So, did they have to specially program the ground computers to act like all the rest on the planet, or did they leave out the few bytes this would have taken on the Shuttle to save some space?
All he's saying is that if these weapons are too dangerous (lethally or politically) to be used against US citizens (by the police), then they should not be used against enemies in war.
While I like that Facebook has made changes in responce to user demand (the largest protest group reached over 700,000 members, even though I don't think it would have reached that WITHOUT the help of the feeds...*grumble*), I still don't see why there was a demand in the first place.
NOTHING on your feed was something that someone couldn't have seen otherwise. In fact, there are many things that were specificly excluded, such as pokes, messages, things you rejected, and (most importantly) photos you deleted.
While it'd be good to be able to turn the thing off if you really don't like it (and that's what the protesters are still pushing for), I actually like the change. Instead of taking a look at profiles and guessing as to who has changed what, I can see everything in a single place.
I expect that in a few months this will be forgotten or considered overblown. Facebook has made something convenient, not malicious.
While a 70 million to 400 million jump is quite exceptional, how long will this continue? Will anyone really want to use a clock that won't lose a second until AFTER the sun has expanded and burnt up the earth (~5 billion years)?
"...is trying to force Wikipedia.de from removing the family name from his entry."
Shouldn't that be:
"...is trying to force Wikipedia.de TO removE the family name from his entry."

Was the submitter a German? If so, I can understand how he got these minor things wrong, because otherwise this sentence makes very little sense, and is something a native speaker should spot easily. Did anyone read this again before posting it on the front page?
Includes basic (text only, if you use things like voice, video and sending files often, it is not for you) support for AIM, MSN and a whole bunch of others. There is a way to make it work for Google Talk via their Jabber client, but I can't tell you first hand how well that works.
As for features, I like the tabs the most. You would be having your three conversations as three tabs in one window, with color coded notification if they are typing or have posted something new. All chats can be logged, so you can easily go back and see what was said. There is also a built in spell checker that I haven't yet bothered to get working. Finally (that I can think of now), if you've got folks with multiple accounts you can have them on your buddy list as only one name, cutting down on clutter.
As a big plus, a new version (if I did my math right from their announcement) should be coming out pretty soon, for which they promise many great things on the website...
How the heck are the public school teachers supposed to get their kids into private school with their salaries? That's one of the reasons why few people want to teach there, one of the big parts of the education problem.
Right now this might not be so special, but think of what might come after. If all electronic products had this one kind of charger needed (as opposed to the dozens needed for even just phones, for example), and if you got the range up, you might not even need bateries in your shaver. You'd have this one thing pluged into a wall socket hiding under your couch or something, sending the power dirrectly to your devices. No batteries, cords or anything needed again. A shaver/TV/radio/whatever with no battery in it would be much cheaper, too...

"Hide and Seek" is the first half of Seek and Destroy...and we've already got robots that can do the latter.

It's a good policy.

So, now you really ARE more likely to get hit by lightning than eaten by a shark!
I've put mine up on the shelf with all the other DVDs. Oh, wait...

It's on fire?

You go eat the radioactive looking fluorescent green pigs. Just stay away from me after, OK? :)
I've got Gaim (gaim.sourceforge.net/).

If you don't like Gaim, might be something on here? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_instan
And now that there's a huge banner about it on the front page (http://www.mozilla.com/), I'd say it's fully official.
One hand clapping? A politician admiting to a mistake? The massive boom as their server explodes?
