I'm stuck with 10.10 too... but it has already aged quite a bit even with all the backports and ppa stuff on. I'd love to upgrade but half hour usage of 11.10 quickly made me quit, I'm on the wait for a decent version of ubuntu too but giving up hope... Maybe I'll try that fancy cinnamon mint stuff later
Silmarillion was published long after J.R.R. Tolkien was dead and more than a decade after this 1961 Nobel jury. Get your facts before writing nonsense.
Yeah, same with me... bought every rulebook I could find, not just AD&D but Shadowrun, Cyberpunk 2020, GURPS... and I count the times I've actually played them with just the fingers of one hand!
And another thing that pisses me off is that I was ALWAYS the GM, but just wanted to be a simple player!:)
If all that singularity stuff proves to be true we'll see it during our lifetimes... but that's a big IF right there, and all one can do is only hope:)
My first complaint: Chrome's gigantic header is 18 pixels taller than IE, on my netbook that extra 3% of the tiny screen that is unusable for content is kind of a big deal.
Ever heard of fullscreen mode? 'F11' on most browsers I have used...
Well a possible solution would be to gradually replace the original, organic neurons in your brain with eletronic counterparts. Of course, it would lead to some interesting questions, like the Ship of Theseus paradox, i.e. if you replace all the parts, are you still "you"?
The ship wherein Theseus and the youth of Athens returned [from Crete] had thirty oars, and was preserved by the Athenians down even to the time of Demetrius Phalereus, for they took away the old planks as they decayed, putting in new and stronger timber in their place, insomuch that this ship became a standing example among the philosophers, for the logical question of things that grow; one side holding that the ship remained the same, and the other contending that it was not the same.
But, considering cells die and replacements are born all the time in your body, if the process is gradual enough, there would be no such problems at all...
Meanwhile, go to Hong Kong or most places in South America (Brazil's particularly bad for it) and you won't find a single legitimate console or game in stores.
Ain't true, here in Brazil at least. Stores do sell legitimate console & games, but those (mostly) don't get bought because of their outrageous price... as in, an PS3 price is between 2x to 3x the minimum wage around here. Then of course there's a black market, where modded consoles are easy to buy, and they command about half the price of the original stuff.

your post reminded me I'm mighty hungry... where are those overpriced Cheetos bag I bought yesterday?! :)

Back in the 1030s Hitler is reported to have said something along these lines
First time I've heard of this Methuselah Hitler!! Scary stuff...
Most lucid comment I've seen here on ./ on a while... congratulations, sir!
Garbage collection should be pretty easy to automate really.
Sure it is. Can't remember last time I saw System.gc() in any code...
'Tis what I call a good troll eh... no-one discussed TFA, and you almost started a flame war. Congratulations!
Of course, for really distorted meanings of 'reasonable', you are absolutely correct.
So basically, women aren't any better than animals.
Of course not. They are animals, and we men, too -- we are all just primates! :)
Things are slowly improving. Despite all the problems that plagued them, enem and sisu are a step on the right direction IMO. :)
Good idea Baron Münchhausen!!
why this was modded 'funny'?

How many times do you use a command line (or even see one) on any of these in normal use ...?
Almost all the time
...about the same as in Windows ... i.e. never ...
Nice trolling there!
...but then the second post would become the first, and so it would be deleted too! no one would post anymore :)

They chased the maximum profits per quarter instead of chasing what would continue the company in the seachange they created themselves.
Not sure how this differs from most other corporations in existence today

it's about time Microsoft realized that the only way to maintain a system over a period of time is to rebuild the OS periodically.
my current Debian install, made ages ago, wholeheartedly disagrees with that affirmation...

The country that sells politicians the same way it does sanitary towels. Somehow it seems strangely appropriate.
Oh, that we could discard them as easily as well.
...only to replace them with even worst, more brain-dead people?
man it sure sucks to be an yankee, huh?
sure it would be an important step towards iPeople, wouldn't it!
In swtor you are NOT going to meet Vader, or Skywalker, Princess Leia or hang out with Yoda.
Actually makes sense, since it is The Old Republic i.e. thousands of years before the events described in the movies.
