It's also part of the deal by which states with small populations were persuaded to federate with more crowded ones, which could totally swamp their interests if federal elections were by polling the whole mass rather than the jigsaw pieces. Change that and you might see another secessionist movement.
I was taking you seriously until you said this...
"Oh yes, me and my small militia are going to start a war against the United States Army... And we will win our freedom back!" yeah, right...
"But dear, these slashdotters have not the means, nor the inclination to do the grand tour like any young people of means do. We must allow them their delusions!"
Newegg caters to a small minority (namely people like us who can distinguish between a motherboard and a graphics card)
Most computer buyers buy Dells, HPs, Gateways or Macs... Some of those might know there's Intel and AMD processors, but they aren't quite sure of the difference....And some of those pride themselves into knowing that Macs run with "a different Windows".
I work in a company that sells what might be called a "luxury service" (vacational memberships), and I really groan every time I get people who want to cancel their contract when they finally figure out that they actually can't afford it.
I even got a guy who lied about his income on his membership application because he wanted to impress his girlfriend... And the idiot felt he was entitled to a refund for his down payment.
Apple should deny any and all refund requests from these idiots, and fight the credit card chargebacks that will inevitably ensue.
I second this recommendation for anybody who has to typeset professional-looking documents and does not need to do complicated mathematical formulas.
I have done a few pamphlets and a couple of books with it and I feel confident enough that I don't need to hire a graphical designer to do typesetting anymore.
If he did come down here to Mexico, he's in for a surprise, as the FBI has a nice, cozy agreement with the PGR (Mexico's federal police).
Mexico extradites criminals to the US VERY frequently, and with minimum hassle, unless the perp risk facing the death penalty (no death penalty in Mexico)...
I don't see penguin logos on boxes, and not everybody has a working printer and enough paper to print out a distribution's hardware compatibility list and carry it into a local computer store.
Well, maybe you should do it the other way around. For example, I recently decided I wanted to purchase a cheap laser printer, so I went to the store, saw one or two models I liked, and then went home and looked up which ones were compatible with Ubuntu.
...Ok, maybe it's not such a good example, since both models I was interested in were Ubuntu compatible (an HP and an Okidata)

If you don't like doing "small yet vital steps" and compiling your own kernels, may I suggest using another distro?
Really dude, there are tens of distros with supereasy installation processes.

Water, microwave, spoon?
Sure, not a big explosion, but a nasty burn if you are not careful...
We have always been at war with Al-Qaeda... er, Eastasia
I will not deny that some of the people offering you a vacational membership are just trying to scam you.
However, our company makes more than 100,000 thousand travel reservations per year and we have over 65,000 members in three continents.
Our product definitely exists and we are not scamming anybody.

I for one, welcome our new racing-to-the-bottom overlords.
Maybe that way, the gaming software people will focus on gameplay innovations, instead of making ever larger and slower eyecandy
O RLY?
All the architects and civil engineers I know (and I know several), use pirated copies of Autocad, the BSA be damned!
It is just stupid to think a copy of software can retail for $4,000USD... which equals 7,073 days of minimum wage where I live.

At around 20min each way only on line games that you will be able to play are TBS ones.
Or play-by-post roleplaying games
I'm imagining Beowulf imagining a Beowulf cluster of these things.
Nah, if anything, I can imagine Beowulf ripping out one of its clock hands and throwing it to the sea
...or maybe the Antikythera Mechanism is actually a time machine!
I believe a big "thank you" is in order for organized religion.
Actually, the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire had more to do with it.
The Church, if anything, managed to save some of the knowledge that would otherwise would have been lost.

Aw, cmon! Are we going to have these discussions again?
The guy was a convicted criminal, and the simplest explanation is that he killed his wife and baby...
I, for one, hope he gets large pineapples stuck hourly into his ass for the rest of eternity
As I posted before, there are large numbers of stupid US criminals who think they can cross the border and "win".
Which is why the FBI has an agreement with the PGR (Mexican Federal Police) to capture and quickly extradite them.
It happens quite frequently...

With apologies to Terry Bisson:
-"They are made out of meat??"
-"That's what I've been trying to tell you!"
-"Yuck... Thats just disgusting"
-"I am glad you finally believe me"
-"So, what do you advise?"
-"Officially, or unofficially?"
-"Both"
-"Officially, we are required to contact, welcome and log in any and all sentient races or multibeings in this quadrant of the Universe, without prejudice, fear or favor. Unofficially, I advise that we erase the records and forget the whole thing"

You win.
I do bullshit for a living, but you just... win.
I'm not sure what the metal is either. At first I though they were talking about Liquidmetal(TM)
Is that like Liquid Paper(TM)?
- Computer, please install Ubuntu Zany Zebra
- I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid my license agreement can't let you do that.
If they don't take out the chainsaws by round 3, I'm asking for my money back
