As I thought, no allowance for ambiguity. Therefore, I bid adieu, and wish you well on your crusade against surgical procedures with proven health benefits.
Funny - last time I had to activate Windows via phone (must have been nearly a decade ago), it took no more than a minute or two. Every other activation has been *click* *wait 30 seconds* *done*.
It sounds to me like your installation isn't all that healthy.
Gran Turismo 5 is ok, but to be honest, Forza Motorsport 4 is better both as a racing game and as a driving simulator. GT5 has some very specific features that appeal to hardcore car nerds (it has some interesting and obscure old cars, plus a detailed encyclopedia). If that's what you want then GT5 is for you.
Ultimately, however, Forza 4 has better graphics (outside of the relatively small number of "premium" cars, GT5 can be surprisingly ugly), better tracks, better online modes and better customisation options. GT5 could have been awesome, but it needed more attention to the actual gameplay mechanics as opposed to the car-count to really get there.
I would normally leap to the defence of GT5 at this point, but the 400hrs+ I've put into FM4 tells all that needs to be told. Having said that though, I'd take Grand Valley and Deep Forest over Ladera and Iberian any day.
Older Atom chips were often less efficient, like-for-like, than ARM chips. While Intel (will) have made improvements, it takes a while to change people's perceptions.

My grandmother had her knitting needles confiscated. They were afraid she's create an Afgan.
My karma for modpoints...
how two guys are going to start a population together
Easy - parallel universe. Worked for Lister.
The second law of thermodynamics states that you can't convert thermal energy into any other form. Sorry.
So, power stations run on magic?
Looks like you need a new sarcasm detector.
think foreskins regrow
Can you point me to where I said this?
Then again, I fear you're just trolling - your reply will either confirm or deny that.

0.0002%. There's a higher mortality risk from simply existing.
Just noting that perhaps we have different definitions of "effect".
I think we can agree on that :)
Don't play your 'I'm desperate to win this argument, so I'll say something ridiculous' card so early next time.
Given that those who have been circumcised live long lives and have children, I'd say no.
Not sure if serious, or just trolling.

Read the news! Of course, it's all so obvious now! All those reports that don't exist must have escaped my mind temporarily.
And circumcision? The Jewish practise that so far has proven to be safe with no long-term effects? You need to try harder.
If that was a direct reply to me, I'll send you a new sarcasm detector, since yours is broken. Otherwise, ignore this post.
takes at least 20 minutes wait on the phone

It would be nice. If only Sony made it so you can scroll all the way to the left of the XMB and use the Power Off option.
Reactivation is automated, and takes less than a minute.
Wait, why am I defending using XP?

Or the dropped on-off switch.
Oh no, I'll have to use the switch on the wall socket! How will I survive?
Seriously, that's one hell of a straw to clutch at.
Internet Explorer users don't check for updates let alone understand what zero-day means.
Oh, right. Fail IT departments who have kludged apps that require IE because the management was incompetent.

Windows is x86, no matter how hard anyone tries to change it.
Also a history lesson.

Looks like someone forgot to tell Microsoft.
