Quoting from the article
"...we're proud to support this strong, transparent research"
Implying that the original research by NASA and NOAA and other agencies world wide, and published in peer reviewed journals and subject to international critique was not strong and transparent?? Be honest Kochies, you just wanted a different answer.

HDMI one end, USB the other for keyboard. How is it going to connect to the web? Maybe you can chain a USB-ethernet connection through the keyboard.

An anonymous reader writes "So, he or she has cheated on you for the umpteenth time and their only excuse is: 'I just can't help it.' According to researchers at Binghamton University, they may be right. The propensity for infidelity could very well be in their DNA. In a first of its kind study, a team of investigators led by Justin Garcia, a SUNY Doctoral Diversity Fellow in the laboratory of evolutionary anthropology and health at Binghamton University, State University of New York, has taken a broad look at sexual behavior, matching choices with genes and has come up with a new theory on what makes humans 'tick' when it comes to sexual activity. The biggest culprit seems to be the dopamine receptor D4 polymorphism, or DRD4 gene. Already linked to sensation-seeking behavior such as alcohol use and gambling, DRD4 is known to influence the brain's chemistry and subsequently, an individual's behavior."

afabbro writes "Capsule Hotel Shinjuku 510 once offered a night’s refuge to salarymen who had missed the last train home. Now with Japan enduring its worst recession since World War II, it is becoming an affordable option for people with nowhere else to go. The Hotel 510’s capsules are only 6 1/2 feet long by 5 feet wide. Guests must keep possessions, like shirts and shaving cream, in lockers outside of the capsules. Atsushi Nakanishi, jobless since Christmas says, 'It’s just a place to crawl into and sleep. You get used to it.'”

You say women have it worse, so you are not complaining? But the sentence above is a long list of your complaints.
Hey I agree with you, sexism anywhere is only unproductive and goes against the ethos of FOSS - but those two sentences in the middle of your post has such sharp hypocrisy, it cut me in half.
Just because you are a boy, you don't have to belittle the prejudice you have suffered so the girls can look more important. It sux you have been slandered for defending women - complain about it!

I bet he designed and built this while working late at night drinking copious amounts of coffee or caffeinated beverages.
I wonder why he needed to take such drastic measures to get out of bed?

Mac OSX might be more secure than windows and may be easier for non technical people (if the TGIE is lacking expertise) to get up and running.
Alternatively, use openBSD - quite hard to get fully functional, but the expertise to get it there means anyone who does should have requisite skills to keep the Tibetan Government safe from certain foreign governments. Also, you may find the openBSD people will gladly help with this poltical agenda.
