If all the mathematical models for physics were clear and precise it would mean that all of the physical problems were solved. I don't think you assertion that Physicists are poor at math is grounded in reality.
But his solution to this according to his logic would be for MS to release their OS more often, so you can do little upgrades to your machine and run on the new OS.
I haven't had to upgrade my machine AT ALL and gotten 5 years on XP- sounds like the better option to me.
I don't know how many times I have cursed Firefox for preventing me from typing in a URL while it loads the 'URL Helper' (or whatever it is called) when 99% of the time I can type it in faster than it can look it up.
Just an example of developer hubris when it is applied to interfaces.
But why? It would have been a great and ubiquitous tool if it had stuck with being a wrapper for postscript- anything else 'extra' that acrobat does is done better some other way.
It would be nice for them to put one or two 'old' processor scores for reference, I am using a 5YO celeron and don't have the slightest idea what these scores mean in to relation to what I am using.
Most people will have sex during their lifetime and it is completely legal. Most people will never murder and it is always illegal. How can you even compare the two?
I will take tax incentives over new laws any day-- I would rather there be a consumption tax on gas than outlawing of all SUVs, even believe that driving them is kind of dumb.

The nurses I know are able to pick and choose any schedule they want and pick up extra work very easily for extra cash if they want.
The Feynman lectures are there to teach students how to think about physics as opposed to memorizing the usual problems sets.

I am sure that a big bunch of their customers are prescription drug addicts.
The part that ties them together:
"And now time for something completely different!"
Alien vs Predator made even more sense than the comparison in the headline...
The purpose of the plasma is to maintain a certain temperature profile since the fuel (trash) has irregular burning characteristics.

I don't understand your logic here- are you saying that Microsoft should have designed Vista to work on 5YO hardware?

I have built c++ libraries for Java and never had any problems.

Use Java for the interface and for the most part the code will be portable.

You need to pick your battles- What a pointless hypothetical argument.
That is the most amazing engineering article I have read in quite some time.

You can thank Chuck Norris for discovering this.

Worst. Logic. Ever.
lawyers always use a spell checker
he played an accounting trick by lumping social security into the general fund

Well I guess if 'works' means does everything as elegantly as x-windows on linux and works perfectly with my personal configuration you are right
I use virtual desktops all the time with xp without issues... is this a Vista problem?
Assuming you are not a pervert, how much would someone have to pay you to look through CP all day? What effect would this have on your mental health?
It's no different than doing a keyword search on a directory of text files.
