Have you used Office 2007? Atleast Excel, which is the product I use most often, is quite incredible. Lots of productivity improvements. Perhaps superficial, ie. the basic spreadsheet paradigm remains the same, but it certainly has tons of features I find myself missing with OpenOffice or the previous versions of MS Office.
You're blabbering. The patent linked to from the article and the slashdot summary has nothing to do with music. I actually read the patent, and understood it (being one of those biology PhDs).
If you use it cautiously and gently, Boost greatly improves the expressiveness of C++. C++ is a dolt by itself, Boost makes it a person of slightly below-average intelligence with Tourette's.
More scholarships and assistantships are restricted to American citizens than are open to international students. They may not have undergraduate student loans, but they're also usually working against a massive differential in home currency:dollar conversion. For many of them, even the flight to the US is a huge expense.
I'm American, therefore I know about the Euro and and the peso... I know what the peso is just 'cause I live in Arizona:-)
I just thought it was funny... picturing a little Link holding a computer over his head
you're really going all out to fit the stupid american stereotype, aren't you?
There is the possibility that watching porn modified a third behavior that had the side effect of making them more lenient with respect to rape sentences. Sure, ultimately this is a "causation", but it is an indirect effect, which changes the conclusions drawn from the study a lot.
Two reasons why that doesn't appeal to me: one, there are many govt. mandated benefits for those in the "lower" castes -- today, it's almost a disadvantage to be one of the "forward" castes in India, if you want a job, or to enter college. Two, the importance of a sociological problem cannot be judged by the raw number of people affected by it -- there are too many other factors in play. I could make arguments about the population of India and how casteism is by no means the biggest problem these people face. I could also make arguments about how the most developed nation in the world suffers from the same racial discriminatory issues and ignorance and paranoia and xenophobia.
Of course it exists. Just in fewer places. Just like racism still exists in many small towns in the USA. And India has to deal with a whole lot more diversity than the US.

You sir, Mr.Grandparent poster, are a moron. Why are all the forums on the internet filled with fucking asshats like you? Why do you think it matters whether more people died now or in 2001? Can you not see that regardless of how many people died in which disaster, sympathy and help is required now, as it was required then? Will you fucking grow up and be human?
There is no sense in comparing disasters.
PS. I do not mean to insult you personally, just the idea you are putting forward.
"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."

Well, we prefer to _clean_ our asses with water, as opposed to just smearing the poo a little bit.
with great power comes great responsibility..
uptime, for various properties of the system.
they aren't helping to get around the shaping.

Wrong patent. Shows you how many people even bother to RTFA.

No, cue all the non-H1Bs who're attacking the H1B program. _They_ will be unbiased, for sure.
That's absolutely ridiculous. International students can afford these things but not American students?

The XP install on a virtual disk is trivial and documented elsewhere, google is your friend. I recently got VMWare working from a physical partition using these instructions: http://www.advicesource.org/ubuntu/Run_Existing_Wi ndows_Instalation_On_Ubuntu_With_Vmware_player.htm l . YMMV.
How can Washington demand anything while still increasing the US nuclear stockpile?
You're mistaken. I don't think the caste system is forgiveable, I'm just claiming it's not as bad as it is portrayed.

As opposed to the USA?
I think they should do a Indiana Jones/HellBoy archeological supernatural artifact finding, nazi-ass kicking crossover movie. Yeah. That'd be awesome.
Mod this guy down: he has a spoiler in his comment!

I myself donated $500 to AmeriCares which seems to be a fairly reputable charity, and I'm only a poor graduate student.
Those of you who are well off enough, please, donate as much as you can to your favorite charity.
I quote John Donne:
"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."
Did you even read the farking article? India wasn't mentioned anywhere. RTFA.
