  1. Yet another Windows related problem on Ask Slashdot: Best Small-Footprint Modern Browser? · · Score: 1

    Most distro's will run fine on 512MB of ram. Your OS is the problem not your browser.
    However just go to the dump crack a couple of cases open and viola free ram. I do it all the time for older computer parts. Last time I found a broken (dead cmos battery) IBM Lenovo ThinkCentre 3.2 GHZ, 1 GB ram, 80 GB hdd. Upgraded the ram (4 GB) hdd (500GB) Hooked it up to my 37" LCD TV running openSuse with Gnome 3. I fix dozens of older computers for friends and family with dump parts. Simple things like power supplies can save a lot of money.
    But even if you have the spare ram get the tech guy to install it even though you know how so you don't step on any toes.

    Well at least I don't resort to threatening people. Threatening to "smite" someone with your automobile is most likely a criminal offense where you live. So please put the stick back in your ass so you can stop spewing your diarrhea everywhere.

    Well we are at it lets remove "god" mode from Quake. If just the word god offends you, you are a sad pathetic little man. We need a tolerance school for people like you. Why don't you just call it the atheist particle in your head and then you can be happy.

    Your fractions I know of the top of my head its like memorizing multiplication tables or some such. 24" + 6.5' is a real oddball question and would never be expressed as such on a blue print. 5' 6 1/2" or 5-6-8 would be the typical layout on a blue print or engineering specs. And I've never worked on a project a mile big or even a hog's head condos just are not that big.

  12. Re:morons on Why Does the US Cling To Imperial Measurements? · · Score: 1

    Well for dumb asses such as above in construction (excepting industrial) all of our materials are imperial. A condo for example the plans are in metric then you have to sit there with a calculator for a week and convert all the measurements to imperial. Why? Because it is easier to work with. All engineering for concrete (except for compression tests which are in Mpa) as well as wood structure is done in imperial. It is much easier to add/subtract fractions than decimals whether expressed as a traditional fraction or in the following format 12-6-6 representing 12 feet, 6 inches, 3/8 inch (6/16) . Most job site calculations are done with pen and paper rather than calculators.

    The planting season has already been delayed one month here. And we still have snow on the ground in April. Snowed yesterday matter of fact. And yet polar bears north of here are supposed to be drowning due to ice melting. Time to move to the north pole where its warm and the ice melts because it sure as hell is not melting south of the arctic circle.

  16. Re:Japanese whispers on Japan Raises Nuclear Plant Crisis Severity To 7 · · Score: 1

    Except ignorant scaremongering frequently prevails over truth and reason. Not all kicks to the groin are equal. The source of the pain is as important as where its located and the force behind the kick. Some just really hurt others pop a testicle. Comparing a general kick to the groin to a popped testicle at this point is pure idiocy and scaremongering - classic anti-groin kicking propaganda.
