In my experience, the only sure fire way to have a disk fail is to place any piece of important, but un-backed-up, work on it
Maybe this is some obscure evidence that there is an "importance" attribute to a quark. Following entropy, too much "importance" causes a destabilization of the quantum structure and the drive fails.
Cancelling your credit cards may hurt your credit rating. Your credit rating has an effect on what interest rates you pay and how much you pay for insurance.
What is neat, or not so neat depending on your point of view, are music files which deteriorate after a while. I don't know how they are made, but I have listened to music that sounds pretty good, but after the 10th playing it starts skipping.
These are zoot files. Every once in a while, they skip a groove.
Well, on the topic of great sounding distros, How about naming one "Cthulhu" (barring any existing copyright issues). Bonus would be the slogan, "Cthulhu Linux, it'll suck your face off."
What percentage of car owners are driving cars built in the early '80s?
comparing the shuttle fleet to consumer automobiles is disingenuous. A much more honest, but not perfect example is commercial aircraft. With proper maintenance, aircraft are kept flying for decades.
"For the past two years or so, Voyager 1 has detected phenomena unlike any encountered before in all its years of exploration. These observations and what they may infer about the approach to the termination shock have been the subject of on-going scientific debates. While some of the scientist believed that the passage past the termination shock had already begun, some of the phenomena observed were not what would have been expected. So the debate continues while even more data are being returned and analyzed."
I'll be Captain Obvious here and ask, "Shouldn't we be careful with everything we read?" And I'm not specifically talking watching out for deception, but also technical errors, typos and general laziness. Like that cookie recipe that called for 2 cups of flour and a tablespoon of salt. Blech!

Let me guess, if one gets hurt, is it only a flash wound?
Yes, we should encourage the PR people to join the middle managers, hairdressers and telephone sanitizers on an extended intergalactic vacation.
An activist judge is one who rules in favor of decisions which which you disagree more often than rules in favor of decisions with which you agree.
From what I see, an activist judge is one who disagrees with your opinion.
Man, I haven't been to dack.com since before the dot bomb. I loved his take on the stock market.
What's next? "Boy eats own head"?
Have you seen Silence of the Lambs?

Lets work on issues like Inuit's security issues
;)
Which Inuits' security issues? Losing traditions? Housing? Jobs? Global warming?
Probably won't matter. Even if you're able to set up shop there, the feds would come in and say "All your base are belong to us."
1/3 else?
OS/2 of course!
It will make a comeback in 20 years and I'll be able to play Duke Nukem Forever on it.

Copied verbatim. Nice. What do we call dupes from other sites without credit? Oh, yeah, plagiarism
Your nickname wouldn't be Powder, would it?
No, I'd say it is anguish
Grew up in NY. Has day light savings time. Never hit by car.
Don't you know? "asfdhfjewrtwsdfsdfgt" was one of the names that Mandrakesoft was going to change Mandrake Linux to.

Frankly, Voyager is useless now
Useless?

There's a quote I heard a long time ago, "Don't ask a millionaire how he made his first million."
From reading the review I'd figure on a 2. Maybe 3 tops. Makes me think of the New England's Phantom Gourmet reviews:
"Atmosphere of a stable. Entrees resemble low grade dog food. Phantom Gourmet give is a 7!"
I've got an iMac G5. I use a USB two button scroll mouse. No problem.
