I presume you're referring to the Ten Commandments here. So, just to point out, there is no commandment that says "Thou shalt not kill", the commandment is "Thou shalt not murder", which is significantly different.
Actually, the usual reason given for the lower funding for prostate cancers is that men, as a generalisation, are less willing to discuss the issues than women. Men tend to shy away from it, and thus it doesn't receive the same level of publicity, ergo not the same level of funding.
"Basically there are two switches, and they have to both be depressed within a certain interval in order to close the circuit (generally 0.5s or so)." You hit the first button with your good hand, and then you hit the second button with your good hand.
I think they were removed due to concerns about licensing, so I suspect unless the licences for the various clients are altered (or just their emoticons), we won't be getting them. It would be nice though, I agree.

I just want to agree completely with this post.
SPSS is the only reason I keep my windows disks around really. I don't keep windows installed as I don't use SPSS often, but I know that every so now and then I'm going to need to crunch numbers for a week in SPSS, and when I do so, I'll just install it in VMware. You're right about the alternatives though, there's nothing that comes close yet. I guess if I needed to use it more "professionally" I would learn to use R, but as you said, that's a big outlay of time for a low return.
Whilst you may have a point, there is nothing to stop you doing the same at the moment and just ringing up the police to report the robbery in progress. Whilst it's possible that the use of photos may increase prank calls, I'm not convinced by this (though I could of course be wrong).
I guess it depends if the purpose of publishing the bugs is to fix OS X, or whether it's to educate Apple users that just because you use OS X, you are not immune; it's possible (probable?) that somewhere on your system there will be vulnerabilities. I know as a Linux user I find it very easy to think "I don't need to be very aware of security because I use Linux". At minimum, it's a reminder that whilst OS X is more secure than Windows XP natively, it is not immune from vulnerabilities.
I'm not trying to be a troll here, though I may be modded as one. However, you said "Al Qaeda is pretty well funded", and I am curious as to how you know this. Obviously they are not submitting their financial records to the tax office on a yearly basis. I've also not seen any evidence of huge amounts of money in any Al Qaeda terrorist attack, though they will probably have many hidden expenses just to keep running. In as least troll-like way as possible, would you please give me some evidence to support your assertion? (I agreed with the rest of your post though. Paying in cash is something that would be done to preserve anonymity, something that any suicide bomber would not be too worried about as far as I can tell)
I'm not a Muslim, but I also realise that at the speed this tower is rotating their "aim" at Mecca cannot be more seriously affected than the inherent inaccuracy of pointing precisely toward Mecca usually. Also, why use an LED matrix display? Surely a compass would work just nicely?
As a student the price is only 14Euros (or US$14) for me. That seems pretty cheap, and almost worth paying just to try it out (if they didn't allow a free trial already!). As a student, if they can demonstrate the ability to reliably integrate with some kind of reference manager I'd buy it straight off (I've had problems with OpenOffice on this front before - though that could be due to failings on the part of the reference manager I was using: Bibus).
Whilst I agree that The West Wing is great, I think it's very much in the minority. The departure after series 4 of the star writer, Aaron Sorkin (sp?), also suggests an inability of TV executives to really capitalise on their best quality shows. To be honest, even living in the UK where we typically believe our television shows to be of a higher quality than in the US (and containing FAAAAR fewer adverts), I consider there to be so few TV shows worth watching that I'm not willing to pay for a TV licence and as such don't own a TV.
Even the summary of the article doesn't agree with the title of the article. Whilst I am of the opinion that mobile phones are safe, it is impossible to prove it. It is possible to demonstrate that it is almost certainly not the case, but it is impossible to demonstrate to a mathematical certainty that mobile phones (or any other treatment, e.g. medication, having blonde hair, being called Fred) is safe.
Whilst I see significant merits in this system, surely this discourages collaboration between workers? Perhaps in some environments this is not essential, but particularly in research environments the ability to collaborate with others is essential. If everyone else in your department is working midnight=>10am as their main time to get work done, and you choose to work during the day, it has to hamper your ability to get real-time feedback on queries you have? It would seem to me to be great in a company where each employer had a high degree of autonomy, but I don't see this being helpful in many of the environments that require high levels of collaboration.

If I recall correctly, that was an entry (winner?) in a "design the worst facebook page" competition.
Yes, but it was originally released as "linux".
At the time he said it, spam was already a problem to the average user in clogging up their inbox.
I think you might have just shifted some people into the Bleeding Edge category of users there...

I don't use WINE, but I'm 99.9% sure that none of the official Ubuntu release ship with WINE installed as part of the default install.

Oh, sorry; You are attacked by a flock of flying ducks.

How exactly do you 'leak' a public beta?
I'm not sure if you attempting a really subtle pun or not, but you meant "cite", which if you weren't attempting the pun, discredits you somewhat.

You had night? You lucky dog, we used to ooze around all day in the freezing cold dreaming about what it would be like to be able to leave work!
