Buying a Linux-based laptop doesn't get us free from driver troubles. Once I bought an Acer laptop with a Linux-that-nobody-uses, and even from factory the webcam wouldn't work because it didn't have proper drivers. Luckily enough, I just had to wait a few months before smart people made an experimental gspca driver for it.
If you're looking for geometry learning, try to make an asteroids-like game.
It's not too challenging as to turn someone down, but lots of fun and you'll learn how to apply geometry. Specially sine and cossine, which my teachers did a terrible job in teaching what that was all about (only teached transformation formulae, never applying them). I only learnt what it was meant to do when I tried to do a subspace-like game.
Nice... Keep thinking that you're safe, and I won't tell you how I would have gotten a virus just today when I downloaded a basic app for my HP calculator, were it not for my AV software, which detected it just when I downloaded the installer from HP's official site.
I hope you never download anything from anywhere, including sites which should be safe and trustful, but just aren't.
You forgot the most important fact in you advantages list: with Python, lists are a built-in type. Which pretty much means you have built-in powerful sort, without the need for importing nothing, and some other useful methods. Also, it has built-in strings, with many built-in methods. That pretty much covers many of the problems writing competition software, and definitely will give an edge, since properly programming those algorithms take a lot of time.
She clearly stated that she aborted her late pregnancy because it was dangerous to her, and that she already has a boy. This means she won't have any more.
So, the only thing that could happen is him asking her if he could have had a younger brother.
Anyway, he probably won't be as bitchy about abortion as some other people around these days.
Probably, "anonymized" to them really means that only the person's name was erased. Yet, as most slashdotters know, there are other ways to track a person from other information. For example, the name may be gone, but if the hospital and birth date are yet in the database, it narrows down considerably the number of people being searched. And, as we all know, the db probably will be abused at some time.
I've tried to do it on the laptop, but graphs, tables, annotations, colors, mathematical formalae (sometimes many of those together) are all too difficult to handle in a timely fashion when using a laptop.
One advantage of gas is that when you use it, the car gets lighter. However, you're just counting energy density, forgetting energy efficiency. The car, specially on daily commuting, wastes a lot of energy. Braking, keeping the car on while not moving (like in traffic jams or lights), heat, there's a lot of energy that could be harvested or not wasted at all with electric cars.
Depends on how you spin it. I look at it as an eBook reader with an awesome web browser, GPS, WiFi, 3G, local storage, a MP3 player and access to the thousands of apps in the app store. Which, personally, is exactly what I've been waiting for to hit the market to handle my eBook and casual browsing needs. I'm sure I'm not alone here.

Until someone eventually find a use for that so-called "junk" DNA.

FAIL!
Next time they will create a public online registry of slashdotters.

FTA: "support for CMYK colour which led to widespread Photoshop adoption by the printing industry, and the Pen."
Yes, that was on 1991!
Yep, no multiple windows throughout its history. Just the usual MDI with panels interface.
That says something from the industry's standard to the would-be competitors.
In Soviet Russia, robots clear mines for YOU!
Oh, wait, where's the reverse part again?
I thought the PS3 would be the first one to have BR 3D support, since it was announced when the spec became ready.
I guess they will release an update to the PS3 firmware only when those new players are old and sold out.

At last, though, GIMP has woken up to the protests of almost *every* non-professional-user that's ever wanted to use it.
Indeed. Specially because professionals usually go for Photoshop, since GIMP didn't even have CMYK until little time ago
Just hope it's not the "20 million a kilo" one

Basically it's a Kindle DX, only with color, games, a touchscreen, and its own office suite. The base model is ten dollars more than the DX.
And much smaller battery life to support those "features"
Isn't this just a big expensive iPod touch now?

Oh, you were waiting for a Nokia N900?
Because if anything goes wrong, like forgetting the password or corruption on a single byte, can make your whole data unusable
I wonder how ice cream would get after those accelerations
