First, it's TeX, not Tex. Secondly, TeX goes through email, and most people who care to read it unrendered very easily, so they don't need to install any dopy software just to read teo little formulas in my e-mail. Plus, TeX math notation is fast to type, and you only need to learn a page or so from the TeX manual in order to be able to use it for math. So, how is this Dasher thing better?
You're comparing apples and aardvarks here. Dasher is an input method that tries to predict what letter you'll input next based on what you've input so far -- think of it as an improvement on those silly on-screen keyboards. TeX is a typesetting notation -- you could theoretically use Dasher to write TeX, if you wanted to do such a thing on your handheld.
"coliform" is fecal coliform bacteria. The bacteria themselves are harmless, but the fecal coliform count is a good indication of if the water is contaminated with sewage.
There's no indication that old-fashoned blackpowder will trigger the detector, and if fertilizer won't trigger it, then a fertilizer/fuel oil mix probably won't either.
I donno. It's already a pain in the ass to find anything generic on Google, Yahoo, what have you. Instead you get a thousand and one fake "Search Engine" sites, that have googlebombed their way up the rankings. It works for very, VERY specific querys still, but even then, you'll get at least 1 page in the top 10 that's like www.findsearchmonkey-hotwomansex-freetvfreesatteli tefreecabletv-makemoneynow.com/.html
I seriously don't understand this. I've never had any trouble with using Google to find the sites I want -- heck, I can find the website for the Hilton hotels in Paris on the first try -- and I rarely get porn sites in the top 10 unless that's what I'm looking for.
I dont use teh lunix but from what I've heard from my friends, nvidia's drivers are actually pretty damn good.
Most people don't use Lunix -- as far as I can tell, it doesn't support anything more recent than the C128 -- and I'd be surprised if NVidia made hardware for systems that old.
But if I'm the first mover on this particular fake site, none of them is likely to tell you that it's a scam site, either. What do you do if your web of trust says neither "yes" nor "no"?
With multicore, the CPUs are sharing a single memory bus. At the two-core level, this isn't too much of a performance hit, but by the time you hit four cores, you lose most of the benefit of that fourth core to the lack of memory bandwidth.
Intel's Xeon chips are running into this problem already. A single Xeon CPU has better memory performance than a single Opteron, but a four-way Opteron system, with a separate memory controller and RAM bank for each chip, blows away a four-way Xeon system, since the four Xeons have to share the memory controller and memory.
When's the last time you were at a movie?!? Didn't you notice all the product placement in them?
The last movie I saw was the LaserDisc rip of "Return of the Jedi". No product placement there. Before that was the rips of the other two episodes, then "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Phantom Menace". Again, no product placement.
The last movie I recall seeing with any product placement was "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", and that was a long time ago.
Recent experiments have shown that subliminal messaging works, but the effect wears off after a second or so.
One experiment consisted of a subject sitting in front of a computer screen. The screen would blink briefly (about 1/100 of a second) and then show a list of words. The subject would then pick a word randomly. It turns out that if one of the words was displayed during the blink, the subject would almost always pick that one, but if no word was shown, if a word not in the list was shown, or if the delay between the blink and the list showing up is more than a second, word selection is random.
Does anyone have a suggestion for how I could get the original movies in a good format?
Look for.torrents of the LaserDisc rips on suprnova.com. Since the originals are probably never going to be released on DVD, the LaserDisc version is probably the best-quality format that will ever be available.
I'd have bought a Zarus PDA if I had been able to find one that had the features I was looking for: a greyscale screen, low weight, no backlight, and a long battery life. Oh yes, and one that didn't cost $400+.
Instead, I got a $99 Palm Zire 21. Meets my needs exactly.
So, I send out an email from capital-one.com asking you to update your account details. Capital-one.com is an exact duplicate of the important parts of the capitalone.com web site, and it even has a valid SSL certificate. How is "secure, authenticated communications" going to stop people from going to the site and giving away personal information? If the email and site are done right, I don't even need to make it an HTML email to catch people.
As a programmer, I find it far more useful to have the two monitors attached to different computers. That way, when the program I'm debugging kills one computer, it doesn't affect the computer with my development environment.

It may be cliche, but there are too many places in this world that doesn't have adequate access to clean water.
And (to use another cliche) there are some places in this world where water is too cheap to meter.
If you put the cold side of the peltier in someone else's apartment, you can get >100W of heat out of 100W of power.

Not quite.

Summer is the "dry" season in western Washington, in that you can expect to see the sun, and that it may go a week or more without rain.
In what aspect is google better (I mean, apart from the fact that everyone knows the website)?
Google does furlongs per fortnight.
You haven't been here long, have you?
Actually, silver is even better for the job than copper -- it's got about 2% lower resistance -- but the expense usually isn't worth the results.

You forgot something blindingly obvious. Not only are you giving away your location, I think I can make a reasonable guess at your real name.
How many ebooks can it store? The Zire 21 has room for two weeks' light reading, plus a couple reference manuals.

There are two issues being discussed here:
1) Giving attribution to the original author. The GPL does not require this.
2) Replacing the original author's copyright notices in the source code with your own. The GPL does not permit this, and doing so is against the law.
