotation); "origin" is not a distinct physical characteristic, especially *if* information cannot be extracted from the black hole; estimated life-span is likewise not a distinct physical characteristic, but depends on the evaporation rate of the 'hole, which may be obtained from the mass and rotation (which give the mass-to-surface-area ratio simply in the case of no rotation, and more complicatedly in the case of non-zero rotation).
Yeah, but once there's a live-action/CG movie of The Gummybears, I'm there, man, I'm there! And I want my couch-cushion fort in the theater, too. Here, let me fix that for you:
"I'm there, man! In fact, I'm bouncing here and there and everywhere!"
I always thought it was cool how'd he'd craft all sorts of nifty inventions with just what he had on hand. Oh, yeah! That part usually got subsumed under the incredible plots and acting.
Using the golden section is not particularly clever; the cleverness lies in the golden section itself and its apparent ability to enhance artistic beauty. Since it has been shown to do so in terms of visual arts [...] Meh. Yes, rectangular thingies appearing with something close to the golden ratio are often visually "balanced". And it does appear quite often (though one usually has to look closely for it) in nature. However, the spate of finding the golden ratio in every bit of classical architecture and sketch by Da Vinci is annoying when you realize that the findings are pretty much artistic numerology: The ratios are ALWAYS approximate (as they must be), and usually VERY approximate, along the lines of "Gosh, this thing and this thing are in the ratio of 1.5 to 1... It's the golden ratio!", and "If I just tweak this line to lie here, under this, instead of over that, well, that's pretty close to the golden ratio."
I'm not aware of any artwork touted as having deliberately included the ratio in it, and being particularly pleasing.

On par with anyone else's system?
I use my own OS written in brainfuck, you insensitive clod!

apostrophes? That'd be sweet.

Dowsing rods actually do an awfully good job at detecting idiots!
Thank you! Your message needs to be modded -- at the least -- informative.
Just goes to show how often I use Windows these days!
Why do you hate America?!?
You KNOW that wouldn't be sent so blatantly, though. Remember to "Beware of The Leopard".

Definitely, definitely.
Yeah, and then inspire slashdot headlines about 'gushing over' it.
Or a Special Forces group. Or any of several classified government groups. Or a (weird but true) philanthropic group such as the PEO.
No way! What a great idea!
I'm tempted to tinker with ZFS just for its snapshotting abilities. You don't have to run a server to find that useful.
Note that the "K" you mention in the article is always capitalized, and, yes, it's standard nomenclature to use a postfixed "K" to represent Kelvins.

You must be one of those mouth-breathing Huskies :)

In a just and reasonable world you'd specify a base-10 log there, rather than leave it ambiguous :)
