Sad. Not only that, but it's likely that more Americans can name the Steelers offensive line than will ever even hear the name Wernher Von Braun. You see, our stupidity knows no borders.

Yes, but you see: ours goes to eleven.

Or digging further:

# Push access to packages in the Fedora SCM.
# Ability to perform builds and make updates to Fedora packages.

Which I would qualify as high-value.

And besides all that, it sure seems like a fun thing to do!

That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage!

Seriously, what is the difference for the worker? Not trolling, just want to know your POV.

People keep saying this kind of thing. I remember predictions of the failure of the ipod too. And Ken Olsen from DEC said in 1977 "there is no reason for any individual to have a computer at his home."

Smart companies are going to dig into this kind of r&d to help meet the needs that we can't predict from where we are. If all a company does is make things that are obviously necessary or immediate successes, then we don't really make much progress.

Really, the only OS mentioned above that I would not like to see make a comeback is WinME.

Caveat emptor. For everything, from anywhere.

If you're depending on reviews from a single source to save you from risk, you deserve everything you get.

Make sure the return policy fits your needs before you buy or just don't buy.

I tried setting up a brand new ipod touch last night. The apple store REQUIRES a credit card for new itunes store accounts. You can delete the card information after the setup is complete, but in order to access the store you HAVE to enter Visa/MC/Amex or Paypal creds.

Yet.

And furthermore, this would be an excellent conversation to have with beer.

I suppose that's true if they were observable or more importantly if they were being searched for. But if nobody was looking for them they could have been missed.

What else would one look for?

Could it be that there are local variations in time during the original solar flare observations rather than fluctuations in the actual decay rate, and that it is not related to neutrinos from the flare but from some other gravitational changes coupled with flares?

I know, my ignorance is showing. Sorry. IANASH (I am not a stephen hawking)

Frustrating. I've found that if I post something that's only two words, some doofus is only going to read one of them and post a smarmy comment about how dumb I am. If I respond and point out the second word, yet another doofus is going to read only the second word and tell me how I'm wrong about that one.

Even worse is that I find myself doing the same damn thing to others. Damn you slashdot!
