If you take APC or similar compile caches into account, I think you'll find that the gap is remarkedly smaller than you'd expect. It'll never close entirely, but given that I've seen 20x speedups on some pages, the benefit is huge.

I would very much agree, if I was convinced that there were still any of the original engineers left. I'm not a car guy, but if GM behaved even half like what I read in various threads here, I'd have been finding a better employer.
Still, maybe the right kind of buyer can lure some of them back in. I have no clue about how good Saab was apart from their generic imago, but I strongly subscribe to the idea of diversity in any environment.
Which seems to indicate that (most) large companies behave like cannibals. When there's no meat of their own kind available, cannibals will hunt whatever is easiest - in this case, customers.
Strictly speaking, you're right of course, but the general understanding is that a netbook should be a laptop that's very lightweight and small compared to what is a 'standard' laptop. This feature creep means that that gap is slowly closing, which kind of defeats the point of selling the things as a 'netbook'.
Of course. Microsoft's entire OS is based around the tenet that users are stupid and will make mistakes all the time, which the software should transparently correct for them.
And soon after, the border guard will also jump on the "deep inspection" hype bandwagon, marking a sharp increase in the sales figures of Crisco brand vegetable shortening.
Because sometimes you want to link to something that has more parameters than you can shake a very long stick at. Think of a google maps location url, for one thing.

Correct. District policy, however, apparently included providing the password to the mayor, and ONLY to the mayor. This is exactly what he did.
Funny, but also pretty accurate: space colonists, especially the first waves, are likely to be people who don't much care what they leave behind, and have little to lose.
Mr dikdik appears to thrive on other people's comments, as I noticed the same thing only yesterday: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1476556&cid=30422082
I'm on the MySQL user mailing lists, and believe me, some "users" aren't savvy enough to figure out that they're using the wrong table in a simple select. Honestly, the place feels like kindergarten at times.

I guess you haven't much been outside, lately.

It works exactly the same for bikinis, really.

I've been looking into my crystal ball, and I predict that the number of hot girls on the internet is going to drop to near-zero.
That's wat they call a honeypot ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeypot_(computing) ).
I suspect I'm not the first to do so, but let me nevertheless congratulate you on a very well-chosen username.
Sorry dude, it's a clear case of rule 34. Dura lex, sed lex and all that.

I especially liked the use of "constructive step".
