That would be a great feature, though given my history with upgrading Drupal, I am hesitant.

Looks neat, but can it run Linux?

To be fair, there are quite a lot of people who are scientifically minded who think just that. the fact that you don't agree doesn't mean they don't exist and since you are not the center of the universe, it also doesn't mean they're wrong just by virtue of agreeing with you. The earth doesn't need to be "good to us". What it needs to do is exactly what it does. it needs to behave like a giant organism and repair damage done to itself. Which is what the earth does when left to it's own devices. And since we are creatures that evolved to live here on earth when it's in good shape, that will suite us just fine. there doesn't need to be any candy-like feeling attached to it. Just an ounce of thought.

this. Include a copy of ubuntu and you're covered. Trust me, in 17 years she'll b able to find a computer that will run it. hell, if 17 years she'll probably be able to find someone still running windows 98. You overestimate progress. Put them on DVD and be done with it. the whole point of a time capsule is that it's old stuff. If I opened a time capsul from when i was born and it had CD's and flash drives, I'd feel cheated (and I'd wonder where they got those).

This. People who say there are no dumb questions have never worked in tech support. there are metric butt-tonnes of dumb questions. Mostly asked by dumb people in dumb ways.

Bah. Re-imaginings are great. If you handle it right. BSG did it fine. they took a series that only hardcore nerds cared about, but that most people remembered and made something new and excellent out of it. What you do not then do is re-imagine a series that just finished last year AGAIN in movie form. Bad idea.

Seriously? Windows on NUCLEAR submarines?! Okay, I know that the gubment isn't IT savy, but did they not stop to think that running an OS that any script kiddie can break with something they can double click off the net was a bad idea? I mean, screw the OS wars debate ... the fact is that windows can be broken by anyone almost accidentally. What the hell are they thinking?

it was coined by the same people that consider java "functional". They're from the society for creative definitions.

Also true. Pandora is actually fairly unique, really. there's not a whole lot of other good streaming music out there to compete.

the reason people on the net generally refuse to pay 0.99 for things (like porn sites) is not thrift, but fear. Usually, it's a scam. Pandora is not a scam, so I'll gladly pay.
