In general, I'd rather work with a person who has the knowledge but had to work it out for themselves than someone who memorized it in school... all else being equal, they will usually have a deeper understanding of the knowledge.
This will be interesting in how it plays out with the excess number of males in China because of the 'one child policy'. If the gender transition occurs in China because of chemical pollution, and becomes more accepted, it could stave off world war three. If it doesn't, the larger number of available females in other countries could encourage emigration or war. Hopefully the pollution gets stopped before any of these longer term effects have a chance.
What's worse is that they keep stuffing this stuff at the top and bottom of the screen. On netbooks and lower powered machines, vertical real estate is at a premium (600 pixels on a low-end netbook). This stuff should go at the side if anywhere. Yes, I know you can move them there in Gnome, but the app bar actually fails on the right for me... I replaced it with Gnome-Do anyway, although the app selector menu worked nicely as well (and without compiz).
Another good use would be talking on the phone while looking something up or taking notes. This is fairly common, and the only way to do it with most smart phones is with speaker phone, which doesn't work in noisy environments, and is generally poor in quiet ones (the phone picks up the loud noises of key or screen presses). Of course, a Bluetooth headset would accomplish the same thing.
There's possible, and there's 'worth the trouble'. I'd assume most of these are aimed at large scale server users, but I'm curious about how common they are in the wild.
There's actually nine rootkits out there for Linux? Anyone run into these or have any recommendations of good detection software? I've always been curious if an clamav run from a live CD will pick them up.
Just out of curiosity, how can a wireless company tell whether or not you're tethering, when you run a device that can run pretty much any sort of software? Also, is a wireless proxy considered tethering? It seems to be quirte ridiculous to charge for a specific amount of bandwidth and then not let you actually use it.
If people keep attempting this it may eventually push lawmakers into providing a more precise and limited definition, likely related to essential services. That is not likely the goal this person has in mind. As with so many things, it only takes a couple of people abusing something to ruin it for everybody.
MS copied Nintendo Mii's with their avatars. Sony Copied MS with achievements. Sony Copied Nintendo with motion control (poorly). I'm hoping Nintendo copies MS's online play and friend system. As long as they can give us all a better gaming experience without getting their asses sued, I'm in favour of it.
I'm normally not an Apple fan, but the magic mouse actually seems like a good idea. If they lower the price a little, and someone creates some Linux drivers for it, I think I'd be interested. It seems like a very flexible design in theory.

Some committees seem to have become branches of middle-eastern Islamic governments as well.

Occasionally correct is much better than consistently wrong.
... and what are you going to do if I don't??? Oh wait ... never mind.

I have a sign bit.
Conversely, I was playing skeet shooting on Wii Olympics at a party last night and was thinking that things really hadn't changed that much.

Who needs OS X with that ... they sell a version with Ubuntu installed. I just wish they'd sell a larger range of laptops with Linux already loaded.
Licensing on this is 'free', but can be voided if you initiate any sort of patent lawsuit against Apple ... so free, under threat.
No, there's a vowel in there, and it's not in all caps.
Why a deer was stopped in the middle of a traffic jam, I'll never know
Not necessarily true. I've seen a deer run straight into the side of a car stopped in a traffic jam. They're unpredictable when panicked.
No worse than usual. Where I come from this would space the cars out slightly ... but their behaviour would be more predictable.
Don't forget that if you're in front you're winning. A true gamer has rear view mirrors that say "Objects in mirror are losing".

But didn't human error capsize this ship?

My keyboard has a scroll wheel ... handy on occasion.

Anybody tried one?
