Does anyone have calculations on what percentage of water hear on Earth has passed through the body of a human?
What is the probability that any particular H2O molecule has passed through the body of a living organism as urine?
I was an intelligence analyst in the NJ Army National Guard until my contract ended in 2006.
We were deployed twice to protect Port Authority facilities around NY and NJ. On both deployment we had our weapons M16A2s or pistols. On our second deployment we were not given ammunition. Yes, we were walking around in uniforms holding empty rifles.
The best we could do is radio the Port Authority Police or possible club someone trying to steal our weapons. Our combat effectiveness was slightly above that of Nerf.
I know this is kind of off topic, but we've been working really hard to get our project included in Ubuntu universe, so I thought I would mention it. If you are into Python and Glade you should checkout Gladex. We're even a Featured Project on Launchpad.net! Gladex isn't in the Ubuntu or Debian repositories yet, but we do have a PPA going of an alpha release. Alternatively, you can download the stable packages directly.
Gladex is a Python application which takes a.glade file created in the Glade User Interface Builder and generates code in Perl, Python, or Ruby. The generated code uses libglade to draw a GUI and is not raw pygtk code (support via a plugin is in development). Support for additional languages can be added through the plugin API.

Is it possible to use a mobile phone to dial in to a dialup number I can use with a regular modem? My university has free dialup access and my mobile phone operator gives me unlimited minutes on evenings and weekends. I don't want to spend the extra money on a data plan, but I would like to have internet access on the go. I've tried to set this up with the phone I currently have, but it doesn't work.
I suspect that it could be some sort of locked feature. I would purchase a new phone if it meant this would work. My ideal situation is to connect my powerbook to my mobile phone via bluetooth and connect my phone to my university via a regular dialup number. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Okay, I's like to explain what makes ebook readers so bad and what needs to be done to fix them.
Most Slashdotters will recall the days of the internet appliance (remember the i-opener?). What made them so bad is exactly what makes ebook readers so bad: they are only slightly less costly than computers, but are not nearly as useful. The internet appliances were essentially full computers with low specs because they only needed to browse the web. This made them almost as expensive as real computers. Their functionality was limited. They were proprietary and one had to purchase a service plan from a specific vendor.
Now we see the same thing happening with ebook readers. They are as complex as computers and are just as expensive. They have limited functionality. They are proprietary.
Here is the device I would like to see. A Bluetooth/USB ePaper display. Let a person's smart phone, computer render everything and tell the display what to do. The display wouldn't have to implement all sorts of complex file formats, the external device will take care of it.
A display like this could be useful beyond ebooks. You might want one sitting next to your desk or in the server room displaying information. You might attach a keyboard to it with extra battery power and processing power. Maybe a bluetooth keyboard with extra battery power for charging your smart phone and ePaper display, allowing your smart phone to handle all the processing.
The main point is that someone needs to produce a simple ePaper display around which others may innovate.
As the temperature of substance increases so does (by definition) the average kinetic energy of each molecule of that substance. If the substance is a fluid the molecules will tend to collide with each other at higher speeds and more frequently as the temperature increases. I wonder if this has anything to do with the rate of mutation. I think a strand of DNA would be more likely to mutate in warmer mediums than in cooler ones.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Give a man the ability to communicate beyond his local community and access the sum of all human knowledge (the internet) and you see him do far more interesting things than catch fish.

But what about the cell phone theory? Oops.
This might be interesting as a rescue device.
If one is made, would it then be considered an endangered species?

Not news. We already know xkcd is funny and the New Yorker isn't. Dinosaurs in 1999 B.C.? Is this guy some kind of unfunny creationist?
Because in your world its okay for the government to own the contents of your brain.
Expect to see them last week.
The percentage of these machines that stay running Linux is probably greater than the percentage of machines that stay running Windows.
From the video it looks like you can work in Blender. Take a look at the link below for the import/export Blender plugins. http://www.blender.org/download/python-scripts/import-export/

With these changes in licensing and governance, can we expect to see a merger of the NeoOffice guys back into OpenOffice?
Why don't we just make power adapters with a pass-through, like a string-light plug, so we can just plug on right into the other?

no no... he said "recovering."
Is it free software? Where can I get the code?

None.
