First line is enough: "Linux doesn't exist in 2007. Even Linus has got a job today." Controversial statements from the head of Microsoft's Linux Labs...
Although they are a non profit, they do provide links to lots of people who will be happy to sell you some vitamin D.
Vitamin D is about as close to a commodity as you can get. No one's going to get rich selling vitamin D. No one owns the formula. The manufacturing process is well known. No trade secrets. If it was "Sooper Dooper new Substance X that only I have the formula for" I'd be suspicious.
Dude, convince them to get you a cheap mac mini and set up Xgrid clustering on those quad core mac pros. You'll be leaching off their processors in no time.:)
If the risk of my dying in a car accident due to using inferior brake pads is higher than the risk of dying from cancer due to breathing in asbestos dust, then yes.
Got any stats to back that up? (i.e. your tacit assertion that traffic fatalities have gone up...)
Disclaimer: I'm not a car nut, so I'm going on the assumtion that the new non-asbestos organic brake pads are in fact inferior.
So you make your argument, then say, "My argument is based on pulling a fact out of my ass."
This refutes your WTC asbestos claims. from the article: "Asbestos would have been not better in resisting this level of heat. Indeed, sprayed-on asbestos might well have been blasted away more readily than other material due to its lightweight, loose-fiber constituency."
And, am I reading you correctly about brakes? You like having asbestos dust in the air produced from brake pads?
I have a 42 inch 1080p LCD, and the image quality is "bad" just watching regular DVD's. Granted the iTunes content is a tad worse, but it's in the same ballpark. The only stuff that looks really good is broadcast high def or a blue ray disk.
One cool application of rapid prototyping I've seen is "invisible braces." Essentially a mold of your mouth is taken, then a computer model is created of where you teeth should be. A series of hard plastic mouth molds is then created that "morphs" your mouth from the reality to the desired. The molds are created using the rapid prototyping.
When Michael Faraday was asked "What good is electricity?" he replied, "What good is a baby?"
I think you're missing the distinction between science and engineering. Science doesn't care at all about "what good" something is, or what you can do with physical phenomena. Engineering does. Science is about discovering how the universe works. Engineering is about making it do stuff we want, i.e. making it "useful."
Odd you should mention this, though. My wife is engineering our first baby right now.:)

You know how Star trek 5 exists, but we just don't talk about it? Yep. M$Cult is like that.
Wonder no more...

By the same reasoning a DOS attack is protected speech. It's just some computers exercising their right to communicate freely, ya?

Then they'll just track YOUR BRAIN.
The Spiderman 3 game has a realistic map of New York City.
Are the devs terrorists?
Ah, it's the "Contrary to what some 'bad_folks' would have us believe, there is always 'my_rational_point'" argument again.
Contrary to what some slashdotters would have us believe, the world really is round.
Contrary to what some liberals would have us believe, there are people out to kill us.
You could actually quote specific and credible sources to refute, you know.

Vitamin D?
Be serious.

No. It just means that the rules changed. The game goes on.

Which is why such speculation is somewhat useless.
You mean, specifically, "Swinney, meanwhile, thinks that the process is unlikely to apply to large-scale flows such as that on Saturn, but might be relevant to smaller-scale phenomena such as tornadoes."

My AppleTV just departed Anchorage, Alaska via FedEx. It should hit my front porch on Friday. I'll have the whole weekend to hack. :)
