Re: Scanning our thoughts

Average background radiation exposure ranges from 3.6 - 6 millisievert per year in common studies.

One MRI scan exposed an individual to, on average, about 3.1 millisievert.

Good stuff, you will have a third arm in no time.

Re: I love Eclipse.

If you like Eclipse, and you appear to prefer Python, I recomment AptanaStudio3 (http://www.aptana.com/)

It's based on Eclipse, but much more refined and manageable, imo.

That is extremely depressing. Dimebag was an amazing guitarist and defined his own path and style.

'ls' does not support listing only directories.

To show all directories try the following:
