Lori Drew was convicted of computer fraud for using a false persona on MySpace, which she used to torment Megan Meier leading to Megan's suicide.
While I doubt your motives are as sinister, how far is that from what she was actually convicted of?

They are calling it 2.0 because they are trying to catch up to the version numbers of the other browsers.

This is too bad. I was hoping to construct a player computer keyboard to cut down on the repetitive and often difficult typing that I'm required to do for work :-(

Centralization can be considered the heart of release management, but not source code management.
Project lead gets to say what is a release. That release is from his own repository, and he decides what other changes from other repositories are in it.
It's a really easy way for someone play around with the project without bothering the project leadership with the changes unless they decide to share it.
When it is shared it's easy enough to ignore those changes or accept them.

The family was Middle Eastern, not black. Gah, does anyone actually read the articles?

I once realized that some people riding in my back seat weren't wearing their seat belts when I went over a steep hill faster than most people would (still within the speed limit, though). I heard people say "Ouch!", looked in the mirror, and saw them rubbing the tops of their heads.
Where your seat belts or I'll sling you 'round my car!

I thought that Apple would end up using Cell processors.

The low quality of his papers was obvious to me, and I only have a minor in Math. Even though I never read any until just now so I was looking for crack pottedness, I actually wondered if El Nachie may have incurred a brain injury or something. The presentation is pretty poor by academic standards.

Libraries can get the biggest bang for their $ by trying to get books that won't be obsolete in a year. Books on hot new technology are likely to be nearly worthless in a year or two. Books on fundamentals and theory last a lot longer. If you do want obsolete books (for archival purposes) ask for them to be donated or work out a deal with your local Salvation Army and pick through their donations.

... they will find Gilligan's Island and rescue the castaways.

So you wanted people to leave their computers on all weekend? You must hate the environment.

Then how are actual damages for GPL violations calculated?

Last time I read anything about it (which was years ago) the Linux cache aware scheduling consisted of trying to get task scheduled on the same processor as they were scheduled on previously. This works well for a lot of things, but you lose a lot of benefit when multiple simultaneous tasks are working on the same data since those tasks would be spread across the processors to take advantage of concurrency.
This is just an engineering trade off.

Of course. It's so obvious now. It was Lou Diamond Philips all along.

Actually it may be a very good thing if this case were to reach the Supreme Court since the justices aren't are more likely to make the correct decision when Christianity isn't involved. Religious freedom is easier to appreciate when you're own religion doesn't have the upper hand.
