For me, waking from hibernation is no faster than a cold boot.
what do ya got? 16 GB of ram and a quantum bigfoot hard drive?
Nope, an Acer AspireOne netbook...
And this is using the specialized kernel posted in the AAO Users Forum, which makes all the hardware work and makes it boot faster, but the hibernation doesn't really save any time. Therefore, I tend to suspend the machine a lot.
The US is the most polluting country in the world, both in absolute terms and per capita.
Environmental damage that happens in other countries counts as US caused if it's done by US corporations. E.g., the Union Carbide disaster may have happened in India, but it was a US corporation that caused it.
Come now, take responsibility for your (collective) actions.
Maybe someone could make a list of the most polluting multinational corporations in the world... Greenpeace perhap?
Because, lets be honest, the whole point of the D&D game since the days of Gygax has been to kick down the door, kill some monsters and take their treasure.
The 1st edition books also heavily emphasized combat... Non-weapon proficiencies were an "optional rule" even in 2nd edition.
...and now that I think about it, the vast majority of roleplaying rules sets dedicate most of their pages to two things: character generation and combat. Because everything in between is just roleplaying, and we all know how to do that since we were kids playing cops and robbers...
IE sluggishness is so bad, that even though we aren't allowed to have any other browser on our computers, I use Firefox. That's right, IE is so bad, I risk disciplinary action to avoid having to use IE.
Same here... I managed to download and install Firefox to my work computer, but Websense does not allow me to install the flash plugin, for some reason (its installed in IE7, but not Firefox)...
look into the japanese imports, they have some machines which are designed with some particular niches in mind that don't seem to be large enough for the american or european markets
I haven't yet done the hardware hacks described on the forums (internal bluetooth, touchscreen kit), because I'm waiting for the warranty to expire, but it works like a charm with Ubuntu netbook remix
Actually, there's a lot of praise for Keith Moon and not enough for Ringo Starr
No, seriously, stop laughing... If you listen to a Beatles track, the tempo is perfectly even and accurate throught the song... Most drummers start a little bit slow, then gradually start going faster towards the end.
And no, Ringo did not have a click track (although he did have George Martin...)

This again?
For the last time, Gnome and KDE are not going to merge! And we don't want them to merge! Healthy, friendly competition is good!
A Single-Unified-Linux-Desktop is neither desirable nor necessary for "world domination" or even "the year of the Linux Desktop"

Mhmmm interesting dilemma... Watch Twilight or Plan 9?
So long as they don't try to resurrect Lotus as OpenOffice, I'll be happy. Especially not that abomination Lotus notes.
Er, Lotus Symphony?

You don't need a system to roleplay. You need a good GM
The 4th edition rules actually encourage good roleplaying by not placing too many kludgy rules in its way
Go to paizo's website and download Pathfinder... it is a slightly bugfixed 3.5
In my current job I was handed a piece of paper with my userid and an 8 character random string of letters and numbers as my password.
Not to mention the fact that you can install a lot more from the repositories

yeah, wtf with the strange units?
Could someone explain what was the point on admitting guilt? It takes away all the fun of the conspiracy theorists!

Agreed 100%
I have gotten very good service of my Acer AAO...

Amazon won't sell me straight unprotected MP3s since I am not in the US
I think the linux=ubuntu mindset is cyclical... not too long ago, it used to be linux=redhat
True... I wonder what happened to that guy...?
In some other countries (like mine) precedent only happens if five similar cases are ruled in the same way, with none ruled in the opposite way...

...and then "the GNU Song" will be released in vinyl, CD, SACD, DVD-Audio and will be a multi-platinum hit MUAHAHAHAHA!!
You are confusing QT with KDE
