Yup, but make sure you abort the upload before it's complete. Concatenate the data twice, make sure the file has a.rar extension, and soon a dozen copies will be online but no download will ever finish. Bonus points for ed2k and Freenet.
I just went back to KDE after Gnome3 made me use XFCE, but I ran into a couple of showstopper bugs with XFCE. KDE isn't too bad these days. It's also much faster than XFCE on my Nvidia desktop as well as the Sandy Bridge laptop, both running Wheezy. I'm even thinking of installing CentOS instead of Debian for its Gnome2 UI in the future.
Even if you don't formally use much math you do it instinctively all day in your work and everyday life. I often have to shake my hat at people who simply don't "get" some simple facts of life because they don't have the "feel" for the underlying math. Just simple facts of exponentials, orders of magnitude, statistics, linear vs nonlinear behavior of systems, basic calculus etc.
It takes a couple of centuries for an ecosystem to adapt, to build soil for example. Even if you had tropical temperatures in Greenland today it'd all be just rubble.
That was probably in the US of A, where nobody gives a shit about correct units because there are so many weird ones and nobody understands physics or math anyway. I grew up and studied in SI land.
There's a scientifically/technically "correct" and a "correct" in layman's terms. "Mega" is is defined by SI as 1E6 independent of the unit that follows it.
Wrong. 1 MB = 1/1000 GB. 1 MiB = 1/1024 GiB. My first semester CS prof told everybody *never* to call a "binary" MB (Mebibyte hadn't been coined back then) a "megabyte." He said, call it a "meg" or a "em bee" but "megabyte" is wrong. Oh and that was in '78.
I'm sure that with just a little support from the manufacturer Canonical will be happy to make Ubuntu run well on their machines. While OTOH right now I'm trying to make this TimeLineX behave. There's some very good deals on Sandy Bridge TimeLineX out there at WalMart, TigerDirect and probably all the other usual suspects too. They're probably cleaning out inventory to launch Ivy Bridge. I was looking to replace a netbook but found that real 14" SB laptops are about the same price and generally cheaper than anything except crappy Atoms. I was thinking about a 12" AMD E-series but they're much more expensive.
You may want to check a physicists's view on energy instead of looking for pink unicorns (as conservatives and libertarians are wont to). http://physics.ucsd.edu/do-the-math/
That's what I thought too. Putting chroot management on top of Debian stable to run other newfangled stuff or stuff from other distros without messing up the main OS sounds very promising. And once you don't need it any more, rm -rf. Done.
Yes! When can I buy those X-ray glasses that were advertised all over the place in the SciFi pulps? I never ordered one because I knew enough about science that it must be a scam, but now we can finally do it!

As long as there's Kubuntu and Xubuntu they can do whatever the hell they like. I haven't touched standard Ubuntu since Lucid.

Hasta la Metro, baby.

Only 500 years!
Show me a civilization that lasted that long.
How is RAID related to trigonometry?

You mean, the worldview of your wallet?
Sorry, coffee is one of the plants severely affected by global warming.

Yeah. Unless we break the PETM global average, this is really "Meh!"

I'd call that CS 101 not pedantry.

That's mutual. Pro-AGW posts often get modded down for no reason too.
And the only rational solution, which is why it's so violently opposed.

Mod parent up. That's exactly the problem.

Yeah, especially people in Sudan and Ethiopia.
