This format is for music notation, which can contain many things that either are not contained in a control-based format (conductor-discretion items such as holds) or are not easily gleaned from context (crescendoes, block repeats, etc...).
Yes, it's a good time, as a fool and his money are soon parted. WTF are you doing that a 2.4 GHz machine won't keep up?
You've never tried radiosity rendering, have you? Or maybe a TV-res scanline render animation of a few seconds that includes anti-aliases ray-traced reflections? 2.4GHz is spittle.
Besides, how else is he going to be able to play Doom III at a decent framerate?:)

I've got it! I'll fool them all!
Okay, first I need to craft some codefiles of power. Some will be simple PHP scripts, others will be optimized assembler... I'll give 3 files to the wannabe geeks, browsing comics or rushing to see the latest LOTR film, pretending to see past the special effects and cool artwork to the underlying story. 5 for the plain-old geeks struggling to comprehend init levels. 6 script-bots for the gamer geeks in their basements of stone. 7 files for the alpha geeks with their x10 wired households. And 9... 9 files for the BOFH's, who above all else desire power over others.
But all of them will be deceived, for I will craft a master program that can exploit backdoors and security holes in all others, and into it I will pour my malice, my terribly-obfuscated C, my hatred for all geek posers.

Like an overused cliche my processes will spread across the internet, kill-9'ing those who would pretend to be a true geek. Th... ooo! New Ultimate Spiderman comic! *read* *read* *read*
Because, now that pages load faster than I can click, I get annoyed more quickly if a page takes slightly longer to load.
This is where tabbed browsing comes in handy. I have the middle mouse button set for "open in new tab" and have Mozilla set to load new tabs in the background.
I just middle-click my way through a page and by the time I'm done with that the first few tabs have loaded. When I'm done reading those the next few have loaded. I rarely ever have to just sit there and wait for a page to load anymore!
Slashdot, Fark, and Google News have become far more fun since I started browsing in this manner.
Egos can definitely get in the way of good science. Then you wind up with bad science. Bad science leads to angry robot minion armies. Angry robot minion armies will put a damper on anyone's day.
This has always baffled me. What, they couldn't spring for just a bit more RAM for a read-ahead buffer? How hard is it to work around a l'il itty-bitty pause? Geeze... technology these days... *grumble* *grumble* *harumph* *grumble*
I make about $17,000/year as an ASP.NET (AIGH! Shoot me now!) developer in Montana, and I was lucky to get this job (which I attribute to my finishing of this spec commercial [Quicktime Version]).

Actually, a LOGO scripting language for Gimp would be pretty cool... at least for the Geek Factor.
a new interface is never as intuitive as the old one you are used to

That doesn't stop my plans for a floating Bespin-style cloud city 5 km above the surface.
But the lack of atmosphere does.
Space pigeons?
Bewaaaaaaare the groove!...
The $99 price tag on the GameCube was what caused me to impulsively buy one a few months ago. Now I'm spending about 3 hours a day on Windwaker...
And then all those kids would have something safe to play with!

I think the main improvement would be smaller files at the same image quality.
I'm bettin' she's made of wood.
Okay, that does it. Hand over your Geek Card. We're revoking it. Here's your tie. Have a nice day.
Because he's right.

I've got that one beat: I had to teach myself how to use MS-DOS 2.1 (2.01? It's been so long...) when I was in third grade.
If everyone were bakers then who would grow the wheat?

I dunno, The tons of molten lava spewing into the air seemed like good visual evidence to me.
Who are you going to believe? Him or your lying eyes? Go! And never darken my pyroclastic clouds again!

Yeah! The kernel should be coded in INTERCAL, anyhow...
And how, exactly, is this problematical?
