it's unknown whether or not his delaying the surgery lead to his death.

It's not a matter of too soon, it's a matter of we don't know what ultimately did him in. We don't know if it metastasized or if something else was going on.

Well, I believe he had expressed regret about taking time off pursuing alternative medicine. (Heard it from someone who heard it from someone, take with a grain of salt, confirm yourself. But it fits with someone going to alternative medicine and then returning to modern medicine.)

Says so in his official Biography.

Only if you distribute binaries, which Google never did.

You could probably argue this point either way. Samsung may have physically made the phones but the Nexus series phones are Google branded and ship with Google's Android binaries. [...]

And there has never been a Honey Comb for any Nexus device so far, so what's the point?

Since they quit using the way we used to mount drives, I don't know what drive is what any more. I know that all my drives have long ass character strings, but I don't even know how to get a list of drives any more as "sudo mount" doesn't do shit.

Not sure if you're referring to UUIDs, but a ls -Al /dev/disk/by-uuid should take care of that... shouldn't it? Been a while since I've used Ubuntu, but Debian lists all devices by UUID this way.

MC Hammer Launches a Search Engine Screenshot-sm 124

MC Hammer was among tech entrepreneurs announcing new products at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco. The rapper's product is a new search engine called WireDoo. Sadly, it is not an index of things you can't touch, but instead a search engine focusing on relational items. Searching for the word "car" will bring up topics related to a car, like insurance, pricing and safety ratings. WireDoo is still being built and not available to the public yet.

complete with speaking in tongues. This was in a public school in Georgia, mind you.

Just read up on "speaking in tongues" at Wikipedia and, boy, my mind is blown! Really??? This person really muttered idiotic, incoherent syllables and wasn't fired/institutionalized on the spot, but did so regularly, in public? I'm still trying to wrap my mind around that. Wow, just wow. I don't get how someone that insane can be seen fit to teach children.

Exactly what I thought after having read the first page, didn't bother clicking through to the second. That guy is using GMail, he should just start to familiarize himself with its features and he'd have a lot less stuff to read. Auto-mark-as-read-and-tag for messages coming from Facebook and Twitter, anything containing the word "Newsletter" or "Press Release", that sounds like the solution to his problem. If he's filtering manually he's doing it wrong.

As has been noted, nuclear systems are quite safe compared to bean sprouts

Since nobody has posted numbers yet: 36 people have been killed by that E.Coli outbreak in Germany so far. Are you seriously suggesting that less people died after the Chernobyl meltdown?
