A Gamecube, PS2, and X-Box can not be stacked nicely.
It doesn't help with the marketing, I imagine. They want each console to be (and LOOK) different than the others, to have its own character. This is not as important for stereo components.
I think it is quite wrong to teach ID in schools, not because it's a weird theory but because children in school have learned to believe everything they are taught (I know I was) and don't have the critical thinking required to question those things and decide on their own (that comes later, about at the end of highschool/beginning of college). I remember some pretty outrageous things teachers told us (they obviously didn't know any better) that I believed until much later, and it's a sad realisation when you think that if something like this is false, everything else could be, as well.
See this comment. Of course you can always screw something up, but as the poster says, you can mathematically prove that some classes of bugs will not happen. But well, you can take my "ensures" to mean "lowers the probability of an error to a negligible amount" if you want.
The moth was trapped, removed and taped into the computer's logbook with the words: "first actual case of a bug being found."
Why would they say that, if the term "bug" didn't exist? I mean, you wouldn't find a rat in your car and say "First actual case of a car 'rat' being found" if you didn't use it as a term to indicate something. You'd just say "this bug caused computing errors". I smell a car rat.
When you are writing software for life-critical applications, there is various software and techniques that ensures bug-free code. Just look at all the airplanes, powerplants, car computers, etc. It's not very usual at all to see one fail critically.
Seriously, how hard is it not to press the big red "No" button on a dubious site that asks you to install software that tracks the weather/vaccums your carpet/makes coffee? The warning is quite clear on all the browsers, I think, why are people still doing it?
You know what would be cool though, if the universe was repeating (like a circle) and you could build a telescope so big that you could look somewhere and see yourself looking at yourself.
I'm not sure if they are the same as symlinks, hardlinks are duplicate file records in the FAT. You can create them in XP (maybe 2k?) with the syntax (from the windows XP help file):
Hardlinks cannot jump partitions though, that's why I'm not sure if they are the same as symlinks. If a hardlink is removed, the file remains until the last reference to it is deleted.
I'm not referring to the article, I'm referring mostly to the comments. See how many of them are of the type "one cannot tell blogs and splogs apart" and "blogs should die".
Your definition is indeed better than mine, but still the examples I gave fit it. When people think of blogs they think of a girl that types "liek this omg ^_^" and the word blog still has that pejorative connotation. I agree that there is a lot of useless content on them, but most of you read blogs every day, and you know they're past that "omg" stage.
Why is everyone bashing blogs so hard? I know that most of the blogs are the rantings of 16-year-olds, but that's a gross generalization. A blog is a site you post on, and many sites fit that definition, including Slashdot, Maddox (who went on to bash blogs recently), and, well, most other sites.
Worse, they could support it, both reading and writing perfectly, and add new "features" to it which other suites can't read, therefore forcing people to use Office.
Also, write code that can be understood.

Autocompletion is not meant (at least as I perceive it) to help you remember the names of functions (although it's a big help there). It's meant to make you type the names faster, which can be a GODSEND if you use names like "intDocumentClassFontState" (overkill, but you get the meaning, and I know using prefixes in dynamically typed languages is wrong, but I like it). I want to be able to read my code when I look at it after having forgotten what it's about. Comments help, but they can only get you so far if your variable names are x, y, z.
It says it might be used to destroy tumours without damaging the surrounding tissue. How does the beam know which cells are bad and which aren't? I smell a rat.
Is this supposed to be cheaper? Unless people were running one virtual machine per dual-processor box, they will now be paying more. Isn't the purpose of virtualization to run multiple servers on one box, so one user can't access the other? Am I very confused?
Well, evil is relative. What if they influence the government to reevaluate the copyright laws and rehaul the entire patent system to work like it was supposed to? Don't the means justify the end?

Wow, what did I smoke?
If you take into account the Small world phenomenon, this means that these worms will infect everyone in the world in at most six or seven hops.

It is because of the chaos theory, butterflies and all that!

the Nano contains a thinner coating of resin than on previous iPod models
Yes, well, the nano ITSELF is thinner than previous iPod models...

Man... This gives porn in your PC a whole new meaning...
Where does the money they confiscate from them go? Isn't it enough to buy the technology to fight them?
Speaking of Markettalk, has anyone deciphered exactly what Eclipse is yet? :P
You can make the VM high/normal/idle when captured/uncaptured in the configuration.

Indeed, but if I had a server I'd want one of these for RAM.
Or "The ends justify the means". I wish I could edit posts.
