AT&T android images disable the ability to install apps from third parties which is pretty much the definition of "more locked down". Yes, as you say, rooting is an option, but when I was on t-mobile I didn't have to root just to install something like the firefox mobile beta which wasn't on the official market yet.

The tzdata package in debian is not exactly "sent out" every time some government tweaks the rules. Especially if you are running debian stable. You can, however, add the "volatile" repository to your/etc/apt/sources.list which is specifically for packages like tzdata that need to be updated more frequently. Oh, actually, this just changed last week for the latest stable release: Debian volatile replaced by new updates suite
Because that's the co-opted and diluted version he is talking about? I couldn't handle more than a few episodes myself. e.g. When one of the characters takes something too literally I get the impression that the audience is not meant to laugh at the clever literal joke, but intended to laugh at the character for saying something awkward again which is closer to normal sit-com form. (I'm not trying to say it's all about making fun of geeks - maybe they are just trying to target a wider audience.)
LONDON--"Brace yourself for five piping-hot minutes of inertia," said William Barrett. Then he began reciting the names of every single one of 415 colors listed in a paint catalog: damson dream, dauphin, dayroom yellow, dead salmon...and on and on and on.
Mr. Barrett's talk was titled, "Like Listening to Paint Dry," and to judge from the droopy faces in the audience, it was a hit. He was speaking, after all, at a conference of boredom enthusiasts called Boring 2010, held here Dec. 11.

Alfred Russel Wallace, OM, FRS (8 January 1823 - 7 November 1913) was a British naturalist, explorer, geographer, anthropologist and biologist. He is best known for independently proposing a theory of evolution due to natural selection that prompted Charles Darwin to publish his own theory.
I think my story submission posted two hours before this one made the difference a lot clearer that the evidence points to a variation over space now, and not just time. (yes, I'm annoyed at being rejected, hah - and we had to waste several +5 informative to get the info I included in my summary like the arxiv link). It took an annoying amount of effort to track down the actual paper, too. I first read the story in 3quarksdaily.com linking to the Economist story, then found the researcher's UNSW site which linked to an older article at physicsworld which finally brought me to the newer story and an actual arxiv link.)
Danny Rathjens writes "The Economist cutely writes, "Ye cannae change the laws of physics Or can you?" There was already evidence that the fine structure constant -- a measure of the strength of electromagnetic interaction -- became slightly smaller going back billions of years based on observations of light from quasars. Staggering newer observations provided evidence that the value going back in time actually became larger! The crucial difference being that the new observations were take from a telescope in the other hemisphere and so pointing to a different part of the universe. That indicates that the fine structure constant not only changed over time but it also varies based on position in space! physicsworld.com points out some fascinating implications of this observation. The pre-print of the article submitted to PRL is available at arxiv.org."

Then you quickly publish yours at the same time and get your network of buddies to talk your version up so the other guy doesn't get to be famous. Have you even heard of Wallace?;)
The letter delivered to Down House in June 1858 was as shocking as a thunderclap. Sent by the young naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace, it outlined a theory of evolution by natural selection eerily like Darwin's own. Wallace even cited the passage of Malthus that Darwin had cited in his notebook nearly 20 years before. Darwin was distraught: after all the years of work and worry, someone else would get the credit. He hated being scooped--and he hated himself for caring.
But Darwin's friends, botanist Joseph Hooker and geologist Charles Lyell, sprang into action. They knew Darwin had written an essay containing those ideas nearly 15 years ago, so clearly he had developed the theory first. In a burst of energetic networking, Hooker and Lyell arranged a compromise: Wallace and Darwin would both have papers on the theory presented at the Linnean Society in London. Wallace was satisfied, and Darwin--finally--decided to get his theory into print without further delay. In little more than a year, he would publish his greatest book, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection

And we used to think that atoms were the elementary particles before we discovered electrons, protons, and neutrons. Didn't we all learn that the name atom comes from the greek atomos for uncuttable or indivisible?:D
The other contributing factor to that is that the overwhelming majority seemed to like to play on the fastest speed. I liked to play on the slower speed settings since it made for a much more strategically *and* tactically interesting game. I also noticed that eventually the majority of those fastest games on battle.net were even on the same map. Repetition is appealing for a lot of people apparently.
uhm, Mr. Troll moderator. I was directly answering his question as to why it seems many people treat India that way. I didn't say I felt that way or intend to provoke anyone. If you disagree as to my reasoning then why not reply and give a better answer to his question?
In many minds, the images of extreme poverty, disease, malnutrition, illiteracy, beggars, religious violence, honor killings etc overshadow things such as having nuclear weapons and a space program and decent economic growth the past decade. So they still think of India as a third world country.

Sounds like you are a hacker - in the old sense of the word we gave up defending on /. :)

The entry on geek makes an interesting observation on the distinction between hacker and geek:

This fits in with the distinction the original story seems to be about - separating watered-down pop geek culture from geek culture.
