In other news, ISO has approved the new standard value of Pi. It is now to be valued at 4. Various industries have said that this move will make them spend less to fulfill their orders, in particular when products are bought by area.
Nobody should care what ISO says anymore. News at 11.
Fellow uruguayan here... I've heard the same story (from people that attended the votation).
So, what shall we conclude? That ISO isn't a relevant entity. This votation has shown that it's corrupt in many countries, and incompetent in others. Why should the other standards that have been aproved in the past be any more "respectable"? Couldn't they also been approved out of corruption or incompetence?
And even if in the end it doesn't get approved, you can't ignore what has happened. I don't know about you, but I will not hold ISO in high regard anymore.
You know, I just woke up, fell out of bed. And red this news. It's like they say, tomorrow never knows. But, please, Don't let me down! Let they be good quality mp3s, or even better, oggs! Don't ask me why, but I guess they did it now because we never gave them our money. I can't wait, though I know It won't be long, yeah! yeah!
That said - my acer laptop has a brushed aluminum finish and has the same problem *if* I don't plug it into a grounded wall outlet (as it currently isn't). It doesn't feel so much like a jolt or a tingle, however, as that the surface feels strange.. almost like it's vibrating at a high frequency; but only when touched very, very lightly.. a firm touch increases contact area and away goes that odd feel. Indeed, my acer laptop (travelmate 4060) feels the same way. Even when plugged in a grounded outlet it has this strange vibrating feeling you describe. I wonder what's going on...
A bit offtopic, but you mention you tried Octave. I myself use Scilab, but never have tried Octave. I've skimmed the docs and they seem very similar. Can someone elaborate on the differences between them? Which one is better?

Let me recommmend you Maxima http://maxima.sourceforge.net/ It's a GPL Computer Algebra System and it's in active development. I use it all the time.
Isn't NTLM cracked (by brute force) already? I have used ophcrack against my systems and it got the password quite quickly (10 min in one case, 20 in other). Sure, building the tables probably took more than a few minutes, but it's do-once-crack-everything.
At my University, they have USB mouses and frozen (ie: no changes saved on reboot) Windows. Every time you boot those things you have to wait 10-20 seconds before Windows realizes that thingie you plugged in USB is a mouse and configures it. So, instant usb mouse recognition? Wow!
I'm not entirely sure, but I think Windows takes its time too if you plug and unplug the mouse (I'm thinking of laptops).
It's a kinda boring game, always wins the same person... We newbies have to make our own game, like, "Who's got the closest ID to RNDNUMBER?". At least we all get a fighting chance. Let me get my 6 digits dice (many many faces). Roll... Who's got the closest ID to 979792?

Let's make a new and smaller browser, based on the same rendering engine! We'll call it Phoenix or something like that. You know, like it's brand new! It comes from the ashes, it must be good! And we won't bloat it, no, no. We'll make it speedy!

Indeed, Screen is the way to go for text.

I don't know about OASIS, but W3C applies only to web standards. That's a very narrow standards body.

"that GNU/Linux is actually more than a competitor to MS in the niche hacker/power user arena. It is in fact quite usable and *CAN* replace Windows."
That's what a person with a Windows background would think. Actually, the hacker niche has always preferred Linux (or other unixes).
Maybe that this post is in the "Apple" category? I find it mildly amusing that the names collide.
Listen, do you want to know a secret?

In Spanish we say that a device has "tierra" (direct translation: "earth").

Does anybody have experience with both? Care to comment the differences? I tried both and couldn't notice.
Only that one was funny. This one isn't.

Ceiling lamps are the norm here too. Having to use normal lamps to light a room seems very strange to me.
Or Flac maybe?

What are you saying? Can't you see it's excellent backward compatibility? It plays Mp3 like you were on your old 386! How more backward can that be?
Skip-free audio? Does your audio skip? You *seriously* need to upgrade that Pentium I, dude...

True
Serial and parallel ports are still used! They come in handy in electronics. They're easy to use and most programming languages support them.
