This just reminds me of this awesome Donald Duck comic by Don Rosa; The Black Solvent. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Universal_Solvent_(comics) Basically, we'll get lots of super dense diamonds and destroy the earth!

Many people are for the hypothesis of having moved past peak oil having caused the 2008 recession, especially ENV academics. Another thing some of those people and others say is that the current unemployment is here to stay, it will not go back to what it was like before.

I don't know about you but to me boycotting banks sounds like a good idea as long as you can store your money safely.

Maybe it's just because I'm Icelandic and I'm aware of the reality of the bank being able to tell you that you cannot withdraw money because they lost it.

Not to mention that I look down on most economists and people in business and consider them leeches of society. I hope technology can replace them before I die, especially the bankers.

The Independence party in Iceland are not Wikileaks friendly at all and the three MPs from The Movement who supposedly could have had access to that office are not exactly likely to do something like this, even if one of them has worked with Wikileaks in the past.

This happened one year ago (see article) and what interesting data could one possibly hope to find within the walls of the Icelandic Parliament? And even if there was any, there are easier ways of looking for it than gaining entry to the offices and leaving a laptop there. It's even more silly to think Wikileaks were involved.

From the Xubuntu blog: "The new version of Xfce is scheduled to be included in Xubuntu 11.04, to be released in April of this year."

I for one welcome our BEAR overlords. It should also be noted that worker bears work to produce more bears.

Clean and elegant applications never sell in corporate environments. They need bloat and features that are never used.

Now I just need to install Gentoo on it with my new CFLAGS and I will have the fastest operating system in the world on the fastest booting computer in the world!

Yep. http://i.imgur.com/0qbsj.jpg

A physics professor at my university said "Maths is an auxiliary science to physics." Even though he is kidding it is kind of true.

I wonder if this dust is high in fat.

But *BSD is dying.

I was recently told by an academic in computer security that only about 13% of the web are indexed by search engines such as Google. Does anyone know anything about this?
