The Nook Color, which is older than the Fire, doesn't feel sluggish with B&N's version of Android. The only time I experienced any sluggishness was when I booted to Honeycomb and ran quite a few things at the same time. If my last-year's $200 tablet isn't sluggish, then I would hope it's competitor's newer tablet would perform at least as well.

Incorrect as it is, "IQ test" has come to mean a test of knowledge and fact rather than one of ability.
Have you tried Debian GNU/kFreeBSD? It's Debian with the FreeBSD kernel. I haven't used it so I'm not sure how it stacks up against Debian GNU/Linux and FreeBSD.
I was just playing TA on my Win7 machine this past weekend. Sadly, the screen flickers since upgrading to a Radeon 5450 (ran great on Win7 with my old Radeon X1650). I finally got around to beating the campaign this past spring even though I've owned the game since 1997... now I suppose it's time to start on the Core Contingency campaign...
No, he meant The I. It's a race of omnipotent open source software developers. They look like the bastard offspring of John de Lancie and Richard Stallman and live in the Cubicletinuum.
I've been pretty happy with the Nook Color. I mostly use it with free or sideloaded ebooks. Paid ebooks are way too expensive considering there's no dead wood, shipping or many other costs as regular books have. I went with the Color over an e-ink reader so that I can use it for light email/web usage while on the road. I dual-boot Honeycomb from a microSD card for apps not available through B&N's limited app store (which is most of them). If The Nook Tablet is as easy to dual-boot as the NC, I might consider upgrading in a few months.
Those are file systems, which is how the OS keeps tracks of the files - not the files themselves. My understanding is that they're talking about the files themselves. Let's try a bad car analogy. The file system is where the cars are kept. It can be a parking lot, a garage or a field marked with cones. The cars are kept there in some sort of order so that you can go back to find your car later. The files are the cars themselves. You can take a car from a parking garage to a parking lot (IE: copying from ext3 to NTFS). What they're thinking about is the cars, not the parking lot. Then again, maybe I completely misunderstand this all.
So you're saying that you go to the store every day to buy food because people in your country don't believe in refrigeration or buying in bulk? I'll stick to getting a cow once or twice a year... my gas savings alone more than make up for it... not to mention steaks and burgers far tastier (and healthier) than anything you can buy in a store for a considerably lower price.
Actually, I don't have an associates. I have a Bachelors degree (which I finished in about as long as many people take to get their associates) and am looking to start on a graduate degree as soon as my current loans are paid off. I was pointing out the associate degrees, particularly in liberal arts, as a prime example of how people rack up debt for a crap degree that they can't use and never really had a plan to use anyway.
Getting an Associates degree in English (the most popular degree at my college for people who just went to college for the sake of going) is pretty useless. It barely rises above high school level skills and leads to no real career options. To relate to your post and turn it into and Apples vs Apples point - I would bet there are more successful writers without a non-teaching English degree and the associated loans than there are writers with a non-teaching English degree and a four or five figure loan. A comp sci degree might very well be a crap degree if it leads to no job prospects. The entire point of a degree, for the majority of people, is to increase their earnings potential.
It was supposed to say less than 2 years ago (thus why I've been paying on the loans for 18 months... there's a 6 month grace period). One thing I didn't mention in my original post is that I cut off a semester (and thus saving around $8,000 in additional loans) by increasing my workload through the previous 6 semesters... which averages to one extra class per semester (usually an easy elective like astronomy). It's amazing how much you can save on the cost of college with a calculator, a little extra work and some foresight.
I don't think college grads are entirely without blame. I graduated less than years ago with a Bachelors degree and a relatively modest $22,000 in student loans. In under 18 months, I've managed to pay off $10,000 while making $30,000/yr (that's 45% of the principal in 15% of the 10 year loan period). How do I do it? For one thing, I don't have cable TV, a smartphone and my car has very little beyond the basic options. Not paying for cable TV and a smartphone with data plan every month is another $80 I can contribute to the student loan (that's nearly an extra $1000/yr off the principal and a savings of more than $3000 in interest over the course of the loan). Throw in the fact that I rarely eat out, buy foods in bulk ($100 chest freezer is a great investment when buying beef by the cow) have all used furniture, work extra odd jobs whenever possible and avoid shopping trips that zig zag around town to save gas and it adds up quickly. I'm finding many of my peers that complain about loans do none of those things... they want everything and they want it now. I realize this isn't an option for everybody... but students also shouldn't be off the hook if they get a crap degree in English or Underwater Basketweaving because it's easy and they have a passing interest in it.
Mutations leading to evolution can be what creates the fittest. The two are not mutually exclusive terms. You could easily argue that survival of the fittest is one key attribute to evolution which is the result of (some) mutations. As for being in God's image... I don't subscribe to that particular newsletter so I won't comment on it.
Also, I'm unclear on your entire comment of how things that are impossible are true. Citations? I have never heard of someone's hair turning white as a result of being scared. As for spontaneous evolution being an oxymoron... that doesn't mean its impossible, just that the two words have opposite meanings. Spontaneous in this case is generally taken to mean quickly or instantly. Evolution on the other hand is generally defined as a slow change over time (as opposed to revolution).
Evolution is essentially the same thing as survival of the fittest followed by passing its traits on to the offspring because it enabled the fittest to reproduce more or live long enough to reproduce... and over time, the offspring with that trait will begin outnumber other members of its species without the trait because they have a better chance of survival. Also, spontaneous evolution is an oxymoron.
I've installed refurbed Linksys WRT150N routers ($30-$45 each from Tiger) with DD-WRT in several installations now, including my dorm room at college to act as a wireless bridge the campus 802.11n network, my house and my parents house. I get pretty good signal strength between my basement where the router is and my second floor where the office is with only minor tweaking. I don't think they carry the WRT150N anymore, but whatever replaced it in their lineup should work just as well if not better.

I keep getting "There was a problem loading the quiz. Please try again later". Does that mean I pass?
It sounds like you'd benefit from a Mac...

Calling atheism a religion is sort of like calling space a form of matter.
And if atheists feel superior to others, surely they learned it from watching Christians, Muslims, Jews, etc...

It took me long enough to learn how to tie my shoes. I hope this won't be on the final exam.
Without telling nobody? At least they told somebody.
It all depends on a person's fetishes...

Not to mention AD goes before the year, not after it. AD 185 would have been correct, 185 AD is not.
