Try joining some online community about some strong interest of your. If it is big enough sooner or later you'll get a meeting, and sooner or later one around your zone. Of course you should get active in this community, and this is a slow method, but you might get even close friend with this method.
Of course it also helps it you live in a nation smaller then the US, with a language different from the ones most spoken in the world, and you join a community in your language; I don't know how well it works in the other situation.
There are different taxes for media "devoted to music" and "that can be used for music", only the firsts are taxed on a time basis, while the others are taxed based on size.
The silly consequence of this is that we have music CD-R and data CD-R, identical in everything except price.
I believe that the scrolls have been removed, by now, and they're just opening the building; and to small groups of visitors, not to lots of people at a time.
I wonder whether they will develop versions for other OSes, like Mac OS X or linux, or various other unices, or they're only going to take the "virtual machine over win" sector of the market.
Anyway, I don't think that they're easily going to enter the "virtual machines over other OSes" sector, as it isn't currently one who has much trust for microsoft's products, so I believe that VMware can still survive, unlike netscape. (Also because this is not something like a browser, that just goes on any computer, this is something that is only useful to people that are supposed to be somehow tech sawy.)
You may be right, but I seem to remember that the ones who hijacked the planes on 11/7 lived in the US, even if I don't remember wether they were actual US citizen, or they only had a visa or something like that.
They're actually planning to put the whole book under an "open" license, even if they're still considering whether they're going to do so during developement or right after pubblication.
What I do hope is that either they succeed in publishing something soon or they decide to release even the earlier drafts, also because this can be a good way to catch the interest of more people.
For the CVS part, they're already using it, with their own server (I believe).
I don't think that television is a good example of something that could help people get an education, expecially if it is controlled by the same "powers" who rule the country. And the internet can help, but only if someone already has some education: most uneducated people seem to browse only on a few sites, without ever feeling the need to look for something else.
As for the law, there is a similar one in Italy, and it has almost never been enforced, except to colose a few "unconfortable" sites that probably coudn't have been closed otherwise (I seem to remember that one of them was the blasphemy case).
If somebody (like me) don't really have any other place for hi-tech except their own room silky drapes around your bed can be a good idea: you just go for the most silent pieces of equipment that you can find and them the drapes cover up the rest of the noise.
Of course there is still the problem of work calls, but for them you (and your significant other, and people at work) just have to decide between 24/7 availability (and relative higher pay) or switch off your phone and the like.
Used with care it can stil be a good thing: the pharmacist can take the recipe, put it in the computer, read it on the screen (without need to decipher arcane writings), check that there are no errors and send the robot to get it, while they have time to give proper advices to the customer, or just serve the next one.
Of course it can also be used in the wrong way, but that's the same with almost everything.

Probably just different.
I guess that they're going either to make some almost tasteless meat that you're going to eat with lots of sausage, or extra spiced meat that doesn't need anything before it can be eaten, maybe not even cooking.
I suppose they could give also a "fake game meat" taste, and I also suppose that most people won't care, and that's the sad thing
but if you're working with/dev/hdc you're supposed to know what you have on that drive, while D: could be the first drive of the second controller as well as the second partition of the disk on the first drive on the first controller or anything else.
On *nix, those who merely need to access some data on it, on the other side, don't need to bother about this, as it will be probably mounted on some directory with a more meaningful name
Invariant sections have to be "secondary sections" i.e. not about the main technical subject of the document, so I believe that they can't be used to make a document non-free. Anyway they're not new to this edition of the license.
I agree that they can lead to problems when translating the document, but such problems can be accepted in exchange for the great flexibility given by invariant sections.
traffic on the low numbered ports is low-bandwith: after the request has been made (on the port on which the server is listening) all of the data goes on a random > 1024 one.
anyway it is quite probable that in this case also most of the requests are for high-numbered ports.
The "secret" archive is a library just like any other library with ancient texts: you can access it only for (demonstrable) scholarly research and you can't take pictures of what they have, mostly because it could ruin the manuscripts. They however provide a service of photographic reproduction, as they're not worried about the content, but about the medium itself. Things after 1801 are likely to be still under copyright, so in some cases they just can't reproduce them (just like a local library can't reproduce the books it owns).
Some of your suggestions may be good, but he's talking about a 17C room, not a 0C one!
I mean, the big problem over there wouldn't be cold in itself but the cold air flows and the passage between the heated outside and the server room, as these are the ones that could really cause harm.
Common warm clothes are usually enough to stand even colder temperature: the main thing you should take care of is not to leave uncovered spots, expecially the head and neck. An hat will help, but a scarf would be really better (expecially if you don't have long hairs)
For the hands-so-cold-you-can't-type part, you can try to have some computer blowing its warm air toward the keyboard (there are hot spot in the room, so why not taking advantage of them).
It is true. space travel isn't for tourists yet. Just like ocean travel wasn't a few centuries ago and sea traveling even before. So probably it will be only a matter of time before it becomes.
Anyway, I don't see a valid reason why a "tourist" should be forbidden from trying space travel, expecially if he's taking some proper training before and he's paying enought to compensate for the absence of another "scientist" on the launch. They know the risk, it's up to them to take it or not.
It is true, even when somebody chooses to earn quite some money as a porno actress instead of working day and night in some backbreaking job for less than half the money is still her own choice.
And there are some cases when I believe it can even be the right one.
Only I don't believe that "they choose to became porn actresses, so they must enjoy it" is a good reasoning.
Would you care to tell us, how computer game character should be choosen so as not to be sexist.
it is easy: write a good game, or at least a game that is not clearly another bad copy of a previous success, and I won't care if the main character is a woman, a man or a three-breasted Whore of Eroticon Six.
Men enjoying the female form are not insulting. Men writing a crappy game whose main feature is an oversized female character as the late Tomb Rider are is another thing.
Oh, and I believe that a good lot of porn actress begun that work because they needed money, not because they enjoied it that much. (of course they're not all of them)
My question for the/. crowd would be why someone chooses Debian over slack or vice versa.
I've chosen Slack because I've found it easier to configure and because the stable version is more updated than the Deb one. Anyway I'm planning to give another try at Deb as soon as I have a spare box.

I suggest to leave some of them free for the air flow, either with or without fans. Expecially near burners and other stuff that tends to get hot.
If you want to have them look cool you can always paint (or paste, or... whell, get creative here) some geeky stuff on the plastic covers.

Medieval Fanatic girl reads slashdot, finds this and say "well, nice". So you may say that the author didn't fully fail.

By the way, lots of the rare texts in the Vatican library have little to do with religion: they also have quite a collection of greek and latin works.
