I guess I was lucky. I was able to see one at the Corbett reserve in Ramnagar last year (there aren't too many and they're very people-shy- I was there three days, went all over the park and only saw one). Sounds like with the typical poor governance/law enforcement and general bad management in India the poachers are having a field day. Who knows how many more years anybody will be able to find a tiger in a tiger park in India?
How does it take a "high level of experience with... Linux" to know about sudo? If you open a terminal on a Linux system these days you probably have encountered sudo.
Or she could be unwilling to admit that her daughter got knocked up by some random guy she'll never see again on vacation. Race doesn't enter into everything. Anyways, who's to say it was an Egyptian what did it? Tourists tend to congregate in the same touristy places, and they tend to only see locals in their capacity as tour guides and hotel staff. It could've been someone of any nationality, really.
So why did he wait until years after the war and until he was being actively persecuted for his homosexuality with forced chemical castration and all that? If being sent to boys' schools was bothering him then you'd think he'd be at his highest risk for suicide while it was happening. If I were in his shoes, I would have heaved a sigh of relief and moved on once the government stopped sending me round to the boys' schools.
And wasn't his involvement at Bletchley Park extraordinarily classified, seeing as how it yielded highly-sensitive information about German movements? Why would they send someone like that around to the boys' schools as opposed to like a military officer? That would have been a rather short speech, wouldn't it? "Hello children, I can't tell you my name and I do something, somewhere that's extremely classified and would be of great interest to the Germans. Chin up!" I think a man in uniform would fit then-current British standards of inspiringness better than a mysterious mathematician, anyway, and I imagine the less he was exposed to the public eye the happier the Allies would have been.
Your story has holes and attempts to answer a question whose answer was already well-known. I don't buy it.
To be fair you're comparing apples to oranges. iPhoto is primarily a photo-management application; it's in the same category as Picasa or F-Spot, not GIMP. It does have photo-editing abilities but by their extremely-limited nature it should be obvious that that's not its primary intended use and that those are there for quick, simple touch-ups. It would be better to compare GIMP to Photoshop or Aperture, or iPhoto to Picasa or F-Spot.
Mac OS X can be better or worse than other Unices but first you need to get your comparisons right!
According to the fine article there's an opt-out button on the page you get redirected to so I'm not certain that would be necessary:
We also understand that sometimes customers want to surf their own way, without the assistance of services like Domain Helper, so we offer an easy way to opt-out right on the Domain Helper search page.
Isn't there also the case of binary-only support being a hurdle? I know you can run 32-bit executables just fine but how about hardware whose only support in Linux is binary blobs? (Can't name any off the top of my head but I'm sure there's some out there) Also, isn't the 64-bit Flash plugin still in alpha? It's been a while since I looked at 64-bit so I might be wrong, I dunno.
Architecture support is a bit of a moot question in the case of 64bit hardware however because very few people actually use their 64-bit hardware to run a 64-bit operating system. Most people (myself included) just install the vanilla x86_32 operating system of their choice on their 64-bit hardware.
Yeah, watching that trailer my first response is "wow, they're douchefucks for doing that to someone over some media."
Don't copy that floppy was funny and appealed to your sense of right and wrong/interest in supporting content creators so they'll be around to produce more good stuff. This just sounds like trying to scare people into line. Which can work, but it does rather rob you of any moral high ground when your argument is "or we'll fuck you up, put you in prison, and go after your family."
Since arteries feed into veins I suppose an arterial blockage could cause problems in veins. But I think it's just a bad summary and when the author wrote "veins" they probably meant vessels in general.
Porn for medical purposes:
Photographs of a woman's breasts with say lines drawn on it indicating where they plan on cutting to remove the breast cancer.
Any medical book.
It's not that hard to understand.
It is once you realize that any image of someone naked is not pornography.
Yeah, but those people are stupid. They would pay an easy $10 in gasoline, public transportation and possibly a library membership to go to the library and read the Anne Rice book, when could have just gone to Amazon.com and bought the thing and had it delivered to your doorstep.
I think your statement is stupid. If I didn't have a bus pass the total cost to me of going to the library would be 75 cents per trip. Since I do have a bus pass it's not even that much; I ride the bus so often that the cost per trip is probably closer to a quarter for me. I don't know about you, but I would be very hard-pressed to find a book whose total cost- including shipping- was 25 cents on Amazon and arrived at my house an hour after I decided I wanted a book. I think it would be pretty difficult to do that for 75 cents, as well. Additionally, when I go to the library I don't have to scour their catalog looking for such a book like I would have to do for Amazon.
Just because in your particular circumstances, it may be more cost-effective to buy from Amazon in general doesn't mean that the people for whom the library does work are stupid.
And if you're paying $10 in gas every trip you make I'd consider getting a hybrid.
Geez, can't people even be bothered to read the summary anymore? From the summary:
Phase 1 human trials will check the safety of the vaccine on HIV positive volunteers.
Presumably this is a therapeutic vaccine intended to equip the immune system to fight HIV before it trashes your immune system irreparably. I didn't bother to read the article (but I was able to finish the summary) so I wouldn't really know.
If you have AIDS you're probably better-educated about your syndrome than your average bear.
I find it highly improbably that anyone could confuse AIDS and HIV that badly; I was educated on the difference in middle school as part and parcel of the health curriculum.
That may or may not have been reported elsewhere but in the linked NYTimes article it doesn't say that. All it says is that they didn't want to lend the Taliban any publicity or give them leverage by letting it loose to the media. Way I see it, since this is a story about them censoring a story, in the simplest terms possible, when it all came out they would want the whole thing to reflect as well on them as it possibly could. If the Taliban had made such a threat I would have expected to see it reported in their own coverage.
I don't know for sure, of course, because I don't really care enough to find another article about it, and the Times could easily have just fucked up their own reporting.
The first humans to erect a "building" that lasted until today ? Europeans, not much known about them. Only a tiny minority of current Europeans is related to them (they were not Indo-Europeans).
I'm pretty sure that people came up with the idea of living in stone/brick/mud housing on every continent. And it's nothing special to erect a building that will last in some way; that's what was going on in most of the Middle East for thousands of years before most of it became civilized. What's really cool are that the really old cities (not counting the other civilizations I mentioned; Delhi's pretty old, too) like Uruk, Jericho, and Damascus all are in the Middle East.
Oh, and because I suck and didn't qualify this properly: The actual establishment and early development of Egypt's civilization was independent; its later history (Hittites onward or so) is actually pretty entangled with the rest of the Middle East.

Weird. I went to their website and thought for certain I saw a pricetag on it.
Chill out, dude. He was just asking a question. There's no need to jump all over him.
Wait, why did you discount the iMac? It's still a desktop, isn't it?
How does it take a "high level of experience with... Linux" to know about sudo? If you open a terminal on a Linux system these days you probably have encountered sudo.
Daemon tools is also not free, which would place it under the "pay $XX" option.

What's the big problem?

2 of them, actually. He's got a lot of books to read!

So it'll be about a war in Flatland?

Microsoft expects people to pay for Windows?
