CUDE GPUs blow SSE out of the water by an order of magnitude for some classes of computation. SSE can do 2 x 64bit ops at once pipelined with loads and pre-fetches.
And the terrible fact that web based CP is not how it's distributed any more, paid for cp is done through virtualisation connected to via encrypted VPN. These laws are ridiculously out of date / lies.

You want to make your way in the CS field? Simple. Calculate rough time of amnesia (hell, 10 years is plenty, probably 10 months is plenty), go to the dusty archives, dig out something fun, and go for it. It's worked for many people, and it can work for you.
I don't know about you but if someone showed me a gif of Lisa Simpson fingering Comic Book Guy in the ass I wouldn't be rushing to pick up the police child porn hotline. So perhaps there's a bit more to this than meets the eye.
And damn, them Power Puff Girls is hot. Is it illegal to masturbate while watching Nickelodeon now? Its hard to keep a steady rhytm to avoid jizzing when Dexter is on screen!
I think it's more it requires the children of those people. They are the ones that grew up where casual drug use was normal and in the open. They had Reefer Madness, we had Cheech & Chong and now it's Harold & Kumar - from Anti-Culture to Counter-Culture to Culture.
There became a tipping point when the BBC thought it wise to make a sit-com "about a small-time dope dealer and his strange collection of acquaintances".
I pay bills by phone with my debit card or by giro at a bank. My income is variable so having a Sword of DDamacles hovering over a particular day of the month is sometimes stressful.
The bill I pay by cheque (Bristow & Sutor Debt Collectors) has a 3% surcharge for paying online with a debit card.

Laptop screens are straightforward if not easy to replace. They are usually third party and lots of machines use the same part.
Try a Matrox Dual / Triple headToGo, turns a single VGA/DVI out into 2/3

btrfs does snapshotting and copy-on-write from read only media.
I back my volumes up to Venti, it does black coalescing and daily snapshots, I can go back to any date I choose.

no dinosaur models, wolf motifs, Kellogs Frosties, eating meat, wrestling action figures, batman
no mario, no superman on the atari 2600, no duck hunt, no burnout, no NHL
