I'd say that poor impulse control certainly does = low income. If you extend impulse to hastily-made decisions such as "screw 4 more years at school, I can make $16/hour if I start work RIGHT NOW!", which may sound higher than some entry-level college student jobs, but they stay $16/hour until you retire, unlike more professional jobs.
From this perspective, those who are unable to strongly hold out, plan, and think rationally, end up with low income jobs.
Stellarium's granularity when searching for home locations is close enough to get most major and minor cities worldwide. I'll definitely be checking out the google product, but stellarium is a very well done, mature program.
The problem with Gentoo Linux is not the system itself, it's the stereotypes that people put against it.
Gentoo is only good for ricers, Gentoo is bleeding edge and unstable, Gentoo is only good for X deployment
The truth about Gentoo is that it is not really a distribution. Gentoo Linux does not make "releases" and it does not aim to cover one area of the market alone.
In Gentoo's packaging system, called portage, the aim is not only to provide up-to-the-minute packages (which it does) but also to provide a wide variety of both tested and verified "stable" packages as well as more bleeding-edge, testing packages.
This, along with a properly configured make.conf and/etc/portage file system, allows you to pull down the packages you want that have been verified as stable (and are also under watch by the Gentoo security project) and keep track of their libraries with revdep-rebuild.
Stop branding Gentoo with stereotypes that label it as X distribution, the project even calls itself a "metadistribution" capable of dropping into multiple roles.
I have flash running on my amd64 linux laptop (that I'm using to write this comment).
You have to jump through a few hoops with nspluginwrapper to get it to work with 64-bit Firefox but it hasn't crashed ye---
Of course, IANAL, but I always assumed that unless you were selling the end product in a commercial environment, this sort of thing is ok, but on the other hand, there are some bits of copyrighting that say otherwise.
I'm really interested in whatever the real answer to this question is because I do this sort of thing as well.
What people need to stop doing is comparing how a browser renders the Acid2 test to its compliance with web standards. If you bother to read the Acid2 page, you'll see that its purpose is to see how a browser renders INCORRECT code. To me, compliance is very important. Not only can you be sure that it will render properly in every proper, compliant browser, but it will also be easy to add on to and change stuff. Besides, as long as you aren't trying to jump through IE css-fix hoops, compliance is usually as easy as encasing all of your variables with quotes.
There's a new technology I heard about at a conference that's about to unfold some time late next year. I think it's being released with the codename "BBS", maybe some of you have heard of it before?
Taken from the hula-project.org FAQ:
How well does it scale?
Insanely well.
Scalability was the primary design parameter for the original codebase. Anecdotally, people have run 200,000 registered users on a single $4,000 PC, with a 25% concurrency rate (that's over 50,000 concurrently-connected users).
Of course it will be more practical when its finished but even now it seems stable enough to consider deployment.
I wonder if this source code will be modifier and edited some way to keep some company secrets hidden or if the comments will be purged. Should be interesting...
It won't test actual images that normal people can understand but at least geeks will stare in awe (or disgust) at the CUPS standard test page.
The page tests all of the colours, as well as a resolution test by drawing lines in a circle 1 degree apart. A standard on most *nix machines, the CUPS page should be well recognized and serve as a good benchmark.
Macrovision has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with macromedia.
The Real Macrovision was developed by a company called Macrovision and is used to prevent copying of VHS and DVD video streams with data that interrupts the picture.
H2O2 is more commonly known as Hydrogen Peroxide, and IS commonly used as an antiseptic. It's one of the cheapest forms of disinfectant available and can be found at any local wal-mart or drug store.
This is great news for linux users, with Adobe first showing support for linux with the adobe reader for linux and now that macromedia belongs to them,
we may *crosses fingers* see a macromedia shockwave engine for linux!
Considering the millions they make selling SDK's and Development suites to those developers who make the spyware, you have to wonder where their loyalties lie.

This slashdot story, just days before a talk about how the csclub servers handled slashdot the last time.

Seriously, though. It could work ;)

In other words, studies show 9/10 people avoid taking lethal doses of cyanide if it is suggested by a pharmacutical company.
How about watching the sims on a sim-puter running WinKnoppix while playing the sims in wine and watching those sims watch the sims..........
I dont know about you but I can't WAIT until someone markets a MailHowitzer to terrorize the inboxes of the populus with.
Now thanks to the sudden influx of /. users, the price of actually hosting the project jumped by about 300% and google runs screaming.
Won't be too hard to see, they'll be screaming in pain as a glob of molten plastic melts to their hand from the heat.
