The latter make far better scientists, programmers, and engineers.
This holds true for any field. If you hate doing something, chances are you're not going to be very good at it. If you love it, you at least have the motivation to become good if you're not already.
Same here, except I'm double majoring in CS and Chemistry. I'd much rather do CS, because it's what I love and what I'm good at, but IMHO it's too risky to hope for a good career with just a CS degree.
What the world really needs is a cheap, non-bulky rechargable battery.
That would be hydrogen fuel cells.
It's the only thing that keeps solar power, wind power, electric cars, and a lot of other cool sustainable tech from happening.
Not true. Solar power is stagnating because of the high cost required to create solar panels. Wind power requires a lot of real estate, the right location, and maintenance.
Don't get me wrong -- I'm a big supporter of "alternative" energy sources. But the problems are far from simple.
Not feasible, unless you're only communicating with a small group of people. Public key encryption with a sufficiently long key and a decent password is more than enough for most purposes (ie, it should be uncrackable for at least a few decades).
It's a Simpsons reference. Uter had a package of "Joy Joy" candy that said "mit Iodine" (with iodine). At least, I hope it's a Simpsons reference and I'm not an idiot:-)
Wow. The scary thing is that you're probably serious. Okay, suffice to say, at ~50KB/s, the speed of your TCP/IP stack is not the determining factor. Try transferring a few gig and doing fast pings over a LAN, then we can begin to talk about accuracy.
Because it makes it a real pain in the ass for distributors to ensure they're complying with each license...

Have you ever tried Mandrake?
I don't use it normally (I use LFS or Gentoo), but its automatic hardware configuration is amazing. Unfortunately, its package management system kinda sucks.

Ha! I may be in New York, but I'm in Buffalo, which is practically Canada. "Pop" my ass...it's called soda!

Learn to read. Thank you.
You're looking at the README for the alpha. Try here instead.
It's not that difficult these days. Set up a cron job to do "emerge sync && emerge -uD world" or the equivalent every 24 hours. No attention required.

Fool, I2 is just another backbone. It's nice because it makes transfers between many US universities quite fast.
Whooo! I can get one of these for 73 cents! :-P
Yeah yeah, I know what they mean, but that's some horrible wording.
Just grab a stage 3 tarball from here, for example.
I call bullshit. I remember installing Win95 on my 486/DX50, with at least 24MB of RAM, and it ran like crap.
You haven't used Mandrake, have you?
Don't forget enlightened. This reminds me of one of my favorite Bad Religion lines: "The guy running the government is just another jerk."

Unfortunately, their distributor forces you to buy a copy of Windows XP along with the computer.

I thought the real plot twist was when you found out that f'(x) = dx
As a student at a university that also does this (ie, our student ID doubles as a key card)...how do you manage to avoid it?
That doesn't make any sense. Worst case scenario, we'd revert to 2.6.2 or thereabouts, before the Windows source leak.
Worked for me not so long ago. After "emerge system", I just did "emerge kde" and let it run overnight. Configure X, and KDE works great.
Here are some excerpts from the make.conf that I use:
USE="qt kde dvd alsa cdr -gnome gtk2 imap acpi aim apache2 curl directfb emacs fbcon flac java mmx mozilla oscar perl samba sse usb"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4 -funroll-loops -pipe"

No, they care about choice.
Oh, on the contrary.
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge sun-j2sdk
That should get the 1.4.2 J2SDK just fine.
