There are plenty of science labs, just not among short-sighted, quarterly profit-focused companies. Find a tech company that's in it for the long haul, and there you'll find CS jobs. There are also many government labs that that actively seek CSs.
Did it involve cruise control at any point? There was an article a while back about Woz saying he had found a specific software bug with the accelerator. According to him the NHTSA dragged their feet on investigating it. If I had one, I'd probably stick some DAQ hardware on the ECU buses to see if I could record the problem.
What was the nature of your experience with the car accelerating? Did it repeat it under similar or common set of circumstances? Did you find a cause for the unintended acceleration? Not trolling, just curious.
I've got Ubuntu 10.10 on my Thinkpad X200 Tablet. It works pretty well, but not everything works perfectly. I've had every version of Ubuntu on it since 9.04, and some of the earlier ones actually seemed to work a little better. There are still a few kinks, though. Thankfully, sites like ThinkWiki exist to help with some of the problems.
I'm still having a few issues, though, such as the fingerprint scanner not working or when rotating the screen, the touch sensor doesn't translate its coordinates properly (so left-right becomes up-down when the screen is rotated 90 degrees). The mute button doesn't work properly either, but other than that it runs pretty well.
Considering how much better run the DMV and Post Office are today, and how much easier they are to deal with than Comcast or Verizon, I think I'd be okay with that.
If a computer can be infected with a virus simply by plugging in a USB storage device, you're doing it wrong. The military needs to turn off Auto-Run (or any kind of execution privileges) for every one of their computers for external storage devices. This problem has been prevalent for 10 years and they still haven't fixed it.
I noticed that too. My wife didn't think it was possible that I could be that sensitive to HFCS. But then she saw me drink a Mt Dew, then fall asleep 20 minutes later, then be totally awake 40 minutes after that. I suspect it's the fructose and has something to do with the way some people process it. Fructose needs glucose to process, so I think that when I consume fructose, it pulls glucose from blood to process it. That seems to cause a blood sugar crash in me. The effect was so pronounced that people around me thought I was a narcoleptic (it's even in my military service record).
After I cut out HFCS, I haven't had a problem with it and feel much more awake and alert all day. I don't even need caffeine anymore.
Even stranger, if you do a Google search for "search engine", Bing, Altavista, and Ask.com all show up ranked higher than the first Google-related site.
How did Kirk not get drummed out of Starfleet after being caught by Khan with his shields down? How many of his crew paid the ultimate price for that command failure? What would happen to a US Military Officer who made a similar mistake?
In my experience, those officers get promoted. That way, they can do less damage in the field next time.
We can do this all day long, but it won't get us any closer to the truth, scientifically. Science depends on empirical evidence to form theories, not just generalized and often conflicting aphorisms.
You would seriously buy a game you hate playing just to try for a possible million dollar prize? Do you also eat at McDonald's just to play their Monopoly game?
It's not necessarily a fraud. It took them a while to verify the winner's results. If he had been disqualified in any way after they declared that a winner had been found, then the promotion would have ended prematurely, possibly without a winner.
If I had heard about this promotion in advance, I would've assumed that I'd have to buy the game the day it came out to have any chance at the prize. After a week, I would've expected there to be numerous potential winners. It's common knowledge that there are a lot of dedicated gamers out there with lots of time on their hands to beat challenges like the perfect game here. I think any reasonable person would ignore the promotion after a few days.
Merely mentioning Nazis or the Third Reich doesn't automatically Godwin a thread. One has to make a comparison of a particular post or person to the Nazis as a way of insulting them or an ad hominem. Here's a reference.
I'm glad they told us the weight of the satellite. That sounds like really important information. There's no way we could know if the observatory was fit for science if we didn't know it weighed more than three Volkswagens.
I can understand their zeal with keeping to a consistent release schedule. One of the reasons for starting the project was that Debian releases were slowing down and unpredictable. The steady release schedule is somewhat like public transportation: nobody will use a bus or train system if it operates on an erratic timetable, no matter what the benefits are.
That said, I think you're right about letting the LTS slip a month or two here or there. But that's probably unnecessary for their other releases.
I got a Kingston 64GB SSD for ~$150 from an online retailer about a month ago. SSD prices are already coming down, just a bit more slowly than people would like. Aside from memory, it's the best upgrade I ever bought for my laptop, too.

Agreed, I might be more impressed if a copy of Word 5.0 or something worked through all those upgrades from Win 3.1 onward. Anyone know if it does?

It's under Sports Equipment or Recreactional Vehicles.
Fox News implies that it's news by running it on their FOX News channel at 5 pm, the time people get home from work and turn on the news.
I'm curious about where you got that definition for terrorist. I can't seem to find one that doesn't require the use of violence in coercion.
Out of curiosity, where did you get that definition of terrorism? All the definitions I found require violence as part of it.

It's insane just to think that you actually need a car at home. After all, there are no roads inside your house.
If they were without emotion, why did they all applaud the speech in the early part of the movie?

Here's where Tetris flashbacks come from.

Opposites attract.
