They're having too much fun testing out new robotic limbs to get out of Iraq. Each day, so many new test subjects volunteers become available. Vietnam killed a bunch of people, but look at the cool helicopters we got out of it! Die Hard would just not have had as cool of an ending...
Where are the comments about how it's already happening? Who among us *hasn't* sleep with a computer in their bed that they loved? One time my friends piled all my programming books on top of me when I passed out. What happened? I slept great and woke up with the feeling a loving aura next to me. Yes, C++ and I love each other and care deeply for each other. Same goes for my computers. I love them. I haven't really *made* love to them since I can't afford to buy a Sex Drive(TM), but these are issues we're working through...

Not to mention the voodoo surrounding BI-sexuals. Don't get me wrong, they freak me out. I hear they think differently. The only exception is with highly attractive females, commonly documented under the title "lesbian porn".
Whoa, I got off track. What I really meant to say was, a BI-sexual Operating Sytem scaries the be-geeze-us outta me.
btw, anyone know how to spell what is pronounced the same as "be-jesus"?
$size_of_mail_disk / $number_of_users is fine if one user only gets 1 e-mail every so often. If some idiot sends $number_of_users messages all of the size ( $size_of_mail_disk / $number_of_users ) your system is SOL.
I'd use $size_of_mail_disk / $number_of_users / $some_large_number
(BTW, I just learned Perl. Woohoo, now I can explain myself in something other than C/C++!;-)
The Heat Sink Guide: Maximum CPU temperatures - Gives ya the maximum temperature before your CPU's inards are like melted butter. But it seems 60 degrees celcius is ok (140 degress fahrenheit).
Seriously man, whip out your Google when you don't know what to do ... or do you run Windoze? j/k:)
It seems contact lenses are the answer to many questions. From the hubble telescope, to near sightedness, and now corneas that got their asses kicked.
A few suggestions for problems that should be solved with contact lenses: + ugly wives: made them pretty with just a little silicon or other plastic + terrorism: make ones that make everything seem smaller and give them to terrorists... maybe they'll mistake life sized planes for toys and be unable to spot tall buildings to bomb + recreation: put a kalideoscope in them for people tripping off LSD and friends! Also will allow others to see what it's like to hallucinate.
UPDATE: After a highly advanced auto-incriminator (currently under development for use my the US government) was first tested, a suspect was produced in under 3.4 seconds. Starting processing at slashdot.org (haven for people stating views not endorsed by the sojourn rulers), Dyolf Knip was identified as a suspected terrorist by the non-heuristic algorithm being developed. The following quote was extracted: "We're... terrorist... [and] violet criminals."
I used to have a severe problem with my machine becoming unresponsive and pausing for 10 seconds at a time while the buffers where synced. Then one day I was inspired to type
hdparm -t/dev/hda; hdparm -d 1/dev/hda ; hdparm -t/dev/hda'
Suddenly a dim bulb brightened and I saw the light:) (Went from 2- MB/sec to 27+ MB/sec)
It's even more hilarious if you only knew how long I has unaware that the DMA/32bitIO/etc would never save of a reboot. Then how I never even thought about how slow my hard disk was working when I know that IDE can easily do 25+ MB, I say it's hilarious!...but I'm not saying how long that realization took;)
Slackware follows the KISS principle to the T. I can (and have) installed it on all my computers. From the dumb 486 terminal to the pentium (soon to be) router to my P2 w/ KDE and flashy graphics. Never once has the installation crashed/hung/etc if I didn't provoke it/did something stupid.
The packages are great also; just tar --list-the-stuff-your-favorite-way | less to see what the installation will leave. Simplicity is it's strongest um... aspect... main GOOD thing:)

All of what you said is well and good and makes sense, but they're forgetting to take into account: outside influences.
How often has your opinion changed after speaking with a friend, parent, plant. Jedi, or sock puppet?

I like to think of myself as a doctor, that's why I self medicate. I find inhaling copius amounts of nitrious oxide can help induce laughing.
Then of course, what's better than making one laugh uncontrollably than pot? Hehehe
Anyhoo, enough about me... you need to Google more often. Several helpful links:
:)
Hot Spot - How Modern Processors Cope With Heat Emergencies - Goes over different bad things that can happen. It seems newer CPUs are designed to know when it gets too hot and will hang themselves to protect the hardware.
The Heat Sink Guide: Maximum CPU temperatures - Gives ya the maximum temperature before your CPU's inards are like melted butter. But it seems 60 degrees celcius is ok (140 degress fahrenheit).

These are but a few of many ideas....
