Surely you haven't read Book 10. *Nobody* could have enjoyed that. I nearly threw it against a wall but was bloody-minded enough to keep going (surely the plot's here/somewhere/).
So I listen to a lot of classical music, which I encode at a high bit rate. One "song" can be 30 or 40 minutes and 50 or 60 MB or more. Do I get more bandwidth than someone who listens to pop? In a just world, you would.
Yeah. I was using a GF2MX (probably similar to the GF2Go) with Ubuntu & Compiz a few months ago. Slow enough that it was Definitely Not Worth It and I quickly went back to Metacity.
The box I'm using at the moment has a GF4 MX440 card (Athlon 2600+) and it's pretty snappy with Gutsy and Compiz Fusion.
OK, so you put in a good water system for these people so they'll only have to walk to the village center to get their water from a spout.
What says they're going to be able to maintain their water system if something breaks (especially something as complex & expensive as a purification system), or if a war breaks out in the neighborhood and their supply is damaged? You'll at least want these portable filters as a backup plan.
Depends on where you are in the Ozarks. The mountains are well-tree'd and so it's hard to see very far, plus it was/hot/. Having been in a mountainous, treeful area (Great Smoky Mountains National Park) when it was hot, I can tell you that finding water isn't necessarily easy.
Check Google Maps for the Ozarks (south-central Missouri and north-central Arkansas); you'll see there are areas without significant rivers or lakes.
It's called a virtual machine, numbnuts. Set up e.g. a Linux VM with an FTP server and your hypothetical Windows software can just talk to the VM instead of the Internet. It won't even cost you anything if you use QEMU or Virtual PC.
He can't just pull the raw materials and equipment to make these out of his butt, dipshit. Those have a non-zero cost, and for a superfine filter like he's making the cost of production must be non-trivial.
It it sees widespread production, the cost will go down (economies of scale) and advances in materials science and manufacturing techniques could also get the price down. Eventually.
Yeah, I've never understood fuckwits who move next to something loud, smelly, or otherwise obnoxious and then start complaining about the thing they *chose* to live next to.
The poster must be leaving something out, like the big spoiler on the screen, neon lights, and the Type R sticker that he riced^Wmodded the laptop with.
I'm pretty sure that some manufacturers put 1.8" drives into ultraportable laptops and tablets. When you want something physically small that sips power, you put out all the stops.

IIRC he had the final chapter written out for some time, and he's got notes so that someone else can pick up.

But... but... doesn't he have any First Amendment rights?

But to go to ha-ha-only-serious land, our laws seem to extend to other countries anyway. When it suits us.
The obvious difference is that Jobs *does* in fact know his business, while Bush... damn.

The old Compiz team is concentrating on the Compiz-Fusion core, while the old Beryl team is concentrating on the plugins (eye candy goodness).
So, Compiz + Beryl == Compiz Fusion.

Most sarcasm escapes you, doesn't it?
I have no doubt that there are still American voters who unquestioningly believe everything the Bush administration tells them.
:-(
Push the button, it's time for the cockroaches to have a go.
Who cares about realistic conditions, this is programming!
They believed that *before* they got in power.
IOW it was a standard campaign promise.
In my honest opinion, it'll come to killing, probably a civil war, before we see a smaller government, and that would depend on which side wins.

Some people are a waste of oxygen.

Notice the so-funny-yet-true chart towards the bottom.
I've got a Windows 95/NT sticker on my toilet.

They're getting back at all the people who rebooted last month.
AOL. Posting that is tantamount to karma whoring.
Druids are all wannabe clerics, anyway.
I see the trolls are gaming the firehose.
