I like to read something light and funny. Douglas Coupland and David Sedaris are a couple of my favorite authors. Douglas Adams' "Hitchhiker" series is always a home-run (even if it's the 10th time you've read it).
Obviously the energy giants are combining forces to defame the scientists and destroy the technology. What a weekend, Duke Nukem Forever and Cold Fusion both confirmed!!!!
the death of an internet meme? Well, maybe I shouldn't get ahead of myself. They should have held out for a December 20th, 2012 release date and really freak people out when they actually released it. Maybe their plan is to keep letting the date slip until then.
Weird. My high school had keyboarding class in the business courses, where it belongs. We had a real programming class (albeit an introductory programming class). Most of my (Canadian) classmates in University had also taken high school programming classes previously. I wonder if this is an American trend? Anyone from Canada experience this gross mis-labeling?
I hacked my netbook so I would have a caps-lock key. I jammed silly putty down the side of the shift key to hold it down for me. Next release will include toggle functionality (considering an easily removable alternative like wood chip to jam the key down).
I would argue that your argument supports the contrary. If training implies intelligence, then why are large percentages of those employed in jobs which are not typically "trained positions" in the higher end of the intellectual spectrum (let's say theoretical physics for an example) and the drooling morons work in call centers and fast food joints where training is a huge part of the job? You could probably train a monkey to flip burgers, but I am not so sure that I would trust a monkey's insights into the universe.
I took a left at Broadband and ended up here. Now I'm stuck here making inane comments, just hoping that someone will take notice of me and find me funny. I feel like Jerry Seinfeld at the Apollo.
Perhaps it would become a quantum computer but one would definitely never know because the observance of the phenomenon would result in it falling out of suspension and revealing the answer.
Schrodinger's reaction upon observing the quantum computer: "Wow, there was never a computer, it was a 42 in the box all along."

Should have known they'd be behind all the 2012 hoop-la

I, for one, welcome our new occupy overlords.

MMMmmmmMMM... How does that humble-taco taste?

I'm betting you used caps lock for the uppercase words.

Well played, sir.
Some of the readers on the market allow you to "mark up" the books as well.
I no longer contribute to wikipedia because they shot down my suggestion to update the article on earth to "Mostly Harmless". I hate those moderators.
