Actually, this problem was solved a long time ago. It's called using a balanced signal, and it deals with just this type of induced noise. The only problem is that these are found on high-end equipment (pro, not consumer), and thus will be more costly. Studio monitors and microphones always use these.
Fortunately, there's and even better solution today, which is to keep the signal path digital until the very last moment (inside the speaker), especially optical digital. That'll effectively remove any interference, but I'd guess it would be even more expensive.
Cheap solution: use thick cables, with kick-ass shielding, and put a fine, separately grounded metal net over them.
That's damn smart actually. Refuse to run, printing a message that you should create an account, but of course allow to run if an obscure switch is given, like 'startx --ignore-root-despite-warning'. I can see those kinds of things being helpful on easy-to-use systems, though they're probably unnecessary in Slackware.
On second thought, I cut my teeth on Slackware back in the day, maybe it would have done me good...

Well in that sense, it is also a misconception that dead bodies "decay".
I think an employer would be insane to base hiring decisions on the SWK movie, or anything of the sort. The employer might base it on the fact that SWK decided to sue, however.
Here's the short and simplified one-liner version:
A Yahoo partner served an advertisement (called Overture) through another site, NBCSearch, which is not affiliated with GE's NBC, which is not affiliated with Yahoo, which in turn passed it along to one of it's own partners, NBCSearch, who didn't respond for comments, because of which, Yahoo can't track it's ad.
Mini-mini version:
Yahoo can't track the ad, because NBCSearch declined to comment.
I'm fine with some God creating the Universe. And why not mess about setting the right genes for mankind to thrive while he's at it, but why the hell did he create so much evidence to prove the contrary?
especially if we understand our existence as the product of an infinitely loving creator.
Perhaps, but I find it much simpler to understand my own existence as a human being that enjoys being alive, with the power of logical thought and imagination. The universe made me, call it God if you wish.
More importantly, how did the Universe come about? THAT is the critical question. Everything else is just petty details in comparison.
Coincidences can be comforting, but there are many more situations where there is nothing strange at all happening. The thing with coincidences is that they stand out from the crowd, and one only remembers them, instead of all the surrounding fluff. It's a very useful technique employed by the brain to cut down on the information flow, but it can lead to wrong conclusions.
Now, how all this started may be a mysterious thing for some, but evolution is a different issue, evolution is what happened after that. So you're right, it doesn't matter that much in terms of the origin of life.
I know that calm feeling though. I've had it a few times, sometimes very suddenly without warning. And yet, no-one had died, there was no natural disaster somewhere... When you look for them, coincidences are legion. Perhaps similar to numerology, actually.
it seems to me that we only see 'complete' species in the world today
That's because you're not old enough. I see that the stars in the sky never move significantly. Perhaps it's just a facade, or should I wait a few thousand years and see what happens first?
Also, the Bible is certainly not the only old book that still applies to humans and society. In fact, there's no divine power needed for its survival: it's a popular book/story, therefore it can last for 8000 years, because it keeps getting passed around. It's not magic or coincidence, its relevance is the only way you could be reading it in this day and age!
For Antarctica, I think an OS with a penguin would be the most suitable.
It's more complicated than you might think...
First of all, you need two machines, so that when one of them dumps the core, control can be passed over to the other. Then the first machine must go on a long march to the sea and back, in order to recover from power loss. Then control must be passed again, and the other machine marches to the sea while the first machine resumes debugging of the core. After a while, the core has been debugged enough that it reaches self-sentience, and can be brought to the sea along with both machines, to frolick in the waters, debugging itself, growing into its own Linux-powered machine.
I remember seeing a documentary about that OS recently, truly a marvel of engineering. Who wrote the bootstrap code, btw?
But at the same time the child must be taught to be responsible, by being trusted. The parents have responsibility as a caretaker, but they can't own another human being. Learn from your mistakes, it's how life works, etc...

Hey, I'm doing it both for the love and the money. :)
(yes, it's still available)
In flash memory? Are you sure? That sounds rather bad actually, a flash chip just died on me recently without me using it much, I was wondering why...

Ripping out is a destructive, but effective method. Even Tom Hanks could do his dentistry in Cast Away.
I'm guessing it is the very mass of these sitting appliances that will save them from being hurled into extinction.
I propose a name change to be rid of these ridiculous jokes: Urectum, and Brown Holes.

Enough to power a rice cooker filled with them, I hope.

Any questions?
You must be new here.
Are you saying it's illegal to have LASIK surgery in the US?
An interesting thought: does Bill run with Admin privs?
It is crude. I think it's much more elegant to say that evolution is God's design process.
Gold is too heavy to throw around.

'Relevance' can be highly subjective, though.

A well-designed compression algorithm would break the encryption, compress the redundancies, and re-encrypt.
