Could you please shut the fuck up already with your constant, preachy whining?! We are all sad that the T-Rex couldn't do his job properly and rid us of your hollier-than-thou attitude when it had the chance!
Because Slashdot wants to encourage its users to log in.
Why? Because (Among other things) it makes having actual conversation easier, when you are confident that you are talking to the same person and not constantly changing anonymous person.
That is quite a unique and novel idea. And it just might be crazy enough to work.
Of the top of my head, I would be worried about the surface of the bubble to remain flexible in such tempeture and all the crap in the water. It also must be quite strong to withstand the pressure/pucture issues. Also the motion would be quite chaotic, so it may not be easy to make it do useful work.
This is yet another sensetionalist blurb article: Oh no! A large sunspot! Communication might be affected!!! Once you discuss one of these useless stories, there is nothing left to discuss.
Yes, there is a sunspot. They occur all the time. So what?
She was the first to smell a sudden burst of methane
Not to doubt your story, but how did she smell the methane? Methane is an odorless gas. This is why additional additives are included in the household gas for safety.
What you propose is impossible. We sill never have a perfect terrestrial civilization.
However, overall when you average out all the global situations, things have never been this good. Where do you draw the line before you say "Good enough. Lets set our goals higher"?
I love games and finished a computer science degree. Afterwards I could of went into game development, but after hearing how apalling working conditions are, avoided the industry.
Good to see that I am not alone in my admiration of Advantage series. Love the keyboard, except for those horrible rubber function keys.
If you are not a touch-typist do not get an Advantage keyboard. You will suffer gretly as that keyboard angles and layout will make your hunt-and-peck extraordinarily more difficult. Also Advantage is quite an expensive options with $300 pricetag. Adaptation period is at least two weeks as well. Also it is only manufactured in the USA and Kinesis does not provide shipping to other countries, so you may pay even more to get one from a reseller (Here in Australia I paid $400 for mine).
I would reccomend Microsoft Natural series if you want a split layout without the extremety and not breaking the budget.
All that negativity being said, once you get comfortable with Kinesis Advantage, it is just a pure joy to use (Except function keys:-P). If you have RSI definitely give it a try, pricetag be damned. If you possibly can, go to a shop that stocks it and try it out. You will either fall madly in love with it or decide it is too extreme.
The humans are dumb nonsense comes from the fact that animals are smart enough to achieve equilibrium with their environment while humans pave a path of destruction anymore they go.
Why is it so many people see humans as not part of nature?
If we build a dam, we are damaging the ecology. If a family of beavers build a dam, it is all natural. If we grow a cow and slaughter it in a slaughterhouse, it is barbaric and unnatural. Yet when a lioness brings down a buffalo that is all fine and part of the circle of life. Why is a piece of plastic artificial, but a piece of wood carved by a beaver is not?
In my opinion humans are animals that change their environment around them to suit their needs. Just like a bird that makes a nest to care and protect its young. A city is much more comfortable for us than a forest. An airplane is a tool to get around just like a spider that builds a sail out of a web to use wind to get across a river.
Yes, we are VERY good at what we do. With our usurpassed intelligence and social hierarchies we have tames the most hostile of environments. All this "destruction" you accuse humanity of is just nature rearanging itself to another state.

Indeed.
A pity how poorly he was treated after the war's end by the very country he fought so hard to protect!
Dear Dr Ian Malcom,
Could you please shut the fuck up already with your constant, preachy whining?! We are all sad that the T-Rex couldn't do his job properly and rid us of your hollier-than-thou attitude when it had the chance!

I shudder to think what this giant Wooly Mammoth intends to do with those scantily clad hot women...
Why not just put that ring on a chain and wear it around your neck like a necklace? This is what my electrician friend does.

What is there to discuss?
This is yet another sensetionalist blurb article: Oh no! A large sunspot! Communication might be affected!!! Once you discuss one of these useless stories, there is nothing left to discuss.

Why not just say "In the last 25 years"?!
Thank you.

Damn you Slashdot for butchering my question after posting! Copy-paste looked fine on preview!
Rei: How did you manage to post the unicode in the first place successfully?
Iceland is also cold. Contrast it with tropical Hawaii full of sunbathing eye candy :-)
Also, although "Kilauea" is hard to say, I don't even know how to read "BÃrÃarbunga". How do you pronounce the 'Ã' character?
Well, here is a good example: Mathematical axioms.
Axioms are supposed to be believed because they are the fundamental properties. You don't prove them.
As an example: Do you believe that prallel lines never intersect?
All of the ones that you choose. Or don't choose. Or can't be bothered to think about. Or none at all.
Glory to Discordia! Or not...
He is the new Jon Katz/Roland. But his opinion pieces are even more shit.
Thank you for your correction. Any help with learning this language is appreciated.
Please explain.
From my experience in the software industry, good managers are worth their weight in gold.

Chicken periods.
Yuummmm...
Do you want it blown again?
It is object-oriented now!

I would love to have a Kinesis Advantage with durability and buckling springs of Model M.
Advantage got such a good layout, but the rubber function keys are just garbage!!!

I am very happy with rectangular shape of the screen. It is very intuitive and practical. GUI windows are rectangular after all.
What shape would you like your screen if you had a chance to customize?
