Since it's sabotage of the CERN collider has not been especially effective in preventing the restart of the collider, I believe that these spirals are a warning from a future Higgs boson. I urge CERN to immediately halt all testing until we receive more information from H b.
Sure, punch cards, and I also remember paper tape that used to write from and read to teletype terminals connect to an IBM 360 or something back in college. How old am I?
Apparently this is a known bug, yet the it was still in the Karmic release. So, I've got openSuse ready for an install tomorrow. PulseAudio seemed to be working ok for me though.
The story line for The Prisoner (1967 - 1968) is eerily similar to the 1965 movie called "Thirty Six Hours", http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/36_Hours. In it, James Garner wakes up in a hospital supposedly five years after attending the final briefing for the D-Day invasion. He is disoriented; there's a newspaper dated five years later. He goes to the window and looks out in a scene reminiscent of the opening sequence of The Prisoner. Instead of the village, he sees the hospital grounds.
The deception is an attempt to discover the plans for the D-Day invasion, "by hook or by crook". It's uncanny how similar The Prisoner is to this movie.
It's been a long time since I've seen the movie, but I believe that the Garner character is referred to as Number Two (instead of number six in The Prisoner), as well as other similarities.
Word from Apple is that "Users will notice refinements including a more responsive Finder; Mail that loads messages up to twice as fast; Time Machine with an up to 80 percent faster initial backup; a Dock with Expose integration; QuickTime X with a redesigned player that allows users to easily view, record, trim and share video; and a 64-bit version of Safari 4 that is up to 50 percent faster and resistant to crashes caused by plug-ins. Snow Leopard is half the size of the previous version and frees up to 7GB of drive space once installed."
It sounds like a deal to me for $29, especially reclaiming 7G of hard drive space.
I believe that the program has already received an additional two billion dollars of funding by Congress last Friday before they recessed for the summer.
Yes, the the patrons of those scientists had a vested theological interest in those positions. Not that any actual science was really conducted to validate them...
Perhaps not unlike the corporate interests of some scientists these days.
I sure do. It must be 40 years old now, but I've still got my Lionel-Porter Chemcraft Chemistry Lab. I'm afraid to open the small chemical bottles to see if they're still good. I've got 17 of them, a Porter alcohol burner, a couple of test tube and the Adventures With Chemistry book, copyrighted in 1958, and filled with experiments. Apparently this was produced by the Lionel Toy Corporation.
The closest thing to terrorism I could find was Experiment 344 - Proteins Contain Sulfur: Mix some egg white with a smalll amount of Calcium Oxide (No. 20) to make a dough. Put this mixture in a test tube and heat. After the mass turns brown, cool it and fill the tube 1/4 full of water. Shake and pour off the brown liquid into another test tube. Add 2 measures of Sodium Bisulfate (No. 7) and heat to boiling. Remove fromthe heat and smell for hydrogen sulfide gas. This smell is like rotten eggs.
"The no-charge home pickup program was announced in June. Dell already offers similar programs in Europe and Canada."
The kind "offer" of Dell's is actually required by law in Europe, and has been since August 2005. The WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive) legislation came into effect prior to RoHS. One part of this Directive is that any product containing any of six banned substances (lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE)), must be collected and returned to the manufacturer, or his agent, for proper disposal. Similar legislation is coming into effect in a few US states soon, as well as to Japan, China and others.
Thank you Dell, for offering to comply with the law.
My day job is agency approval engineer for a commercial cooking equipment manufacturer. I have to deal with a number of European agencies and regulations. There are two Directives coming into effect within the next 16 months that deal with just this subject.
The first is RoHS, that stands for Restrictions on Hazardous Substances. There are six substances that will be banned in July 2006, including lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls or polybrominated diphenyl ethers. Some of these are used in switches, some on circuit boards, some in other parts of electrical equipment. These will be banned, and manufacturers will need to provide documentation that their products do not contain any of these substances.
The second is WEEE, that stands for waste electrical and electronic equipment . This requires the Manufacturer to be responsible for reclaiming any of their products if they contain hazardous materials. This goes into effect summer this year.
These do apply only in European Union countries (assuming there is an EU after the latest constitutional debacle), China, Japan and others. However, California, Maine, and other US states are also contemplating legislation similar to RoHS and WEEE directives.
So whatever you may think about who's responsible for this, it is going to be the manufacturer who is responsible. And I would bet dollars to donuts that pricing will reflect the cost of this.
There were a lot of people that worked a lot of hours in the months before Y2K to audit financial software where my girlfriend works. They found a lot of date related problems and fixed them before 1/1/00, or should I say 1/1/2000.
These types of audits and reviews are what averted the Y2K issues.
After his other two sons defected to Jordan, Hussein offered them amnesty if they would come home. Being no smarter than their father, they went home. They were executed by their father.
If anything, the other two sons will have more of a chance in the hands of the Iraqi people than they had with their father.

You just don't see the word "cross" used very much anymore. It's just the perfect word sometimes.

Damn, I thought it said Sam Raimi.

So now it will be called Team Shack. Maybe they can get the B-52s to do some kind of theme music for their appearances?

The majority of scientists used to agree that the earth was flat. And at the center of the universe.
I have it on the best authority that the earth was created in 1972.
When I read the headline I thought if this worked out that there might be help for my L4 and L5 back problems.
Apparently I was not-so-obviously joking.
Obviously we did already because there's a camera shot from the asteroid of Earth.

I had some fun with that one.
Amazingly, the suggestion link at the bottom of the page seems to work just fine on this mac with safari.

Interesting article, but this article was published on 11th September 2003.
Why don't you edit your sources.list to get only the security updates then?
