Really? Which, exactly? The only thing I can think of off the top of my head that even has the word "quantum" in it is "Natural Science", which doesn't really apply here.

There's also a very annoying bug wrt to date searches while using Safari: picking one of the relative date ranges (last week/month/quarter/etc.) switches the radio button to the explicit date range, which is preset to the whole span of the archive (1982 to the present). It's not terribly serious, I suppose, but it's been there pretty much since the first redesign the page got after the buyout, and I've gotten seriously sick of backing up, fixing the form, and hitting search again.
Interesting, I always figured it was something like that, though I was more envisioning someone just diverting a few dozen bags from the ordinary process.
Ever notice how in ads for chips, the bags the actors are "eating" from were never sealed to begin with? Their tops are missing the little horizontal lines where the heat-sealer presses, and the clear bits where it separates asymmetrically when you open it? This has nothing to do with anything, I've just always found it interesting.
Mplayer is awesome when it works, but incredibly poorly documented/supported. It makes VLC seem intuitive, and that's saying something. I lots of fun figuring out how to make modern soft-subbed anime (colored, custom fonts, etc., packed in MKVs) render properly--the OS X GUI wrapper is crap.
I am sorry, but listing out all possibilities (assuming that's what they did) and showing one is the minimum IS a valid proof for that minimum in that particular case.
For example, to prove "7 is a prime number", listing out 1,2,3,4,5,6 and then showing all are not a factor of 7 is a valid proof that "7 is a prime number". If you think this is not a proof, tell me which step in the proof is wrong.
The one where you claim 1 is not a factor of 7....
I used this to rip the NYPL's crappy windows-only format so I could play their books on my iPod--OverDrive running on my work thinkpad, audacity on my powerbook. the only hard part was getting anything to stably record 15-hour tracks....
(Yes, I know OverDrive has a mac version now, but it didn't then.)
To Americans, most of the rest of the world was conquered by the commies long ago. Who are you to define the spectrum of acceptable politics so narrowly?
Hmm. Fair enough. I can't name anything off the top of my head, but I'd be equally interested in some examples of cartels that remained in control of the market for any substantial length of time without government support.

Sounds like another vote for RMS to me.
to repeat what i said on the macworld article's comment board,
sudo dscl localhost -create /Local/Default/Hosts/safebrowsing.clients.google.com IPAddress 127.0.0.1
(or do the obvious with /etc/hosts if you're still running tiger (not that i know if safari 3.2 is available for tiger....))

You think that's fun, check out James P. Hogan's website....
And people mock me when I say greens hate people....

There was something like this in the mid 90's in the local college's gym when I was growing up.
Cue the Electric Universe evangelists in 3 ... 2 ... /. was full of them six months ago. I wonder where they all went?
Seriously,
One likes to believe in the freedom of music, eh?
Speaking of which, where's Rock Band: Rush? I want to play "2112"!

Hell, compare it to the Analytical Engine--Ada Lovelace wrote software for hardware that never got built.
Or they are just trying to find a way to prove (or disprove) that a quantum computer hactually is a quantum computer.
Have you recently developed a Cockney accent, or was that a pun?
Q: How many mathematicians does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: One. He gives it to a physicist, thus reducing it to a previous joke.
I have some friends who can, together, sing a standard US dial tone.
Bureaucrats suffer for leaking? Against a Republican? You're kidding, right?
If you had an account, I'd friend you. Well said, bro.

Now get off my lawn!

How is pressure from new technology not a natural way to dissolve?
