Amidahla, who in Ep 1 was "queen", talking in Ep 2 about how wonderful democracy is
I just watched Ep. 1 and 2 this past weekend (as a refresher). Yes, in Ep. 1 she was "queen" but in Ep. 2 she commented about the new queen that had been ELECTED and that she is now a senator. So I think the confusion is Lucas' choice to use a monarchy term (queen) to indicate the highest office of the democracy on Naboo.
(My god, I've never debated anything so geeky in my life.)
I'm surprised they don't have a satellite image of their web server just as it was being slashdotted.
Here's a mirror from coral cache, though it's having problems too. Same for mirrordot.
Wow, can I browse the known Universe this way? Like zoom from the edge of the Big Bang down through galaxies, star systems, planets, down, down, to molecules, atoms, quarks, and maybe find strings...
Reminds me of some little song and cartoon bit they used to run on Sesame Street. "That's about the size, where you put your eyes, that's about the size of it."
Yeah, the good ol' "Golden Rule" applies well/methinks. Many (all?) of us have had good and bad managers, so try to think back about what you liked and didn't like about each - what made them effective or ineffective.
The older I get, the more I see the possiblity of jumping into management some day (hopefully not too soon). But I don't fear it much, since I have enough experience on this side of the fence to know the best way to conduct things on the management side without pissing everybody off.
Honestly, I don't think it's the sort of thing you can learn in a course either. Some people lack the ability to put themselves in someone else's shoes and see from their perspective. I think those folks have a tendency to be poor managers (or at least unpopular amongst the subordinates). The skill comes in balancing that "popularity" with perceived effectiveness from the perspective of the higher-ups. And I used the word "perceived" on purpose - perception is reality.
I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 280 Pro headphones. They do not have any specific noice-cancelling technology per se, but they are the "closed" variety of headphones with circumaural pads (surround the ear instead of rest upon it). For me, they block out the world quite nicely. Oh and they also sound great too.
I got 'em online for under $90 back in summer.
Before that I had a set of Sony headphones of the same style (closed, circumaural) but they cost more, wore out faster, and didn't block out the noise as good as these Sennheiser's do.
I actually saw the thing during my morning commute - must have been on Friday. There was just the right amount of fog and clouds so that you could "look" at the sun. I saw a black dot - reminded me of the pictures of the transit of Venus a while back. It occurred to me that if it was a sunspot, and I could see the thing that clearly, it must be gigantic.
And when it swooped down to attack, I could see that I was right...
I see what the reviewer means about the the pictures. It looks like it was illustrated by The Cheat.
How very... (what's the word I'm looking for)

The interesting thing here is... ...but the interesting thing about it was...
There are some pretty interesting numbers...
It is interesting to say the least.
I'm searching for an adjective to describe this article.
Somebody help me here...
I totally agree, but I must say that in the short few years I've been doing embedded development I've seen a frightening number of fellow developers who just simply FEAR the command line and keep clicking away on their GUI until it does what they wanted. Nevermind whatever time was wasted in re-launching a graphical GDB debugger over and over when a non-GUI one would re-launch far quicker.
Too many folks still need their "GUI blankie" and that is what is "superior" in their minds.
I remember in 9th grade science class our teacher told us the same thing - "Nobody has ever seen an atom - you can't see them". Then a few weeks later my friend and I were watching NOVA (I think) and there they were - atoms. I can't recall the technology or whatnot, but it was definitely a visual representation on a video screen (something akin to an electron microscope type of image) of some kind of crystalline lattice, and you could see the individual atoms.
My teacher didn't believe me - I wonder if he's still teaching and if he's changed his lesson plan?;-)

Finally, an astronomy story with an actual picture instead of 1000 words explaining and describing it.

When it comes to cat allergies, it's not just dander you have to worry about. It's the saliva too - looky.

Fastest growing distro overall? Or rather fastest-growing server distro?
Tons of us are using on the desktop and not running an open web server.
I'd be curious how Mandrake vs. Gentoo vs. SUSE vs. Fedora etc. etc. would figure into things, if it were feasible to easily obtain such stats...
there can be only one.

Scientists have known for some time that when a person is physically hurt, a part of the brain called the anterior cingulate flickers into action.
I wonder if that thingy does anything peculiar in people suffering from depression? Like maybe it 'flickers' constantly? Curious...

Am I the only one who read "Paper Capable Of Playing Video Games Developed"?
I was imagining some origami figure fragging away in the night...
... get this freakin' duck away from me!
Perhaps re-think scheduling that surgery on a cloudy day... or at night.
Or was that Gore? No he came up with the Internet in general-
Wait, now I'm confused...
