That is one way to tell pushy marketers to leave you alone:-)

Don't get your hopes up. The violence is not caused by diamonds, they are just an expedient currency for local warlords. If diamond prices plummet, they will soon find an alternative. (Gold, drugs, bootlegged CD's you name it)
I've got about 40 gigs of movies and documentaries shared on K-lite. All of them are public domain and downloadable from the Moving Pictures Database on Archive.org.
What is the point of sharing stuff that is already freely available? If people want that stuff they go to archive.org
(Although is is nice of you to provide mirroring services for free)
you're still running (some part of) Linux to make it actually work.
No, you're not. To run linux you need the linux kernel. No kernel,no linux. X11 is not part of linux, and yet with only an X11 server, I can run Gnome, KDE Gimp and most other programs available for linux on my iBook (I am running Open Office right now as a matter of fact, neatly minimised in the dock:-) with no linux kernel on the entire machine.
Don't worry, at 42V DC (x 200 Amps max output) electrocution while fitting an amplifier becomes a real possibility. So it may get very quiet in your neighborhood real soon.
TV rots the mind... specially in the crucial early years... if your typical day is get home watch 2-4 hours of TV than you are falling behind your potential...
No TV may have been beneficial for you academically, but judgeing from your post, it seems that it hasn't stopped your thinking from becoming rigid, dogmatic and,dare I say so, a little arrogant. Yes, there is a lot of crap on TV, and from what I've heard there's even more on US televison than here in Europe, but cutting yourself off from your culture (however moronic that culture may be) probably does more harm than good. Go read some Thomas Pynchon or William Burroughs and try to be a little less judgemental.
I for one will be happy as a pig in shit if it means i can stop using the OS X version of ICQ
Well, let me make you happy:Proteus is a trillian-like IM client for OSX that connects to most IM services including ICQ.
Dear Sir, you have enlightened me. Worldwide, millions of murderers are at this moment in prison, most have stopped murdering people before they were arrested. I say set them free, as they DON'T MURDER ANYMORE.
Don't make apologies for the guy, he is obviously a slimy weasel.
notebooks only draw full power at the time when they're switched on (when the harddrive, floppy and/or cd are spinning up) average current drawn by a laptop is about 0.8 A, so 15 watts seems like a reasonable figure.

yes, but now they will be strong as well.
Supergeeks - it's a frightening concept.

You vacuum your house once a MONTH? If I tried that, I would be knee deep in dirt.
Well, personally I would like to see more spaceships modeled on 1930's science fiction
And you wonder why your Mars landers keep crashing...
If it accepts rpn input, I can live without linux (on a calculator).

That's true. They're called Plasma Displays
Fear the power of the K'nexintosh!

true story: After Playing a lot of Splinter Cell, I walked into a dark room in my house and I actually tried to turn on my night vision.
After that experience I stopped playing that game for a while (and felt rather silly)
