Next, the small subculture of amateur physicists will try to duplicate Farnsworth's other inventions, the Smelloscope, the What-if Machine, and the Fing Longer!
and what's the point in using windows on x86-64 when there are few or no apps to take advantage of such a processor?
Classic chicken and egg problem. Remember Windows 95? There were "few or no [32 bit] apps" back then too. That setback didn't cause us to forever be stuck in 16 bit. I suspect history will repeat itself.
I know a guy who works in the Vancouver office. From how he describes it, it's basically the same. Long hours at crunch time and unpaid overtime.
He says he doesn't mind too much, since he's single, but that if he had a family there's just no way he could pull it off.

I don't know how many times I've heard that all modern PCs are overkill. A long time ago I read an article where the author was running a dual P6-200 running Windows NT. He talked about what overkill it was and how a Pentium 133 should be just fine for most people.
Yep, we sure should have listened to that guy. Everyone should have hailed the Pentium 133 for being modern computing's crowning achievement, and we could have closed the books on making new hardware, because what would be the point in building anything faster than that?
Then it was "nobody really needs > 300MHz for home PCs". Then it was 500MHz. Now I guess the bar has been raised to 700MHz.
My benchmark: if I still have to wait, then it's not fast enough.

What's porn-to-porn file swapping?
Do I have to have porn running at both ends in order to exchange files?

You know what they say ... once you've had a backhoe, you never go back yo.
They really need something beyond +5, Funny for comments like this when you actually laugh out loud.
Web 3.0 = FUFMe
If you add "&fmt=18" to the query string of a YouTube video, it'll play the high quality version (if there is one).
GIRL = Guy In Real Life!
It was because Larry doesn't believe in "four"play.
I think catalytic converters take care of most of that stuff in cars and trucks.
Pretty good, but this has to be my favorite description of Web 2.0.
If anyone wants them removed, just find a way to get NBC to air them. Then they'll be removed from YouTube instantly!
How soon until they install them into movie theatres?
Well, other than the GIANT ANTENNA sticking out of it and the scotch tape behind the ear.
So if we kick them apart in space, we win!
if there's nothing to spend it on! That's the reason why the cap was hit, there's no large mansions, yachts, or expensive prostitutes.
Well, you're right in that there's no large mansions or yachts, but there are indeed expensive prostitutes.
I'm very sad to see your post modded "Troll".
I first read this as "Cork screwups could keep space drinks flowing".
It didn't even seem weird cuz a cork screwup would indeed keep drinks flowing in space.
Don't forget Pen Island!
Why is this modded Insightful but the one above it pointing out"lables" Offtopic?
Clearly grammar errors are killing slashdot but nobody likes that jerk who points out spelling errors!
Don't forget waxes!
That's right. It's been around for 65,000 years!

UNBC sounds like it really has it's act together. I'm in Kamloops, attending UCC, which has 3x more students yet no graduate level programs.
There's no such currency as "CDN". The Canadian Dollar is "CAD".
