Yes it should be. As soon as someone comes up with some repeatable, publicly observable evidence for things that do "not necessarily follow currently known physical and biological laws" or that "quantify the basic concept of vital energy in the human body", I will pay attention. So far in my life of over 60 years, I haven't seen any, and I have looked. And, while we're on the subject, why is shit like the GP always posted AC?
Since Professor Farnsworth's pronouncements of "Good News Everyone!" are inevitably followed by alien invasion, robot revolts, radiation poisoning of the masses, and diseased mutant rats chewing on your testicles, I think I will sit this one out.
IANAL, but I can tell you that most of them spend the first ten years, at least, after law school working 60+ hours a week. Most CEOs have done that for 20-30 years to get where they are. Just because something is less physically demanding than carrying a hod doesn't mean it isn't hard work.

Speaking as someone who moved to Arizona so I could study Mars... that photo does not have NEARLY enough things that will poke you, scratch you, sting you, bite you, poison you, or wait patiently for you to die so they can feast on your still-warm remains.

I'm not sure where this statement comes from. Evolution by means of natural selection has always been understood to act at the individual level. You are favored in reproduction or not. There are all kinds of nifty mathematical ways to describe the effect of this on populations that lead to talk of "populations evolving," but that is a sloppy way of describing the cumulative effect of individual evolutionary events.
If terrorists wanted to do some real damage, they'd park on Hawthorn Street and use a shoulder fired missile to dump a 767 into downtown San Diego. The reason the don't is that there is some very real and very good security that works to prevent that. TSA on the other hand, is neither very real nor very good.
I haven't had that experience at Vancouver, but Montreal is like the eighth circle of Hell. I'm polite, I speak French, I don't tell hoser jokes in the airport, and I get treated like shit every time. At first I thought it was my blue passport, but I've figured out that they hate everybody, including Canadians and Québécoise. OTOH, Edmonton is a piece of cake.
It's also a weight thing. The old 327 Chevy or 289 Ford V8s are considerably lighter than the Jag inline 6. This was also a pretty common swap out in Austin-Healey 100-6 and 3000 roadsters. Not only did you save considerable weight, but you could easily get 400 hp out of the V8s. Of course the extra power meant you should swap out the entire drive train also.
The only one of those I spend any time with is Netflix, and I have no illusion that I own anything on it. It is a library that I pay to use. I have a Facebook account that I use rarely. For the rest... meh. I keep my own stuff on my own NAS.
The carriers went to great pains to advertise all of the bandwidth-hogging things you can do with their phones, such as video chat, streaming movies etc. Now that their ad campaigns have proven successful and people are actually doing all those things, the carriers find that they cannot hold up their end of the bargain. Their solution to this problem is to blame their customers for using what they were sold.
They need to put some of those profits into improving their infrastructure so they can deliver what they sold. An awful lot of businesses would be very happy with profit margins half of what these guys are getting.
Right. The default in embryonic development in humans is female. You can be XYY, and if you do not react to the various androgens, you are a fully functioning female. Remember that in normal XX females. one or the two X chromosomes in each cell is deactivated (the Barr body.) Only one functioning X chromosome is required to be female.
More importantly, whats with USA womens volleyball team wearing long stretch pants ffs?
If you're talking about the beach volleyball team, it was cold and rainy, and the rules were changed this year to no longer require that women compete in bikinis.
>"Three decades ago, the personal computer industry was built on the backs of technology enthusiasts. Every product, every ad was created to please us. No longer. Technology must now work for everyone, not just 'computing enthusiasts'."
Gosh this sounds just like someone bitching about the changes in the automobile industry from the early 1900s to the postwar era with automatic transmissions and power steering. Stuff changes. Get used to the idea. "Killer features that MUST exist on a computing device" and are regarded as such by only 1% of users are just going to disappear. That's the way it is with everything.
As I recall from my last trip through Houston, at least 50% of the precipitation is aerosoled refinery waste and other oily grime. It does come down hard though.

That was my point. I run Mandriva with KDE.
Time is money, and $120.00 is about an hour of my time. I'm pretty sure that I can't fix Unity in an hour.
Absolutely! Loan them to students who need them. There is no better use.

People will die much more quickly saving National Health billions of pounds.
It's probably time to seriously consider moving from 2003 to 2007.

But Slackware has always come with man pages. Is there supposed to be more?

They're hiding under the rocks.
Somebody took the whole "Spawn More Overlords" thing a bit too seriously.
