If a console fit into a rack and another one didn't this would be a huge consideration into which one to buy. Especially since they both probably have a selection of crappy games.
> What about the people that didn't vote for anyone serving on the school board? What about people that didn't vote at all, and don't have kids in school and so they don't have any "personal stake" in the school system?
They should have voted. If they(or their landlord) pay taxes they have a personal interest.
your school was easy. In my school it was immediate expulsion. Yes it was a public school. Yes it was in a large city. After you got expelled you got to go to a crapy school where they put all the expellees.
If it's anything like 3 was when it came into the kernel please leave it out. 3 was only let into the kernel because reiser bitched and bitched, but it was unstable and buggy. I have been much happier with ext3.
ok, so java is slow in the gui. You certainly aren't finding any programs that rely on heavy computation written in java. So all you have left is ?????
Java is slow.
The only time this is ok is when speed doesn't matter so much.
We need a contest on the best worst use of mathematics and/or statistics. That way we can poke fun back at those snotty English majors. The problem is that the contest is probably oversaturated.
Why would any one expect apple to put out a good mouse?
I used to go to the apple computer at my work and get pissed of at the hockey puck mouse. My hand would quickly loose directionality. I need then to look at the mouse reorient and that would work for another minute.
Well after that mistake they decided we didn't need mice buttons so the whole mouse moves. Instead of a simple finger click the whole arm has to move and release preasure off the back of the mouse, thus requiring a change in clicking technique for the worse. I can move a finger faster than an arm.
> A subwoofer so powerful it could loosen fillings, shake out the cholesterol from arteries and generally make a lot of noise.
Not quite. It's only a 300Watt RMS 12 inch woofer. I have more power than that in my car and a similar one as part of my home theater. If it was an 15 or some sort of advanced tech I might start to get impressed. But this thing won't do much in the subsonic range.
before worrying about usablity they should worry about functionality, I don't care how usuable a pdf viewer is if it renders incorectly to the point of being useless.
Is this still considered funny by anybody? Yes Our current President, who is obviously neither computer-savvy nor a particularly eloquent speaker, accidentally plurals the word "internet" once, and suddenly a thousand FARKers and Slashbots seem to think they are being clever when they mimic him.
Do you really think that the president does that by accident? If so then he's a fucking moron.
If not, then he is trying to sound like a fucking moron, so that he can appeal to all the fucking morons. Remember 50% if the population is below average intelligence.
If he's trying to sound like a fucking moron, then he's basically making fun of his voters and they don't even get it.
Worse still, are you one of those annoying fucks who likes to call US residents "merkins"?
No they live in the south, and generally have little educated.

Unless you have a theory that is able to predict more that evolution.
Sorry, you failed it.

The best video game soundtrack was in rock n roll racing for the snes. Any time ozzy is on the soundtrack is a good thing.
I think reiser 4 should be delayed untill it's ready this time, instead of burning a bunch of users, like 3 did.

I hope it would normally work better than this.

so how is this better than c++?
Gui response speed does matter, and memory usuage also matters, not everyone has a gig of ram yet.

Though with politicians you could combine the contests.

Or you can usually email the author, most proffs are happy to send you a pdf.
I guess it just depends on your technique, but if you firmly rest the back of your palm on the mouse there is no way to click it.

I wonder how crappy their next mouse will be.

you mean, take half an hour to not be able to find a decent movie. All so you can interact with some pimply faced teen. Yeah that's much better.
you don't need a super engine to be scary. Resident Evil was scary way back in the day.
it missrendered all the math notation that latex produces. Which made it completly useless last quarter.
