In another thread it was mentioned that the center of gravity will be in geosynchronous orbit. Even if several miles are cut off at the bottom, the center of gravity will change so little that it wouldn't have a major impact on the position of the elevator. There might be slow driftage, but slow enough for it to be corrected by putting back however many miles were cut off.
The search field to the left is a simple title search, which is adequate in many cases. In case there's no title match, you're sent to a full text search. However, the wikipedia search that you mentioned was disabled is the full text search. It used to say that, but for some reason it doesn't right now.
Quoth the parent poster; "Still, it takes money to run such an amazing resource, and so they are running a fundraiser. The goal is to raise $50,000." why dont they use Google Adsense?
According to About Wikipedia, they do not wish to use advertisements. I read elsewhere (which I of course can't find now) that this is partly because they want to appear as unbiased as possible.
The third symbol, which I can't even figure out how to explain what it looks like, that means "alt".
It looks like traintracks that change, or lanes on a road. It helps if you think of it as an alternative or optional way of doing things. Instead of going ahead, you choose the other way. At least that's how I interpret the symbol.
I like how, on the Mac, it makes break vs copy in the terminal a no-brainer. On Windows, I'm always in doubt which modifier I should use to copy text from a terminal. Is it shift-del (maybe ctrl-ins, I forgot) or ctrl-c?
It's sad that your imagination is going away (if that is what you're saying). I'm 23 and I still read lots of books that appeal mainly to the imagination alongside all the "high-brow" stuff that I read.
Didn't a wise man once say, "you don't stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing"?
I spoke with a salesman at an Apple dealership in Denmark some weeks ago and he commented that often, the customers sell Macs to each other and all he can do is just stand back and smile:)
No problem! It's not immediately obvious. You can also follow a link from water to something else and then find a link that leads back again and get the node_id that way and use that. But this way is pretty transparent.
He's right, nobody got the posting. He's not talking about copyright on the 1911 version, he's talking about the company EB getting mad and using nasty legal tricks to try shutting down wikipedia.
When I worked tech support for a Danish municipality, I quickly learned what questions to ask the users when something was going wrong.
For instance if a user was complaining that the database wasn't working, I'd often have them try and navigate to google just to see if it wasn't their net connection (we often had problems with badly shielded TPs because of a shitty contractor).
I run OS X on my G3/350 with 384 megs or ram. It runs pretty damn well, considering the craptacular machine. The only times I run into massive swapping is when opening huge iPhoto galleries and such.
My parents are running OS X on a rev B iMac 233 with 256 megs of ram. That is too slow for me, but it works for them.
Possibly you didn't notice at the bottom where it said "Partially downloaded: xx%." I just fired up SW Update and it said 85%, so it's a "faster" download for me as well.
I usually solve crosswords with a combination of insight and 'dictionary approach'. The first many words are solved through insight, but almost without a doubt, there will be a handful of words where I have to go through each letter of the alphabet and see if it fits with the given hint. These are normally the letters that don't cross any other word.

On MacOS X, cmd-c is copy, ctrl-c is break.

Actually, I'm pretty sure you were. :)

That is my experience too.

I know you're probably joking, but a railgun is not a laser, it's a higly accelerated projectile.
I'm pretty sure terraforming means to change something to have the properties of earth. "Forming it after Terra," if you will.

The examples in the article use bash. They note that the implementation of sh that they use is bash.

The three-breasted woman was a human mutant. She (and the other other mutants) were so because of ratiation getting through the inadequate shielding.
SPOILER: There were no aliens in Total Recall, the only sign we saw of them was the huge handprint button used to activate the terraformer.
It's the OS that handles the help: protocol and delegates it to whatever app is assigned, regardless of what browser you're using.
I didn't know hte engine was to blame for the somersaults, I thought that was the designers of the monsters.
anti-vorbis? that seems a bit harsh, seeing has how Apple has done neither a thing for ogg vorbis nor a thing against it.
furiously struggling against it? heh.

The one that's changed from bondi blue over jaguar-spots to polished metal?
And the equivalent in Danish, although there are only 24. Click the imagemap to hear the dialects.
Besides, source is a verb. If one wants to complain, one should complain that it's not "Will Sun openly source Java?" ;)
