I would like to know what models people are proposing and testing. What established knowledge supports the idea of cell phone radiation causing cancer? How might this frequency of non-ionizing radiation affect living tissue, particularly neuronal tissue?
No where in the warning did I see anything that addresses these questions, surprising since it was meant for staff and faculty.
If our mutual goal is truth, then it does no good to simply say "it's bad. Don't do it."
Does anyone remember when they thought Furbys were being used to spy on the US?
I'll admit that there is a possibility of all this being true, but people need to stop being complete paranoid freaks. Since when has China been "the enemy"? Korean War? Since then it's just been complete unfounded fear, ignorance, and idiocy towards a nation that isn't any more Communist than this country is Democratic.
LUG In every city, I branched out from the airport to downtown and checked the internet cafes. There was always a fight LUG. Linus was setting up franchises, all over the country.
INT. ANOTHER BAR - NIGHT
Jack walks in and sits at the bar. The BARTENDER wears a LINUX PENGUIN NECKLACE and has a GOT ROOT SHIRT on.
BARTENDER Welcome back, Sir. No one's in here. It's always empty the day after fight LUG.
JACK Talk to me. Have you ever met Linus Torvalds?
BARTENDER Is this a fsck, Sir?
JACK Yeah, it's a fsck.
BARTENDER You were in here last Thursday night. You were standing right there, asking me about how good our security is. And it's tight as a drum.
JACK Who do you think I am?
BARTENDER You're the person who did *this* to me.
The Bartender shows Jack his hand -- it has TUX branded into the skin.
Sorry if this is off topic but I have to know. Several of the comments on the article pointed out that the reviewer is using a pirated copy of Tiger. I was just wondering how they came to this conclusion.
You guys better hope no one points out the second screenshot to Apple's legal department.
What kind of idiot posts a shallow review which clearly shows they prirated the OS?
What is there in the screenshot that gives this away? I'm confused.
Chances life on Mars wouldn't do much to Terraforming with the way things are going in our world today. Populations will inevitably rise, governments will inevitably feel the pressure, and people will always just want to change Mars "because it's there".
Other than the colonization issue, mining operations might also become a big problem. Disturbing aboriginal environments could make it nearly impossible to study anything, let alone avoid contamination by Terran microbes.
Like someone else who replied here, I would recommend the Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson if you're interested in all the political, social, and ethical issues of terraforming the red planet.
It is my personal opinion that if there is life on Mars, the best we can do is build large domes over craters, valleys, and even calderas that could act as large city-sized habitats. If there is not, then we should terraform to a point where it's livable to twenty kilometers above the datum so that the intense vertical scale of Mars would keep most of the Tharsis Bulge and other areas in thier aboriginal state.
What about freedom of the press? Journalists aren't born with an ability to write thier thoughts onto paper and distribute them to the general public. Regardless, doesn't the US constitution still protect this process?
As for where the labor would come from, that's obvious: the people who want the internet in the first place. Just as new newspapers must take an initiative to create and distribute their papers, volunteers would gladly support the creation of a wireless system.
Rights are a subjective thing. They aren't written in stone. Society can decide what a right is, and for the 21st century and beyond, yes, connectivity will become a right. Whether you like it or not.
In what way does Expose have anything to do with desktop switching? It just makes windows smaller. If there are any of apple's desktop effects he was referrring to, it was the "cube" effect for user switching.
Also, keynote's slide transitions could be viewed as effects that could potentially be used for user switching or in our case, desktop switching.
I reallly wish that before they get to talking about setting up some advanced rendering engines, etc. they think about making QT and GTK work better together. Before we can have cool OpenGL effects, I would like to have unified themes that work across the board, meaning in GNOME and KDE.
Also, I would like to see Nvidia's drivers for linux have a graphical installer. The command line based one can be very confusing and complicated, especially for new users.
Anyway, on a different note, it will be really interesing to see if the Enlightenment team picks up on these new features once they are released. Imagine the possibilities! Can't you see that window minimizing effect in all it's OpenGL glory? What about the dock thumbnails?
Is it just me or do Linspire's products look suspiciously similar to Apple's? lSongs, mp3Tunes, and even the new interface for Linspire 5 looks like it is trying to emulate the feel of Apple software... and failing.
I mean, how many people are actually going to use something with a tacky name like "lsongs". The name is laughable - it's like those store-brand ripoff names like Wal-Mart's "Dr.Thunder".
I doubt mp3tunes will get any RIAA artists to sign on without DRM, which basically means it will go the way of eMusic and that other service whose name I can't quite recall.
In addition, I know it's my opinion, but Linspire 5 is ugly. It looks somewhere between Windows XP and Keramik, which doesn't blend very well.
Linspire has some good ideas, it's just too bad they have such poor execution.
I can't describe how much I detest G4. They basically destroyed the best network on TV, and I still haven't gotten over it. The Screen Savers used to be a show that would showcase new technology, tell about current news in the industry, and offer many informative tutorials. And not only that, it had a great cast that worked together superbly on live television. I used to watch it almost every day at 6 PM CST, but now what is left of it? It's just a shadow of its former self. Now it's just another G4 quality show, filled to the brim with mindless bullshit and pointless facts.
They tried to turn TechTV into MTV, and I suppose that in a way, they succeeded.
No, it doesn't remind me of the Kid's Navi. The Twentieth Century Mac was more like that than this smoldering piece of shit. How could something running Windows ever compare with a Navi?
I thought TechTV was a pretty successful network that releted to technology and science. I mean, that is *before* it merged with G4 and became an engine devoted to pumping moronic drivel all over the airwaves.

The new console uses bluetooth 2.0 +EDR.
In case you were wondering, that EDR stands for Enhanced Data Rate. So the answer to your question is yes, they have worked around it.
Now my question is, with all those USB ports and blutooth, will I be able to control my PS3 games wiht a keyboard and mouse?

It's supposed to be funny because it's true! Haven't you heard of sarcasm?
Reading Slashdot:

Apple.com has slowed-way-down. I've never seen that happen, ever. I can already tell that this is going to be gigantic, as in big, as in gigasmic!

I, for one, welcome our diabolical overlords.
Did anyone else here think that the article was going to be about the game quake?!
or better yet, it Microsoft paid the Yankee group to do it for them, and then do an "independent study" on it.
TechTV is... dead... to me.

I visited Slashdot from a series of internet cafes all over China, from Beijing to Shanghai to Chongqing.
