(Debian Testing here) Mozilla was also installed by default; First thing I did was to install Opera, then KDE, which itself comes whith Konqueror. Even so, there's still the odd situation where I click a link in gaim and this Gnome-looking Epiphany comes up.
It is a valid question, but in a wrong formula. The question should be 'What is the MAXIMUM speed the processor can achieve?', i.e. the maximum speed for an external oscillator connected to it.
The implication is that the human brain is hardwired to crave porn. Given the opportunity, we may all have the potential to become addicts.
Humans are hardwired to crave SEX. Porn just makes it more accessible than the real thing (albeit in a virtual way).
When a couple have a healthy relationship, none of them needs to fill any 'emptyness' whith on-line fantasies. That's the partner's monopoly and, to a degree, responsability.
If the external websites are afiliated with Perfect 10 they could ask them to use robots.txt; if not, they should go after the copyright infringers instead. It's not google's job to do their work for them.
1. first you have a problem, 'an itch to scratch' 2. then you become conscious about it; start looking for a solution 3. ZZZ (or read slashdot) 4. work on it, or google (www) for it, based on the general conclusions from point 3. 5. problem solved (if you can't solve a problem with money, solve it with a shitload of money) 6. how people use the $$$ from point 5
I don't care how much of a impressionable dumbfuck you are, you don't kill yourself juse because it's "cool." I think I'm going to throw up.
If one is such an impressionable dumbfuck and kills himself just 'cause it's cool, it's his problem - just evolution an work. One more Darwin Award coming right up!
To each their own. I happen to dislike FF's approach. If I'm on Slashdot somewhare in the middle of all tabs, I find an interesting link in someone's post and open it in a new tab. After I'm done checking out that page, I close it and I'm back to the page I started from, not to the last tab on the right I open halfe an hour ago to check how Tiffany Taylor's doing;)
Let's look at the Bible another way for a minute. Could it perhaps have been a divinely inspired book (no mystical connotations necessarily implied here, all art is the product of inspiration is it not?), written by mere mortals?
'divinely inspired' can mean a lot of things. So can 'God'. So can 'ID'.
Besides, if evolution really is true, why is there no other species that even comes close to human intelligence
Actually, up to some thirty thousand years ago there was another inteligent species on Earth. Just that we 'sapiens sapiens' probably outrun them for resources.
It should have been modded funny from the start. Not Insightful and not Offtopic.
Let's ask people on the street whether they believe in technology or magic. Then have a story on slashdot about it: '14.7% people actually believe that cellphones work by whispering tiny elves and cars are pulled/pushed by invisible pink unicorns.'
They complain about the potential effect on their property values and the aesthetic impact on the area's scenic countryside.
Other complaints are a little further from reality. In a recent symposium held by the Concerned Citizens for Steuben County, one speaker compared the sound of the spinning blades and whirring machinery (which most people find inaudible from fairly close distances) to the noises Nazi troops tortured Jews with during the holocaust.
Group members also warned of health problems ranging from strokes caused by the sunlight as it pulsates through the spinning turbine blades to mange in cattle. Others claimed that women living near the wind farms are having as many as five menstrual cycles a month.
Outsourcing doesn't come about as charity. Companies don't think "hey, look at those poor people in India, let's give them some job opportunities..." It's rather "cheap labor! woot!"
in my experience 24-bit pngs are slightly bigger than gifs in the situation you mention, but if you get them to 8bit (like the gifs are) they're smaller in most cases.
I think the children who use this laptop are given a better choice. Red Hat will make sure the OS has all the drivers required to work on this laptop so the thingy is going to be quite useable (unlike installing Linux onto a 200$ desktop I got together by buying the cheapest pieces on the market, without first checking if there are drivers for them).
On the other hand, having an open-source system will give the kids a lot more to 'explore', to 'tinker with' if you wish. And in the end, who knows... these kids might give back to the community in the long run...

The rotation being governed by gravity does not necessarily imply it is constant.
The rotation speed of the Earth changes by a tiny fraction when there are earthquakes.
There's also drag from the tides.
Here's a simple, fair and elegant way to fix this: .com domains that one entity can own to, say, 100.
Limit the number of different
Why would any company own more domains?

When talking about number crunching it's infinite Ghz.
No, it's not. You probably can't hook up a 10 Ghz oscillator to it; if you could this technology would already be in your 10Ghz PC processor.
It is a valid question, but in a wrong formula. The question should be 'What is the MAXIMUM speed the processor can achieve?', i.e. the maximum speed for an external oscillator connected to it.

He used the old C = 2 * pi * r formula, and applied it to the diameter, forgetting that d = 2 * r
