I suggest e17 (http://www.enlightenment.org/) if you want a fast, simple interface that still looks great and has a wow-factor.
Or you could go all the way and use evilwm (http://www.6809.org.uk/evilwm/), which is the smallest, fastest, and most minimal window manager, yet it is very easy to learn if you have the man page open.
Verizon DSL, like most ISPs with RADIUS or some equivalent, give you Windows software that is essentially a front-end to the web interface, so that they don't have to tell you to type in a scary-looking number like 192.168.1.1. Here are instructions specific to Verizon DSL: http://www.bensdrivel.com/?p=142.
Whether or not a particular website will work in Firefox as well as it works in IE, however, as an issue between you, the site owner, and their apparently incompetent web developer.
This book seems so obvious to so many of us that it would seem that it's not worth mentioning, yet there are still so many math/engineering/tech/CS types who haven't read it (perhaps for that very reason).
So for those of you who haven't read it, it is a must-read for math- and tech-oriented people.

(Obligatory...) Imagine a beowulf of these things... oh wait...
Seriously though, the additional cost of a mechanism to allow one SnoMote to rescue another damaged SnoMote (and the additional power to carry it long distances) would surely be less expensive than just replacing them any time one falls into a hole. Perhaps such a mechanism is already in place, but I don't see anything like that in the pictures, and there's no mention of such a thing in TFA.
It depends on who you ask. It seems that most people prefer links, but I, along with many others, do actually prefer lynx. Personally, I find the coloration in lynx to be a plus, while the IMHO poor layout handling in links a minus.
While I'm glad they're opening this up to top universities before businesses, I would think that both companies should probably open this up to open source development as well. While dealing with real hardware is ultimately a must for any serious package, it would be nice to have a way to get a package off the ground without killing local resources (not to mention potential advantages in version control).
As far as I know, Ubuntu is the only distro that mostly understands this.
On the contrary, it is the "master chefs" that have a lack of good options. For quite some time now, most projects have been moving towards ease of use and convenience at the expense of quality, security, and versatility. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad Ubuntu and Fedora and OpenSuSE and Mandriva and Mepis and Linspire and Xandros and countless other easy-to-use distributions are doing well. However, it is the well being of distributions like Gentoo and Slackware and Debian that actually determine the quality of code inside Linux, and whether or not Linux can stand up to the kind of abuse involved in "taking off".
As for the initial "taking off", ease of use only goes so far when the software is falling apart around you. Let's not have Linux fall victim to the same problems as Windows and other previously failed systems.
Looks like Cyan had it all wrong when they made Riven... it isn't air that can form a bridge through water when exposed to magnetism, it's water that can form a bridge through air when exposed to high voltage.
If it is alright to become emotionally engaged when government acts unjustly, what is wrong with becoming emotionally when government acts justly in a way that seems counter to the action of most other governments (and/or counter to most other actions of that government)? Then again, regardless of the actions of other governments (or other actions of itself), with justice being relative anyways, why shouldn't justice be praised as much as injustice is criticized?
Apparently I was not the only one immediately disturbed by the blatant abuse of logic.
I've tried to figure out the best description of the overall fallacy of each of his points:
Point 1: Loki's Wager (a textbook case)
Point 2: Equivocation
Point 3: Red Herring
Point 4: Ignoratio elenchi
Point 5: Tu quoque
Conclusion: Ad hominem
(I could be slightly off on a few, so please correct me.)
Please don't take this to be an argument for linux; that would be Ad logicam (a formal fallacy)
a scientists went to a bar and got drunk the scientist asked the bartender "what would be the best way to cure cancer?" and the bartender said "doing something that would make cancer suddenly not be there." and thus the answer presented itself: everyone knows, nothing is better at making things suddenly not be there than anti-matter
When used in a sentence, the word "evolution" asserts a cause (just as the word "creation" does, for those who are looking for flamebait). An assertion of cause in a scientific paper destroys its value unless the cause is the actual conclusion of the paper. Due to the over-generality of the word "evolution", using it would obscure past usability the exact tendencies of the findings (Did the findings spread apart? Did they diverge? Did they change uniformly?). The scientists researching antibiotic and antimicrobial resistance are probably more aware of these facts than most people, and so would obviously not use a word like "evolution" unless it was both precisely the word they meant and unlikely to be viewed as an unwarranted assertion of cause. The article assumes that these scientists are submitting to the desires of the public, although they are most probably just being good scientists.

....but does it run Linux?
An epic battle over America's international trade policy is about to begin: Who will win? The MAFIAA or the Mafia?
How do the Iranian police know the squirrels' assignments? Did they ask the squirrels or something? "We have ways of making you talk..."
It must be over... How can the Linux world possibly stand a chance against the "I'm not listening!" argument?

here is what must have happened:
a scientists went to a bar and got drunk
the scientist asked the bartender "what would be the best way to cure cancer?"
and the bartender said "doing something that would make cancer suddenly not be there."
and thus the answer presented itself: everyone knows,
nothing is better at making things suddenly not be there than anti-matter
