Several 19th-century scientists toyed with the penetrating rays emitted when electrons strike a metal target. But the x-ray wasn't discovered until 1895, when German egghead Wilhelm Röntgen tried sticking various objects in front of the radiation - and saw the bones of his hand projected on a wall.
Windows code is too complicated. It's not the components themselves, it's their interdependencies. An architectural diagram of Windows would suggest there are more than 50 dependency layers (never mind that there also exist circular dependencies). After working in Windows for five years, you understand only, say, two of them.
"NASA is seeking proposals 'for creating and managing innovative activities, events, products, services, or other types of formal or informal education methods for the purpose of disseminating information nationally about NASA's projects and programs.'"
Seriously, I have no idea what this sentence says.
I kept a running blog (signature) of my installation of Ubuntu on a Dell Inspiron 6000. From memory, Ubuntu detected all of the default hardware that is included in the Inspiron line. My other thoughts on Ubuntu... well, good and bad, but my general experience with using this laptop has been very good. Many internet reviews of the product put its battery life at 4-5 hours. I've managed 6.5 hours on the single battery, but that includes the odd smoke brake when the system powers down automagically. The hot keys for laptop functions are handy, such as auto adjustment of screen brightness - can be handy in many situations, such as if you want to preserve battery or reduce eye strain at night etc.
Many teenagers working a crap supermarket job remember the number 1 rule: steal from the store, you're in trouble. Well with that in mind, it's safe to say the manager of this project would be packing a serious Uzi.

It was this hot 400 years ago? Global warming indeed...

Perhaps unsurprisingly, he died of cancer.

Duke Nukem Forever and?
Only if there's equal wealth distribution.
Especially if it lights a cigarette...
I'm still playing Civilization 2. Really.
Maybe if EA didn't run its coders in to the ground, they wouldn't need to go on to the patches...
How do you know Professor Sir John Pendry isn't a Romulan, hmm?

or our jobs pay for it so that we can do your jobs from anywhere in an emergency.
Which means you can't play games on it, right?
Workstation + shopping trolley + chain and power cable connected to car battery = portable computing. Wireless just makes it even better!

Does this mean the images we're receiving right now are already 41 years old?
Eating cooked rice also helps stopping diarrhea.
Not if you put curry on it...
...why are they still allowed to include internet explorer with windows?
Throw it at them, thick and fast. Make sure you include every acronym known to the tech world. They'll look for someone else in no time!

Dude, the last thing I needed right now was more acronyms!
Dude, you're an undergrad too?
Even informing us on the day would have been enough notice. I mean, i'm in Australia, but I can ping a server in North Dakota in under a second, easy.
