I used to eat 3-4 Lean Pockets a week, so I've got a pretty good idea what I'm talking about: I've never had the problem he describes with the outer portions being lava-hot but the center being frozen. This has been so across 3 different microwave ovens, one of which was an ancient late-'80s unit made when turntables were a premium feature and you set the time with a dial.
My secret? Following the goddamn directions on the box and adjusting for the microwave's rated power. The directions are usually for a 1000 Watt microwave (some products calibrate for 1100W for some reason). That's what my current unit is, so that's easy. If the microwave is 900W, you nuke the food for 10% longer, so if the directions call for 3.5 minutes you convert that to seconds (210) and add 10% (21), giving 231, then convert that back to minutes and seconds, which is what the microwave groks (3 min 51 sec). Stupid easy.
I have had the author's described problems when heating up leftovers, especially stews.
That depends entirely on the program: not all DOS programs can use EMS or XMS or DPMI; they have to be written specifically for those standards. WordStar 4.0 supports none of these, so it is in fact limited to 640K minus whatever else is running in conventional memory.
To be devil's advocate (I don't necessarily agree with the author's proposition, though I can see how he got there), your business model of making cheap crap doesn't deserve protection; either adapt and make more expensive, maintainable stuff or die.
Oklahoma is one of the most conservative states of the Union. Instead the state government, under pressure from jerb creators, will cut social programs and raise sales taxes, while cutting corporate income taxes.
Let me short-circuit this argument for you: criminals won't obey firearms laws, so it follows that we shouldn't have laws because criminals will ignore those too.
Logical fallacies: slippery slope, excluded middle. This is but one reason why I can't take NRA fanatics seriously.
You know what would be even better? Requiring my fellow gun owners to be responsible, to carry insurance, to pass safety training. Thanks to the NRA fundamentalists that'll never happen.
As someone who lives here in the States (albeit in a smallish town with low crime), this is not remotely a daily concern. It's mostly just public masturbation by people who think they're macho. I own two bolt-action rifles and have only once considered using them to defend myself, from an attempted night-time home invasion eight years ago. The perp was scared off and so I didn't have to shoot him.
Things are a bit different for people who live in the countryside where it'd take half an hour or more for the police to show up, mind, but the "need" is still way overblown.
Wyoming is an extremely conservative state. It comes from being mostly rural; the state has only about 582,000 people and its population density is the second-lowest of all US states. Per Wikipedia, it also receives more tax dollars per-capita than any state but Alaska, and its per-capita tax aid is more than double the US average,/and/ its taxes are among the lowest of all states because they can suck Uncle Sam's teat to make up the difference.
From the above, it's pretty evident that like most conservatives they only give a shit about themselves.
They do listen to their constituents. It's just that their constituents are the people who can afford to donate thousands to millions of dollars to their election campaigns. You're the sucker that provides the fig leaf by voting for them.
Shorter AC: I don't like the science or its implications, so I'll attack the man instead and thus derail the discussion. At least it's not yet another anti-Al Gore screed.

Fuck off, Blastard.

They're all variations on that name. Can't remember them exactly, but one was "Hugh Pickens" (no dot com) and there was another one that's similar.
Hugh Pickens has at least three accounts that I've seen attached to stories.

A video clip that's doubtless been taken out of context. WAKE UP SHEEPLE.
You can tell a conspiracy theorist, but you can't tell him much.
it's a reflection of the stated intentions of my enemies.
Narcissistic paranoia.
You are a colossal faggot.

That's a few hundred kids a year who died for your freedom, buster.
The kids died for freedom.

Now that you know there is more than 1 type of person who might be for this technology, maybe you won't need to be so suspicious.
Ha. No, it's probably cause for OP to double down so that he won't have to deal with an idea from outside the bubble.

Never mind our unsustainable lifestyle and deteriorating environment, LOOK AT THAT MAN OVER THERE.
Fuckwit. What is it with conservatives, that they always have to make it about hating a person instead of acknowledging the problem?
BINGO!
Can someone mention Al Gore one more time? My denier Bingo card is almost filled out.
