Dude. I am from Tasmania (no there are no spinning devils, its out of season) and you are absolutely right. The whole Goverment is high.

Dead Slashdot. Please put the space back in between "anonymous coward" and "on" it is not posted by "anonymous cowardon at 12:00" damn fools!

I meant "knew so quick".

Ah I see what you are saying now, and you are rbarreira is probably right, it has given up. I thought that the input region saying it was a member meant it was true... Oh well, I did think it was pretty impressive that it new so quick!

That funny E sign means 'element of a set' and the set is defined by that funny P sign, which means all primes. This means that Wolfram is saying that 2^42643792 -1 is a member of the set of prime numbers. See also how they know it is a prime.

This gives you the number, keep hitting 'More digits'. Unfortunately it gives it as an image so I can't copy paste here.

Well I don't know why it took 29 days for the computer to tell him it was so, wolfram alpha told me it was prime in ~1 second.

On that note, I asked Wolfram the other day the tree in a forest thing and I finally have an answer!

HAHA! A new meme! Those kitten killers need to feel the wrath of angry mob 2.0! Instead of burning torches and pitchforks, we the angry mob 2.0 can wield flickr, twitter, youtube and /. at the naughty witching minorities!

It's funny. The US calls all their sports the 'world series' and shit. They only involve the US!!! HOW IS THAT THE WORLD??? The world cup soccer involves folks from all continents (even little Australia is in it again!) and world cup rugby most continents. These are sports with competitors from around the World not just all around the United States of America "world".

This is one of the reasons I don't travel by air much, the whole world-going-to-shit thing is exacerbated by the cheap air travel. If we want to live on this planet into the future we need to make a few concessions, at least until I can afford to fly more that is...

I take up your challenge:

Solution, go to canon website download .debs in a tar. Install and done.

I am actually too lazy to try DVB cards or wireless cards, but I have found the DVB cards work out of the box on Linux usually. My wireless card has given me problems but there are open source drivers which can be easily downloaded and compiled.

Case in point though. I have a USB webcam where the windows drivers have been lost, it works out of the box on ubuntu, you can not find the drivers anywhere for Windows though!

I noticed that google does give credit to ffmpeg on its "about" page, funnily enough I checked it out last night and clicked the ffmpeg link to read about what they had to say! So I think it is now included.

Even the comments below the linked article give a better summation of the current understanding than the article itself or the terrible summary. Start with an open mind, do your own research on the possibility of anthropogenic caused climate change, then give your background references and build your case. Don't just drop in with a single, poor quality article.

Read about global warming and climate change and look at current research, for example from my neck of the woods: the ACECRC work.

If you want you can ignore the science and believe whatever. But like your religion, I would prefer it if you kept it to yourself.

are a couple of dead giveaways. I know a guy at school (Pattie) who always checks folks laptops for recent documents. Very funny sometimes!
So my advice is to a) use a browser with 'incognito' or similar mode for 'privacy'.
Of course there is always having multiple user accounts! Ubuntu has a 'guest' account by default I understand. I usually have a "user" account on my laptop, no privelages, default browser etc.
