I have recently started torrenting again, and I dropped all large (http/ftp)downloads I've done recently into my torrents folder and searched Google for torrents with the same md5sum. ThePirateBay came up quite often.
I haven't seen a BIOS battery in a laptop. I have seen certain desktops (Dell Optiplex comes to mind) that don't clear the BIOS just because you removed the battery. I had to use the jumper instead. (I haven't seen those in laptops, either)
Wonderful! Then there isn't a single sovereign nation outside of the US - not a single nation could actually stand up to the force the US can project...
China
The EU, if you consider that a single country.
Russia might last half a year or so, if only because conquering Iraq in Desert Storm took a full month.
India's population would allow for a large resistance movement, but I am not sure it could support itself
Slashdot Mirror
Yes. If your engine can render at 120 fps, it can render the scene twice and combine the two images to add motion blur.
I guess the next question to ask is: "Do they do this already?"
Does any framerate greater than your monitor's refresh rate matter?

What about triple-digits?
I don't have a problem with people trying to protect endangered species, but cows and other meat animals are not endangered.

You have only been beaten to that punchline half a dozen times in this thread.
* Lettuce, cabbage or celery? It's not very healthy for the roots when the entire above-ground portion of the plant is chopped off.
Weeds tolerate it pretty well.
Pluck an ear of corn, and it'll grow back.
You haven't seen how crops like corn or wheat are harvested on a modern farm, have you?
For the curious: It is mowed after during harvest.
Plants can't effectively communicate with you. Who's to say they don't have feelings?
If you are going to antagonize over that, you must have a very limited diet. Mineral water, perhaps?.
...puts them about par with some insects IMHO.
You don't hear much about Bug's Rights Activists.
Too soon. The Chinese landed on Europa before that message, remember?
That was the informative part.
A friend of mine just pulled XP OEM licenses off of ~20 machines before we ship them out with 2K.

...I want an iPad. Something the size of an e-book, with wi-fi, and an OS that is simple to use on it. Oh and i want it for less than $500...
And a pony.
And people in the Artic thought their night was long.
You must be very new here.
I vote for i.
..treatment plants. probably don't...
Oops.
So it might make Duke Nukem real?
Water treatment plants. probably don't get their water from the atmosphere (unless you count desalination plants).
uses the same amount of power as three light bulbs
That's great to hear. Now how much water does it produce? I don't want to run it all week just to get 3 oz.
I know of at least one Windows 98 machine still in use, and repair G3 OS 9.2--OS 10.2 iMacs at work (even a OS7 PowerMac came in once).
You need to cut the cord at some point.
