It's just the form-factor/connector. TFA says it won't be electronically compatible with PCMCIA and will be physically keyed to not fit in a PCMCIA slot (though otherwise identical).
Why use the PCMCIA form-factor? It appears they aren't actually using it for PCMCIA. Is it very difficult to design a connector, or is it to do with using existing manufacturing tools originally designed to make PCMCIA cards?
You could examine the source, or trust the hundreds of other people who have done so.
You don't need to trust Fyodor. That's sort of the point of open source.
Just last week my dad screwed up doing just this. Searched for "download VLC", clicked the first link on Google (sponsered link, not a search result), got several toolbars.
So, did anybody believe the US military when they they announced (after a leak to the media) that they were deploying a brand-new stealth aircraft in Afghanistan just to monitor an enemy with no radar facilities?
In case it wasn't clear; it is thought that the RasperryPi graphics driver will be open-source, but the firmware will not be. Like Noveau, not like propriatary Nvidia.
Now, if you're happy using the binary blob GPU driver to play movies from a USB drive
Please learn the difference between firmware and drivers.
Even very trivial computer hardware has some sort of microprocessor doing something in it, most likely with propriatary code. Your mouse has one. Some more complex hardware, especially GPUs, does not store it's own firmware, instead having the driver load it from the system's persistant storage at startup.
Claiming that a driver that can send the manufacturer's firmware blob to a chip is a closed driver is like claiming that the USB HID driver for linux is closed because you don't have the designs for the Logitech chip at the other end of the USB link.
1080p playback is mentioned in the actual summary. This works by hardware accelleration, btw. If adobe doesn't want to make Flash use it, I'm sure HTML5 Youtube will work.
Concerns have been raised about reports of deaths occurring in individuals after receiving Gardasil. As of June 30, 2008, 20 deaths had been reported to VAERS. There was not a common pattern to the deaths that would suggest they were caused by the vaccine. In cases where autopsy, death certificate and medical records were available, the cause of death was explained by factors other than the vaccine.
People get vaccinated and die. People brush their teeth and die too. Statistics.
Writing Dart-only websites is obviously a bad idea. Writing stuff that will work an order of magnitude slower on JS browsers could seem like a sensible lazy solution to many, especially if Chrome continues to gain market-share.
In the worst case, this could lead to everybody having to implement Dart, and the new de-facto standard scripting language being controlled by Google, who, running several of the world's most popular websites, can hardly be considered neutral.
Either the neutrinos travelled by road, or somebody does not know how to use any of the numerous mapping packages that feature a ruler tool, and has not read the paper or, indeed, the news. In this day and age, the latter seems implausible, so I suggest the hypothesis that superluminal particles can drive.
Are they saying they won't provide some sort of x86 emulation (like Apple's PPC emulation), and software manufacturers will need to recompile stuff for ARM (reasonable enough; good for performance), or are they actually saying that there will be no Win32 API compatibility?
If it's the latter, it's kind of stupid.
The purpose of smuggling large quantities past security would be to distribute it to accomplices who have already passed through security normally, and destroy every plane at the terminal.
Or maybe building the entire airframe out of it is a gimmick intended to demonstrate the capabilities of the technology, but laser sintering will make sense as just another manufacturing technique, used for those parts it applies best to. For example, the press release claims that eliptical wings are very difficult and expensive to manufacture, so perhaps it would be economical to attach printed wings to an otherwise conventionally-built aircraft.

Multiple desktop have worked since the beginning. If I recall correctly, having different wallpapers on each desktop requires that you have a different "activity" on each desktop (i.e. different widgets).
Locking applications to specific desktops is easily done with window-specific kwin settings, in pretty much the same way as in 3.5. Right click the window title bar, select Advanced > Special application settings. Who modded this up?
Konqueror is still around, still maintained and improved, and still works fine for file browsing. Many improvements to Dolphin apply to Konqueror too, since they use the same kparts to view directories. I absolutely prefer Konqueror, but must reluctantly agree that users that can't manage to change a single file-type association should probably be using Dolphin.
That's a stupid example. Smoking pot is not theft.
Copyright infringment is not theft either. This is not intended as a statement about whether it should be a crime or not; it just isn't theft, in any legal, moral, or common-sense way.
This would be more akin to a Canadian driving over the border, breaking into your house, stealing every valuable thing you have, and driving back over the border.
The man is accused of telling people about the "theives", not of the "theft" itself.
They contributed code to a specific driver, used for running Linux under their own virtualisation solution. You won't even build that code unless you select that driver. It is the biggest single contribution to this release because this is the first release after they finally cleaned it up enough to get accepted in to the mainline kernel.

No mention of what happens to the money they made so far on this scam, I see.

I'm not sure that the Free Software community is responsible for the lack of meaningful package management on Windows NT.

In other news, totally impartial research conducted by Dettol shows that your bathroom isn't clean enough.

You forgot the SiS chips found in every cheap AMD mobo. They are, technically, GPUs.

No it isn't, and your source kind of sucks.

I think you misunderstood. Half a pound of explosives will suffice to destroy a plane (Youtube link: pressurised 747 is intentionally destroyed with 200g of semtex to test something or other).
