That's how you can form and unform habits. This is where the robot analogy breaks down - we can reprogram ourselves, to some degree.
That being said... yeah, you do need inputs to motivate you to do anything.
Of course, then, you'd need motivation or an impulse for reprogramming yourself, otherwise everyone would be happily meditatiing. And a greater insight of your inner workings is not exactly reprogramming. It's an extra tool to aid you in the same task you have been doing all your life. Parent still applies.
Especially in third world countries, you'll find a US$25 difference can be huge. I know for a fact that in Brazil a US$70 chip is sold for US$150 because of absurd taxation. Now when you factor in the monetary convertion, you'll see that chip being sold for R$300. In a place where the average wage is R$1000, you'll find a US$25 difference in a motherboard to be huge. So AMD will have an enourmous advantage on these kinds of market. Funny thing is they tend to be all overrun with Intel processors, from what I've seen.
Is RAM that relevant to gaming nowadays? Especially given that Linux dosn't free that much memory? Here I run the base system at 120Mb and Win 7 might need 350Mb. But what's 280Mb in a system that's required to have a badass, ultra expensive video card? Surely no one has craving RAM for gaming for a long time.
"Could it be that Linux may soon support this Microsoft API better than Microsoft itself?"
Actually Linux could soon support Microsoft's latest API better than XP. That's possible. But not better than Microsoft. That's like saying Linux has always supported DX9 better than Microsoft itself because it wasn't present in Windows 3.1 (and neither in 3.11).
I thought you guys had another option. The "oh, what's the point if they're never going to win?" party. If it's really that bad, if there's really no hope for your democratic system and the people are getting screwed, then why aren't you overthrowing the government right now with your guns?
If people aren't taking seriously a registered party with well documented ideas and proposals because of its name, I think it says more about the inability of the voters than about a bad naming choice. It's not the same, of course, but somewhat akin to saying rape wouldn't be that bad if we called it "surprise sex".
Yes, but the US Government is less credible than Assange is, because they apparently like people who have the same distorted view of reality that they do.
Actually there's no way to gauge consequences. Those seven bucks (yes, let's pretend Windows is that cheap) that Microsoft missed times one million customers might make them want to raise their prices to compensate, which in turn may cause a company to lose money and be "forced" to raise their prices. And if that company happens to be a food distributor (I can't imagine why they'd use enough copies of Windows as to come to that, but bear with me) in a country where people are poor, then by allowing people to pirate software, you may have put hundreds of even thousands through suffering, and maybe killed a few people. So if you're going to think about how everything you do might affect everyone, good luck. I think it's valid to release information that the military was trying to keep from the public, yes. Accoutability is very important for governmental organizations and even more so for the guys with guns.
That's the beauty of corporations. You can never trouble them with protests. You merely trouble their employees. Likewise, you cannot imprison them, for they do not actually exist.
Soldiers carry out the missions YOU as the public chose for them (by casting votes on election day). So don't ever be so short sighted as to blame the horrible shitty messes soldiers are put into by other, third parties, on the soldiers themselves.
If you really believe that, then you must also believe soldiers do get to choose their missions, when they volunteer. It's the same sort of indirect (and, in my opinion, nonexistant) control.

Did you mean "horns or GTFO"?

What interests? Filmmaking and... young children?

There, fixed that for you.

Yes, ex-wives are every bit as much of a pain the ass as bad analorgies.
This guy seems really open, making statements like that.
Probably cheaper to produce and cheaper to buy, at least for the end user who knows his way around the interwebs. So everybody wins.
I believe (consider to be the truth) you're nitpicking.

Looks like spam filtering to me.
Not really. Come on... IE8 is paleolithic technology.

The same thing happened in the 90s, with astronauts and Harvest Moon.
