I've always said that the only way to have a paperless desktop is if your computer "Desktop" actually fills the entire space of the physical desktop. I am getting close now with 2 30" screens on a Japanese desk.
Yea, I remember those. Was thinking of getting some when I was young, I may have even contacted you back then. They'd look awesome on my recumbent, but for safety's sake, I think I shouldn't:)
looked it up. gun owners are twice as likely to be murdered and 5 times likely to get shot. Perhaps time to protect gun owners from themselves? Source: papers linked to in this comment: http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3009849&cid=40793137
Sure, oil is a finite resource. But if you compare the amount of oil used to fuel combustion engines to the amount of oil used for ALL OTHER PURPOSES, the latter turns out to be quite negligible. So save oil by driving less, and you have plenty for all other oily goodness like plastics and medicine.
Except, of course, that "organic" is not synonymous for "no pesticides". On the contrary, organic food has also been sprayed with pesticides, just different ones.
nope, it is because you (along with a significant fraction of the people around me) continually think kilocalories are calories. There is a factor 1000 difference in there, you know! That coke bottle you are talking about? that's 0.28 megacalories!
Wow, what an amazing "us too!" article. Basically, that press release says they could not see anything with any certainty, and they are waiting for the results of the LHC to say "oh yes, there it was all along!".
Tevatron lost funding, SSC lost funding, you lose the results, science loses. Go talk to your politicians.
(I kid, I kid. but there are some people who say that when they would be faced with the choice of saving the life of a human or a dog, they would save the dog.)
Radiation itself is not contagious. Food prepared on a granite countertop may have one or two more cells with slightly higher levels of damaged DNA than normal, but is not radioactive in itself.
Outside of those directly affected (i.e. evacuated from the area or traumatized by the tsunami), worrying about radiation will carry a higher cancer risk due to stress than the actual radiation.
Run away? Emigrate from Japan? I heard this from a Japanese w.r.t. the earthquake and nuclear situation: "Yes, it sucks, but it is home after all so you try and make do". Outside the stricken areas (i.e. pretty much outside tsunami-ravaged bits of land) people do not worry much about radiation (though those that do get the spotlight) and pretty much go on with their lives. There is also a lot of independent monitoring going on, which has caught the occasional contaminated foodstuffs, but nothing more serious besides that.
but "professional artists" are an even smaller subset of "art students". All I'm saying's that there's no market for this, even though it'd be cool. That said, people should get back into the workshops and make stuff to their hearts content even if there is zero market for it. There's not enough of that.
And this would cater to a tiny fraction of art students - of which there are not that many. Tiny market, tiny chance of it happening. Buhey, start a kickstarter thing and see how far you get. Who knows, maybe art students actually do have money!
This already exists on big parking lots (f.ex. of malls) in Japan, where you can see on a map where the free places roughly are, and in front of each lane of parking spaces you will have another indicator indicating whether there are any free places in that lane. Very useful!

So is this going to focus on Python 2 or 3? Might be a reason to upgrade..
Please let me buy a cruise missile, I promise to look after it well and never use it!
In other words, promises are empty if the actions speak volumes themselves.

Yea, I seem to remember that. You were the guy making pipe engines, which were inefficient but interesting...

... and much more likely to accidentally or deliberately shoot themselves. (slashdot a few weeks ago).
Or at least it completely obliterated 10-ish years of her life, now spent in courthouses and stress.
Well, we are producing enough to feed the world and then some, the trouble is transporting it to the people who need it.

Are you a Samsung lawyer?
OT, but this is the first time I have seen "veneer" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_veneer spelled as "vernier" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernier_scale :).
Other than that, your message came across fine
You forgot one more aspect:
Imagine if the Dutch government would send drones into the US to kill bad Americans...

Or, you know, none. I counter your "Experts" with the UN "Experts": http://www.nature.com/news/fukushima-s-doses-tallied-1.10686

probably only a CCD chip with a fluorescent layer on top. They are made to be cheap after all.

No one is really looking for the Hulk here.

They are, at Schiphol, required to give you the option of going through the old type metal detector gate. It's in the leaflet you can download from here http://www.schiphol.nl/Travellers/AtSchiphol/CheckinControl/SecurityChecksUponDeparture/SecurityScan.htm
