you can search by any of those items (and more) and you would rather sort??? What the hell good does sorting do? Surely you are looking for emails from 1 person, not a group of people with names starting with 'A', right??? Right, but I might be interested in searching for the biggest messages in my mailbox.
Ok, I cannot use soap. Is there some other way to get rid of the bacteria then? Frankly I don't thing simply drowning the keyboard into water will disinfect it.
Sure... you always start like that, and then one turn before the end you get the usual message "Cyrus of the Persian civilization has completed the Great Solar Power Plant. You cannot continue production of the Great Solar Power Plant in Ottawa. The production is converted to 256M$".
and I'm proud to have one of the most extensive Christian rock sections that I know of.
You mean that people are actually ripping and sharing Christian rock?? Thats just *sick*. Don't worry, they already know they will go to hell for that.
hmm... Maybe I am a bit out of date, but when I last checked the ID3 tags seemed to have too short a maximum length to be the Definitive Way(tm) to indexing music collections. Their maximum length was too short to hold long titles such as "It's the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine)", or even "What's the story (morning glory)".
Do you confirm it?
If I recall correctly, the proof that Penrose tiling is aperiodic depends on projection of a line marked out in intervals representing an irrational number onto a line marked out in uniform intervals
I think it is easier than that. Based on the costruction with the "deflation" rules, you can easily estimate that the ratio of the two kind of blocks is $\phi$, and since it is an irrational number the tiling can't be periodic. (if it were, this ratio would be the ratio of the number of blocks appearing in "one period" of the tiling, hence a rational number).
Pentaplex Ltd., a company in Yorkshire, England controlled by Penrose, owns the licensing rights to Penrose tilings. Penrose and Pentaplex filed a lawsuit against Kimberly-Clark for breach of copyright. Kimberly-Clark had allegedly embossed Penrose tilings on Kleenex quilted toilet paper in the UK. SCA Hygiene Products later came to control Kleenex products and reached an agreement with Penrose and Pentaplex on the Penrose tiling issue. SCA is not involved in the copyright dispute.
You should revise the subject a bit IMHO. For example, NP-complete does not mean "in the NP class"; (NP-)hard problems are a different class from both of the above; "non-polynomial" should read "tending to infinity faster than a polynomial" (even floor(n/2) is non-polynomial...)
I think Newton-Raphson on 1/sqrt picks up 5-6 bits each try in the line "x = x*(1.5f - xhalf*x*x)" No, it doesn't. Newton's method converges quadratically, so the number of correct bits doubles at each iteration.

Please stop whining, open up KDE control panel, select peripherals->mouse and click on "double click to open files and folders".
KDE can be configured, you know
Definitely, Trenitalia's (the Italian railroad system) one.
Their automated system generates a number of "solution" to go from station A to station B, and then only sells you ticket corresponding to the ones they have generated.
You are smarter than them and you have spotted a different (cheaper) train combo that would get you from A to B faster? No way, you can't have it. You go to the ticket office and talk to an employee? No way. They use the same software to sell you tickets, and there is no way to generate another "solution".
And oh, I forgot, the "solutions" generated by their software always include the most expensive trains...

Well, Konqueror already comes with it -- as well as tabs, Acid2 compliance and integration with KDE's bittorrent client. Haven't you forgotten a worthy competitor?
Here is a fast new algorithm to compress XML in such a way that browsing and searching the tree can be done without uncompressing it. This should make Word definitely faster when handling ODF.
I really think Microsoft should start implementing some of this stuff instead of whining and complaining.

Is that a buffer overflow?

yep, they are.
