Global warming is probably happening on some scale. The question is whether the cause is pollution or not, and whether the supposed warming is permanent or as bad as some claim.
Actually, the article doesn't mention this but it may be a side-effect on NASA's fart experiments, trying to find a way to blast off by using bean energy.

No, he's Phil Plait, of http://www.badastronomy.com/
But I'm well-aware of Carl Sagan's stupid lawsuit.
This Crazy Wacko, Hoagland, is going to have a field day on this. He believes in all sorts of NASA coverups and apparently has a small following. He was mentioned recently on slashdot, as well, as the famous "Bad Astronomer" debunked some of his BS...
I use windows for games, like many others. But when I finally got NWN working (quite smoothly, too!) and UT2003, I decided to shrink my windows partition by 1/2.
Linux is really picking up speed, it seems. I'm converting two people right now, as well. I also converted my stepsister, who knows little about computers (well, she can probably install a CDROM but knows nothing about software-- she's 13 years old, and learned that stuff thanks to some classes at our high school). She likes linux better than Windows. She even claims a speed increase on Linux.
I downloaded it with Mandrake's urpmi tool. It IS pretty nice.
It lets you do everything from set up cron jobs easily, from looking at and closing running processes, to setting up apache and other servers. All through http or it seems with older versions some https thing, so you don't even need an SSH client, just a web browser. (Webmin also includes an SSH java client)
As someone who has had some of a go on Half-Life 2 (yeah, yeah, I'm not the only one, *cough*), I say it will be popular justifiably, and not just due to the name. The alpha leak, as incomplete as it was, shows that the game is going to be simply fantastic. I know Valve justifiably got ants in their pants when it was leaked... but DAMN, ever since I played the beta I am hyped.
And why were the predecessors popular? Because they offered what people liked. Half-Life grew in popularity not because of hype but because of how fun it was. Same with Doom, and the GTA series.
Troll. He said he handles the mail servers for a business. He didn't say mailing was the business. Almost every big business has mail servers for many reasons.
But the RIAA is a huge monster with tons of money backing it. The average person cannot expend time and effort to battle them. The legal system is built on $, not on justice.
Slashdot Mirror
How about slow, eternal torture?
And it's not mean. It's an altruistic love for humanity. These...things...which do this stuff aren't human, they are subhuman slime.
You're such a softie. Death is the only viable alternative for them.
The information is now incorrect! Don't mod me up, mod people who deserve it!
That's what I had thought-- but believe it or not, the username/password combo lasted for quite a long time, so...
It doesn't work? My bad... it certainly worked before.

I see they mentioned Webmin. Goodies.

Well, if it's wifi, it's portable on some level.
But yeah, the initial confusion hit me too. They should've mentioned what it was in the blurb.
The MP3 player software itself is Windows Media Player. Ickles!
Oh, it relies on a local PC? So it's wireless? Wow, what a strange device. I'm interested in it...
I don't know anything about this MP3 player, and I'm too lazy to read the article...
How good IS the played video? If the video is stored on the MP3 player then I can't imagine it could hold much data...

I just wonder when it's going to come out.

Welcome to the Government: Where a dollar changes ideas.
Why Democratic party? There is, for example, the Libertarian party-- which values freedom of the people far more than either of the "big two".

I find AOL to be rather laughable now.
AOL, as crappy as their business is, is rather large. You think you're the only one dealing with this problem? Unlikely.
If worst comes to worst, you just might not have to support AOL e-mails.

Basically, an improved version of KDE.
I for one welcome our new Russion desktop overlords.
