The same place I've seen it over and over again, probably. Although he's technically a Connecticut Republican... he just wants us to think he was born in Texas.
One problem with standing on the shoulders of giants:
You have to figure out how to climb them first.
Seriously, though, this seems like what the internet was meant to be, back in "the day." IIRC, the 'net started out as an joint initiative involving the government and several academic institutions as a means of creating a repository of knowledge. I'm glad Google is getting into this game, since they seem to have a pretty solid search method figured out. Besides, it could certainly make researching for my thesis a bit easier.
Heating, intolerable pain, and irreversible genetic mutation! Hooray for technology!
Plus, whoever is struck by one of these can honestly say that ADS cause them physical pain. /bad pun
However, for an expert, a hack is the complete opposite. It's a beautiful, well thought resolution that uses minimal effort.
Or, it's someone who is the complete opposite of an expert...
For example: "Dr. Zell, why do those Thompson hacks insist on writing books about astronomy all the time? They should go find a new planet or something and stop wasting their time! Gosh!"
The point is that RSS is extremely flexible and portable. There are RSS readers for the Palm and Pocket PC platforms. Imagine taking the content of any news/blog site you want and putting it into Slashdot's story summary style. Then imagine being able to pack images, audio clips and other data inside of these files for easy, uniform content delivery. An RSS feed or Podcast could be made to look exactly the same on a mobile phone as it does on your computer, with minimal tweaking.
They aren't molecules, though. Atoms within superatoms share each others' electrons. In fact, the electrons arrange themselves into "superorbitals," and they orbit the superatomic "nucleus" in almost exactly the same way electrons in single atoms orbit their nuclei. A molecule of an element exhibits properties based on the structure of its component atoms, while a superatom exhibits the properties of completely different elements.
Good to see a mention of superatoms there, even though it's buried in the last slide. Superatomic research is the relatively new study of how clusters of one element's atoms, in specific quantities, exhibit properties of heavier elements; in fact, of those whose weight is closest to the total weight of the cluster. There was an excellent article about superatoms in New Scientist a while back. You can read it online here. If you have any interest in chemistry, it's a pretty fascinating piece.
Ha.
Here's an example Newsweek headline. "'With Open Arms': Her husband may have his critics abroad, but First Lady Laura Bush's trip helped take the edge off." (liberal? bah.)
Read something by Robert J. Samuelson and tell me that he is a liberal.
Trundling? You know, every time that MS releases a security patch for IE, it can be considered a version update. They really aren't moving that slowly compared to Firefox.
Fuck Dvorak. If he's gonna trash something that has such obvious benefits to the public at large, he has no right to my respect. He thinks that his celebrity grants him the right to be rude.
'one of the dumbest initiatives ever put forth by the tech community. I mean seriously dumb. Eye-rolling dumb on the same scale as believing the Emperor is wearing fabulous new clothes.'
Please. Don't be such a dick. Unless you have an alternative that seems better, don't bitch.
Windows programmers don't know how to program without a GUI.
Linux programmers don't know how to program with a GUI.
Mainframe programmers wonder what a GUI is.
Air currents can be prevented by turning off fans and closing doors and windows. You can tell people not to walk near it. In a dorm room, that isn't very difficult. It seems stupid to me to spend money on something that could easily be free.
The CD-R is not plastic - it's plastic, metal, protective acrylic coating, and, sometimes, ink.
I care about floppy disks because some schools still use them. One of my professors makes us turn in our VB.NET homework on a floppy. If it were left up to me, I'd never use floppies. You can hold over 1000 times as much data on 3 CDs for $1 as you can on one floppy for $1. It's ridiculous, really.
On that note, why do Jaz, Zip, etc. disks cost so much?
1. Large-capacity, solid-state hard drives
2. What about those HDDs that were being developed where the bits were "standing on end"?
3. Biometrics instead of passwords
4. Improvements in voice-recognition software
5. DECREASED prices on things that shouldn't be as expensive as they are. For example, why do floppy disks often cost ten times as much as CD-Rs?
6. Large-scale ad-hoc networking. It'd be really nice if you could create a mobile hotspot with a range that increases with every computer that connects. I suppose this would mean that we'd have to make wireless adapters that can operate in ad-hoc and client mode at the same time.
7. Quantum computers, dammit!
Would such a society benefit from being separated from the outside world? Obviously a city can't be self-sustainable if its citizens wants things from outside the city. It seems to me that this concept just isn't practical, mainly because of the level of interdependence and globalization we've developed in the more modern nations.

Calm down, Dubya. The Chinese aren't trying to eat your children.
Well... not yet, anyways.

New England has not been remotely European for over 150 years.
A Texas Republican who doesn't take global warming seriously. That's sort of like a Catholic Pope.
Oddly enough, "cigars" works just fine.
Not to mention that standing on a giant's shoulders would be annoying to the giant.
Newton just got bumped up a notch for me.

Mozilla Thunderbird has RSS capabilities. You can receive and browse them as if they were e-mail messages.

Besides, I'm a QWERTY guy anyways.
It's funny 'cause it's true!

Well, many places sell them individually for $1 each. That's what I was basing it on.
Thanks for the heads-up. I've been looking forward to those ever since I read about them here.
