I'm pretty sure dead/unconcious bodies were a game element in Thief; didnt' you have to hide them to avoid alerting any guards who stumbled across them? (I've never actually played Thief, but I remember my roommate dragging the bodies into closets all the time.)
Dean, to the physics department: "Why do I always have to give you guys so much money, for laboratories and expensive equipment and stuff. Why couldn't you be like the math department - all they need is money for pencils, paper and wastepaper baskets. Or even better, like the philosophy department. All they need are pencils and paper."
No, I think it really is cheaper than the textbooks. Especially when you factor in the ability to hold so many classic works. (The laptops are supposed to be pretty damn durable; no moving parts inside.)
These computers are cheaper than a big stack of textbooks, though. I think that's the main point of them.
And note that the article itself mentions that part of the project is getting media for these machines. (And apparently Mexico converts a lot of Spanish language textbooks into e-books.)
When I bought a USB2 PCI card for my desktop, most models had a single internal USB port as well as all the external ones. I think this is pretty common, and nothing nefarious.
How, exactly, do you think major sites handle this? They don't sue deeplinkers, they take technical measures to prevent them from hotlinking to media files. His opinion isn't that hotlinking shouldn't be stopped, but that one shouldn't resort to the court system to stop it.
hydrogen should be used just as storage/transport of energy.
This is the only thing hydrogen can do. We store energy by producing hydrogen, and then release it when we want to use it. It's never been proposed that hydrogen will magically solve the energy problem, just that it might be a good way to store/transport what energy we do produce.
The study's claim is that this is not a good idea, since the two step chemical process is simply too inefficient.
Interestingly enough, I've heard that SLAC gets some of their funding from private companies now, (Microsoft, Google, etc...), on the order of a few hundred million dollars.
"Does it allow smaller particles to store a 0/1 charge, meaning much higher densities for hard drives?"
I think thats the main idea. I haven't read this paper, but I've seen talks about related research where the goal was to increase data density.
But we're also taught to adapt the most relaxed position possible. (At least I was.) My various piano professors all emphasized the importance of a "natural posture." Any unnecessary muscle tension results in wasted energy and can impede movement and accuracy.
I've seen this device used in science fiction before; in Stephen Donaldson's Gap series, a ship's computer technician installs malicious code in the interface cards the various ship systems use to talk to each other. They do a complete reboot of the computer systems, only to find that the virus is still there.
Take a look at the article on sine waves. Using Firefox 2.0, I see an svg image at the bottom. Likewise, the articles on hyperbolic functions and trig functions both use SVG images extensively. It's true that they're mostly used in mathematical articles, but they are there.
It wasn't confusion with the BIOS that was the issue. I was never completely clear on the complete details, but the key point was that Phoenix Technologies had registered a trademark for some sort of browser, using the name Phoenix.
No, you don't have this clear. This doesn't have much to do with flash at all. The only thing entering the mozilla code base is an EMCAscript VM. Flash will also use the same VM, and they'll enhance/maintain that VM jointly.
Actually, at the end of the day this sounds like it will increase security. Since Adobe and Mozilla plan to share exactly the same codebase, whereas now they maintain them seperately, that's one less surface to attack. And presumably having more people working on the same thing can't harm security either.
HTML is a markup language. It can't do anything other than display a document.
No language does anything... but the browser which renders the HTML certainly does.

It's a bit harsh to call it stupidity; water poisoning isn't that well known.

Does it matter that the GPL is in no way a contract?

They're just saying some>/i> of the stones were made this way. Not all of them.

If the subject is adequately restrained, it doesn't really matter what was happening up until that point.
There's already SVG on the web; wikipedia, for instance, uses it for displaying some types of images. So it's not like no one uses it.

Actually, Wright has claimed himself that his creations are not games, but toys.
Here's a blog about Firefox/Ubuntu topic.

For what it's worth, (and not to slag you) this is actually a pretty old discussion. I remember a for Dragon magazine talking about this. This was in 1992, and I doubt he was the first. ^_^
