Excatly! Even the superconductor itself is YBCuO, which has been well known since 1986. It's the first "Type 2" superconductor to have been discovered.
It may be the first high-temperature superconductor discovered. Type II superconductors go back to the 1930s. (I worked with Nb3Sn samples when I had a summer job at Gulf General Atomic in 1969.)
Note that the "reasoning" of Thomas was that the original view of the First Amendment at the time the Bill of Rights was enacted "does not include a right to speak to minors (or a right of minors to access speech) without going through the minors' parents or guardians."
Depends entirely on the individual. There are several newsgroups I personally find worthwhile, and I much prefer dealihg with them through a regular newsgroup client. When Roadrunner dropped netnews last year I went with individual.net - 10 Euros/year - and have been quite satisfied. YMMV.
For that matter how many/. readers are young enough to remember the Golden Fleece awards, and hence to get the joke on the cover page without resort to Wikipedia?

Ambient Findability

This book and the review uses way too many catch phrases: findability, intertwingularity, Folksonomies, metadata, smartphone, backlinks.
Ted Nelson remarked that "everything is deeply intertwingled" way back in the original Computer Lib / Dream Machines, so "intertwingularity" at least should look familiar.
Fox news actually hasn't carried the story yet. I guess they haven't heard what the party line is yet.
I suppose while we wait for Karl Rove to return their call the best information we have is this one from 2003: Critics Balk at Efforts to Place Internet in Global Grip. (Yes, I know the subject is different - do you think *they* do?)
The two definitions of science both seem reasonably sound.
I suspect the critical (one is tempted to say "sneaky") difference is that the first wording requires explanations to be natural, while the second enables those so inclined to throw up their hands and say "*this* must have been God's work," and then teach it as science.
The sub (a German vessel captured during WWII in a successful mission to obtain codebooks) is currently not on exhibit because it's been moved to a new underground display area. There's a wealth of information, including video of the move, at the exhibit website.
Yes, I wondered if anyone else would remember these. What may be confusing others is that, probably because in those days LCD screens were relatively expensive, the Compaq had a substantial "frame" around the screen; the ball was built into the frame, near the right edge.
This was the only laptop-integral pointing device I've found tolerable. I've been using mouse-equipped systems since 1983, and currently carry a small external mouse with me whenever I take my laptop along.
This bug is probably best addressed by some small fixes from the browser vendors for the short-term, but with a re-evaluation of JavaScript and HTML to guard against social engineering by the standards bodies.
In a sense, the whole *point* of standards bodies is social engineering.
(Yes, I know what you meant - but since this article is currently headed by a grammar flame I couldn't resist.)
Actually, "the Bush movie" is already out. It's a piece of religious right hagiography, if the New York Times is to be believed. I suspect that making this available for downloading by those not in its target audience would be a great service to the Kerry campaign - not that I'm encouraging copyright violation or anything. .. --
What I wish is that there was a one-handed keyboard so I could type with one hand and mouse with the other.
DE's famous original setup *did* have a chord keyboard for the left hand, for entering a few characters between mouse actions without shifting both hands to the main keyboard. For that matter PARC's Alto could be so equipped, although in practice this was fairly rare.
In my experience three mouse buttons plus a couple of modifier keys active on the main keyboard give enough expressiveness that learning how to use a chord keyboard doesn't seem worth the hassle. Your mileage may vary.
I bought that edition when it first came out, and noticed the error on first reading. (I might still have that copy in a box somewhere, although "donated to used book sale" and "lost in the flood" are probably stronger possibilities.)
Enjoyable book. Over the years I've found the "breeding for luck" story very helpful when discussing management behavior and pay levels.

Do you have to submit a properly-formatted JCL card to get your data back?

Surely it's a Foot-operated User Device (FUD)?
Exactly right, although if you worked in the physics department you'd know it was 9.81ms^-2.

And in the title of the referenced paper as well.
(As a physicist who took a *lot* of undergraduate courses, and has maintained a continuing interest, in economics I found this paper hilarious.)

And there's no question this security problem with Netscape 8.0 was a serious forkup.
