IMO Slackware is still the best Distro. I've been using it since 2.3 back in the 1.0 kernel days. I love its simplicity; it's designed so you can edit the config files yourself, none of the GUI tools so many distros like now with the actual config files hidden all over the place.
I would also like to see you defend your comment about most of the space research budget has been diverted to militarizing space. That just sounds like a whole lot of bunk.
Nasa's 2005 budget was $16 billion
In 2005, the US spent $10 billion on Space Weapons R&D
The JWST can not do everything at the same time, it can only be pointed in one spot. Astronomers have very limited time to access hubble even if they have the funding. There is plenty of demand for valid research to keep both telescopes busy 100% of the time.
By your logic, why do we have so many terrestrial telescopes? As each new and bigger one is built we should dismantle the previous ones because they cost money to run. Besides they can cover different spectra. By your logic, why build optical telescopes when we have huge radio telescope arrays?
The US has already fallen way behind in scientific research.
America scrapped its supercollider while the Europeans built their LHC at CERN, so Europe will lead nuclear research for at least the next 20 years. Europe and Japan are doing advanced medical research while the US cuts funding and asks if its ethical to use stem cells.
The US has decided to abandon the Hubble telescope and allow it to burn up in the atmosphere, virtually abandon manned space travel, and divert most of the space research budget to militarizing space. Meanwhile the ESA is doing most of the space research and even China is launching manned missions.
Los Alamos losing its shine is such a minor thing compared to the rest of the US scientific community, it's barely worth noticing. The sad thing is by the time enough people notice the US is falling behind, it will be too late.
He might even find a lawyer to work for him on a pro bono basis, with the expectation of the judge ordering the other party to pay for the lawyer's services.
If a the lawyer is working for free with an expectation of the judge ordering the other party to pay for the lawyer's services, the lawyer is not working pro bono. It couldn't be more clear, you anonymous tard.
If you never go outside, it can show you what the world looks like.
For the rest of us, take a GPS datalogger when boating, biking, driving, etc. Then import the data into Google Earth to have a satellite image with your trek pre-drawn on it.
I doubt cellphones will move in that direction except for a few fringe models like the Treo line.
Cellphones need to be rugged enough to take with you all the time (no hard drives or large fragile screens allowed), and should be as small as practical, also to have with you all the time.
As for Apple's DRM being "a pain," I don't know how she could possibly think that. I've never even hit a limitation with it, and I forget it's there. It's the most liberal DRM in existence.
Maybe you don't actually do much with your media.
When my powerbook's logic board died 2 months out of warranty, Apple was wonderful about replacing it for free anyway with no hassle. However, it left my iTMS account registered with no way I could unregister it before or after the repair. It took a huge amount of effort on phone with Apple to get them to reset it for me, and I had to listen to them go on and on about how I should always deregister before taking the computer in for servicing even if the computer is inoperable (that makes no sense). It was far easier to get them to do an expensive repair for free out of warranty than it was to get them to reset my DRM account.
I also once lost all my downloaded songs in a HD crash, with the only copy I had left on my iPod. Thanks to Apple DRM you're not supposed to be able to recover music from the iPod. Of course you can, but it's a pain inflicted by DRM to do so.
You just don't get it. It's a game. It's supposed to be fun. Not work. There's no value in the saved data except a few bits set. There's nothing there that needs to be backed up.

Then why have the locked content at all if you just have the extra step to look on the internet to find and use cheat codes to unlock it?
How is that better than having all the content open and you choose what to play when you want?

How about when you go back to the old game 5 years later and have lost all your save data for it? Still want to have to put in 500 hours to unlock your favorite part again?
Why should you be forced to play the same boring content over and over just to get to the content you do want?
Turns out users were deleting rows in the template spreadsheets deemed irrelevant and unnecessary to their work. Guess what got deleted along with the "unnecessary rows"? Yep, chunks of macros critical to the proper function of the workbench.
Then the problem is with the users.
You don't edit the source of websites to delete chunks you have no interest in. You don't delete chunks of the windows code that are irrelevant and unnecessary to you. You don't delete chunks of any program. Why should people think this is okay in a spreadsheet?

From the summary: "$2.32 million worth of black Nintendo DS Lite systems stolen in Hong Kong when their shipment making its way"
So you didn't even read the first line of the summary before wrongly accusing someone else of not reading the summary. Nice irony.
The book was pretty awful, but it did raise good points (and pound the reader over the head with them).

That's not what pro bono means.

With net neutrality, the users pay for access to the internet and the web sites pay for their bandwidth. That's how it should be.

First, in scientific circles, "massive" means "has mass". A hydrogen atom is "massive". Look at defintion 3 in the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary.
Second, where is your source that Jupiter generates more radiant energy than it reflects?
to come up with "A massive body that reflects more radient engergy than it generates".
You will when you get the bill. $4000 for that cat.
European beer isn't that much better than American. It's bad enough that it doesn't even matter if you drink it at room temperature.
Canadian beer is the best, just stay away from Molson or Labatt's.

That's what I meant about not finding 12 americans smart enough to form a jury.
Exactly.
Yes, it's called Jury Nullification. The problem is I doubt any jury of 12 average americans will be smart enough to do anything useful.

focus on 'informing parents and protecting children' from the alleged dangers of those types of games.
It would be better to protect children from a knowledge-phobic society first.
