Or even better, Sabayon. All the power of Gentoo, but with binary packages.

Latin/Greek seems like overkill. Why not just use Prolog, or some other logic programming language? Then you'd get the benefits of unambiguous propositional logic, the familiarity of English, and the ability to perform automated queries on the law. Propositional logic is much easier to teach than Latin/Greek, and would probably be beneficial to cover at some point during primary/secondary education anyway.
For an example of how this might work, see the classic 'Colonel West sells missiles to Nono' example. (slide 17 here).

The ethernet on the Raspberry Pi is provided via a USB-to-ethernet chip.[1] USB devices on the Raspberry Pi have been known to give all sorts of problems when there is insufficient power,[2] which was likely to happen if one powered it using a standard compliant hub which only provided 500 mA instead of the requisite 700 mA. Since the network connection was provided via USB, it was also affected.

So, why would anyone buy the product for the initial price? They end up paying the same price as everyone else in the end, but are exposed to additional risk.
This model only makes sense if there is an additional incentive, like with Kickstarter perks.

You can do that already with an FPGA (if you don't mind a clock frequency of ~100 MHz), but good luck finding an open source program to do synthesize the design.

I've been using the latest version of KDE on a Centrino with 768 MB of RAM - complete with the designed for XP sticker. (My previous laptop died and this one is a temp until I get a new one.)
All you have to do is change a single setting to disable Desktop Effects and it runs fine.

From the article:

My (rather limited) understanding of it is that within the field (i.e. to people who actually know what they're talking about), the phrase 'machine learning' refers to the above case; using a training set of real data to develop a model, then applying that model to real problems.

In contrast, Remy takes a (stochastic) traffic model, rather than raw data, which would make it a different kind of AI.

You think the editors read the summaries? You must be new here...

Someone already tried to do this with EOMA-68. How successful it will be remains to be seen.

So presumably, HTTPS would be effective.

Unfortunately, the Linux version is only suitable for running games native to Linux (as far as I am aware), which is at present pales in comparison to the number of games for Windows. Running Steam under Wine is the easiest way of getting said games to work, especially when you consider the difficulties associated with DRM.

Given that 7.04 was half a decade ago, you might want to use a more up to date example.
Last week I installed Steam under Linux. It was as simple as './winetricks steam'. Admittedly, I still had to know to use winetricks and download a more recent version of it, but that's a significant improvement over 5 years ago, especially as all you need to know for any piece of software now is:
a) use (the latest version of) winetricks
b) check the Wine AppDB if it still doesn't work

I don't need a web interface, so KDE Kolab and Kontact/Thunderbird. It's a full PIM suite, so it also provides centralised storage for a bunch of other things as well.

I have an Nvidia 8800 GTS that's 6 years old, and so far I've only played one game that was sluggish on it.

These days my most frequent migration is trying to find a better distro. I started of on Ubuntu, then moved to Kubuntu, and am now using Debian testing. But Debian's feature freeze is painful, so lately I've been looking for a new rolling release distro.
