    I expect convertibles to be cheaper than hard tops because they use less steel sheet metal.

    But, but, I like Austin Powers - International Man of Mystery. It's kinda' funny.

    Pico's no longer installed in OSX. Has been replaced by Nano.

    Just went and installed Joe's Own Editor (JOE). Works pretty well. Is rather Wordstar-ish in flavor.

    Y'all are a bunch of mouth breathing inbreds for not buying exactly what I've bought. And if y'all did go and buy exactly what I have, I'd have to buy something else because nothing's any good if other people like it!

    We're kicked out of our niche and had to go live in an old water tank on a rubbish tip.

  12. Re:At the risk of my nerd card... on Ask Slashdot: How/Where To Start Watching Dr. Who? · · Score: 1

    Same recommendation. I could never get into earlier Doctors, starting with Scarf guy but once we gave Eccleston a chance, I was hooked. And we introduced Daughter (10 years old) to 10th Doctor (Tennant) last year, right before 11th showed up. Since then, have acquired full set of 2005+ shows and have started watching earlier DW on Netflix. Daughter even likes those, though the production values are so much lower than current stuff.

  13. Re:F**k on IPhone 4 Survives 1,000 Foot Fall From Plane · · Score: 1

    Mine bounced out of my holder when I was four-wheeling across a gravel road. Was in the case Apple was giving away to fix the antenna problem; no scratches.

    Also, my 3GS was stolen from my house (with other stuff) but dropped somewhere in the yard when we had a foot of snow. Next morning, I saw one of the dogs running around with something in his mouth. He brought it up and was phone, still in Blackberry pocket case (same one that my 4 bounced out of). It lit up and screen unlocked just fine. Was out when we were having below zero temps. Am amazed battery held charge.

    Oh, sure, go and try and run 6 monitors with a internal 4 drive array and 32 GB of RAM on your tablet. No one will want these once they realize how limited they are.

    Exactly. If they would just pass laws that all computing purchasing decisions have to be approved by a certified /. geek (with appropriate fees paid and cool stamps applied to customer's network passport), we could get out of this whole Microsoft/Apple/Google mess. The world would run on NetBSD, everyone would roll their own browser (using approved render engine) and vi would be the text editor. My God, it'll be beautiful!

    Um, my desktop system has 16 GB RAM, 8 processors, 4x 1 TB hard drives, 4 OSes and 6 monitors. Lets see you do that with your wimpy, useless laptop. Only people with too much money and no sense would waste time/$$$ on a laptop. Why, I bet you can't even set up your laptop as a psudo-cluster to test slurm issues on.

    Agreed! These things are totally useless and a waste of money. Only ignorant users with too much money and penny farthing bicycles will buy these things. And won't they be surprised when they try to edit their .conf files and find out it doesn't even have vi installed, much less emacs.
