well let's see Penguin is an english word "Pronunciation: 'pen-gw&n, 'pe[ng]- Function: noun Etymology: obsolete English penguin great auk, perhaps from Welsh pen gwyn white head (applied to the bird in winter plumage)m-w.com So a 15th century penguin saleman is a person selling white feathers, eg: a pen salesman.

"You need to have a dedicated machine for the MCE and a TV in/out card plus you need something that's half-decent in speed."
It's not a Legit Media Center PC if it's not fast enough and doean't have tv capture and tv output.
Microsoft doesn't _sell_ media center edition unless your hardware meets the requirements for it. Frankly if you're getting a Media Center PC that is below microsoft's own specs (3.6 GHz P4 100GB HD etc etc etc...), 90% sure the Pc has a warezed verion of Media center. 10% possibility it's a small OEM that managed to get an approved model, and then installed media center on PCs it wasn't supposed to, thus violating thier agreement with microsoft, which puts them up shit creek without a padle.

the boss's brother's daughter's husband's nephew's wife's niece's brother-in-law...
What, in 50 years? By your geneology, the "boss" is at least 3 generation before the "niece's brother-in-law." 'Be pretty lucky (for the "boss") to be alive, if the "brother-in-law" is old enough to work.
For, Boss's Age =X , for brothers age = X+14 While Brother's daughter's age = X-5 (+14-19) if Her Husband's age = X-7 , her 'husband's nephew could be X+7 , if he had an older sibling, naice can be any age, and have a brother in law witha commen deviation anywhere from x+-7. As you see, mathematically it is possible for all the jumps in that statment to occur within a 2-generation gap of under 14 years, without any woman needing to have given birth to any child at any age under 19.
Next time you gripe, perhaps you should consider how complicated family relationships can be;) Just be greatful he didn't add any 'ex mother in-law fiancee's' into the list.

World domination. The practical applications of prime and prime mersennes is limitless, from good luck (7) to bad luck (which is just a prime, and not meridian) (13) primes and prime mersennes are the underpinnings of the very universe. So, by knowing more of them than anyone else, anything from immortatility, to world domination are the practical applications of prime meridians. Also just to note This is the 42nd Prime number (which also happens to be a mersenne prime as well) discovered. The list as used on 'mathworld' includes numerous prime numbers that are NOT mersennes. They are Just Prime. 2, 13, 17, 19, 87, 107 are examples of 'non mersenne prime numbers' listed on that list, and '255' is an example of a 'mersenne prime' who's number is Not prime. and thus is also not on the mathworld list.
(which only exists because of mechanical clocks limitations) no, which only exists because of Solar clock limitations, which mechanical clocks were designed to emulate the ~12 hr limitation of solar clocks. sinc solar clocks work only by day prior to mechanical clocks such things as candles were used to measure the hour at night (every hour indicated by a notch on the candle). These inventions that Predated mechanical clocks, were the ones that genuinely had a 12 hr limitation (depending on location on the globe, and time of year etc) since the 12 hour standard was so entrenched mechanical clocks simply provided what everyone wanted, a Solar clock compatable time keeping device, which was the 12 hr clock. Even into early americana, prior to the adoption of rail road time Solar clocks were still widely used by those who could not afford mechanical clocks.. and thus the 12 hour legacy is not a 'mechanical' limitation as your uninformed post implies. but rather a design limitation imposed by backward compatability to older technological standards.

um i've priced out the 'cheapest' beige box components, and frankly $150 isn't impossible to do for a fully crappy beige box system if you're running linux on it... X11 will probably run slow on such obsolete hardware, and hard disk space would be minimal, but the mac mini only has 40 gb anyways... but linux could do pretty much everything it could on said mac mini for less than 1/3 the cost if you were to go beige box... and FWIW there ARE mini PCs that are about as big as a mac mini on price watch, and shuttles (which take normal expansion drivers etc) start about 100 less with minimal configuration, of course you can pay a lot more for more power etc... yeah, the mac mini is Very competitive on price compared to IBM compatable book PCs but the flexibility of options is very limited. I can understand dual booting, but if you're just going to end up hacking the mini into some linux based car mp3 player, you've got much more flexibility with IBM compatables.

ahh so europe decide to launch their own gps satelite system, so that ships won't crash into the coast during a war. The US GPS system has a way of distorting data so that only US mil approved GPS devices will work, commercial GPS sytems will simply give innacurate readings, if they work at all. Frankly it makes sense to not want to be crippled in the event of a war, because Uncle sam says to take it backdoor and live ina stonage pre-GPS world because it's a WAR and the enemy could be using commercial GPS hardware. sounds like a hardware hacking project to me;) hacking a commercial GPS device to work with military 'distorted' signals.. what with the war in iraq, there is at least one part of the world where they've got GPS set to obfuscated mode;)
it is 640x480, and apparently was done by someone who doesn't know how/didn't want to bother to resize larger resoultion desktops to smaller image sizes. and it looks awful in 640x480, and yeah Ubuntu (at least the Live CD) tends to default to 800x600 or if it can't configure your graphic card to 640x480... so perhaps Ubuntu was mis-configured. I'm sure they've put a lot of work into it, but that it's very difficult for an end user to tell what has actually changed. what is signifigant is that this is a feature freeze, and that any new features will need to be impleneted in the next unstable release, and that only fixing existing bugs and vulnerabilities will be reasons for point releases in this release branch. Some distos will only use applications that have impleneted a feature freeze, so this will allow those distros to gradually incorperate this version, as it proves itself stable enough for use by those distros.
The problem is, leaving a high speed internet connection that is accessable via wireless open and unsecure is like keeping a note on your front door saying 'door unlocked, Loaded.45 gun in upstairs bedroom, right side nightstand drawer' It's not 'freedom' to Solicit passerbys that you've left your doors unlocked, and a loaded firearm where anyone can grab it.

how many people can install WINDOWS? just the other week I had to pull a hd out of a system and defragment the HD because the windows installer had locked up due to a 97% fragmented HDD... The person who did it, was trying to fix a slow computer issue by replacing her old windows ME with windows XP, the slowness was obviously due to disk fragmentation, although a quick scan for spyware found one spyware application that had come with a shareware screensaver. See, most people think they're technically savy --; when they've got reinstalling windows by themsleves to fix serious issues down pat. I had actually mentioned to the person that oftentimes windows needs to be defragmented when a computer slows down, and if that doesn't fix it it's probabbly spyware and she STILL tried to use an upgrade CD of windows XP to try to 'fix' a computer that only needed defragmenting. Installers are getting better, live CDs are great fyi the mirrors for ubuntu have live cds and live cd torrents. Literally as easy as popping in a CD and you can 'try' linux on a computer. True, the live CD isn't optimized for AMD 64 (they have an AMD 64 installer, though) but it should run in the 64's 32-bit mode anyways. not sure and I don't have a 64 around the house to test the live with :
Actually, they don't know it's stolen, until someone asks a retail clerk about where the last copy of London Calling is, and the computer indicates the store has 3 copies on hand, and a quick inventory realizes that a 5-finger discount has liberated said store of 3 copies of London Calling. I say 3 copies, because many stores down to a single copy will automatically reorder a copy, so as to avoid loss of sales due to out of inventory issues. This of course may hinge on unsold copies in a warehouse somewhere owned by said company, or a store with computer inventory records of 4+ copies of said title, which may invoke a redistribution of unsold copies to locations more likely to sell the merchandise etc... but the point is, the RIAA doesn't get additional revenue beyond the revenue they would have gotten for the cd just sitting in a warehouse somewhere until and unless demand dictates that the company orders aditional copies... and in the case of music, backorders are usually only performed on custormer request, at additional charge, and only when said warehouses/other retail locations have exhausted supply. But yeah, 5-finger discount has a lot lower risk/reward ratio vs digital piracy. let's see, $50,000 per song, or 5 days community service per CD stolen*... hell yeah 5-finger discount all the way!! *= unless you're in california, and the 3-strikes law applies to you. then 20 years to life... but that's california, and you need to have commited 2 felonies and been convicted too.
