Oop, this was my comment, not sure why the "post anonymously" button was checked. -pwnies

New dists are nice if your target market is going to be primarily running your product as a live cd. While I agree with you in most cases, I can see why they'd chose to go for a separate distribution.

Did you just link to an Engadget story which links back to /.?

He makes a good point here - one of the sole reasons why I'm a linux guy today is because the college that I went to (Loyola Marymount University) had a strong FOSS ideology in their computer science department. Had I been exposed to any line of Microsoft products during that time, I'd venture to say that I'd be a MS guy today. College students, despite their outcry to be individuals and unique, are very easy to be moulded into the product of your choice.

TeX 3.15 will get released. Subsequently, the universe will collapse.

It sounds like the web-app you're using isn't coded well. Hate to put it that way, but if you're having this many problems with it, it's probably true. As for browsers to use - just switch until you find one that works. Try each of the rendering engines and browsers that use them (trident, webkit, gecko, presto, etc). Find one that works, use that.
Next time around though, write the app better. Export to PDF/PS if you need formatting to be absolutely preserved.

I'm a big fan of fountain pens (good feel while writing, better ink, more fun to doodle with when co-workers are rambling on and I have to look like I'm paying attention, etc), and as such I've found sketch pads to be the best note-taking paper. The main reason is that it absorbs ink much better - no more smudges on that nice shirt when you're drawing out ERD diagrams (or smurfs battling unicorns). It's generally archival quality too, which means 20 years down the road my old notes will still be in a usable state.

What about OSX86? Been running that for the last few months. It's fancy.

Just got the EVO today, and while it isn't as large as the Dell Streak, it is significantly larger than most smartphones in its class. One of the things I noticed was that although it's a joy to type on, it isn't so nice holding it up to your ear. It feels bulky holding it up against your head - however I can still use a headset and keep the device in my pocket. The significantly larger size of Dell means that a.) I wont be able to keep it up to my head without it feeling awkward, and b.) I wont be able to keep it in my pocket and use a headset. I can't see a reason to want a device of this size. It's at the perfectly wrong size, in fact.

What part of "Don't admit to knowing anything" is confusing you. If you tell them the time of day, they'll know that you know. Now they have the upper hand!

As a theistic evolutionist myself, I can hopefully answer this for you. The problem doesn't lie in the compatibility of the two theories at all - each of them can easily co-exist. The problem is the clash of the culture that each carries. Many fundamentalists (and less extreme sects of Christianity [and possibly other religions, but I only have an authority to give an opinion here]) were brought up with a culture that ostracized evolution and the science behind it. They blindly accept that it's a theory that combats their theory of origins, without ever actually looking at the theory itself. I know from my personal experience, it was a good twelve years from the time I was introduced to the concept of evolution to the time I finally asked myself if it was compatible with Christian doctrine. Myself and those around me took it as a mathematician would take a axiom - without introspection because in the given paradigm it would "make sense". Granted, this was false logic in our case because of the propaganda of Christian culture. Note that I don't use the term propaganda here in a negative context - it has its place in the religion and would be worse off without it (but that's a discussion for another time).
TL;DR - the logic in each is compatible, but the cultures aren't.

Works here as well. 5.0.342.5 dev running on Ubuntu.
