Think of the ozone layer as Earth's sunglasses, protecting life on the surface from the harmful glare of the sun's strongest ultraviolet rays, which can cause skin cancer and other maladies.
Thanks NASA, I'm confused now. Lets not slap the public with too much cold hard science at once. A diagram of the earth wearing sunglasses might help me understand how that can help it prevent skin cancer and other maladies. My two year can think of a better opener -- "I've got new shoes" seems to be slightly more informative.

Oh shit, it's too slow. I won't use that. I have to surf the net, create a greeting card and email our family tree to my grandmother. You can clearly see that I can't spare a single process.
Also, I believe retooling a factory to make interchangeable parts has no benefit. I do not think adopting standards can help in any way. Because I'm ignorant and live in the 18th century.

I hope they don't plan to use refractive materials, they'd be much better off bending the light, you know, like when water bends around a pencil and stuff.
Damn, those sophisticated measures would really make me want to respect school authorities. Round three goes to the students. Reduce the enemy to powerless flailing which will of course seed the infighting. Brilliant. Do whatever it takes to disrupt the learning of watered down algebra.
Kids measure their self worth by how many ants run around when they kick the ant pile.
A few years back, a lot of people did not know how to live in a building. It was "too hard to learn". An easy to live in building was then created.
An assumption was made: "Everyone who wants to live in a building is dumb and lazy."
So now if you buy the building, you are not allowed to do any modifications or repairs to that building, you must request a repairman to come out. The same repairman also handles security. He sucks at both because he's busy scheming how to control all existing structures. Anyone can walk into any room in your building. He also spies on you, allows anyone to spy on you and tries to sell you things when you are in bed reading a book. There are no interchangeable parts to the building. The entire building must be upgraded every two years, nothing can be salvaged except maybe your furniture, but some of that won't work. Sometimes, when you try to open letters from your neighbors building, you can't read them. You go out to read them in a stable environment and when you come home you find your wife in tears and the building has collapsed to rubble. This happens once every six months.
Try them all. I happen to prefer R, but Matlab is great for staging algorithms, plus I prefer scripting and command line over point and click. Octave is a good one too.
By the way, does Excel interface with FFT, linear algebra or other libs?
What... shortcomings have you found in OpenOffice and how have you adjusted to (or worked around) them?
Well I found OO is unable to emulate MS Word's intermittent inability to read it's own format. For instance, I had someone ask me to open a document saved on the Mac version of Word, which they could not open on a Windows version of Word. They asked because I have a Powerbook. However, I did not bother trying it there, OO was able to read it. I've heard of this "major shortcoming" in the design of OO, but I had not seen it demonstrated.
Who ever heard of a piece of "free" [gasp] software that could handle proprietary formats (which it probably guesses at) better than the software that generates the file?
Another stupid thing it does is convert.doc files to pdf. I heard that's obsolete in Word and don't even try the old postscript print to file -> ps2pdf workaround, I think that door is closed now.
The fact that this is coming out of a university gives me hope that this technology won't turn out to be just so much vapor.
The fact that this is coming out of a university makes me think that this won't be vapor, but in fact, toilet paper. Looks great on a publication list though.
Well it works if I take out my font customization. I had MonacoCY for a font, I'm not so worried about the style as I am the size. I can't see it, it's too small. Here's the customization I was using:
How are you having difficulties running X11? If you install X11 from the CDs/DVD, you should be able to just run/Applications/Utilities/X11.app and it'll go fine. If the only thing you're after is a nice terminal, then OS X includes on in/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app. Please, reply here and tell me where you're having problems and I'll try to lend a hand.:-)
Thanks for that. I installed the X with the 10.4 installation disk and it starts up. Unfortunately, it does not bring up an xterm. Probably I have made a mistake somewhere, I'm checking my customizations now.
I would use the Terminal.app but I found it lacking in the shell and cut/paste etc.
when I can't even get the damned thing to run X11 properly.
They are trying to walk the line between open source and proprietary and it is stupid sometimes.
Call me crazy but the main thing I really want from a computer is a nice xterm. I can do without the penny ante annoyances like paper clips and file opening drama.
Yep. The pyroelectric crystal can produce about 1000 neutrons per second. This spallation accelerator produces 1.5e10^14 protons per pulse. Each proton should generate 20-30 neutrons. Evidently this source is supposed to be brighter. If I estimate correctly, brighter by an order of 10^10 times.

With thin air to show for it.
How do you plea?

I wonder where all the adults went?
Everyone in this case is taking themselves way too seriously, including me, for making this dumb post.
Using a key to gouge expletives on another's vehicle is a sign of trust, and friendship.
I'm shocked and dismayed. Windows software always works great in beta. Except for when Bill Gates is alone or presenting it in public.
The frogurt is also cursed.

Living in a cave seems like a better idea.

Here's a fresh new way that's trouble-free.
It's got Paul Anka's guarantee...

I got married at 30 also.
Now I'm 32 and I've been married 357 years.
