See, if your mother in law had just typed up the resume in Latex in the first place, you wouldn't be having these font problems.
I tried Office 2007, couldn't find the print button (oh, so that's what the big colorful logo in the corner is for, its a button). Luckily, Ctrl-P still works.
If someone followed me around saying untrue things about me, I'd get a restraining order. I wonder if Redhat can do the same. Treat Ballmer like the drunken ex-husband he resembles.
I think most conversations about Yes and The Greatest Band Ever go like this:
Some Quack: "Isn't Yes the greatest band ever?!?!?"
Poor Dude: "Yes?"
Some Quack: "Exactly! They're so great. Lets go smoke something"
It really is an unfair name for a band.
If you think this is off-topic, then you're taking a thread about someone saying someone else is cheating gullible idiots out of their money way to seriously.
The 'install to a file' part is specific to Wubi. I'd heard before that Debian's win32-loader can't do this, but I've never used it. Wubi certainly does work that way however.
I haven't used goodbye-microsoft, but Wubi (which is supposedly based on it) does the same for Ubuntu. It works by installing Ubuntu to a file on the Windows partition. So not only do you not lose your Windows files, you don't even have to perform a relatively risky partitioning. It also leaves the windows boot loader in place and chain-loads grub o you don't have the "Ahh, how do I remove grub!!!!" questions.
Its not the best way to run Linux, but it is a very safe way and faster and more permanent than a LiveCD.
The GP facetiously (I hope) mentioned overclocking. I responded facetiously in turn. As a differential amplifier however, it does need at least 2 transistors (and 3 resistors) for a very very basic and crappy amplifier. Those transistors and amplifiers will need to be connected. They will also need to be connected to whatever leads there are to the outside world. For such a simple circuit, the price of using relatively resistive interconnects such as doped Poly-SiC is relatively small. In a microprocessor it would be very very high.
Tungsten probably would work, but most metals used in ICs start to react chemically with their surroundings when the temp is over 450C or so.
Unfortunately, the metal interconnects would probably melt. They're probably doing all of the interconnects with doped carbide, making this chip very slow (or power hungry).
Its a shame when your CPU starts dripping metal from running folding@home.
I think GEB is a little beyond the attention span of almost all middle school students (or high school students, or college students or pretty much anyone). Your one sentence summary covers most of the thousand or so page book.
The research insurer can just collect a mandatory fee from all of the other corporations and spend the money for research, giving out the knowledge for everyone to share. Er, wait. Switch 'mandatory fee' with 'tax' and you have government.
If someone can steal a swimming pool full of water out of a backyard, one big rock out of a mostly ignored storage yard should be pretty easy.

You can't complain about most of the Linux stories being worthless, when some many Slashdot stories in general are worthless. Welcome to the new vaporware, wonder drug, laws-of-physics breaking device, imaginary problem, or developer bickering of the hour. One doesn't read Slashdot for the quality of the stories, but to avoid doing other things.
Aside from the earlier comment that the difference in taxes isn't going to exclusively to health care, where do you find a $40 a month health insurance plan? I've seen plans for $480 a month but not $40.
Which is why the ACLU needs to bring this case. Not to banish the system but to make sure it is used in sensible ways. The benefit of a database of where every car has been and when is probably outweighed by the impediment to privacy. The advantage of catching many felons and recovering stolen cars probably outweighs the very minor risk posed by an opt-in or warrant-required system. The political and legal system in the United States pretty much dictates that this question needs to be resolved in the courts, and this is why the ACLU exists.
Actually, you should have an expectation of privacy when traveling. We have the right to travel freely within the country and this system could be easily be used to hinder that. That said, there is a fairly simple solution to this which is already built into the legal system. Have the scanners only register license plates that are flagged in the system. Flagging a plate should require a warrant or request from the car's owner. No other information from unflagged plates is saved.
Rather then rushing to the left or right, lets find a way to use new technology to preserve our rights and privacy while improving the efficiency of law enforcement.
Most schools are run by morons who hire morons to run the computers. That said, my Mom's school (where I went back in the old old days and I generally deplore), is switching to OpenOffice and GIMP, running on windows. They even give the teachers lessons on using gimp to crop and perform basic editing tasks on pictures. They must've gotten lucky and hired someone with a few more brain cells.
My Mom is happy, she's been using OpenOffice at home for a few years now, in Linux, and GIMP was already installed.
Actually, there really is a gigantic room at CERN full of commodity PCs that form the first level of computing for the different experiments. The data is then shipped off to sites around the world for further processing. There is a combination of 'locally' distributed computing and world-wide grid being used.
So just remember to select different passwords for websites that might allow users to insert Javascript code on the site. So it doesn't matter that much if they manage to steal your passwords. I use the same crappy password on a whole bunch of sites. If someone steals it, they can deface my Facebook page, use my nick on IRC, post on Slashdot under my name. Who knows, it might get modded up for once. There are a limited number of nonguessable, easy to remember passwords in my life, I won't waste them on wikis, forums, and myspace.
My bank, bills and credit card each have their own password and username however. As do my computer and email.
So if we don't believe you, we should believe another yahoo on Slashdot? It is really the debate of 'trickle down' economics again, which helps the wealthy and keeps the poor where they belong. Poor.
I've broken a few wood handled shovels, but my plastic shovel and maul are perfectly happy. As the wood ages it drys and becomes brittle. It takes effort to keep a wood handled shovel in working condition for 50 years. The new plastic handles are virtually unbreakable and maintenance free. So aside from decomposition of the plastic by UV or the blade rusting away (you still need to oil it), that shovel could last forever (which is why I got mine from an estate sale).
Also, I love my cast iron skillet, but bacon is better when cooked in the oven. And my anodized aluminum wok is scratch proof and much easier to clean.
It should be obvious that any scientist would prefer their name to be the first and only name on some seminal paper. The only reason then to include 609 other people in the list is that you truly value their contribution and you need them to maintain there commitment to the project. You need scientists to do work that doesn't directly provide this kind of high profile paper, if the primary authors didn't acknowledge their contribution the rug would be pulled out from underneath them.
And yes, it does take that many people to make this kind of discovery. Which is why I, and many others, are not interested in working in HEP long term. Come on, I read slashdot, obviously I don't like people.

I tested Wubi (similar, but for Ubuntu) in a VM running on an Ubuntu server. Worked great. Pointless, but great.

Not many teachers would survive multiple children in their class emulating Dick Feynman.
Because our stupid football team is too cocky to take them seriously.
