If the object that defines the mass of a kilogram is showing less massive, isn't it possible that whatever they are using to weigh it needs to be calibrated by said object? They said that the "missing" mass is equivalent to the mass of a finger print. Maybe it was cleaning day and someone cleaned of an old fingerprint?
It took 15+ minutes to copy a 2GB SD card to my dads Dell Laptop with Vista, using the built in SD card reader. It only takes 1-2 minutes on my XP machine. As far as I am concerned Vista is nothing but very bloated POS that gives me nothing more than eye candy.
That really isn't fair. If you look at the time stamp it is 1 minute behind the previous (first) post. He probably clicked reply before there were any posts and the previous post was submitted very shortly before his. If 2 or more posts are submitted more or less at the same time, the 2nd shouldn't be penalized for being a few seconds behind. If the posted time showed a 5+ minute difference then "redundant" would be justified.
Boy you are really missing the point. bladesjester is correct. Your "simplified" answer gave me a headache and I have been into computers since the early 80's. The "computer geek" that understands that makes up probably less than 5% of computer users. Which is as hi as Linux desktop market penetration will ever get if they continue to keep things so complex/complicated.

I am not sure why I am bothering to reply to your post, I looked at your history and from "post #1" you have been doing nothing but making posts about how nerds are nothing and jocks are cool. My guess is you work flipping burgers at a Wendy's somewhere and are pissed of at all the successful "nerds" you used to pick on in school. You have nothing better to do than try to hold on to your lost "glory" of being a high school bully. You must have a very fulfilling life.
When all these kids get in the real world and have more important things to do than pay constant/immediate attention to the cell phone's IM's it won't be so "cool" and useful. An intelligent communication can be handled a lot better through an E-mail (or phone call or in person) than IM'ing.
Didn't the Aspect Experiment back in the '80s demonstrate this effect?
Well, I looked it over, contemplated it, thought about it in depth for a while and I came to the conclusion that I have no fucking idea what that proves, and now I have a headache, thank you.
I want one for the Blu-Ray player. I have a 61" DLP set that is just screaming for Blu-Ray or HD DVD, Personally I like Blu-Ray. Currently stand alone Blu-Ray players are $650+ (from a quick Google search). From the reviews I have read it holds up fairly well against them. Plus an awesome gaming machine.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PERPETUAL MOTION MACHINE. NEVER EVER EVER NEVER NEVER EVER. Can we, as a species, please get over it?
Although I agree with your statement for the most part, It is short sided to say "NEVER EVER EVER NEVER NEVER EVER". There have been a lot of things that scientist (and others) claimed could never happen, just to be proven wrong in the future (ie we can never go faster than the speed of sound). We have a few hundred years,if that, of "modern" science under our belts. In a few million years, our level of knowledge will be a lot closer to a caveman then a scientist. Never say never.

Is Ubuntu Christian Edition *really* what jesus would download?
Isn't that: Ubuntu 1007.08 LTS "Conservative Christian"

It sounded more interesting when I misread it at first.
Hear hear!

Offtopic? I thought SpaceBalls was required viewing for all /.ers
I hope it isn't Raspberry, I hate Raspberry!

I am not really sure how to take that.

proper memory management ?
What good is it if it still runs slower?

I agree, What does Vista give you except a really slow & bogged down machine and some eye candy.
To name it after a hot Star Trek character.

"+5, Informative" for correcting a mistake? Boy they are handed out easy these days.

That the first thing I thought of when reading the title was, "50 years of anime?"
*Corrections* short-sighted / scientists / our current level of knowledge
Sorry about that, tired.
