Actually, with all 4 carriers calls set/recieved to mobile numbers from that carrier are free (don't count against your minute balance). In addition, sprint's most popular plans (in my observation at least) are the ones where all calls to cell-phones on any network are free, and only calls to/from landlines count against your balance.
Also, prepaid in the US is terrible. Until recently ALL prepaid carriers started at 10c/minute, while the postpaid had at most 8c/minute, and generally 5-6. Virgin now offers 5c/minute plans on some of their cheapest phones. That's including the subsidy. Unless you need "unlimited" minutes there's no real sense going prepaid to save money.
It should appear to decrease the score to the account that modded the post down. EG you mod this post down as -1: Disagree and YOU see me as having been modded down. No one else does.
In addition, since all energy is quantized the momentum of the air molecules is quantized. A sufficiently sensitive recording would STILL be "digital" due to this quantization of energy. There is no analog, just very, very, very high resolution digital. Of course, that's an insanely distant limit for recordings to achieve, but ultimately true. Useless in practice.
Tabs are temporary, bookmarks are far more permanent. I open each/. story in a different tab, when reading I open various links in sub-tabs, etc. With bookmarks I'd have to bookmark each link, organize the BMs into trees, then delete the BMs at the end of the session. Why go through all the extra effort when tree-style tabs do it automatically? If I need permanent sets I can use a session manager to save a session, or the "Bookmark this Tree" or "Bookmark all Tabs" features to store it for later use.
Virus has no Latin plural form, so the English plural "viruses" is used. (Virus -i n. slimy liquid, slime; poison, especially of snakes, venom, any harsh taste or smell.)
Thus, it's a third-declension group noun, and thus declines virus, viris, viri, virem, vire. (Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Accusative, Ablative, in that order. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_declension#Comparisons_to_English_usage has a good explanation of what those cases mean.) "Virii" is never correct, because the root is "vir" not "viri". The word is "virus" not "virius"."Viri" can be correct, however, when the virus is the indirect object of the sentence. "Move the cell to the virus" would be correct English, but if one insists on using Latin declensions it would be "Move the cell to the viri."
The Dative singular is the ONLY correct use of "Viri", and even then it's debatable as that's a Latin convention, not an English convention.

KDE 4.5 Released

Also, remember: the default configuration of KDE on Kubuntu may stink, but there's no reason you can't customize it to be fine. Try an OpenSUSE LiveCD, install the Kubuntu-Destkop package on your Ubuntu system, relog to Kubuntu, see what differences you like and which you hate. Change it to suit your needs.
"Do one thing and do it well" depends strongly on your definition of "one thing."
You can have that "one thing" be "resize images" and another one be "draw lines in images" and another be "draw bezier curves on images" and so-on, or you can have that "one thing" be "edit raster images in an easy to use, fast, and powerful environment." KDE's "one thing" is "be a complete desktop environment on top of the Linux Kernel and GNU tools, such that a person can accomplish most or all normal daily tasks." This is subdivided into other projects, there are libraries, KDE games, KDE PIM, KOffice, etc, etc. Each sub-section has one well-defined task, which is sometimes subdivided into other tasks. Lest you think this is silly, even GNU Ed (as of v1.4 at least) does more than one thing, since it can both read and write to files, as well as search through them with regular expressions! Truly following the "UNIX philosophy" would require a microkernel. Since most UNIXes don't use true microkernels it's pretty clear that this philosophy has been somewhat stretched.
If I write 2+2=4 on a piece of paper, is the pattern of graphite math or is the math a pure idea in my mind (and the minds of those who read it)? When I make those squiggly little lines am I "doing math" or am I just making squiggly little lines only vaguely related to math?
Computers are tools to do math. Math is a tool to do quite a large number of things, and computers can have side effects (or monads, or whatever) that let us change the physical world by doing math.
There may not be math in a sunflower's spiral, but the spiral can be described by math. Math may not be everywhere, but it can be used for a very large number of tasks.
Which is why I have a pile of lightly sanded hard drive platters sitting around (they make a good aluminium block to demonstrate magnetic braking, otherwise I'd just trash them.)
I find it fun because there is "real" risk. If I fight that guy, and he kills me, I just lost my ship. I have to get a new one, I don't just respawn with on consequences. I got sick of arenas and battlegrounds in WoW where nothing I did mattered in any way to anyone else but myself and there was no real risk. In EVE I can affect the world around me, even if only in small ways. That's a lot more fun than a game where nothing you do has any consequence.
No, it's a fine conclusion. Don't trust SSDs. Don't trust spinning rust. Don't trust your drives, make sure you have redundancy (RAID) and backups. And don't blindly trust your backups, test them first. Then keep a set off-site.
Now, the implied "don't-trust SSDs, trust rust instead" conclusion is bad.
GIMP is only fine on a tiling window manager. On a normal WM, like GNOME or KDE, it stinks. I want the following: Maximal area to work on an image, without that image covering the toolbars or being covered by the toolbars. Having them all in floating windows I can waste time carefully positioning everything to just the right sizes before starting work. In a single window program, like Photoshop, I maximize the window. The toolbars are docked to the sides, and will neither cover nor be covered by the work area. The work area fills all other available screen space, and thus is easier to use.
The question is, is that because of stopping work for a while to raise kids vs continuing on? One would have to study women who stay at one job/field for their whole lives without long interruptions to raise children as opposed to women who do take maternity leave and possibly even quit for a few years. I suspect the first group would have salaries far closer to that of men, if not equal on average, while the second group would be lower.
The people buying the domain names under.xxx. If you aren't a porn site don't buy a.xxx domain name (since having one implies you are a porn site.) If you are, you can chose to buy a.xxx or not. If you do you're easily blockable, which is an advantage for public appearance (you are under.xxx, anyone who wants to block their kids' access can do so easily) and prevents some external entity from being needed to classify sites as porn-related/non-porn related. It also makes porn easier to find, just search to only show domains ending in.xxx. That's a benefit to income, since searching google like that is easy & makes finding your porn site easier.
Teleportation in life isn't that new either. There have been "ftl" (faster than 1 cell per cycle) movement constructs for years. There has even been a Universal Turing Machine made for Life.

You have made the fatal mistake of assuming that users read warnings and dialogue boxes. They don't.
