I've been wondering why his symptoms sounded so much like acute radiation poisoning since I first heard about this, and I don't even have any medical background. In a really suspicious case like this, one would think it would be obvious to test for radioactivity early on. It would have been really easy and completely non-invasive. Geiger counters sensitive enough to detect something like this are easy to come by, and hospitals have plenty of film badge dosimeters, etc. for ensuring the safety of radiomedicine workers. So why didn't they check him? It seems like this finally got discovered in a general urine test they conducted to try and identify the poison, rather than any attempt to measure radioactivity.
That's actually a really good idea. This is already designed to fit under the TV while including a DVD drive, be silent, use TV-out, etc. MythTV on it would rule.
This new technology compiles photographic images of cities and terrain to generate textured, photorealistic 3-D models with engineering level accuracy.
I've been waiting AGES for something like this! Thank you Microsoft, for leading the way with new and innovative technology, yet again.
I don't agree. The only reason he claims to be a Kazakh is that few people know much about Kazakhstan, so he can get away with pretty much anything.
I haven't seen the film, but in the TV series, the humour was mostly not derived from his stereotypical behaviour. The real point is that by pretending to be completely naive about western culture, he gets people to say or agree to incredible things. The various people who he has persuaded to say terribly anti-semetic things probably wouldn't have said such things to a western reporter. I would argue that there is a serious purpose in showing how quietly rascist many people in the south of the US still are.
I must admit that I'm not normally in favour of capital punishment anyway, but in this case I really can't see any of the normal reason given for this sort of thing.
It isn't really going to act as a deterrent to anyone, and it's not like he's going to escape and regain power.
Regardless of what he's done, this is the killing of a defenceless man.
There is no "planning" of evolution. For a trait to continue to be selected for, it must give an advantage at every stage. I see no selective advantage for having limbs as a fetus which are not found in the adult. You seem to be saying that they may have been in some way intelligently developing this trait because it could give them an advantage in later generations.
Still, I think that, if it is read by someone who doesn't know what "strings" does, they're more likely to try it if it's written my way, because it doesn't involve doing some unspecified bad thing to a/dev/ entry.
Your stats are probably better than most. A site with 8% non-window users probably has more-technical than usual users. Less technical users must be more likely to run old Windows versions.

RTFA. They mentioned the danger to hospital staff from the Polonium leaving his body in sweat, etc.
They talked about poisoning by the non-radioactive isotope, which is still a very toxic heavy metal.

PSP anyone?
How long before they accidentally break Linux in an "update" then?
(Just poking fun. I think it's cool, if it really works.)
I heard a variant with several verses, each containing a different rhyming pair of a bait and a manner or death.
Er, in relativity gravity waves are assumed to propagate at the speed of light.
So I'm afraid your idea obviously won't work.
Please just don't use the word "literally". It is almost certainly impossible to teach you what it means.
Other than that, fascinating. I would have given you an Insightful.
What I meant was, you probably wouldn't want to have to either hold the phone to your head or force everyone else to listen to your movie.
How many good silent movies have been released lately?
Now where is the "+1, Pwned!" mod?

Tried compiling with and without SSL and/or gnutls support. Still broken. I'm in the process of testing some of the version 2 betas.
Second person to point that out.

No. It's been stopping me using Gaim for over a year.
Bah. I know. I was poking fun at Mozilla for being so slow that Slashdot got fixed first.
Does anyone else have a problem where Gaim 1 and Beta 2 crash while trying to connect to MSN?
I've not been able to find anyone who can replicate this.
But does it fix the Slashdot bug?

Students won't be able to do anything, so it will be totally secure. A lot of schools have had great successes with this approach.
