There are plenty of science labs, just not among short-sighted, quarterly profit-focused companies. Find a tech company that's in it for the long haul, and there you'll find CS jobs. There are also many government labs that that actively seek CSs.

It's under Sports Equipment or Recreactional Vehicles.

Fox News implies that it's news by running it on their FOX News channel at 5 pm, the time people get home from work and turn on the news.

I'm curious about where you got that definition for terrorist. I can't seem to find one that doesn't require the use of violence in coercion.

Out of curiosity, where did you get that definition of terrorism? All the definitions I found require violence as part of it.

Did it involve cruise control at any point? There was an article a while back about Woz saying he had found a specific software bug with the accelerator. According to him the NHTSA dragged their feet on investigating it. If I had one, I'd probably stick some DAQ hardware on the ECU buses to see if I could record the problem.

What was the nature of your experience with the car accelerating? Did it repeat it under similar or common set of circumstances? Did you find a cause for the unintended acceleration? Not trolling, just curious.

It's insane just to think that you actually need a car at home. After all, there are no roads inside your house.

I've got Ubuntu 10.10 on my Thinkpad X200 Tablet. It works pretty well, but not everything works perfectly. I've had every version of Ubuntu on it since 9.04, and some of the earlier ones actually seemed to work a little better. There are still a few kinks, though. Thankfully, sites like ThinkWiki exist to help with some of the problems.

I'm still having a few issues, though, such as the fingerprint scanner not working or when rotating the screen, the touch sensor doesn't translate its coordinates properly (so left-right becomes up-down when the screen is rotated 90 degrees). The mute button doesn't work properly either, but other than that it runs pretty well.

Considering how much better run the DMV and Post Office are today, and how much easier they are to deal with than Comcast or Verizon, I think I'd be okay with that.

Here's where Tetris flashbacks come from.

If a computer can be infected with a virus simply by plugging in a USB storage device, you're doing it wrong. The military needs to turn off Auto-Run (or any kind of execution privileges) for every one of their computers for external storage devices. This problem has been prevalent for 10 years and they still haven't fixed it.
