on 4 architectures, I still have a special place in my heart for Slackware (though I use Arch and Debian on my main boxes now). Great distribution -- I even sent Pat "The Man" Volkerding home-made cookies when he was sick.
As the adage goes, Give a man Debian, and he'll learn Debian. Give a man SUSE, and he'll learn SUSE. But give a man Slackware, and he'll learn Linux. I certainly picked up more *NIX tricks from Slack than the other distros combined.
By my calculations, a black hole with a radius of 100000 light years would require a mass of approximately 3 * 10^17 solar masses...
Note that 100,000 ly is much larger than some smaller galaxies. I could be wrong, but unlike LoC, VW Beetles, etc., "galaxy" isn't a unit of measurement.
If the "cartridges" are just DRMified USB drives, then there's really not much (hardware) overhead in offering that as an option in addition to optical media, as the console likely already has a USB controller.
True. However, one key difference is that the experience of other utilities is such that bandwidth past a certain threshold buys you nothing; if I can have my fridge, computer, stereo, microwave and toaster on at once, then that's good enough for me (electricity "bandwidth" is sufficient). Likewise, if I can run the dishwasher and take a shower at the same time, then my water "bandwidth" is sufficient.
Currently, internet access is very different with regards to bandwidth; the more the better! This difference isn't really an argument in favor of one method of billing over, just an observation...
On the Dvorak keyboard, B is right next to M. That said, I use Dvorak, and have never personally caused a stock market fiasco. Maybe I should change professions...
Where did they get a spare face? Faces are rather hard to come by.
You want a face? I can get you a face, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me... Hell, I can get you a face by 3 o'clock this afternoon...these fucking amateurs...
But they don't average out for a particular journey.
I'm pretty sure that "average" implied "multiple journeys" in this context...
With the fixed-price system, some are overcharged and others are undercharged. And this does not average out nicely. Drivers who have shifts covering peak congestion periods would get screwed, while those rostered for less-congested hours would make extra profits.
Some waiters/waitresses work on Tuesday night, some on Friday night -- guess who makes more in tips?
It seems to me that it comes down to what you're paying for; are you paying to sit in a car, or are you paying to get from A to B? Whichever it is, you should charge accordingly.
If they're tapping into the randomness of something's wave function, then nobody will ever be able to predict the outcome.
Sure, but what if the state beforehand isn't exactly 1/sqrt(2) (|0> +/- |1>) ? Granted, we probably still won't be able to predict the outcome, but if it's weakly coupled to some other, seemingly random part of the machine (which we may have access to), then we may be able to make guesses. I'm not at all saying that's likely, of course.
I know you don't want a tiling manager, but for anyone wondering, I can speak from experience that dwm works wonderfully with two monitors. I run an external 1920x1200 display, and an internal 1024x600 from my netbook.

Microsoft seems to have no aversion to putting out beta-quality software -- why not publish some more interesting betas?

'Cause even if the source is available, the would-be attacker won't be able to understand it!

Mac OS X *is* BSD, and it is the best designed, most secure, most reliable, most usable BSD ever made. Why would you use anything else?
I use shell expansion of the * character -- so *BSD expands to NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, etc. It doesn't expand to Mac OS X.
All of the games work great on Mac, Windows, and Linux. We didn't want to leave anyone out.
No *BSD, but still kinda neat!
