I have linux installed on my tablet pc. I can rotate the screen, use the stylus, and even get gimp to work w/ pressure sensitivity on the tablet. Sure there's not a ton of other specialized software for the tablet but even when I had windows on it the only app I ever really used for a tablet was the note and journal apps. One Note is nice for the extra note organization features but if I really want to take notes I could just open up a blank gimp doc and jot notes and it would be pretty much the same as the Journal app in windows. I haven't even looked for a note taking system since I've been out of school though, it just doesn't get used that way anymore. It very well could be that some sort of note taking software for linux exists and I just don't know about it. BTW the reason my tablet works under linux is because its based on wacom tablet technology which linux has drivers for.

The trouble with claiming to have the lowest user ID in a thread is that someone with one lower will inevitably show up just to post and annoy you. N00b.
As another Slashdot Senior, I need remind you that you've neglected to tell him to get off your lawn.
Thats the name of the book. Anyway the whole strapping wings to your arms as a low grav sport was around before This Place Has No Atmosphere. Robert Heinlein in the short story "The Menace from Earth" had a similar idea.
Baen.com they release almost all their books in DRM free formats, have a free library to get you hooked, I mean started. The formats they publish in currently are RTF, HTML, mobi, windows reader. The fans (baen forum goers) are currently creating their own book reader based on the same tech the Bookeen uses.
Luckily for me I'm into scifi and fantasy, if you're into something else, good luck finding a publisher who "gets it" like baen does.
Well, they did mention that they had been using two systems and now they're able to consolidate all of their systems to the one management software. I'd say that's probably a bit better than having to hack the two to be able to communicate with each other that they were doing before, plus having only one system to learn and train for.
"The pictures of deformed babies is almost unbearable, and the evidence overwhelming. Just how little of this is getting reported in the normal news is probably most shocking."
Probably cause its a bunch of paranoid BS. Some guy makes a michal moore-esqe conspiracy video and you think the "evidence" is overwhelming? Here's a hint dont EAT the depleted uranium and you'll be just fine.
especially the track mounted movable types, you only have to uncover the lime pit long enough to throw the body in (unless you ACTUALLY have to grab a tape out of that row).
And now he's trying to say the "experts" that he had quoted to fight against violent video games are distancing themselves from him cause they're funded by the video game industry.
"Is "photosofprisonerabuse.com" taken, or perhaps "deadsoldiersreturnhome.com"? "
deadsoldiersreturnhome.com and photosofprisonerabuse.com are available and for 8.95 a year I can register them. What's your point again? Oh yeah you dont have one, because I CAN in fact register those domains. So the house is not so much glass.
The dream world we're living in by the way sure as hell isnt the one where we make our network infastructure, say to other countries, sure you can connect to us, then when they like it hand over control of the infastructure. Especially when if you want control so badly you can just make your own infastructure with all the control you want. And by infastructure I mean the network topology not the physical lines because we both know that each country layed their own cables.
Natural law has nothing to do with ethics, applying ethics is what we do with laws. It is the baseline, it is where things are until restricted... I'm not talking about morality, obviously otherwise I'd say that natural law says murder is legal thus we should allow it. Please try not to put words into my mouth.
Except that Natural Law is the ultimate authority, every law limits that. Thus unless there is a clear moral reason not to have that activity allowed e.g. Murder, then you are needlessly restricting my rights. Now if you wanna debate the number of laws that currently fall into that category... well I don't think I would live long enough to touch on them all.
These natural truths go back to Locke and Natural Law. Natural Law being what exists when there is no community, no countys, nothing. According to natural law I can do whatever I please as long as someone else doesn't take offense and stop me. Murder, theft, everything is "legal" at that point because there's nothing to stop you but someone else.
So, given that natural state, people banded together to protect themselves against the big guy that keeps stealing your food/women/lives. Of course you can't just band together only to have someone start taking advantage of everyone else in the community so it has to have rules.
Every law is a limitation on your natural rights. So the natural truth is that what I hold I own, of course this has been limited by the law that says no, I just own the media, not what's on it. If you need any more civics lessons, please invest in a class of some sort.
No, the deer is not always dead, I wish I was such an excellent marksman, that I always hit a running deer in the chest cavity.
Alas that doesn't always happen. Sometimes its running away from you and you hit it in the rear leg, or along the spine and then you have a perfectly alive deer, but one that's incapacitated. Thus the cutting of the throat occurs with the animal still quite alive.
Ask your friend who you helped clean and butcher the deer, he'll let you know that the deer isn't always dead when you cut its throat.
Whether or not its fake I don't know for sure, its been confirmed he's dead has it not?
Anyway about point number 3, there was enough blood in that video, I hunt deer and they weigh in about the same as a human, so should have around the same amount of blood. When you cut a deer's throat, blood does not go flying and spurt everywhere, it bleeds profusely but its quick and the animal is dead soon after. That was one thing that struck me as correct about the video. In most movies you see gouts of blood, and that just doesn't happen.
Pricegrabber.com is great because there are seller ratings along with the low prices... I inevitably end up going to newegg.com for almost everything though. Between the free shipping and their great reputation its a great place to shop. I'll spend a few bucks more to go through them most times.
Actually the legality of it could be debated. There is currently only a interim government in iraq. That interim government has not signed the Berne Convention. I doubt it has any formal copyright laws on the books at all. While permanent bases and embassy ground in country's like germany are considered US soil I don't believe the tents and temporary bases these guys are in would fall under it. With no law to violate they aren't violating any laws. It may be a technicality but then again you could argue how smart it would be to prosecute these GIs. Especially since they're all armed:)

Uhm yeah thats why it says so in TFA:
"Naturally, the probe is solar powered; it will get its electricity from liquid-cooled solar panels that can retract behind the heat-shield when sunlight becomes too intense."
Also from TFA:
"To solve these mysteries, Solar Probe+ will actually enter the corona," says Guhathakurta. "That's where the action is."

if they spent time verifying each claim they'd be using more than 3 full time employees to deal with the notices.

Obviously, if you want optimization you'd use Fortran! :)

and you're being asked to shove that idea, and if you want a un controlled DNS server make one, and let people choose which server they want to use.

That was a very weak caveat in an article that did not sound speculative otherwise.
I've never been more happy to be wrong.
