I have always thought that the center of the room should be a big open area with a lot of open desks, like a newsroom. Around the walls are closed offices. Everyone gets both an office and an open desk. When someone wants privacy and quiet, go hide. When communication is essential, come out in the open.
What does freedom of speech have to do with how safe I am? What does freedom of thought have to do with how safe I am? Your response is full of irrelevancies. As I travel about the world, I am much more likely to be kidnapped or murdered because I am an American. No one will bother my wife. Who is safer?
I am an American citizen. I've been to China ten times. I speak Chinese. My wife is Chinese. I guess that makes me informed but stupid. On what are you basing *your* experience?
Really, is high tech scarier in the hands of China's gov't, or the USA's? I bet most people in the world think the American gov't is pretty scary right now.
My experience with i18n is that scim actually works now in KDE, most of the time. I never got it, or any other i18n input method to work in SuSE 9.1 (probably my fault). I was so frustrated that I purchases a Mac just for i18n, and now I have two operating systems that both sort of work some of the time.
When I used to use SuSE, I went to the SuSE website for support, such as using bugzilla. With the switch to Novell, I had to wander around for hours in Novell's mazelike web pages to find, register, and use the same set of support utilities. Will I have migrate back to SuSE for the next distribution? Maybe half here and half there? What a mess they are making of this. Reminds me of Red Hat's mess when they stopped supporting the desktop, and then created Fedora some months later. A lot of users, myself included, switched to SuSE then.
On the other hand, I have found SuSE/Novell/whatever much more pleasant to use than Red Hat. The Novell bugzilla response has been particularly good.
Good things like the crash of 1987? Computer-run mutual funds appear to do no better than fund managers, either. I suspect that most of the larger mutual funds have relatively strict rules about when to buy and sell, in order to minimize emotional choices.
I wonder if perhaps cats are responsible for civilization. Much of the way our culture is formed was based on the actions of people who were basically nuts, from their culture's point of view.
The guy appears to be a lone whacko (I have a PhD in Astrophysics myself, so I can recognize a fellow wacko), but if anyone is interested in the real thing, here is a link to a paper eliminating the need for dark matter:
I suspect that the reason for three keys is just for developers to have hardware to work with. Three keys are obviously otherwise useless. They probably picked as many keys as
they could fit in until the cost matched the USB interface.
I hope they don't pull the same trick as Fingerworks and go out of business without leaving
behind an open source interface. I have two iGesture mouse touch pads that can't be configured because the configuration software doesn't run on the 2.6 kernel.
I want to use the full keyboard for Chinese. It is the ultimate solution.
....Maddison excelled in school and spent his formative years in
the rich
intellectual stew that was wartime Cambridge. He fondly quotes one
of his
instructors, Dharma Kumar: "Time is a device to prevent everything
happening
at once; space is a device to prevent it all happening in
Cambridge."
The quotation isn't John Wheeler. It is a Cambridge don whose name I forget. It went something like, "Time is nature's way of preventing everything from happening at once, and space is nature's way of preventing everything from happening at Cambridge."
I've got it written down somewhere...

So, if I use SuSE now, should I switch? Is Novell now evil-by-contact?

No need for thanks, Austrialia, we're just helping another Big Brother.

I can't remember the last time I interacted with a neutrino, which is a perfectly good example of dark matter. Do you not believe in neutrinos?

The point, by the way, is that Cooperstock and Tieu aren't lone wackos because there are two of them.

These guys show that dark matter comes from ignoring nonlinearities in general relativity.

I've always thought that we should allow drunk driving from midnight to 6 AM. This eliminates a part of the population no one will miss.
