    While the average life of a car is nearly 10 years, it's not so terribly uncommon to keep a car going for almost 20 years

    Maybe in US the average life of a car is "nearly 10 years". Here in Norway it's more than 15 years, and 30 years is not unusual to run a car, if not longer as long as it's not attacked by rust.

    Yeah, people were complaining about the cost and 95% of PS3 owners didn't use the PS2 function, so they cut it I've got tons of PS2 games, but I play them on my PS2, even though my PS3 would've played them as well.

    The "news" here is that there's actually a "major bucks" company involved here. From wikipedia: "It has annual sales of approximately US $14 billion and has been widely recognized as one of the top 5 contractors in Japan and among the top 20 in the world."

  11. Re:When to say enough? on Americans Less Healthy, But Outlive Brits · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I read somewhere that this has to do with religion... A religious person is more afraid of throwing in the towel than a non-religious person, as they are afraid of might be waiting for them in the afterlife.

    Even if it's "all congress" -- the Democrats can still claim responsibility for upswing. They already do: more jobs added in the last two years than during Bush's entire reign

    Really? The unemployment rate in November of 2008 was 6.9%. Today, it's at 9.6%. So are you telling me that -2.7% is ADDING jobs? Were you a math major?

    Did you read his post, or are you just commenting on things at random? He didn't say anything about the unemployment rate at all!

  22. Re:The entire platform needs to be revamped. on Is the ISS Really Worth $100 Billion? · · Score: 1

    Honestly, I think the entire ISS/Space Shuttle platform should be revamped. I think that the shuttle has a good niche, but I don't see a reason as to why the shuttle shouldn't stay in space, while allowing the crew to return in a capsule-based vehicle.

    Sure, if you leave out the costs of the damned thing, the niche is good. If you look at everything, it's just a big waste of money! You'd have to redesign the shuttle completely if you want it to stay in space. It's probably a lot cheaper to design a completely new space thug.

    I still don't understand where all this comes from. I've been using KDE4 since one of the later 4.2, and haven't had a single problem related to KDE itself. Could it actually be related to the distro guys, and not KDE itself?
