I'm guessing that you're a runner and you're lucky to have the necessary dopamine production in your brain to motivate you to do so. The people here who are criticizing the benefits of exercise have probably never tried it and are probably talking out of their asses. Unfortunately for them, it's very difficult to get started because ironically, dopamine production is dependent on good nutrition and exercise.
I've done both, run and not run and when I don't run, I feel like shit and I'm depressed. It's hard to believe that people can live that way.
Short story. I started to play chess about 1½ years ago and my rating for the first month was between 900 and 1000. I'm now rated at about 1450 and have progressed much faster than the people I play with who are interestingly not physically active. I don't have any special abilities nor do I spend an extraordinary amount of time learning chess - certainly no more than anyone else in the club.
I believe that my ability to learn quickly can be attributed to my healthy lifestyle. I run 60 - 120 km per week and eat very nutritious food.
Perhaps but there's always Cairo which runs on many platforms and seems to do a good job. There's a succinct description on Wikipedia. Some of the popular projects using it are GTK+ (GNOME), Firefox and WebKit.
Who said anything about cheating?
Sure, it's an obvious joke but it was word for word with matching caps on "CAN" so a link would have been nice but then again, this is Slashot 2.0 and the vocal few aren't so nice.
Actually the AutoCAD for Windows install CDs should do just fine.
We thought this would be a stumbling block but it turned out to be the opposite - not only did we get AutoCad R14 running on Debian GNU/Linux within 24 hours but it actually ran faster! Can you believe that?
Yep, we gathered all the IT staff that we could, programmers, operations, qa, managers etc. and just finished repairing, in about 8 hours about 1000 systems. I estimate the our company lost between $150,000.00 to $200,000.00.
Since upgrading, I've been having a problem [launchpad.net] where x.org sometimes fails to start up when I boot.
Actually, X does start but I there's a run condition in their Upstart configuration that sometimes cause the the VT to stay on the VT1. You can just press [ctrl] [alt] [F7] to get to the X session for now.
Resource usage is higher per capita in the USA but that wasn't the point. I was talking about non-renewable resource availability. We live in a closed system so with our current technology, we can't produce gold for example, we must mine it and once it's all used up, we have to find an alternative. Anyway the film is worth watching but I guess you won't know that until you watch it so quite the conundrum. I say, take a chance, live a little. The Slashdot crowd will forgive you for the absence.
Microsoft is at it again. Comparing their alpha software to released software all the while forgetting to mention that the competitors are implementing the kind of thing. Hey Microsoft, you're not the innovation leaders here so stop pretending that you are.

Yes, we understand all of that. The problem for me, especially in the movie and television industry, is that an actor can be paid $1,000,000.00 for a 20 minute episode (Seinfeld, I'm looking at you) and $20,000,000.00 for a movie. That's outrageous and it shows how overpriced their product is. The music industry is the same. Does an artist really need to make millions for an album? Same thing with professional sports, $10,000,000.00 per year to play a sport! I don't feel bad for these people at all. They all got paid way more than they deserve.
Music should be no more than a penny per song, tv shows 1$ per season and movies no more than a quarter. And even at those prices, they'd all be millionaires.
It's time to build a dedicated open-source GUI/CRUD browser[1] that can handle desktop, MDI, data grids, tree controls, and CRUD-like applications with grace. No more bending and kicking the eBrochure paradigm to act like real desktops. JavaScript was not meant to be a systems language and DOM was not meant to be a desktop-like nor CRUD GUI.
XUL was started years ago. It does everything that you ask and hey there's even a proof of concept that you download called Firefox.

If it wasn't Pac Man, they would have been playing around with something else. No extra time was lost.
I completely agree. Our society has been infected with a diseases. http://vimeo.com/10707453

I couldn't agree more.

Ha! A polite and intelligent response. Thank you, much appreciated.
Yes I am. Now get off my lawn!
Possibly but credit is important to me whether it's a stupid joke or some grand scientific discovery so I'll speak up whenever I can.
lol, nice.

How about VMWare?
Maybe one of these might work for you? http://www.tech-edv.co.at/lunix/CADlinks.html

Actually the Ogg/Theora videos look really good.

LOL. Are you saying that if I move to Japan, earth's resources will magically become more abundant?
It doesn't matter where we live on the planet, the resources will remain the same.

Of course it's a Microsoft API, it's on a Microsoft OS! No irony there.
Microsoft is implying that they're the only game in town using the API in their browser and they're not. That was my point.

No it doesn't. Not in real world anyways.
Well said. My feelings exactly.
