this stuff has a boiling point of 49.2C (120.6F). Processors burn hotter than that, how useful would it still be for cooling purposes if it were a gas?
Incredibly so. The act of boiling sucks up a lot of heat in the state-change.
If the system is easy enough to recondense, and the boiling doesn't damage the proc, it sounds like the ideal watercooling substance.
First off, it does ship on a minority of new computers. And, heck, it's about as easy to install Linux as it is to reinstall Windows.
Secondly, and more importantly, OSS isn't widely adopted because, while free, it doesn't work as well or better than its proprietary counterparts in all aspects.
A fine example of this is GIMP. I've installed it at home and at work, but I wound up doing most of my edits in Photoshop today because it does the task better.
(Another good example of this is OOo; if you want a summation, check out my journal.)
However, the concious mind can only deal with one possibilty at a time.
Not so.

And generally the most literate people are the ones least likely to engage in parallel thinking. (Grumbles the frustrated science fiction writer wannabee who has a story stuck in his head, but he can't tell it all at once.)
Make some arbitrary choices, pick a place to start, and get a draft out. Once that's done, look at where you can change your miserable manuscript to get it to the best possible version of your story.

If we're going to be sexist, how about we also field the equally-ignorant "women are inherently weaker and more in need of rescue than men."
Was Laura Croft, Tifa, or the women in Soulcalibur (or other fighting games) programmed by a woman? Are they somehow "adequate" depictions of women--in a way that the same depictions of men are adequate?

I think he's saying that the wealthy people should be expected to pay for superior health care and safer cars for everyone because if they don't, they're greedy.
No, no. The rich should pay for safer cars and superior health care so they can be safe on the road and get good help.

The plural of medium is media. "Mediums" is just one of those words we're forced to accept due to mass ignorance (e.g., formulas, personas, platypuses).
Sorry, no.
Unlike some deterorations of grammar (like "virii"), "Mediums" does make sense as a plural form of "medium"--especially given that "media" has an additional meaning than "multiple mediums."
We don't accept it due to "mass ignorance." We accept it due to mass will. There's a difference.

Uh huh. That works for the first eight times your entire e-mail system vanishes into/dev/null. After that, you stop using Mozilla for e-mail.
You mean that you don't backup your user profile before installing a new version? Shame on you, then.
Try manually moving your mail folder to someplace new, and keep a backup of your bookmarks. If the profiles get deleted, it'll be smiple to recreate them.
You are either naive or stupid. "The terrorists" say...

Look, it doesn't matter what BS they say out loud. Their real motivation is discontent, which arises from shitty living conditions, which arise from us being asses to other nations.

if we just drop israel and "let that problem sort itself out", how long do you think it would take for them to decide that their very existence is in mortal danger and use that as a convenient, as-near-to-morally-justifiable-as-possible excuse for unleashing the fires of hell on the surrounding countries?
Ok, so Israel unveils their secret nukes in defense against a ground-war. (Not exactly the perfect idea, but a possiblity.) Well, in doing that, they irradiate most of their surrounding land, alienate the foreign community, and remove any crediblity as victims that they might still have from the Holocaust.
If Israel and the Arabs can't come to a conclusion short of the elimination of one and the reduction of the other to a third-world country, then quite frankly that's their problem, not ours.

It's not meant to be. It's meant to give an easy record that doesn't require much extra work beyond the guard doing their job.
A rough semi-geek analogy would be MS Outlook's journal, which can be set to passively record when you edited what files.

"Free" Software isn't so much free, as Strongly Copylefted.
According to you, one should give up one's freedom's whenever it may benefit one in the short term.
That's not what he said.
What he said was that freedom gives loss of control, which means that your worst enemy will use your work against you.
It's the main reason for the virual/sticky/perpetual nature of the GPL.

Why would anyone buy an X-box when virtually every title for it is out for the PC?
Same reason they buy a GameCube, or a dedicated DVD player, or a Mac. It "just works."
Let's say that I want to play Halo. I can either spend $400 upgrading my PC so it runs the game acceptably, or I can spend $150 on an X-Box.

They don't crash, they have greater security than 98.
If a computer has enough RAM to run either without swapping, and it's going to be connected to the net at all, it should use 2k or XP. Or Linux.

Yep. Dark Side of the moon never sees Earth, though--so no TV.
The moon does have 24 hour days, so long as you pick the light side to set up on. But I guess you didn't mean that. ;-)

The moon isn't constantly facing the sun. It's constantly facing the Earth; it has 28-day days. (or, if you prefer, 672 hour days.)
