True. Your computer records matching up is becoming increasingly more important than you actually showing up. A matching RFID would make things much easier.
I remember reading an article last year on how the Chinese government was prepared to take preventive measures during the Beijing Olympics' opening and closing ceremonies. They wanted the event to go smoothly, so they had teams of scientists and climatologists ready to prevent any occurrence of rain.
The goal of Chinese officials was the exact opposite of the Australian ones, but the point is - having the ability to change the climactic cycle doesn't mean you have to use it, much less abuse it!
You are overlapping technology and economics, and they don't quite intersect (on the points you mention). Unless you have a level of uniformity, you cannot expect any kind of market significance, much less market dominance. While I agree with Torvalds that its not possible to have a one size fits all distro, you at least need to come to common ground about the hardware drivers, networking tools, filesystems, shells, etc.
NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, , and nice red uniforms!
... the programmers did a fine job killing the OS already.
Unfortunately, the programmers didn't kill the OS, but turned it into a zombie. If you come into contact with this OS you become a zombie too. And the cycle continues.
Thats true. KDE has many useful applications which work perfectly under Gnome. You have to install some basic KDE libraries, but you don't have to rely on 4.x for everything.
Ballmer could have a Ultimate Fighting Championship cage fight with Richard Stallman. If that doesn't work, then a "leaked torrent" of their source code.
There are several news outlets airing the ceremony and streaming it live. Many of them work with basic flash. I watched about 10 minutes on Hulu before it got utterly boring. Silverlight/Moonlight is one among several ways to waste away your morning.
You don't use Windows to stop Linux from being windows?
If you were to go merely by looks, Windows 7 is now practically identical to KDE4 interface. In fact they are so frightfully similar, you'd get the impression that they have same GUI developers.
On the positive side, if they looked alike, people would have no problem transitioning to the *nix+KDE side
If you convert your sofa into an electrocution chair, even the street lamps outside your house would be dimmed. Don't challenge me on this, I have seen it happen in several Hollywood movies.
You are looking at a list of Mac releases since they switched to Intel. I'm sure there is a 2 minute rap song somewhere on youtube that lists each and every one of these combinations.
nm-applet has been a pain in Intrepid. When you have to manually set the network parameters, it converts the subnet mask to a netmask format and nothing you do will get it to work. I think there is a newer version out which addresses that.
I'm curious if the GP meant three cents per page, or three cents per job. If it's per page, the 70% drop doesn't surprise me too much, but if it's per job, then that's pretty amazing.
The cost is 3c/page. Its not surprising at all. Just the fact that printing out a Dilbert cartoon to put on their corkboard would now cost them money, keeps people from printing things that aren't essential.
In our University, printing used to be free until 2 years ago. Since the university started charging 3 cents per printout, the total number of printouts taken in computer labs has gone down by 70%. Perhaps your univ should try that out as well.
I think their assumption was based upon the observation that it had solidified. If they've erred in gauging the extent of solidification or the pressure of the magma underneath, they would become statistical data for the theory of natural selection.

Pirated over torrents?

...its on the back and its measured in watts. Shocking no?
A simple rule of thumb is that a unit consuming 1W if left on for a full year would cost $1 in electricity bill (with the present rates in US).
1W x 24 Hr = 24Wh
24Wh x 365 days = 8.76 KWh
11 cents/KWh x 8.76 Kwh ~ 97 cents

How about a HAM radio set?
You are looking at a list of Mac releases since they switched to Intel. I'm sure there is a 2 minute rap song somewhere on youtube that lists each and every one of these combinations.
Ummm...this is Mac OS X 10.5.x, codename Leopard...
And since the update 10.5.6 broke it, it would be Codename Leper.
A Mac is bricked when its soul is sucked in by Steve Jobs' tractor ray. With every Mac that gets bricked his powers keep growing.
There's value in learning this stuff even if you don't *need* it.
Perhaps FishWithAHammer is in the housewife/grandma category :p

I think they must've used a pile driver and not a traditional drill.
Molten rock pushed back up the borehole
If it was rotary drill, it would have occupied the volume of the borehole.
But knowing very little about geological drilling, I admit that I could be entirely wrong in my reasoning
fsck that!
Onto next ritual:
1. Count glancing people.
2. ???
3. Profit
