I was using slackware 8 until last year. This makes sense if you have a business with hundreds of clients. Sometimes rolling out new os's isn't practical on several levels, including:
Cost of new OS licenses
Education of employees on how to use new OS
Work required to install to all computers, especially if they're different platforms and you can't just multicast image them
Ahh but reactor four of Chernobyl contained Uranium-235, which has a half-life of 713 million years. Additionally, U-238 decays into a number of isotopes including Pu-239 (not 241), who's half-life is 24,000 years and Americium-241, who's half life is 433 years.
Americium-241 isn't particularly dangerous, however (it's what's primarily used in smoke detectors). It emits alpha particles (He) and low-energy gamma rays.
Oh and by the way, half-life is "The time required for half the nuclei in a sample of a specific isotopic species to undergo radioactive decay." [Stanford's SLAC page]. In other words, half of the nuclei doen't decay in that time, and is still just as potent as before.
Ok first, giving kids laptops is just dumb. They're gonna be IMing all day, plus they'll probably trash them.
Second, I know from personal experience that sometimes its just easier to have a hard copy of the text. It's much easier to skip back and forth when looking for formulas, refering to the answers in the back, etc.
Finally, not enough companies are publishing to eBooks, mainly because of piracy concerns. I know several students who had to order eBooks for an accounting class freshman year, and getting around that DRM took maybe 5 minutes. One kid bought the book, the rest chipped in for their own copies.
So get real...spend your money on something you need, like better teachers if not all your third graders can read!!
TI-89 Titanium comes out this summer! My TI-89 has been my best friend through AP Calc BC, and with USB and more RAM I can't wait for this one to come out.
Heh...I read that too and was thinking "oh no...now they're cracking down on porn sharing too!" It wasn't till I RTFA that I realized the word was "phonographic". LOL!
Was the old google page really that slow? I honestly liked the old one much better. The only advantage I can see of this one is for lynx (or other text-based) browser users.

nah, anything put into ./ will lead to error 404 :-P
...it's just of some cherokee flying around, nothing special.
haha by reading your subject I totally thought you meant "think before you mod[erate]", because /. users could use that lesson as well!
Sorry I can't make a clicky link
You're not from around here, are you?
Pss...it's called HTML, learn it!
Correction: Additionally, U-235....

Yeah so the half life of plutonium is a little more than 18 years....have fun getting cancer, idiots.

Or just burn to multiple cd's, that way the chance they all go bad is low.
Nah, they dropped google on Feb 17th. Get with the program :-D
Am I the only one that thinks paying $400 for a yo-yo tied to a die is a bit rediculous?
Wouldn't distilled water work just fine for total-submergion water cooling? After all, it's the ions in water that make it a conductor, correct?

lol...on the before:
Google is not affiliated with the authors of this page nor responsible for its content.
Yeah but I find the DHTML support on lynx to be quite lacking :-P
At least then it'll be easier to hate both AOL and Microsoft.
I'd bet he will soon, now that thousands of slashdotters are coming after him.
Or perhaps the problem lies with the fact that women want everything equal as long as they still have the upper hand.
...or not dodging it! I don't think the world needs any of his kind.
I'd prefer to not have to have to "hack" my own hardware. Sorry Samsung, don't expect another penny from me.
Leave it to an AC to post such a ridiculous headline.
And as thanks we slashdot him, again :-D
