By best reproduction, I mean they don't distort as easily. A lot of people do indeed worship the t00bs, but I pity them for it. I bet in blind tests, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
Any audiophile knows that tubes color the sound in subtle, yet significant ways, while for practical purposes and absolutely best reproduction, transistors reign supreme.
I don't think a passionless person would spend 6+ years studying something in which they have no faith or no love for. It is a fact tha the average MBA makes more than the average post-doc. Money seems to be the attracting force, but also a certain sense of freedom. At least that's the reason I'm a year away from my MBA.
Uhh, wtf are you talking about? He's not build the cruise missile to sell to anyone, but rather, to prove to ignorant governments that anyone with enough money and expertise could do the very same. He is presenting a threat which has not yet surfaced, so we should be thanking him, because we will really be screwed if some terrorist or anti-U.S. group unleases a few dozen cruise missiles with many pounds of high explosives or bio/chem payloads on major U.S. cities or sporting events or whatever. He's trying to make a point, while nearly 99% of folks think he's doing this to sell to terrorists or show them how it's made.
I think this is a valid reaction. Think about it: its internal cell phone could be hacked to call some other phone and possibly even send all audio from the user - in whatever sensitive area - to wherever it is programmed to call. Of course, this could be integrated into normal Coke cans, but this is a good disguise for such an act, as ridiculous as it sounds.
All the popular notions of microwaves being harmful are pretty unfounded. You must remember, they're like other waves, like radio, UV, IR, radar, and so forth. It seems to me most misconception arises from the fact that we use microwaves to cook food and that stray waves from cell phones and other such things could be harmful to us, but again, this is untrue for most purposes.
You see, microwaves excite water molecules - they make them move back and forth really fast - thus heating them and increasing their temperature; this is how a microwave oven works. The fear with cell phones (which have a very weak transmitter) is that they may increase the temperature of brain cells or other, critical cells above a normal temperature, thus cause an unfavorable outcome. However, studies have shown that the increase of temperature from a cell phone antenna - when put against one's ear - is less than 1/10th of a degree Centigrade. As you can imagine, this is insignificant; our bodies are able to remain undamaged at temperatures MUCH higher than this.
The point is that cellphones, while not the topic of this article, transmit much more powerful microwaves, much closer to the head. This means most WiFi waves are not at all powerful enough to have an impact.
Of course, I do not suggest you stick your head near a multi-megawatt microwave transmitter.
I think we have learned quite a bit about the solar system. Besides, why do you think that in the process of trying to find life, we simply brush aside every new thing that we learn? Once life is found, or the conditions for it, any previous assumption of life's inability to take root such distances away from the sun, etc., may very well be shattered, rendering any previous theory useless. These missions teach us a lot and I would like to see many more in the future, even at their current costs of billions.
There could very well be underwater vents, similar to here, that would provide warmth and chemical nourishment. We can't speculate, because there is a whole lot we still don't know. I am looking forward to the landing of the probe next year.
...in approving downloads? Is it to spread his message? Very possibly. But can it be much deeper? I recall reading he will possibly be banned from selling his DVDs and Videos due to some federal laws prohibiting the candidates' names from being advertised in commmercial products, or something of that nature; I suppose similar to network channels not broadcasting Arnold's films half-a-year ago. So, that could very well be his real reason, as I strongly doubt he wants to forego potential profits, despite his political position.
It gets me when people write "Athalon" instead of "Athlon." Is it so damn hard?
I still use the Celeron, because at the time, it was a good option. It is perfect for an average PC for an average user, but the prices on the ATHLONS have fallen so much so that it wouldn't make sense to get a Celeron.
He and his administration have lied about the potential connections between Iraq and Al Qaeda, have lied about the weapons of mass destruction (remember Colin Powell with all his pretty satellite photos?), and has falsely invaded two countries which had nothing to do with terrorism. Enough for ya?
Maybe you're having a hard time understanding this, so I will break it down for you. Since you obviously haven't seen the film, Moore talks about the fact that the bin Ladens have NOT disowned Osama. In fact, there was and maybe still is contact; proof is provided in the form of a video of one of Osama's sons in which other bin Ladens are in attendance.
By the way: Richard Clarke may have authorized the flight, but do you honestly believe there wasn't pressure from Bush? He has multi-billion dollar contracts with these people and he will do anything to protect himself and appear separate. What better way than to have on the record as someone else authorizing such things. What did Clarke have to gain from sending them out? Nothing. What did Bush stand to possibly lose had they stayed? A lot.
And lastly, you are underestimating the connections between these families. There are oil contracts and other agreements that are worth billions between the two, and this isn't the only film to acknowoledge that. I've seen at least two other documentaries before this film and both addressed the issue of the "tit for tat" that exists between both families.
Remember that this is about money. Our safety, our well-being, and in general, anything to do with us comes second for those who have it, such as the Bushes. This is the same for any person who is potentially worth in the billions. If you think that they will put your interests above their own, then you have become much too naive for reality.
Why is it nonsense? It is a unique take on a banking environment and is very different from anything else out there. At first glance, it does seem silly, but upon closer examination, it appears apt.
My point is the information here may not be accurate, as this is the internet and anybody is anybody. I would not spend a cent on the sayings of an anonymous few, perhaps you would?
Keep in mind this is different from product recommendations or other such things: this is a serious matter, at least it would be if it were not asked on Slashdot.
This is the kind of matter that's not meant for Slashdot, unless you enjoy seeing your question published and replied to without any gain in real knowledge. Consult an attorney, as they really know how to manage situations like these, unless the armchair-lawyers here. I can't quite understand why you would base your business decisions on replies from/.
Because it is better? Because it is easier? Nay, because it is free. Why does everyone get so excited about this? It obviously is free, but will its users be as productive? What about support? I don't know, but only long-term studies can assess these.

Sadly, I am in the same club as you. Perhaps a man with a modest home, no job, and plenty of hobbies is the happiest model of man known.
There will be fewer and fewer readers left. ;)

...to host his web site. No comments and it has already crashed. Literally.
Free, less expensive: same incentive. I was commenting on the propagation of Linux as a whole, not just in this case.

It never reached the court of law, it seems, so the company is only taking preventative - if premature - actions.
And $25,000 seems a tad...low.
Europe and America? Egads, man, that would take a massive amount transmitting power.
