"That's quick" was the phrase my girlfriend after an update of Debian Sid to include KDE 4.1 and OpenOffice.org 3.0 from Experimental. "Wish my slow machine at work was this quick".
You don't have to guess what OS she is using there...
Anyhow, once you replace 3.5.x with KDE 4.1 you will notice a difference. At least I did. (No, I didn't read the article first... Bad boy.)

"Melting of methane ice unleashed runaway global warming some 635 million years ago, according to a study released Wednesday that has implications for today's climate-change crisis.
Release of the potent greenhouse-gas, at first in small amounts and then in massive volumes, brought a sudden end to the planet's longest Ice Age, its authors believe.
During the "Snowball Earth" era, Earth froze over completely, with glaciers that crept down into the tropics and possibly even reached the equator."
"The tendency to falsely link cause to effect a superstition is occasionally beneficial"
What a piece of unfortunate crap, but probably true. Anyhow. Ignorance pleaded - would have worked too and wouldn't have had all side effects.
But, people probably began telling the inquisitive children and adults made up stories. "Don't swim in the deep water or the water monster/god/goblin will eat you. He and his family came from far away. Not all of them are bad, you see. One rules over the forest, etc."
Why not tell them right away: You may drown.
The sad thing is that these chain of innocent little lies got hold over people's mind and life, and became more elaborate, like religions.
Frankly, I have never seen anything good done by that part of reality.
If you don't know. Say so or keep shut! Avoid lies.
============
Federal authorities are examining whether the surgical group that employed the husband of the United States Attorney in Newark submitted false medical insurance claims to the Government, law enforcement officials said today.
The criminal inquiry involves the former medical practice of Mark Hochberg, the husband of Faith S. Hochberg, the Clinton Administration's top prosecutor in New Jersey. The investigation comes at a politically vulnerable moment for Ms. Hochberg, who on Monday was nominated by President Clinton to a Federal judgeship. =========
FTFA: "Translation: if you have a Blackberry, you have instant 411 on where the cool folks are. Or, are not"
What? "Cool folks" and " where the wild things are happening in your own town."
Why would I need that service, in my own town?
I can only only images tons of cheesy spam-like messages in larger citys: "Eat at Genuine Tony's Pizza. Discount for the next 45 minutes"
In the small-town it will be things like "Garden mowever 70% discount at Wal-Mart"
No, it will probably never fulfill your wet dreams, unless it guides you to pay-for-service areas. Thinking of, that will probably be its main use... Sigh... Dump it.
1st - Sue Nokia for open sourcing Symbian, because Palm actually owns the source code. 2nd - Sue General Motors for using Palms some seven years ago. 3rd - Claim GSM was invented by Palm and sue anyone using it still. 4th - Insist that someone wants to buy you and that you cannot be touched, until that deal is off. (Don't forget to forget who the potential buyer was) 5th - Hire a pile of scum bag lawyers to raise your stock market value. 6th - Get as many enemies as you can in the established industry and the hobbyist open source movement. 7th - Squeek
I am sure there are more ideas they can come up with themselves. Just innocuously.
"DOJ To Oversee Windows 7 Development"
At last! Microsoft seeks help!
Hope they can improve things in Redmond. The operating systems have not been so great from that place. However, I am really surprised that DOJ would have that expertise. It doesn't sound like that kind of institution. (BTW, what is the emoticon for deadpan?)
I find it really, really disturbing that people labeled "scientist" continue to have a go at the outer space theories. Out of all PhD:s in science I have met and the topic has been brought up I have never met anyone who believed in actual life coming from outer space, or that extraterrestrial material in fact would have been needed on a primordial Earth in order to create life.
That a US president was blatantly fooled into promoting that childish Mars rock theory from a decade ago still hurts my mind.
Think Occam's Razor. Dig where you stand. Don't overdo it, son.

Good strategy and, see, you didn't lie!

At last, something that looks really GOOD, from Google! With free access, this will really change the world, even more.
History revisionists will find it even more difficult to dupe.
Maybe there are serious drawbacks, but, for the time I cannot see anything but the positive aspects.

I guess enterprise editions don't come at no charge.

The Swedish word Vinglet means "Wiggler", "Wobbler" which may be more appropriate than they thought.

Well, they could use well known strategy - sue!
Some suggested steps:
1st - Sue Nokia for open sourcing Symbian, because Palm actually owns the source code.
2nd - Sue General Motors for using Palms some seven years ago.
3rd - Claim GSM was invented by Palm and sue anyone using it still.
4th - Insist that someone wants to buy you and that you cannot be touched, until that deal is off. (Don't forget to forget who the potential buyer was)

If you want to complain, use emacs. That will give you a whole set of (other) reasons.
