Really?

IANAScientist but Egypt has spent years DNA testing mummies to identify suspected remains of family dynasties. Most of these are several thousand of years old. By the logic of the article there should be less than 6% of the DNA remaining in a 2000 year old mummy. Yet time after time they have been able to identify remains that have markers clearly indicating they are related.

There's not even a link to an article. This looks like Soulskill took a creative writing project and threw it on the front page.

I think a few people have heard of the Evo, but point taken. HTC is like Nokia. For every good phone they make it seems like they put out a dozen pieces of crap.

I meant to say Mate desktop. Mate is the default desktop for the Mint distro, so I brainfarted.

... or at least I did for a while.

I switched to KDE after Gnome decided to suck. I liked most of what's in KDE (or at least I've become used to it) but it's not as stable as Gnome was.

So recently I switched to Mint. It's an adjustment again, but the crashes are gone.

Pissing off the youth is always a good idea for a career politician. They never remember stuff like this when they are old enough to vote.

One of the most natural things in the world a kid with a lazer pointer will do is shine it straight up into the sky. Watching the unbroken beam of a lazer disappear into infinity is a pretty impressive sight. I could see where a young person casually waving a lazer around the night sky might breifly pass the beam over an aircraft.

Have we slid so far down the slippery slope that something like this will become punishable? Who do I vote for to restore some common sense?

I worry about kids growing up today. There's some really stupid shit that can get them in big trouble.

Well that exactly what Blofeld wants you to think.

Or 'multi-object occultation'?

There are some very dense areas in Nebraska. Some of them are even well populated.

Apple screwed up (although they are haldly unique) is pushing the concept that an Operating system is a bunch of personal and productivity applications. Road Navigation software is not part of the operating system.

The OS is the core environment, utility, houskeeping software, and desktop. Marketing idiots have confused the common consumer into thinking an OS also has programs for adding glitter to ponies.

As seen here, when an app breaks the perception becomes the who OS is flawed.

Adios Gnome.

Root your android! It will never truely be yours until you do! You can never trust it until you're certain it doesn't call home to your provider.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2. I'm running a modified ICS spin I downloaded from xda-developers.com with GO Launcher. Touchwiz sucks.

Seriously Fedora, you need to include this as a desktop option ASAP. I put Ubuntu on one of my machines recently. You're losing me.

A heads up display allows you to look straight ahead without adjusting your focal point or moving your eye. This doesn't look as though the image is projected onto the surface of the googles. the user must make an effort to view information, it is not overlayed with the normal field of view. It's just a mini-display tucked into the corner of diving googles.
