They said that the "OpenOffice.org project would be best managed by an organization focused on serving that broad constituency on a non-commercial basis"
Nowhere did they say, that that organization would be the Document Foundation. Worst case, they try some half-ass community effort under Oracle control, that lures half the people back and kills both projects.
If the Americans had beaten the Soviets, all the Soviet space stations would be American space stations now. And instead of not having a Soviet moon base, we would not have an American moon base.
just because "Hello World" is a lame program doesn't mean that tutorials including it are.
Right. Were it not for the fact that many arduino projects don't see themselves as Hello-word-tutorials but as clever hacks.
Trying to scratch your nose with a four foot pole might be ok if you're trying to prove some other point. Just don't hype it as the most clever idea ever.
You could just ask your neighbor. Most high school kids who are even remotely interested in science already have a neutron source in their basement. Borax, you get in the laundry aisle and as moderator I suggest to go with pencils. Graphite is a well documented moderator and has worked in Chernobyl for many years without a problem. You could use tea-lights for shielding, but imho shielding is for sissies.
Just one warning: As in banking, the important thing is to start big. If you build a small reactor, the police will come knocking down your door, but if you build a really big one, your local congressman will help you to find a way around stupid regulations.
I'm pleased that they finally did it, just wanted to let everyone know: This merger was my idea!
And a fine idea it is. About the only way to stop that ever-spreading cancer called Ubuntu. A distribution that simply takes, never ever gives back to the community, and above all brings people into our community that never had the right to use linux in the first place. People can even "try it out"before installing it.
Come on, do you "try out" Zen or Karate? No! You don't! You wash your master's car and polish it , you do the lowest duties for years and years, there is no elevator to the mountain! But no, not with Ubuntu! Some people, who should really be using windows, can now claim that they have their laptop, their desktop, their file-server, and their media center running linux! Without ever going through the required amount of suffering!
I welcome the merger and I plan to start a petition later today: the new super-distro should have only a text based installer and standard maintenance login only through a remote serial console!
Reading your comment, I noticed words like "social", "share", "friends", and -even worse- "helping" and "thoughts".
Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party of the United States?
Are you now or have you ever been enrolled at a "liberal" arts institution?
Can you name persons who influenced your thoughts or might harbor similar ideas?
Good point. And thank you for improving the system...
Say there's a really bad chemical spill in an area where students typically walk through... are you implying that the administrators should shoot the spill to trigger the alarm?
Of course not. To warn the campus of chemical spills, administrators should have a bottle of muratic acid on the shelf. If they want to trigger the chemical alert system, just spill it on the office floor, and this activates the chemical alert warning.
Absolutly no way of confusing the trigger events, and as I said: never ever a false warning.
You set up one of the pickup trucks and wait for a sufficient amount of time t for a meteorite to hit the back of the truck. If no meteorite hits the pickup truck in the alloted time frame, increase either t or the size of the pickup truck.
The second truck is to replace your other pickup that got hit by a meteorite.
I don't think that sets the proper tone. For that one should add:
YMCAAA: 'You might come across as a'. As in: YMCAAA noob!
JAFOS: 'Just a figure of speech'. As in ROTFL! (JAFOS)
EMSOL: 'Excuse me Sir or Lady'. As in: EMSOL WTF?
For now: With external drives, you can use e-sata. If you want it networked, use a nas that has sata and gigabit ethernet. More usb2 ports are added by adding yet another usb-switch
But at some time in the future you won't be able to avoid buying a new usb-card. You will go with usb3, because cards without usb3 will be much more expensive and most peripherals with usb3 will be cheaper than the ones with usb2. - That's a late adopter.
Word has it, there is this professor at UI who drinks only rain water and whiskey. He thinks fluoridation is a part of a mind control conspiracy. Could it be that he triggered the alarm?
People using hacking devices called coax cables to create rogue secondary viewing locations?
People leaving the bed room door open, so they can watch the TV in the living room while being in the bed room?
People watching TV on devices that are under user control?

But make sure the good side points towards you, or it'll filter the smarts and let the stupids pass.
...is there anything it can't do?
since it can also work as a lubricant...
.. at the WWF. Chair-throwing would be too close to his MS job.
Complaining too much? Denying that witches exist? - That was one of the things listed as indicators for being a witch.
The Spanish Inquisition (TSI) used to have some extra questions for them.

You can always turn a virtual girlfriend into a real one. But it involves lots of electricity ans wearing a bra on your head.

Now, can I friend The Man ?

What if the majority doesn't share my interests? Will this feature make the search actually worse for me?

That's like that couple who has been together for 20 years
and has a couple of high-school age kids
telling you that they just decided to get married.
You mean Katey Sagal
No. I don't like the way she looks. Wrong hair color, wrong number of eyes. Really doesn't do it for me.
A person who's in shock may seem completely and utterly calm, outwardly.
Or worse: laugh hysterically.

This is how to design the perfect interface:
Offices should have sensors that detect gun shots and trigger an email alert.
This would be double plus good:
What makes people angry are false reports. Not with this system.
