As an inhabitant of a country that makes great beers, I have to say I find this highly appaling.
I take it you've never tried American beer - anything that hides the taste (what little of it there is) can only be an improvement.
Okay, I did encounter one surprisingly good beer in the US - a local wheat beer at a restaurant at Clearwater Beach, near Tampa, Florida. I don't remember the brand, but it might have been "Ybor Gold".
While having Tom Baker (Dr Who #4) as Tom Bombadil may have been interesting, I don't think the movies lost anything significant from having that scene deleted.
Thank goodness that the LOTR: ROTK extended edition will be out for Christmas, because seeing the movies (preferably the first screening on New Year's Day when the cinema is nearly empty) has become something of a ritual the last few years, and it will be sorely missed (unlike Star Wars Episode 3, which will be best forgotten...)
Cars didn't used to have that because FWD only came onto the scene in the late 80's.
Front-Wheel Drive has been around since the 1930's, and took off with cars like the Mini in the 1960's.
My first car was an old, but loyal, Renault 16 (1974 model, I think.) A couple of its more interesting features:
FWD, with the gearbox in front of the engine in a longitudinal configuration. (Not quite a mid-mounted engine, but with similar advantages - and disadvantages.)
Independent torsion bar suspension, the configuration of which meant that one rear wheel was about 5 cm (2 in.) in front of the other...
While quirky enough to deserve a Citroen badge, it was voted Car of the Year in 1965. I loved it - if they ever released a retro-R16 (like they have with the Mini), I'd probably buy one in a second.
The amount of heat being generated by chips does not seem to be decreasing at all...
I disagree. I've just upgraded an Athlon XP 1800+ system to an Athlon64 3500+.
The new box runs around 20 degrees C cooler than the old one at idle and under heavy load; both use the supplied retail AMD heatsinks. I'm not using "Cool 'n Quiet" on the '64; it might take a bit off the idle temperature, but I don't see the point.
Since they're doing it because they see a buck in OSS, they can amend the tattoo to read "MOSTLY EVIL" or "NO QUITE EVIL". (If there's room, "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT EVIL"...)
Nice troll, but you forgot the "-e" - and the fact that this leads to a period of intense activity, not hibernation.
Windows XP has a "Hibernate" button, but it's hidden by default.
Ditto, with a notable exception. One update I installed broke gcc; that makes building things (like a working compiler) a little difficult...;-)
After downloading an "emergency" binary gcc build, I emerged the previous (working) version of gcc and went about my business.
If you don't mind the occasional developer "oops", ACCEPT_KEYWORD="~" is fine; just don't use it on a production system.

If you know you have to exit in the next few kilometres, what the hell are you doing out in the right hand lane?! It's called "being prepared".
And I think there are deffinite chances of there being some extremely unique creatures at these depths of a cave.
Like grues?

I for one welcome our new enigmatic radio-emitting hydrogen gas clouds.

You never have a choice - no matter who you vote for, you'll always get a politician.

I tried using the term "transcrash" instead of atom, but no one but me loved the term.
How about "subatomic"?

Ironically the Remote Assistance "feature" is enabled by default in the new SP2 firewall.
What's next may I ask?
The Dead Parrot Sketch in Python?
I've used the free version of Sygate Personal Firewall with success. I'll try Kerio to see how it compares.
In case anyone's wondering, that's about 0.26 horsepower, and that's assuming that you can apply the full 200 watts of your energy.
They should have used a quarter horse? (I _really_ don't want to know where the term "pleasure horse" came from...)
($699 + increase) * 0 licenses sold is still $0.

Wake me once they've perfected the procedure...
I think the Soviets beat the USA to that, too. Luna 2 carried a Soviet pennant to the moon 14 September 1959.
They can change UNIXWare to BOB ...
"Bomb On Board"? I don't believe for a moment UNIXWare could be "Best On Board"...

Shouldn't that be "In Soviet Russia, you annoy IT people!" ?
Or "Piss, pour" food.
You obviously aren't a Minolta SLR owner who has been waiting to upgrade their lens collection to the digital age. About freaking time...
