I wonder then why my fur and claws never stop growing, even when I don't use them, and why do I feel aroused when some girls passes around with a high pheromone level... Or why do I get hungry and have to take a shit every day.
Fact is, we are animals. And much more than most care to admit. The only difference, really, is that most animals are more selective about what they eat than us.
It does not limit the geek in the process by any means. I would love my high-performance computing linux development full time job had the same tools I have on my macs.
What his parents are trying to do is killing the genius on him. Fuck teenager, fuck art school. Send him to a phd already. When the hormones will start to scream, he will be in university already, so the teenager worries are moot.
They will only create somebody frustrated with all this "normal life" bullshit which will turn into an early, and heavy, drinker.
30mpg is equal to 7,84 L/100km. I think the americans still use the imperial units to not be embarrassed in front of the world. Even the shitty indian and brazilian cars can do better. Hell, even those giant bmw SUVs are able to do it (though not all)
I beg your pardon? Try www.bmw.de . They are big, they are heavy, and my 18 years old series 5 has better fuel consumption than that. Oh yeah, and I can run it at 120mph legally. Doesn't make much sense to have bug huge cars with 4 liter engines to walk at 50mph on the suburb.
Because the gains of having more gigabytes of I/O cache, for instance, is not that big, when compared to the time taken when an application actually needs that memory and the OS needs to flush this cache to disk? So yes, this makes things seem slow, especially when you want to open a program. Remember, most windows programs are killed when its last window is closed.

iOS devices will end up like Macs - relegated to a small, single-digit share of market, basically irrelevant to the industry as a whole.
Have you ever been to an open source, programming or supercomputing conference? I wouldn't say the people there are irrelevant to the industry as a whole AT ALL. And what do you see there the most? Macbook pros.
Really? Those tablets seem to be faring quite well. And, to be honest, they are pretty good at what they do with an order of magnitude less computing power than the current notebooks - yet, they do so also while lasting twice as much on much smaller and lighter batteries. So it is not that everybody is folding proteines on portable devices like it seems to be your case (and also mine).
Slashdot Mirror
why would you want it? the hardware is actually inferior to that of the n9 in several aspects.
you mean, like ubuntu and mac os x have been doing for years and microsoft ditched before win 7?
The program order is important even on ubuntu live cd, where they are recorded in the order they are used to gain boot speed.
oh come on, anybody can configure sendmail by hand
I swear I read GATTACA
And oxen. A lot.
If that much, for some of them.

I think the personal computer a parent could buy in a box and give to the 8 years-old kid probably changed the life of 80% of slashdot readers.

This is a sure way to create an alcoholic teenager. Trust me. I've been there.

First-hand experience.
So the guy who can't remember his password is the same that starts the post with "remember the days when..." ?

Yes for all the three.
Oh by the way. Smart has a 71 mpg car for sale for some years. It is low emission by definition, and exceeds euro 5 by far.
What the hell do you have so much to carry around? Your house?

You mean... Like pretty much every non-US engine already does?
Data has to go to disk sometime. Either when the system is idle, or when memory is requested. It cannot stay forever in memory.

No - they say you can run C# and VB apps. Look at the .net on the little corner of the desktop part.
