I guess time spent fixing problems resulting from spam is wasted, unlike lunch, which we do need, spam is something that we don't need, and when it comes, we waste our time to get rid of it.
Wikipedia.org is one of the sites I visit regularly to get info about all sorts of things, it's up there in my personal bar. Not only me, most of the time, when/. posts a story about something not so familiar, you'll find +5 informative posts linking to Wikipedia.org. I feel really sad to read the news, and even more, when I read the responses above.

The game usually starts with Homer taking a nap in the living room, on 12.25, he changes his cloths to something like Santa's, and there is an xmas tree in the room. The gameplay is the same though, but I think it's a nice touch.
in other news Apple is suing iRiver for using an i in the beginning of the name, "they are trying to trick our customers to think that it's the player for iTunes" Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Computer, says.
true, I was going to post something similar, here is the link to IBM's research about Strained Silicon. I first thought it was the submitter's mistake, but actually the story is taked off the article.
Maybe someone can shed some light here.
The Boilerplate was a prototype soldier built in 1893 to resolve potential conflicts between the nations, and, according to promotional photographs, was usually surrounded by young females.
grr, that ugly looking robot has got a GF, hell, I wish I looked like a robot...
I've listened to some of tracks generated by ZenStrings, and I can say that it's quite impressive, it may be the first step on the process of creating a game with truely dynamic music.
Anyway, you can find some samples generated by the engine here.
Mozilla team has nothing to do with this, it's a contest of porting Mozilla to Amiga, the developer who does it wins the money, check out this.
But I think I somehow agree with you, how cares really about porting Mozilla to Amiga while there are lots of useful Open Source projects that require more support?
I'm actually quite happy with the results, t34m v0rt3x, the creators of Deathball, deserve it, I really liked their previous mod for UT (not 2k3), it was called Operation Na Pali, it felt like the original Unreal, and was better IMO than the official mission pack, later they released Deathball, another great mod for UT2k3 this time, and it added a lot of value to the game for me.
t34m v0rt3x, keep up the great work!
Noise pollution is just everywhere these days, highways, factories, concerts...
Even if ears don't get damaged enough to lose hearing completely, there is definitely a partial hearing loss, so using drugs to cure this instead of surgery of hearing aids is definitely a good step on the way to solve the problem.
untrue, MySQL IS ported to the most popular platforms too, Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, and more...
Please make sure of your facts before posting next time.
You have a valid point, but actually you don't need a mouse to fix Linux software problems, one of the features I like about Linux, when the GUI fails, you can always use the command line and edit some config files, and voila, it's back to normal, OSes that rely heavily on the GUI are vulnerable to being completely inaccessible when the GUI fails, and you know, the command line is more likely to be still working when problems occur that the GUI system.
I don't like this idea that because the RIAA provides poor value for money, it entitles people to violate the copyright law. If you don't like the licensing terms, don't use the product. We complain if GPL code gets ripped off. If that copyright should be respected, why should others be ignored?
Good point, but I'm not saying that it's OK to violate laws (download pirated music) when there is nothing better you can do (buy single tracks for a reasonable amount of money), what we can really do is tell the RIAA that we don't like its current strategy by not buying its CDs, and using iTunes or similar services.
As for the Linux equivalent thing, true, Linux still has no equivalent for iTunes to buy music online, however, we can only hope that something like this will exist in the near future.
You mean 12-year-old girls? This isn't going to help either, the only way to solve the p2p piracy thing is to provide better ways for the customers to get music without them feeling robbed, buying a CD with 1 good song, and 10 fillers doesn't make the customer feel right at all, so customers use p2p instead. Napster and iTunes are good steps on the way, lots of people are buying music through them instead of the old, above mensioned ways.
Mmm, but iTunes is mainly used to buy music online, not to play music, QuickTime maybe used to preview music, but I think they can use Linux OSS or something similar, or just give the user the preview file to play using MPlayer or Xine, so I think QuickTime isn't that important in porting iTunes.

hold on Beagle 2 team! I'll explore Mars, see what happened to Beagle 2, and fix it ASAP!
this poor pengiun should have listened to Linus when he told him CDs aren't fish.

TFA says its "155 million bytes per second."

well, ASCII is good for small books, but when things get larger, Tex works better, especially for printing, getting TOC, bibliography ... etc
well, duh, of course I'm kidding...
...is 2.6 affected by the bug??

actually, I heard that they ditched the maginfying glass project and went directly to a giant anteater...

I wonder whether SpaceShipOne project computers run Windows, it would be extremely ironic to have *nix computers in a project for M$ co-founder...

any plans of a Linux version of iTunes? Since Mac OS X kernel is BSD, I guess porting to Linux wouldn't be that hard.
Maybe we have just hit +Infinity of time? /.
