That's stupid. It's not about taking damage, it's about raising awareness.

There are sites that do this. I don't remember which but one of the sites where you can download subtitles already has a little javascript app that does the same.

I was aware that pushd and popd existed but never used it. I see how I can gain a lot of productivity from it, so I'll probably be using it from now on.

Have you ever used a Kindle? You can put any book on it that is either PDF, mobi and a few other formats.
I rather not have the UK as part of the core of Europe. They have a very original idea of what it means to be in the EU. Treaties, policies, this and that for everybody else but I'm going to opt out.

Thank you, but no thank you.

If I remember correctly from the BBC article I read on it, it's not "earlier than thought", but earlier than we had proof for. Other non-human remains have already placed humans in Europe around that time.
Re:Khan Academy: Computer Science on Tuesday November 01, 2011 @03:19PM (#3183676)
I remember I first bought a Java book to learn to program when I was around 15-16. I tried for days but couldn't figure out why the first example program wouldn't work, it was because it wasn't System.out.print1n but System.out.println. In the font the code was written in, I couldn't tell. Because of that it wasn't until at least a year later that I didn't try again.
