I don't understand why some seemingly rather simple applications would require a large amount of processing power. When your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
Not necessarily. I have an intellectually stimulating job (which I love) but upon reading the shit I post, most people would think I worked at an abattoir slaughtering pigs all day.
[...] the first behavioral evidence that there are separate circuits
of nerve cells to convey itchiness and pain, and their studies suggest that
itch and pain signals are transmitted along different pathways in the spinal
cord.
This got me thinking...
You know how it is when
you're stuck in a conversation at work with Bob the Office Drone and you get
a terrible itch building up in waves across your scrotum? The kind that
makes you force a smile on your face while you're thinking "Man oh man, I
wish Bob would fuck off so I could scratch myself!"
Well...
quadriplegics don't get that! Lucky bastards.
One day I expect Kepler to discover an Earth-like planet with an Earth-like atmosphere and the public won't even care. Getting funding to image the surface of that planet will be an uphill battle and even if the returned images show undoubted proof of intelligent life, people still won't care.
Sadly, I think you're right.
NASA will have to pay money to Big Media for a spot on a reality show. Two morbidly obese women will be mud wrestling... the camera pulls back and Paris Hilton is now in the foreground saying "Life on other planets is hot! Drink Red Bull!"
Would be interesting to hear from people who actually go to one of these stores.
I'd happly walk into a porn store wearing nothing but shorts and sandals and report back to you. But an MS store? I'll have to buy a trenchcoat and fedora to go with my black glasses.
I'm now in the latter half of my thirties and my girlfriend is in her mid-twenties and I was just rambling on about text adventure games. She looked at me like I had three heads and never heard of such a thing.
I guess you have to fill the time when waiting for the Viagra to kick in.:)
They'll learn all about the Earth remarkable 6000 year journey from nothingness to the present day and how baby dinosaurs were on Noah's Ark. You know... science!
All the "my body is special" whining won't change the fact that you don't see many fatties in the old folks' homes. Most of them were planted years before old age.

Save your money on subscriptions.
Just get a no-frills (but decent) HDTV then pick up a PopcornHour Network Media Tank. Plays xvid, DVD ISO, x.264, etc up to 1080p.
they've been soldering those wires. They should you thicker ones if they want higher current
I was at BestBuy a few years ago and heard the blue-shirted drone tell these guys "Look, you have to use Monster Cable for your Hadron collider."
Did they listen? No!

Yep, every person who adopts IPv6 is another person free from Microsoft's evil embrace!

My prediction is that either the Admin will turn up or (worst case) won't.
An amazing grasp of the obvious, Mr. AC!

Yuck!
However nit picking aside, at least we shall now get some certainty in the releases of (probably) the worlds best distro.
We already do: OpenBSD comes out in May and November. Not that it's a "distro" but...

Another schism was when de Raadt was booted from the NetBSD team and formed OpenBSD back in the mid '90s.
In hindsight, that was probably one of the best things to have ever happened in Free-OS-Land. I sure am happy it did.

German can sound like a pretty angry language, almost like Klingon. Maybe they're just reading love poems to one another?

The fact still remains - I may look better, but I feel like shit.
Look at the bright side: you'll live longer to feel shitty!
