I'm immensely curious to know who you are. But I have a feeling you won't enlighten me.
This isn't flattery, but a sincere compliment: I think you are the most fascinating person on slashdot. It's obvious you have wide and varied education and experience -- something the normal person doesn't have. I like to look outside the norms of life, as that is where real excitement and achievement occurs. You inspire me, and I'm wondering what you did to reach the place you are at now. This is not the first name I've friended you on... I've been reading your comments for a couple years off and on.
Yeah, it takes a while for the swarm to find new peers -- I've never had to use this feature before, and it's totally cool! Now things are flying along as fast as any trackered torrent.
I didn't even use the Magnet URI though -- I simply loaded the torrent file from torrentreactor.
Just install Kile. Programs that use libraries other than the GNOME libraries will work perfectly fine in GNOME. You'll need to install kdelibs and whatnot, but apt-get in Ubuntu will take care of all the necessary dependencies for you. Good luck!
I found that http://www.ananova.com/ was quick and fast during the entire ordeal. Though I, too, first found out about what happened by a post on someone's blog;)
but you'll get pi in the sky when you die, that's no lie.
Would worshipping 3.14... as a diety be a pious act? Would you make the ultimate piacular sacrifice to become one with the circle? Personally, I'll just anxious piaffe and see what happens.
Yeah, I was rather amazed that programmers in the US make so much more than they do here. From a financial viewpoint, a computer science degree has no longer made sense since the bubble burst. Personally, I found it also killed my interest in computer science as a hobby.
Actually, in the summer, it's the heat I don't like. Moving fast and carrying heavy things around makes you sweat. Though it won't be too pleasant when things are 30 or 40 below in the winter.;)
And yes, I do have to keep a schedule, but when the day is over, it's over. I never have to work overtime because some bonehead in management underestimated the work in a project, etc.
I will say it was quite a switch in thinking for me. Being known as a "brain" in high school (one year I was the only 4.0 student), I did look down on physical labour jobs. I matured a bit, and realised that I quite enjoyed being active, and that sitting behind a desk was quite unhealthy for me.
Perhaps in the US, but in Canada, it's around $35,000 (Canadian, at that!)
But more than monetary issues, there are never any deadlines, and the physical activity is nice -- I don't have to hit the gym, ever.
And $7.50 is nothing. I actually gave up on my computer science degree when I realised I could make at least as much money just doing manual labour. I'm making $16/hr now driving a delivery truck -- or about $35,000 a year, which is all I could expect to make with a degree. I could easily make double that on the oilfields here if I weren't picky about having consistent time off.

LMAO. Actually, I am definitely a big fan of those, but no, I am genuinely interested in KFG's story.
Yeah, but she could at least hire a fashion coordinator or something with the amount of money she makes.

It was more the really bad body odour. That, and anything that dresses itself in such gaudy colours is too far gone already.
Security software is insecure? Maybe it's just having a bad day and needs a hug. *hugs security software*

But even a beowulf book of digital clocks would never be able to calculate anything in a timely manner.
I heard there was a factory that made that product, but due to low demand, it's all boarded up now.
I made that post and am making this post under kubuntu ;)

In Soviet Korea, old cases fan you!
You know, I've used a few case fans for that, actually.
And if he were to attach a bag to it, would it Hoover?
And I don't know why so many moderators blow their points on them.
At least someone got it. Sigh.
With the $300 he spent, I think he could have come up with something to TIE those cords up... it really ruins the effect of the case :/

It's refreshing to see such a positive attitude on slashdot. Thank you for posting :)
Hey, could be worse: you could be C#, and you know how unpopular half-tones are.
Linux users rejoice at finally knowing what the weather's like outside!
but i have windows, you insensitive clod!
Of course a study with around 25 brain damaged people watching movies is a perfect reason to make phrenological claims.
Do I detect a hint of sarcasm in that voice? *smiles*
No way, yours was by far funnier! LOL!
