Haha. Indeed. I didn't care for your post much till I opened the PDF and saw the picture and caption; "... in front of his mobile laboratory at Boulder's wastewater treatment plant, is one of a string of David Norris' students who have worked on gender-bending chemicals". If you ever wanted empirical proof! I bet previous members of this postgrad string "found themselves" all of a sudden after graduation and are now working at Queen Mother or Supersuzi's.
What's even more amusing is the picture of the grinning professor; "Having worked at CU for 40 years, enthusiastic professor David Norris, right, has no plans for slowing down. "People ask me when I am going to retire, and I say, 'I'm having more fun than I have ever had.'" Yeah, I bet you are, dirty old man.
"6) There are reported problems with the CSS engine in Firefox 2.0, affecting various websites, and making certain features unavailable to surfers. Notable among these is a continued problem with certain aspects of Yahoo! mail" I friggin' hate this new Yahoo! mail "beta". I friggin' hate it. I have a yahoo mail account that I let switch to the beta when I were asked and oh boy, how I wish to get rid of that now. I just hate it that much that I don't care to try to find out how to go back to the old yahoo mail. It amazes me that people say the new yahoo mail is better than gmail. No way. The new yahoo mail is just a clone of an old desktop outlook client. Gmail on the other is something else altogether, something original, smart, usable, and very pleasing.
"This sounds like change for the sake of change. Until there is a real NEED for this, I don't see it happening." Here's the "real NEED" for this and it's the same as it's been for most "innovations" of recent years; marketing. The industry needs to sell you something.
Actually, the real lesson here is indeed the same old and busted but it isn't quite exactly what you're saying. The lesson isn't "study hard at school kids" but start your own successful business so that even if you hadn't finished your postgrad degree you can still get all bossy and choosey in your cow costume over those who did.
"Next month they'll tell us the GPLv3 will contribute to global warming, and the following month that it will promote slavery."
They won't, and here's why; this is Forbes: 1) Global Warming does not exist, and gas at the pump is the cheapest it'd ever been. All you guys have pity on those poor oil companies and guzzle up some more. 2) Slavery was good for the economy, and its modern equivalent, Walmart, is a fine American institution.
Why wouldn't Google make money from YouTube? Youtube had two main costs that might've put off other buyers; storage and bandwidth for all those videos. Both of those are non issues for Google considering their tremendous computing infrastructe that they had so much of they didn't quite know what to do with. Now they'll just serve ads to all those kids. It's a much better deal than that billion they gave to myspace just for the ads.
This sure sounds like a Black on Black killing. Had it been somewhere a little to the East of Greater Manchester I might've suspected it was a White on Black racist killing, but not where it happened.
Privacy concerns. Google is amassing so much information it's not funny. By now it probably knows me better than I know myself. I do not like this at all.
It sounds extremely unlikely to me that we are such the only and ultimate instance of intelligent life in existence. There has to be others, some more intelligent than us.
I really question the need for this. I got into slack last year and ran it for a little while. Yes, I learnt some stuff and I'm quite fond of it for that reason, but, with all honesty, after a while I just felt that any deeper learning than that was unwise. I'd rather let an easy installer like ubuntu deal with the installation issues and a package manager like apt-get deal with all software management while I learn, instead of all the low stuff and tedious detail of system management, perhaps something higher level and more useful for me, like lisp, ruby, python or whatever.
They are reasonable people; logical, they cite evidence, numbers, and are thoroughly credible. That's what I hate about the GOP as it stands; it relies on big noise, all-on-message-now, on-and-on advertising-style repetition of nonsense phrases such as "hates america", "helps the terrorists".
Umm, for a start it's "hear hear". Then, I think it's a prime example of "traditional" alright, but "great"? Look, Coronation Street has been running since, umm, the stone age, over 46 years, but I could never stand to watch even a single episode of it.

What might I want to do with a tabletop particle accelerator?
Ubuntu just works! More so than any OS and software bundle I'd ever used before.

I really misread this as a Hitler Prize.

Linux will.
I think there ought to be an investigation to make sure Oracle isn't doing something anti-competitive.
Hahaha. You really got me laughing there.
It's also nice, once the iso burned, which is a 2 minute job, to have a CD around.
What the heck is "gettinging"?

May I ask, why would you actually feel "pity" for him? I'm curious about this anti-intellectual streak.
Well, annoying people must be a good way to get them to buy stuff otherwise we wouldn't be seeing this explosion in telemarketing.

Oh God. Nothing annoys me more than those RnB MP3 ringtones.
And they didn't even develop Picasa; they bought it. Their other software, like Orkut or Google Talk, is forgettable.
