I'm a big fan of the "there's no such thing as a stupid question" philosophy.
But then what about stupid people? Do they suddenly get smart when posing a question?
Now, serious, the act of asking a genuine question would defy being stupid I think.

No, a X800 certainly wouldnt't make your web browser any faster, but neither will those dual G5s make any perceptible difference from, say, a mac mini when browsing. As for your data analysis, another user might need that X800 for gaming as you seem to need those G5s for data analysis.
To clarify: i ment the government's income not the average income of a person. Population numbers don't always follow landmass numbers, but roughly it's true.
Why would you say that?
A quick survey of a demographic map leads me to rather believe the opposite. I mean look around the equator with all those small densly populated african countries and, oh, India...
Compare that to the vast barren wastelands that is Scandinavia, Russia, Canada and so on... I think your rule holds true only for countries at the same latitud.
On the other hand, I might very well be wrong, it has after all happened before...
Where did the author compare semaphores and mutexes? I may be blind, but the only place I can even see semaphores mentioned is in pointer to the next part of the series.
Now, I assume you know what your talking about regarding Windows mutexes, I won't say anything about that, but read - and understand - TFA before you go out and insult the author for his lack of understanding. It might very well be the author is stupid/dumb/whatever, but not on the gorunds you mentioned.
[snip] so treatment for Acute Stress Disorder (analogous to PTSD without meeting duration requirements for that dignosis) with anti-anxiety and/or anti-depressant meds, along with counselling - would seem at more sane approach than chemical brain-bludgeoning with lithium salts. [snip]
In what way that lithium is, is treatment with anti-anxiety/antidepressant meds not brain-bludgeoning?
... Korean, and Vietnamese were still written exclusively with Kanji...
FYI Korean is written in Han-gul, which is a phonetic alphapet blended with pictographs describing soundformation. It's a bloody brilliant system... And very far from Kanji.
I don't see your point. In order to develop for CE you have to use their development tools and libraries. When you develop for a Linux based PDA you aren't *TIED* to any specific toolkit.
That argument doesn't hold water. In the same way you aren't tied to using QTopia, you aren't tied to WinCE! Linux is an OS kernel and therefore incomparable to WinCE which is an OS kernel + toolkit. Now the linux kernel + a toolkit is a different beast...
I grew up in the very northest region in Sweden. When meeting other children, from the south, I was often asked the question if there really where polar bears in the streets and so on (there weren't). Point is, as a child you are unknowing about your own country. Growing up the 'unknowledge' doesn't go away, it just moves farther...
And as to people thinking Java is Free... hello?! Every single time someone says something positive about Java, there are n+1 people pointing out its non-Free status (just as with Qt, for that matter, although Qt has less licensing restrictions in many ways). I really don't think many people think it is Free.
And the fact that Qt is indeed free software doesn't hinder the crowd pointing that out... shrugs...
First, a morpheme attached to the end of a word isn't unbound, it is bound. Second, what you seem to mean by postfix is usually called a postposition (contra preposition), as in... drum roll... Beowulf:
Strangely enough, the firearms related incidents are far fewer in Sweden than in the US. And it's far more difficult to buy and own a gun in Sweden. Now I won't generalize, but it seems that the problem is not as easy as you suggest.
SOMETHING happened in that time frame that created a HUGE social, religious and political change.
Where? Palestina? Don't think so. Roman Empire? Continued as if nothing happened for more than 300 years. There really wasn't any significant social or political change around 30AD. Now religious change, undoubtly, but as for others, no.
If an historical effect could be attributed to an event 300 years before, history would be an even more uncertain science.
It is a leveled playing field that puts everyone at the level of Gates and Ellison, with access to the source code of hugely powerful application.
See, here is a vital difference. Gates and Ellison have an exclusive access to the source code of hugely powerful application. So while it really does level the playing field, it does so by 'tearing down' Gates and Ellison, not by 'raising' others. This is a flaw in your reasoning that is neither subtle or overseeable.

No no no, that would be Lonestar, not raspberry!

So why would anyone need Hyper-Threading when you actually have dual-core in the next 6 months?
Because you can get Hyper-threading now

Wrong! You can't be happy running DOS...

I'm confused, what's the difference between "Free" and "free"? Except of course for the capital f.
As the US has this tendency to start killing foreign people, it's population can't be very liberal about sex, no?

Old stuff, like the measuring of planks and nails and sometimes rope is still in imperial here as well.
Uhm, no, not imperial, to confuse the matter even more, a swedish inch is 2.47cm unlike the imperial inch which is 2.54cm.

Since you yourself say that you mostly read Slashdot in Win XP, I would say your quiet accurately represented in those stats.

I'm going to be picky on this one...
Main Entry: Pearl Harbor Function: noun
going to takes a verb in infinite mode, something quiet, but not altogether, different from a noun.
