Once you start talking about full-blown web apps served up through the browser, what you really want is to connect only for software update distribution and network-oriented features that only make sense online (e.g. live chat, featured content, ads). Local-only features, e.g. word processing, should be cached in such a way that it works offline and can be rolled back if you get a bad update.
I have had this for years now. It's called a Linux distribution with a proper package management system.
Silly me. Maybe I should have read at least TFP. Well, it's getting late and I'm sleepy. This should have been: 3 wavelengths and 2 polarizations so they have two 3 dimensional k-spaces. Which would still be 6 dimensions and not 5. Yawn.
3 spacial orientations times 2 wavelengths should be 6 dimensions in k-space. With 2 polarizations you should get two 6 dimensional k-spaces. But that's still no explanation why they say it's 5 dimensional.
For the Nazis, racism and eugenics were intertwined because they believed that superior races had the obligation to subdue and exterminate inferior races. And they defined all sorts of ethnic, political or religios groups as races. So we're not talking about some "not so original eugenics laws" but about the holocaust and the concentration camps here.
I actually find pharmacology quite interesting, especially the idea that physical chemicals can impact the nonphysical/intangible mind.
If it can make my hands grasp a physical object, there must be a chain of interactions between this object and it. If there's a chain of interactions between it and a physical object, it can be measured. Therefore it's tangible.
As others already pointed out, this is very nationalistic. And it puts the "benefit of all" ("the need of the many") above the individual, whereas the communist principle states "From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs". It's also not classless as can be deduced from the term "middle-class". You also forgot the racist and eugenics part: that these points only apply to healthy people (what's healthy is defined by the party line) with a perceived "arian ancestry" and only as long as you don't oppose the party. All others are reduced to subhumans which can be robbed for the benefit of the arian welfare state at will (and that's what happened).
In any case, I always was amazed how Nielsen was heralded as this guru of web usability. He may have been early to the game, but I always thought most of his recommendations were bad. Just take a look at his website, http://www.useit.com./ Besides being god-awfully ugly, the lack of any real borders or section boundaries makes it really hard to find information quickly.
Seriously? I hadn't any trouble navigating that page. News is nicely separated from permanent content without using a menu. IMHO menus on webpages severely impact their usability in a bad way. Websites with menus on it are usually the ones where I get lost easily and don't find what I'm looking for. In most cases the search function is broken, too.
And about the page being ugly: it may be styled minimalistic, but that's exactly the way I like it. I don't like sites with much bling-bling like http://www.space.com/ and especially game/movie sites because it distracts me from the actual content. But as both seem to correlate reciprocally, that's not a big problem to me...
How does this compare to STREAK cameras? Certainly, you can't take pictures of objects with a STREAK camera, but they have a much shorter exposure time of about 100fs and even shorter. Now use this with a modelocked pulse laser... or are the CCDs used in STREAK cameras to slow for taking pictures continously at such rates?
My 4 year or so old Toshiba A100 still hasn't S2RAM. The sata port freezes up from time to time; prior to 2.6.18 I had to hard reset after a freeze, now with EH it freezes only 30s until the kernel hard resets the sata port. The on board realtek 8139too/8139cp has issues with the Watchdog timer (that's a known problem but no fixes I came across worked so far). If I'm lucky and a kernel version has no issue with the ethernet card either the USB ports freeze from time to time and I have to reboot or my synaptics touchpad doesn't work. And that's without proprietary ATI drivers for the graphics card, so the kernel isn't tainted.
You wake up in what seems to be a spacesuit. Your tank of oxygen is only 7% full, it's freezing and pitch dark.

While that is definitely true, and an important caveat, the fact that there is a connection at all between electromagnetism and gravity was somewhat unexpected - physicists did expect to eventually unify the theories, but probably not in a way where one affects the other like this.
I don't see why a connection bewtween the two would be unexpected. We know of particles that have the properties mass and electric charge at the same time hence are coupled to the electromagnetic and gravitatioinal field at the same time. And AFAICS that's exactly what TFA is talking about: gravitational waves change the position of ions in a lattice which has an effect on the electromagnetic field.
Trying to memorize one of those to go punch into a configuration on another machine (...) would be like memorizing 50 digits of pi. I think that might be more of a problem than anything else.
You heard of this new invention? It's called "pen & paper", I think.
This is really just me guessing, but I wonder if the problem with KDE 4.2 being slow on your current machine is an issue of the graphics card as opposed to either processor speed or insufficient memory
KDE 4, the Vista under the desktop environments. SCNR.
I hope this will get better with Qt 4.5. I like most of the KDE apps over their GNOME counterpart (KMail vs. Evolution, KPdf vs. Evince,...) but they are unusable because of their current "speed". A working desktop search would be nice, too. Nothing I've seen so far comes close to Beagle. What I really don't like about KDE 4 is Plasma, but that's another issue...
For a large majority of people, doing 50 things poorly is not better than doing a few things well. Though you'll never see it that way with a Unix mentality.
In case you wonder: Unix mentality: doing 50 small things very well.
I'm using unix-like OSs since a good decade now (IIRC it started with a SUSE 5.2 or 5.3) and being forced to configure every bit of configuration yourself gets pretty meh after a while. Including rolling your own custom kernels especially when there's no good reason (kernel modules) to do so in 99% of the cases.
I tried a lot of different linux distributions during these years but I always come back to Debian for a reason I don't know. I wonder if this is some psychological kind of thing, like, I am more the Debian kind of guy...

In an TNG episode, Wesley experimented with selfreplicating nanobots which ran havoc after they escaped.

Honestly, I can't remember the last time I violated a human being. And I don't have alzheimer's disease or some other sort of dementia.

So only parties that have been elected can advertise on StudiVZ? How convenient.

Since when did a laser pulse contain only one color? (hint: fourier space)

Aren't computer scientists writing logic and programmers the implementation?
