I've submitted news to/. about Russian schools consider switching to ALTLinux a long before, i think it was after Microsoft sued the high-school teacher for pirated copy of windows xp.
I'm not a standards guy neither a game developer, but I'd propose something based on other standards, like XMPP for messaging, connectivity, chat and X3D for virtual world 3D models.
Hey that's not a problem. If they can add Operating System to game, adding text editor, irc client features wouldn't be that hard. So only thing we'll miss in our games is e-mail client!
Btw, i don't get it, why don't they develop games on emacs?
Damn it, it is broken?! I want to benefit from this Advantage program! They should open source WGA. Bugs would be fixed immediately by volunteers, so we can enjoy it without problems!
I'm switching to Linux Genuine Advantage(TM), guys. It is better and open-source!
I would have thought that "enhanced" security was a sensible default, silly me. It's not underlined, so you don't know it is a link until you hover your mouse over it, but it will take you to a https:/// [https] page. I clicked that link, it sends to http://mail.live.com/default.aspx&id=64855&bk=2752 0536 and guess what?
404 - The page cannot be found. lol
but not everybody who can benefit from this great resource has an Internet connection like ours.
I think you know there are some countries with limited internet connection like dial-up only as an option, expensive internet cafes and all of them under strict control.
He took box made of glass and filled it with oil. Then he put motherboard inside that oil box, removing all fans from the board.
I was not interested much about it at that time, AFAIK project was built for some kind of science fair.
I don't remember exactly where power supply was, inside or outside. Does power supply without fan will work inside oil filled box?
Seems like it would be a better process to work in your desired field for a few years, then go for the degree. We tried this, and it does not work.
Few years ago, education system in our country changed. Students after graduating from high school had to work for 2 years in order to be eligible for college application. Exteremely low rate of students getting job without degree resulted to de-motivation of high-schoolers. Who would want to study if you're not eligible for college application and it's so hard to get job?
Thank god they removed that restriction this year.

Sergey Brin is going to marry Anne, co-foundeer of 23andMe. Today read about it somewhere, but forgot where the article was from..
Just want to know if we are alone who organized a party and haven't got them.
This is all nice, but we're running out of chairs now!
So computers started to give commands to the security forces?

Global virtual world somehow reminds me "The Matrix"...
Then they should come up with some standard way of compressing XML first.
Others will benefit from this as well, for example ODF uses Zip, AFAIK.

How is this different from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc?

I couldn't RTFA (slashdotted??), but, from what you describe, it seems it is shortest path problem, not TSP.
Shortest path is about finding shortest route between two nodes in graph, wihle TSP is about traveling each node exactly once with minimum cost.
Digg censored this number. Then it was re-posted and hit #3 in top list with more than 15000 Diggs. Digg removed it again. See it yourself http://digg.com/linux_unix/Spread_This_Number_Agai n

+1 troll to headline? oh I thought it was -1.

Now does it mean that I can improve my karma by trolling?

Can we tag this article "metoo"?
I use MyPortal - nice Firefox add-on.
I submitted link to Paul Graham's new essay on startups, but probably it is not home page worthy story so I'll write it here again.
A bit off-topic but worth having look at it.
Why Not Not Start a Startup?
http://paulgraham.com/notnot.html
(March 2007)
He discusses about reasons why people don't start a startup and tries to explain that most of those reasons should be ignored.
I haven't seen it yet, but I'm sure it will be #1 when released!
sorry, couldn't resist.
Lack of Lisp and Logo in the List of Languages that Language Learner has Learned is Lame! :)

Does anyone know the correct link?
