Physics can be good or bad depending on you and your teacher. If the teacher sucks, then it sucks. But it's mostly about you.
Are you interested in studying why things happen? Do you like math (especially calculus)? Are you satisfied with somebody telling you something or do you want solid proof? Physics can be great. For me, it's the best thing ever, but a surprising amount of people find it boring. If you have an open mind and want to question reality then physics is wonderful -- but remember, it's more than a class.
leprosyn.
A chronic, mildly contagious granulomatous disease of tropical and subtropical regions, caused by the bacillus Mycobacterium leprae, characterized by ulcers of the skin, bone, and viscera and leading to loss of sensation, paralysis, gangrene, and deformation. Also called Hansen's disease.
I don't see where leprosy is defined as not feeling pain, so I must conclude that your conclusion is invalid (I can also think of other cases for which no pain is felt that is not leprosy).
Probably. It was made in the 1980s. I'm pretty sure the X Windows Consortium came together in 1989, so I'd say that it had been around for at least 3 years prior to that (to give it the minimum time necessary to spread).
I'll hazard a guess and say that they're just doing this to scare people into not participating in the product-name-hunt that's going on. Furthermore, I'm sure that it's working. But think for a second: What harm could you possibly come to if you continue helping?
Is it me, or is any device running linux deemed as a huge success/news story? Can't wait for those linux powered vibrators (a penguin in every... well,...).
That's a majoraty democracy, where decisions are made through a majrity vote. More interesting is a unanimous democracy, where 100% agreement must be achieved for decisions to be made.
It's New Scientist. It sounds nice and could be a valid theory, but until we have more detail we won't know. This is what everyone wants to hear about Europa (because of it's oceans), but that doesn't mean that this is more than a guess.
The initial response to patents is always negative. But if you think about it, the supreme court did the right thing. Patents were designed to give people incentive to innovate, and this is a valid situation.
The patents, of course, last too long, but that's congress' fault. If you don't like it, then write to your congressmen/women.

He's the geek who's responsible for the world's shittiest software. He can never get respect from his peers. How sad is that?
Yes, but it's not a 1:1 relationship.
If you can't feel pain, you have leprosy.

... they've been offering lobotomies for years now.
Make that the X Window Consortium.

This text is already on the internet. Obviously there is no need to mirror it...

strangely like the monvie. try reading the book. it's good.
Here here! (or is it 'hear hear'?)
looks like someone got told.
I am consistently impressed by the proffesionality of the kde team. Way to go! (Now if only they taught Mozilla to release on time...)
you forgot an apostrophe.
nice sig
Learn how to spell before you talk more shit.
taste like burning...
Europa is thought to have liquid water oceans under its thick ice layer.

Just because its been mentioned before doesn't make it less relevant and may help in its uptake.
True, but this is a news site, not an advocacy site.
So it would take +/- 30 minutes to burn a 4.7 GB DVD disk.

I hope that mine takes -30 minutes to burn
