    Is a foot longer than a minute? Parsecs measure distance.

    I heard you like old things, so I put a reverse-engineered Windows clone in your VM so you can simulate while you emulate.

    Why do you keep trying to twist this?

    I am a geek with good understanding about Linux. I probably know more about computers than your typical Slashdot geek.

    Yeah, because Europe isn't industrialized at all. No way.

    Sure, except for the part where there is an objectively right viewpoint for capital punishment, abortion, and gun rights.

    Unfortunately there's the question whether views of the Internet will "normalize/level out/whatever" before it's been emasculated.

    "ScrotWM"? I'm going to say that that's right up there with "GSpot Codec Information Appliance" and ask what on Earth these people are thinking when they name these things. Personally, I feel no need to have my software have associations with sexual intercourse and/or genitalia.

    Unless you can cite something that specifically says that they outlawed making pamphlets or whatever about what went down at the forum, I'm going to go ahead and assume they had that option. I mean come on, this is THE ancient republic we're talking about here.

    IIRC in Athens they let any random citizen stand up in the forum and speak their mind.

    If you're going to cite the userland as an OS, then there's obviously always apt/yum/etc. YMMV but support indeed, for patches and updates and whatnot.

    Aren't 64th and 128th notes rather a stretch? Even 32nds don't seem likely unless you're talking techno. And seeing as you already mentioned whole notes and "bridging notes together," isn't 4x and 2x notes redundant?

    Do you have any idea how stupid you sound? Is slavery okay if it takes place in the context of a different culture? Only idiots accept relativism.

    Depending on the context, I would say, yes. There's the whole story (I can't say that I've verified it but if true, great) where they had slavery in Biblical times, which sometimes was applied to work off a debt that one couldn't pa. The servitude was of limited duration but involuntary, so you can call it slavery.

    Having taken two actual college classes about this sort of thing (Language and Culture & Sociolinguistics, which basically ended up being about the differences between cultures more than about language per se) I suppose I'm disbarred from this conversation, but there are a lot of good points to the cultural relativism you so casually dismiss.

    Wow, you just took a theoretical science question and totally twisted it into a sociopolitical one that the grandparent wasn't asking for at all. Interpreting your logic literally, either the core cooling and sun fuel running out will occur simultaneously, or never.

    PS: Yes, maybe everything in your post is technically true.
