Webserver? Ubuntu is a DESKTOP system. It doesn't have server install wizards. If you want advanced wizards, then you need a full featured Linux distribution like Mandriva or Suse.
Not to mention that hitting a satellite would just be a bug splat on the asteroid's windshield - it won't make any difference at all.
My guess is that this German article was published on 1 April.
I always click everything with wild abandon. That is what web browsers are for. If you can't click on everything and anything, then something is broken and needs fixing.
First of all, the US polution requirements rules out the use of diesel engines in cars. While the majority of European cars are now diesel, the only way to get one in the US is to buy a huge honking truck.
For petrol engines, the emissions requirements need a lower temperature burn, which is inefficient. Inefficient, means more petrol.
Hi PhD EE: The *only* places that hire PhD EEs are aerospace defence firms and universities. If you wish to work anywhere else, then you need to lose that PhD from your resume. You could also try The Ladders and do pay someone at The Ladders $300 to write your resume for you.
Nothing short of a miracle can improve Windows. Having more, inexperienced minimum wage programmers ain't going to help.
The bottom line is that programmers don't *want* to work at Microsoft. They have 10,000 open positions at any given time. Ten thousand! It says something about a company when programmers would choose to be unemployed rather than work there and the only way they can anybody at all is through indentured slave visas.
Medical care has advanced to the ridiculous point where a body can be kept 'alive' for years with no hope of any real recovery. Consequently many people opt for suicide as the only way to avoid being indefinitely tortured and tied to a bed with a bunch of hoses like Ariel Sharon in Israel.
For myself, apart from the good old.45 Special, I'll make sure to retire in a little fishing village with no doctor within a few hundred miles.
Lately, with the crash of the US Dollar, Canadians are buying up US companies. So it was surprising that this deal was still on the table. Of course, being aerospace/defence related, it is heavily 'subsidized' by government contracts, so selling an asset that was built up with tax payer money to the US would be rather silly for Canada.
Microsoft added spaces in system directories to annoy users too I'm sure and specially neglected to make links to network folders work with spaces and left it like that for the past 13 years, to ensure that you cannot copy and paste a spacy network path from Windows Explorer into Outlook and email it to someone else in the company. All that only to annoy their users...
In Canada, you can place a sticker with the words "No Junk Mail" on the inside of the door of your mail box and then you won't get any. That doesn't work with email.
Electricity use for lighting in North America is only about 1% of the total. Most electricity is used by heavy industry, steel mills, aluminium smelters and the like. So even if all tungsten bulbs are replaced with twirly-whirlies, it will make practically no difference. In a large office building, most lights are fluorescent already and the cost of adding more light switches outweighs any energy savings. Also, lights (even fluorescents) produce mostly heat and little light. In areas where buildings need to be heated most of the year, turning the lights off do nothing to the overall energy bill.
Even in my home, if I turn all the ligths off, I use less electricity made with hydro/nuclear/wind power and more natural gas in the furnace, so overall turning the lights off generates more smoke than leaving them on.
Each year, during the daylight savings changes, the energy companies declare that they noticed no difference whatsoever in electricity use - that should be a clue.
Since traffic cannot go to these black holes, I don't think it matters. A white hole, constantly spewing out crap (spammer) is a real problem, but a dead machine doesn't matter.
Hmm, though in many really sad parts of the world your *life* is worth less than 50c, so you are still doing fine. At least you have both a bank account and your life.
The shale oil is a well known deposit and there are many wells presently exploiting it. The trouble with it though is a low flow rate. Therefore horizontal wells, steam injection and pressurized gas are needed to get the oil out, which makes it expensive and dangerous. In contrast, the tar sands lie on the surface, so it can be scooped up easily and safely. The Alberta tar sands project is the world's largest environmental clean-up operation...

Apparently Asus, HP, Dell and millions of happy users all agree...
I think that Caucasians have lots of Neanderthal genes. We are so big and bulky compared to other regions...
Being outside the state, Amazon can safely ignore that law - it is unenforceable, which is legal speak for bullshit.

You may be missing the bigger picture. I would assume that your systems have multiple layers of security, so things are never simple.

OK, you may need more electricity to drive the laser than one can get from a discharge, but how about harvesting the clouds?

It is GPL. You can doewnload it and change the name to anything you want.
One of those plus a cash drawer. Is it really so difficult to search Sourceforge?

Russians are good at hyperbole and Americans are good at falling for it.
The police has been using helicopters for years.
