Not to mention being woken up hourly by the fuckwit a few seats over who keeps hitting the stewardess-summoning button, or by the stew who keeps getting into his baggage which is stored right above your head.
Red-eye from O'Hare to Glasgow,/then/ I had to deal with HM Customs, whose agent was just as rude as TSA's equivalent.
Those'll be one-shot powers, much like the how the sovereign gives a pro-forma assent to every law passed by Parliament. The first time she refuses to assent will be the last.
It's kind of nice: a decent Optiplex 270 or 280, given enough RAM and a video-card upgrade, can run Win7 32-bit quite ably for office tasks. These machines are six to seven years old.
The GX620s can often run the 64-bit variant on the built-in Intel IGP.
To use a math analogy, going straight to assembly is like doing calculus first, then algebra, at least on a "level of difficulty" scheme.
Best to start off with an easier language then gradually ramp up the difficulty while on a parallel track make sure they can do math and Boolean algebra, then at some point not too far in the future get into the low-level stuff. Compilers and interpreted languages abstract that stuff away anyhow.
Why, yes. You shouldn't go straight to offensive humor with someone you don't know....wait, you're being sarcastic. I could see someone thinking that, though.
There's a difference between Puritanistic horror at anything sexual and being offended by naming a software program after an act of non-consensual peeping.

Plan 9 could use some love. Maybe someone could make it a GUI that doesn't look like it's from the late 1980s.
rofl. Well done sir.
But the poor Cubs still don't win a World Series.

This needs a mod "+1, bitter truth".

Really? I've had some of that old kit in service with Win7 for over a year now and no more problems than other stuff.
They get upgraded to Win7 when they're otherwise in for service that would need a wipe/reinstall.

Fixed, thanks. Thought that might have been wrong.
if their voting machines are anything to go by, they're open as in Goatse.
Tee hee, I've offended an anonymous coward.

Probably they don't want to scare off the freshmen by diving right into assembly.
Because that would mean admitting this in any way his fault. Politically that would be bad for him.
Explain your point about the last election. How'd the Queen arrange to get Labour booted out?
I give this troll 1/10. You can do better.
Not the same at all. The Queen is an utterly powerless figurehead, and if she dies tomorrow Cameron's still in charge.
It wouldn't be /good/ if her security was penetrated, but it's not the same sort of "oh fuck" as if a for-real head of state had that happen.
Is there ever a reason not to offend my fellow aspies?
Why, yes. You shouldn't go straight to offensive humor with someone you don't know. ...wait, you're being sarcastic. I could see someone thinking that, though.
*snort* Why couldn't the idiot have used XChat or some other client?
Spot the perv who wants validation.
This is true.

It was a hoax.
