It would be neat if there was a DC power source that could be tuned to a specific voltage, as well as modular plugs to fit your various devices. Is there anything out there that comes close?
Ahem. IF THERE WERE!!! (Sorry, not having a good day regarding the subjunctive...)
Well, no.
There's a similar sort of thing which has been tried before - called communism. Communism is great in ideals, but falls on simple human lust, greed, trickery and maliciousness.
Go and look up the Great Leap Forward - you and Bruce Sterling might learn a lot.
Did anyone besides me notice that all the gymnasts who had their own bottles with them had had the labels taken off? It seems a little overkill for "advertising terrorism"...
Correct - take German for an example that even other "European" languages make this distinction. There are three words for an Indian:
Indian (from India) = der Inder
Indian (from S. America) = der Indio
Indian (from N. America) = der Indianer
Of course, distinctions like this are proliferant in many languages - it's not just this language with few numbers and the English language with one word describing three different cultures of people.
Who's to say that the aliens will communicate on the frequencies we're searching - they might even have a whole new way of communication that we've never even thought of. For us to have any chance of discovering extra-terrestrial life, the alien civilisation has to be at about the same level of technological advancement as us, and that's very unlikely.
...and then end-users can swap in antennas of equal or lesser signal characteristics...
Doesn't this make this practically useless for most purposes? Who would willingly swap an antenna for a less-powerful one? The only benefits I can see here are replacements for broken antennae and perhaps homemade solutions for connectivity.
Ah, but you could regard Slashdot as some sort of test - the ultimate website to find out a rendering engine's mettle, as it were. For instance, oddly enough Dillo didn't become very mainstream (defining mainstream in a certain context) until it could render Slashdot.
Anyway, the people who visit Slashdot are most likely the only ones to care about its sourcecode, let alone the articles and comments. The Slashdot development team, it seems, has a sense of irony.
I scorn thine creationist poppycock!
Linux was created by small bits fusing in a haphazard electrical storm brought by an asteroid, which then grew to consume others. The UNIXobites died out under the swarm of this new lifeform, and a computer scientist on holiday in the Galapagos discovered the secret: the penguins breed.
Now, in the era of Open Source, software can be opened and edited at will, and used to create fixes for poor, crippled, capitalist... I'll stop there, can't continue the communist theme...
Copy and paste using highlight and middle-click works in every X application, but nowadays other methods are usually available.
If you use a desktop environment such as KDE or Gnome, everything should be sorted for you, thanks to their desktop environment capabilities. Just switch to a fully-fledged desktop environment.
Ext2/3 and reiserfs both have inbuilt defragmentation capabilities. This can be seen, for instance, when you boot an ext2 system after an unclean shutdown and it checks the integrity of the filesystem.
Ext3 and reiserfs are both journaling filesystems, which also helps with this problem. This is often strange for new Linux users, as they're used to worrying about their Windows NTFS/FAT32 filesystems. In Linux, it's just not necessary (nor in any Unix derivative such as AIX or BSD that uses those filesystems).
I completely agree.
I've been doing karate for four years now, and not only do I have far greater muscular strength, my reflexes are far quicker (great for games) and I have much better control over my body.
Moreover, it's one of the few mentally-taxing sports I've come across - people with a decent amount of intelligence actually seem to be better at it than those with stronger muscles.
And, of course, I can look professional when doing Neo's "come on" gesture:)
As biologists know, a worm or virus can't spread to nearly as many machines if it destroys its host. Take the common cold virus for instance - look at its prevalence, and it kills very few of the hosts it infects.
However, a truly effective yet destructive virus would spread as much as possible, and then destroy all its hosts.

Noooo! It's like the UK Crazy Frog, but Japan-style!
Actually, no. The subjunctive is used in any event of uncertainty, whether that uncertainty be small or great.
IF THERE WERE!!!
(Sorry, not having a good day regarding the subjunctive...)
" Worst part is, this is one of the exploits that even effects SP2."
Oh, it causes SP2? That's absolutely terrible - it must be stopped!
Why should we believe this information coming out of a country renowned for its "editing of the truth"?
Well, no.

So where do people who are looking for this sort of capability on their laptops get the software from?
Or a Deep Green - IBM's new billiards/pool playing machine, as mentioned in New Scientist today (no, seriously!).
What about the pieces of land created by several surronding circles that nobody will own? :(
Oh yes, I forgot... government
If you get the direct HTTP link, it takes you to a Romanian server. Go easy on them, guys..
I think you'll find they're a subset of Rational Numbers (set Q) :)
Yes, I'm slightly mathematically-oriented...
The phrase, I believe, is:
:)
PWNed!

Actually, that's only an approximation.
Sorry to nitpick, but 1:(1 + sqrt(5))/2 is the Golden Ratio.
