Those things are brilliant. Stopped my wrist pain instantly. I try to get them on sale from Newegg, but I've noticed that the RadioShack here carries them pretty cheaply.
The mantra of the 30s is "Wow, that's gonna hurt tomorrow". Wow! I'm quite advanced, then. I'm just into my 30s, and my mantra is, "Wow, that's really hurting right now."
I used (and was very faithful to) Thunderbird for a long time (well, ~ 4 years). Loved the extensions, and the skinning capability. However, it started corrupting its files, so that old emails were lost, it couldn't start correctly, etc. I've since switched to KMail, have much better filtering capabilities, and better addressbook support. It's not nearly so pretty as Thunderbird, but a helluva lot more stable.
Maybe you should look at some of the other articles on the site. The one about proper child-beating techniques for parents should make it clear that it's intended to be taken as tongue in cheek, rather than a factual account of how to raise kids. Oops.
The other poster at this level is correct. The strip obtained from cutting the Möbius strip in "half" is simply a full-twist piece of paper (orientable, having two sides). The two strips obtained from cutting the Möbius strip in "thirds" are another Möbius strip, composed of the "center third" of the parent strip, and another orientable, full-twist strip, composed of the "outer thirds" of the parent strip.
Once you see where the individual strips come from, it's not too hard to figure out why the middle third turns into another strip, and the outer thirds produce a "regular" piece of paper, and why one resultant strip is longer than the other.
Yes, only I was more imagining "This little alloyed, pneumatically-driven, semi-adaptive-neural-net-controlled piggy went 'Wee! Wee! Wee!' all the way home."
I'd heard of the famous skipping bombs, and knew basically how they worked. But I'd never heard of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Chastise, nor the book (or movie) "The Dam Busters". Additionally, it seems that Robert Jackson will produce a remake of the 1954 movie. Most fascinating to me, though, is this Meccano computer. Those engineers were brilliant.
Sure, but when 90 - 95% of that energy is packed in someone's shit, there are probably too many calories being eaten, in whatever form. (Cue Chuck Norris jokes)
It's very doubtful that was flamebait. The Coward parent was simply pointing out some internal inconsistencies, as everyone is wont to do on Slashdot. Kudos to the parent poster, I say.
Thanks - I nearly gave my keyboard a coffee shower; truly made me LOL. Good show! Recent research has shown that computer parts truly appreciate coffee showers, as they provide new pathways for carrier electrons. To REALLY stimulate your electronics, though, give them coffee enemas!

That's fine for everyone who isn't being censored. The censored will just become insular.

I've run Linux for years and I still can't name all the available distros. I doubt ANYONE can.
I can't name them, either. But I also can't name all the available versions of Windows. So what?
Thorougly (and ironically) muddying the waters is this piece, making everyone's point for him. And check out that first footnote!

How many of those errors were purposefully introduced? Encyclopedias and map makers do that all the time to see if others are plagerizing.
I love irony.
talk: I hate Britannica. It's at best a well spoken gentleman in a pub. It sounds right but I can't be sure. Fixed that for you.
Fixed that for you.
I really never thought I'd see that combination of A, B, and C. It's ironically beautiful, somehow.

No way. Fisher Price spikey plastic records.

Perhaps that's because it's libdvdread3 now?
There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Other people believe that God is completely impartial, and in fact those people authored human rights and so on :
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. (GAL 3:28)
And that's impartial?
in general, you can program in overall commands

Heck. We get "The Sound of Music". Trade ya.
Yeah, and shouldn't he have said "nitpicky stuff"?

USB was o.k. last year, but with 20GB/sec effective transfer rate at most, it simply doesn't do a large modern HDD justice anymore.
Jeeeeezus! Either I'm way behind the times, or your "GB" was meant to be perhaps a thousand times smaller.
The equation that matters is
ENERGY IN = ENERGY OUT
