It's as hard to keep a Windows machine free of viruses as it is to keep a Linux machine from shitting itself on boot.
I've only seen Linux not booting two times in 6+ years of using it: The first was faulty hardware which caused SEGFAULTS. The second was a damaged home-partition. From all the arguments you could come up with, this is the least viable.... At least say "...as it is to keep Linux from randomly killing X", that at least sounds believable.
Wait...Windows 7-Ready hardware, Windows 7 Licensing Costs AND 5 additional IT-employees and they choose Microsoft because "it costs less"?! I seriously need to get a job in the public sector, seems like they can jack off all day or something.
No, I can remember an episode where SG-1 is trapped (and a little bit brainwashed) to work in a big city underneath a thick layer of ice. Told that they would be the only survivors of an apocalypse on the surface...which was a lie, of course. Star Trek Voyager did a copy of the episode where the crew was working in a big city. Can't find the episode right now, though.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the Roughnecks never had exoskeletons as far as I can remember...the only thing close where the Mech-Thingies from 3, but those ran under "Project Marauder".
I think the simple difference there is the difference between those questions "What's the capitol of x?" and "What number goes here in relation to all other fields?". The former does only need some thinking, the latter would require to memorize the whole grid.
Congratulations. I thought twice before saying anything outloud which could be overheard by authorities during the communism era. I was born in communism and I'm going to die in communism. Thank you. (I know it's not technically communism but you know)
Wait...so you're complaining that an organization tasked to defend the U.S. and all citizens therefor from any threat, uses public available data (made public by the owners by their own free will) to check if there's a possible attack with a biological/chemical weapon (or a simple pandemic)...so that they can react faster and safe more lifes?! And you call that communism?! Did I miss something important...except that whole "the government is evil and wants into my panties" bullshit?
Yeah but you can just pop in an SDXC mini-SD card for $50 have have another 64GB for music/movies which is what fills a device.
See, that's exactly what's wrong with the Microsoft-Ecosystem. "Well your PC is slow, just pop in another 4GiB of RAM, it's cheap!... Sound stutters? Just pop in a real soundcard, it's under $ 100! Something is wrong and you don't know what? Just reinstall the thing, will take you some days but better then weeks of searching! You want this bug fixed? WHY would you want that if you can work around it!"
The collapse of the PC market has had much discussion on Slashdot with a common opinion that, now that Apple is the largest personal computer manufacturer, a loss of sales combined with Apple's iPad will completely eliminate most of them.
The PC Market was collapsing? Apple is now the biggest PC manufacturer? We will all now use iPads instead a Desktop-PC?......... WHAT THE...
As a Linux-User, I'm not looking forward to a window trying claim the whole desktop. I have two monitors, and everytime a window tries to go fullscreen (either native or Wine, Flash or otherwise) something goes wrong. Either it expands over both monitors (which sucks, because my secondary monitor is really secondary with lowered contrast/lighting) or it uses the main monitor and blanks out the second (which I'd like to keep because there's quite some stuff on there I'd like to see) or it does it right, goes fullscreen on the main monitor and grabs the controls completely...

I meant typo in the summary, not the Wikipedia-Article.

Isn't that the plot of at least a Stargate-Episode, a movie and (I think) an Outer Limits Episode?!
Yeah, the Wiki-Page talks about -13C (9F). Typo?
Here you go!
Oh right, I always forget that there was a book before the movie...thanks for reminding.

It's more likely that they scrap the whole desktop with 9.

And before somebody ask, Great Britain is not part of Europe...and I think that's a mutual agreement.
...that crappy PAE kernel.
Care to elaborate?
Valve strikes Microsoft in the lower body with it's right hand and the severed part sails off in an arc!

Uh huh? Naturally, class names such as ASPFB and GDMF and RSAP are evidently more lovable. So much simpler to write...
MyClass, MyConn and MyFunc come to mind...*shudders*
People *always* wanted something different to Microsoft products...they're just too lazy or stupid to try something else.

Do you have a source to that? And if this was during the Cold War, then should any of use be surprised?
