There is no reason at all that you can't do that. I'm doing it with my resume right now, in fact.:) The only problem is that LaTeX tends to be a bit picky about newlines and their effect on the output, so I've got a few <xsl:text> </xsl:text> tags in there. Other than that, it's great.
I've been playing the linux-native version of Neverwinter Nights all afternoon. I don't play FPS, though I did try out the Doom III linux demo (which is also native). The games you list that people want are never going to be included in a distro because they are *commercial* games. Having games like tuxracer and supertux is a huge improvement over the linux gaming situation 3 years ago, and they are necessary to prove to people that yes, games *can* be written for linux, which is necessary before big games will be.
In future, please refrain from using childish insults like "M$". Writing such things just serves to make the open source community seem immature, and won't help you get taken seriously.
Bzzt. The Model Agreement is perfectly readable by humans, but is obfuscated to bots and crawlers. Sound familiar? It should, because they are using some of the same (Very ingenious) techniques that spammers themselves invented.
"realizes that the e-mail address has changed on every visit."
That would require the spammer to cache a copy of every single page that they visit, possibly multiple copies (or, a smart spambot would use RCS, but even then they would have millions of files). This costs the spammers resources, which is a good thing no matter what.
The people who are working on this already thought of all of this and came up with their own smarter honeypot. (which, despite anyone's claims to the contrary, is incredibly easy to set up).
And Jan 14th is the dead of winter in most northern latitudes. My home town is suffering temperatures of -40 right now, which makes it very very difficult to see summer as being "just around the corner".
"Extremely critical" being what I was trying to emphasise. Even the local kernel exploit , while dangerous, is not "extremely critical"; it can only be exploited by users who already have accounts on the system. I agree wholeheartedly that there are indeed vulnerabilities, but you also have to consider the magnitude.
I have a friend who, on installing his new Microsoft mouse, had to navigate the installer using only the keyboard (no mouse installed yet, duh). Upon reaching the EULA, there was no way to use the keyboard to say "I accept"; it required the mouse. Which he could not yet use.
Bittorrent works great. The problem is that bittorrent trackers are easily overwhelmed, lost, or become otherwise inaccessible. Since the rest of bittorrent is decentralised, it makes perfect sense to decentralise the trackers as well to further spread the load.
A few years back I was doing a Rubik's jigsaw puzzle (each piece had a 'jewel', all of which together formed a chain, and you had to follow a sequence to solve it. (I can't seem to find it online, feh)). I worked on it for a week or so, and I saw it when I closed my eyes, and I dreamed that I was working on it. No computer involved, but the same level of mental obsession.
You're getting cause and effect confused. Does the particle exist because someone proved it exists, or did they prove its existence because it already existed? Step 1 of the scientific method is to make some observations of a phenomena. Said phenomena cannot occur without the particles (which are eventually described by the mathematics), and so it can't be observed unless it existed before the proof. Scientists did not set out to discover the proton; they had a bunch of theories that didn't line up with reality, and so they had to come up with new theories that described it more accurately. This is why the scientific method is as rigorous as it is; without the observation step, all you have is a thought experiment that doesn't actually prove anything.
I agree though, quantum physics is sufficiently advanced as to be indistinguishable from religion, and the similarity is only going to increase as we get a deeper but more abstract picture of the universe.
Funnily enough, I started reading "The Tao of Physics" last night, which talks about the similarities between modern science and eastern mysticism, saying that science is approaching the mystic. Lots of good quotes from famous physicists that could be koans. Subatomic particles and god are both impossible for us to comprehend (by definition we can't comprehend all of god, very similar to heisenberg's uncertainty principle) and so on; it's a good read if you're struggling with science vs religion. They're not really as different as western society would make them out to be.
32 orders per second (each of which takes at least 2 or 3 page loads), plus many millions of "window shoppers" adds up to a hell of a lot of pages. Sharing state actually would speed things up, as more could be cached.
The sheer amount of data that amazon is pushing around is probably pushing everything to the absolute limit, not just the network.
You are missing the point that the guy, when faced with warm beer, decided that a *jet engine* was the best solution and then went and built one. He's a modern day geek hero.

Agreed; there's no reason to invade a country when you can just crush them economically and then buy up everything at a huge discount.
That war already happened. In 1812. Canada won.
Congratulations, you found the problem with country-specific patents, and regulation in general.
Is there a CSS way to add the nofollow attribute to links automatically?
I think they will be calling it SpaceShipOne-Click. Let the space-patent battle begin!

When is the last time you saw an "Extremely Critical vulnerability" for linux?

No, that's only a defense if it's not you doing the illegal stuff. If the "ISP" is the one sharing the files, it's fair game.
I agree! Pong is SOOO much better when you imagine you are really playing Ping pong! the excitement!

100 bucks on it hitting a trailer park.
snowboards can not be used as skateboards either.
Genesis was coming back from *space*. airplanes are moving at considerably lower velocities, and are flying at considerably lower altitudes.
And then put a giant trampoline there! boing!
