Not in my kitchen. I might still have a can or two of Cherry Coke imported from the States somewhere, but most of my sweet foods contain, well, sugar.
But you kind of backed up my point - that people are growing good food (corn) and using it for non-good-food purposes (artificial sweeteners, biofuels, etc).
Unless we go for discrete laser diodes in every pixel, we're likely to end up with a scanning solution like CRTs, probably with mirrors (since you can't bend light with magnets), requiring a bit of spatial depth to the unit. Also, how does one get around the speckle pattern generated by coherent light? The planar surface may need to include some heavy diffuse material, perhaps?
These may have already been solved, in which case hooray for laser TV!
The human eye is much more sensitive to green light than any other (retinal response peaks at about 550nm I believe so these 532/531s are close). Therefore you need much less power to produce a very visible beam.
I actually enjoy watching the DVD every three years or so. Particularly after I found out it was one of only a few movies filmed in 65mm format, which brought about interesting challenges. They had to decide which part of a person's nose to focus on, for example.
Indeed. When he came and spoke in my town I heard RMS actually say that he'd prefer a society where people were forbidden from using non-Free software. Choice wouldn't come into it.
I believe this comes from his strong socialist "You're free to do what we say" world view.

You only need a SFTP server running on the web server, which will (should) be a Unix type system anyway. If you're running a Windows workstation, then there's plenty of clients that support SFTP, such as Filezilla.
Yes, Wikipedia is not like projects such as OpenOffice.org, Mono, Evolution and Red hat Directory Server who do require you to relinquish copyright before your submission is accepted.
I don't know. Once they manage to suppress DNA errors in narrow breeding pools would you suggest there would still be some kind of ethical or moral problem with siblings having children together? Or parent/offspring couples?
I don't know how any mouse would benefit programming, but for serious computing IMO one needs a 3 button mouse. Not these half-button-half-wheel monstrosities that seem to have permeated the market nowadays. For a good old model I can't go past the A4tech 4-button mice like this one.
Pros: Three actual buttons on top, requiring the same amount of pressure per button is a must-have feature AFAIAC Natural locations for each finger, without requiring heavy sideways movement. Two scroll wheels (okay I only use one, but just emphasising the fact that it is *separate* from the buttons) Thumb button is nice Wired. Though not so popular now I consider this a pro since I don't like replacing batteries.
Cons: Opto-mechanical, ie not optical. This is a show-stopper for many. Obsolete. They're PS/2 only and hard to find these days.
Any modern mouse that had three proper buttons on top would probably do just as well. Does anyone know of any?
I'm not sure on what grounds you claim that file corruption is the most common cause of storage failure. Typically I see SMART reporting bad sectors, or if I miss them, mdadm drops a disk from an array due to write errors. Once a disk has been dropped more than once I replace it. In those cases replacing the disk before a catastrophic failure is the prudent thing to do. I very rarely have to delve into backups except, of course, to retrieve accidentally deleted files and for testing purposes.
A healthy way to look at your hard disks is as one of two states; failed, or not quite failed yet. Mechanical hard disk failure is a normal and expected event. Relying on backups to dig you out isn't.
Tell me, how often do you back up your data? Daily? Hourly? Because when your hard disk craps out after a morning's work you'll be mighty grateful for that RAID-1 mirror.

Some tomatos, some potatos, squash, egg yolk, corn...
Wait, corn can be a food? I thought it was some kind of fuel source. You know, like dirt in Texas.
Indeed, but I see two problems:

Ozzie won't go on stage without a brandy glass of one fousand bvown M&Ms. Maybe his stagehand just misheard the colour.
All those stage antics do carry a high risk of spinal injury, after all.
Cool, got a link to the peer-reviewed paper? Thanks.
Damn, you stole my line! :)
I'd mod you up, but have already posted here...
You mean like, "Send in the logic probe!" :)

They have an "official" implementation, but nothing like the rather rigorously specified ISO C standard.
Oh, you mean like OOXML?

That's funny, because I was always taught to never rely on backups. You know, write-often, read rarely and all that.

Well put, sir. The right to bear arms is, and has been for at least 100 years now, nothing more than angry boys wanting to keep their toys.
