Personally I'd say the danger is somewhat exagerated. I have looked into red keyring laser pointers plenty of times with no ill effects. A seconds exposure from that kind of a laser will not harm you in any way. These lasers are typically around 1mW or less.
I wouldn't try it with my He-Ne laser though. I don't remember the exact rating on that. I am sure it is plenty dangerous though.
Is it really that difficult? Put your documents in "Documents" and instead of whereever you feel like (you don't save your mp3 collection to/etc on *linux/*bsd either, do you?). Don't put config files in your application folder. etc. etc. Everybody's known, like forever, what the rules are and now when they are suddenly forced to follow them, everybody cries foul. I think thats BS.
You make it sound like MS has some evil plan for how you must do your work and it really isn't like that, is it? All they've done is make it work in a way thats sensible, so obviously when users do stuff that are not sensible, they will get into trouble.
I wonder how those users would feel if they were forced to work with with one of the linuxes. Because to me, all MS has really done with Vista is to finally bring it up to par, security wise. That is bound to cause problems for some, that is unavoidable, but I think people have been given more than fair warning.
Please.. Even on older Windows versions, as long as you keep them up to date with Windows Update and take a bit of dilligence when you surf, its honestly not that difficult keeping it free from malware. And with Vista, as long as you take the same precautions, its bulletproof.
You guys really need to get with the program, to be honest.:)
Vista was preinstalled on my new laptop. I have been running it for a couple of months now. I also have Debian unstable on another partition, but I hardly ever use it, since Vista does what I need.
I wouldn't think of switching to XP. Vista is clearly the superior OS. It runs all my old software just fine, even an old financial application that I support for some customers, which was designed for Windows 95 and that know for a fact breaks all kinds of rules, runs without a hitch. I run as a normal administrator and haven't disabled any of the security stuff, that some people complain about, so really I only have normal user privileges under most circumstances.
It has a better gui than XP. It is obviously way more secure. I feel pretty much invulnerable from malicious software, no matter which website I surf or what I get in the mail. With Vista, Windows has matured into a REALLY GOOD operating system. It is no longer just a good looking toy.
Of course it isn't perfect. For instance I am not really sure that the new start menu is an improvement on the old XP start menu, . Windows Mail is just Outlook Express with new clothes and it is still useless for IMAP, just to give another example.
However, all things considered, Vista easily beats XP and honestly people should just quit whining and start migrating.
Its a little difficult to get a sense of scale from those videos, though there are numbers in the bottom corner. The flame starts of near or just of center and becomes bubble/mushroom shaped through a Rayleigh-Taylor instability and breaks the stellar surface in under a second. Its less than another second before the ash and flame from the bubble collides at the opposite end of the star. This flame crashing into itself (see video 1) causes compression and a detonation.
I don't get it. The flame expands outward to the surface in less than a second. I am ok so far. Now to do that the material would need to have a lot of momentum in the direction it is going, so how does it suddenly turn around and crash into itself on the other side? Not by gravity, or? Is there a pressure wave caused by the flame that travels along the surface and meets with itself on the other side, causing increased pressure and detonation as a result?
IAAP and all I can say is that Andrew D. Jackson taught me quantum mechanics. You can trust me when I say that when it comes to thermal and quantum physics, the guy knows what he is talking about.
Perhaps I am not understanding you fully, but it seems as if what you are requesting is already possible. You can form a gang with anybody you want to, and they can always warp to you whereever you are in the same system. That way you can both go on the same mission together and help each other out. And it doesn't matter if one of you doesn't have the required standing, and why should it, really?
There are plenty of things you can do in a frig or a cruiser that's more fun than flying around in a big ship. Everything from ratting, mission running to corp warfare is possible. Really whether you fly a big or small ship is more a matter of taste than how much fun you can have.
Actually the game is complicated enough as a beginner, just worrying about what you can do with the skills you get from the start of the game. Giving the beginning player even more opportunities right from the start might actually be bad, because if the game gets too confusing, you might not get 'hooked'.;)
I do think that the tutorials could be better. I have heard newbies complain that they almost quit the game, because griefers camped out at the tutorial mission areas and prevented them from going through the mission. Starting out in Eve is a very confusing experience, and new players need more help, I think. If the first thing that happens to you is that you undock and fly to your first mission and get your newbie ship shot into tiny bits, the moment you arrive at the battleground, the game won't appear to be as much fun as it is.
What you are saying doesn't apply to poker, since people are not playing against the casino, but against other players.
Of course in a ring game, you could arrange for the rake to be such that you recieve 3% of all the action. But since the rake is just a tax on playing, you are not influencing the actual dealing of cards.
Black holes are too small to have any influence on the distribution of dark matter. It is a common misconception that black holes are these huge gravity monsters that suck up everything that get closer than a parsec to them.
In reality you have to get within a few thousand kilometers of the event horizon for you to notice anything peculiar. Further away and the gravity well looks and behaves almost identical to an ordinary star.
Black holes doesn't play any role in the distribution of cosmological dark matter, which is what this experiment focusses on.
Well, if you are a female, one interesting finding the study came up with, was that cell phone use brings a 30% increased risk of Cervical cancer, which is usually caused by the sexually transmitted Human Papillomavirus.
The researchers suggest, while stressing that this is pure speculation, that women who were quicker to adopt cell phone use, might have been more sexually active with multiple partners than average women, for whatever reason.
The announcement, in Danish, along with some of the statistics, can be found here:
When I heard the name of the Guy that runs this business, I thought 'can't be'.. But sure enough. The guy, Bob Lazar, is the one that made all those claims about having worked on flying saucers at Area 51. Try looking up Bob Lazar on wikipedia.
Now that you mention it, that's wrong too. Because you should use the midpoint between the two extremes as reference point. Then the difference is only 2 feet which is 33% of the 6 feet you took as midpoint.
All this is true, but I think the original poster meant that he wanted a KOffice with the look and feel of a Gnome application.
While it is true that you can run any kde application in Gnome, the application will still feel like a KDE application, for instance the skin will look different and dialogs will have a different button positioning.
I know KOffice is fairly modular, but I don't think it would be possible to tie it into Gnome's UI libraries easily.

now THAT'S scary..

Both are correct.
Were are at the low point of the 11-year sunspot cycle.
The 1000-year peak is measured over the average of the last 11 years, so the fast cycle is evened out.

KDE4 missed the list, but I am betting on it for next years list.

Why thanks a lot!??
I clicked OMG, and firefox prompty ate all my free memory then froze my computer. I just lost half an our worth of code.
Will there be a 64 bit version for us AMD64 users?
I can't play flash animations on my Turion laptop with Debian AMD64 installed.
I am pretty sure you are correct.

arts is dead tech. Nobody in their right mind should use arts.
