Dune and Dune Messiah aren't drivel. Children of Dune, well, only sort of drivel. God help us if they ever make a movie out of Chapterhouse: Dune, or, worse yet, that crap that Herbert's son has been peddling.
They are wondering if the Executive Branch has told Google what to put on its website, say to try to make it harder for people to determine just how bad things still are in the affected regions.
There's a reason so few students do the reading. In general, CS books are very poorly written. It's much easier to read a book in clear, concise prose with some stylistic interest and which proffers easily understood explanations than it is to read a book written in turgid prose with unnecessarily dense explanations. Some of the concepts that CS text books explain in a chapter of verbal cruft could be better explained in three paragraphs of transparent analogy.
I haven't seen this problem yet, and I use my PowerMac G5 as a hub often, though usually I use my trusty old silver Airport Base Station (the one with the bad capacitor which never went bad on me) - not when using my MacBook as a client, not when using an XP box as a client. So it's not a matter of Apple completely and utterly breaking wireless support - rather, there is probably some issue with the WiFi driver for the poster's Mini that might be caused by interaction with some other piece of software (Apple hardware is not terribly heterogeneous, so when you see hard-to-replicate issues like this, it's usually due to software interactions). Since the problem cropped up with an Apple update, my guess is that it is Apple's problem. My suggestion would be to use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the Mini to a FireWire hard drive, wipe the drive, reinstall OS X, update the machine, then reinstall the software (and reconnect hardware devices) one by one on the Mini until the wireless goes out, and report the whole process to Apple so they can find a fix; but that takes a lot of time.
You've got the wrong end of that stick. Daimler bought Chrysler, not the other way around; and now they are desperately trying to find anyone foolish enough to relieve them of the burden.
Put another way, do we really need a pro-mac blog to provide a multi-part essay on why the Zune is not a success? I mean, this thing is as much a dog as the Apple ROKR!
Actually, that's the Motorola ROKR; it wasn't an Apple product, but merely licensed Apple software. If you had said "Apple Newton" or "Apple Lisa," you'd have made a better point (but not "Apple Pippin," as the Pippin was also intended to be a licensed technology platform and not an Apple product.
Either Asimov or Clarke, can't remember which. A classic story about asynchronous communication, so you'd think it would be Clarke, but the humor is more Asimov, which is why I can't remember which. Someone is stranded on Pluto, IIRC.
He's obviously quoting someone else's term here. Besides, the fellow is Finnish - don't expect him to write Standard English and speak RP (or Standard American English and speak General American/Standard Midwestern or Mid-Atlantic).
I'm pretty sure Pogue did write the whole book. Oh, yes, he is becoming a brand name: that's why the Missing Manuals series says it's from Pogue Press (a subsidiary of O'Reilly); but if Pogue's name is the only name on the cover, he wrote it. Anyway, Pogue has had some problems with typing (maybe it was carpal tunnel?) in the past and had to use Windows for Dragon Naturally Speaking, and his review of Vista comparing it to OS X was almost certainly based upon the research for this book.

Yeah, they're the registrants of record on all of my domains, too. Hey, does that mean that I'm an IBM corporate lawyer? If so, I've got some back pay coming to me...
And just to nitpick further, we know from Archimedes' Arenarius that Aristarchos proposed the heliocentric model a couple of thousand years ago.
But Aristarchus of Samos produced writings of certain hypotheses in which it follows from the suppositions that the world is many times what is now claimed. For he supposes that the fixed stars and the sun remain motionless, while the earth revolves about the sun on the circumference of a circle which is placed on the middle road, but that the sphere of the fixed stars, which is placed about the same center as the sun, is so large in magnitude that the circle on which he supposes the earth to revolve has the sort of proportion to the distance of the fixed stars that the center of the sphere has to the surface.
If you look at the United States in Google Earth, you'll notice that Massachusetts stands right out on the globe as a high-resolution patch. This is because the Massachusetts Office of Geographic and Environmental Information (MassGIS) maintains high-resolution images of the entire state, and Google Maps/Google Earth obtains its data for Massachusetts from MassGIS. I can't find anything specific about why these sites are pixelated (the UMass/Lowell one is almost certainly not a sensitive site), but I would imagine that it would be an effect of state or federal homeland security legislation.
1. Scientists notice that a planetary atmosphere with much higher amounts of carbon dioxide is much, much warmer than earth. 2. Scientists hypothesize that carbon dioxide traps sunlight leading to what they call a "runaway greenhouse effect" which warms that planet dramatically, compared to its orbit. 3. Scientists speculate that large increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide on earth might lead to global warming. 4. Scientists speculate that periods in geological history when temperatures were warmer (for example, the Mesozoic) might have have had higher carbon dioxide amounts in the atmosphere. 5. Other scientists note sharp increases in calculated temperatures in recent historical times versus those suggest by various climate history research (ice cores, etc.). 6. Scientists speculate that carbon dioxide and other "greenhouse gases" produced by industrialization are leading to a new cycle of global warming. 7. Large corporations see their enormous profit margins (and consequent fat bonuses) threatened by the expense of new anti-pollution regulations, and make huge donations to their pet legislators and commission fixed studies. 8. Pet legislators denounce scientists warning about global warming as fruitcakes. 9. Average idiot voters decides that global warming isn't happening, is happening but is caused by cow farts, is happening and is anthropogenic but is caused by too many people breathing, and is happening and is anthropogenic and is caused by industrialization, but that's ok because it's much warmer in the winter now and the golf season is longer, and that it isn't happening and is all the result of an east-coast bias in the news because of all the snow in Colorado (where, of course, it snows more in warmer winters than in colder ones), all simultaneously because they are properly conditioned for goodthink, and besides, the corporations' pet legislators have been feeding them anti-intellectual tripe since the 17th century. 10. Masses of semi-employed pseudo-libertarians post the same arguments on slashdot to prove how intellectually independent they are.

One of the problems is lack of standardization, and one of the symptoms is Yahoo! normalizing Flickr's user accounts with its own?

Because any energy you apply to either particle of an entangled pair disentangles them. There is no Royal Road to the Ansible through entanglement.

Wow, a mod who gets it. That's impressive.
If it's your fiance, I'd say probably he is in their target demographic. If it's your fiancée, I'd say no, she probably is not.
This is why spelling is sometimes very, very important.
I do not, however, believe space exploration is within the constitutionally defined limits of what the federal government should be doing.
Seems to me that it fits right in with the commerce clause.
You're all missing it. This is about intimidating their OTHER employees into sticking around. "Oh my god, we can't quit - we might get sued!"
