...it's common practice to name the author. Somewhere near the top is nice. Yeah, I see that 'Vinge' occurs a few times toward the end, but to anyone who deeosn't know who Vernor Vinge is, this isn't particularly helpful, and it seems a bit disrespectful to the author.
Ugh. Sorry I have to explain it to you, but here it goes...
You said "My calculator hasn't had a battery charge in years."
And I replied (typos corrected) "You ever notice that little window on your calculator? The one with the solar panels in it?" Implying that your calculator has no batteries to charge,instead relying on solar power, as many calculators do. Yes, lame joke, but it certainly made sense. Get it yet?
Obviously, you have no business interacting with a windowing gui if the minor cosmetic differences between those 2 start menus are enough to make you consider XP a radically different interface.
Except for the parts that are EXACTLY the same. Which is most of them. What, you have a few different bitmaps for the widgets and some smoother animations and all of a sudden it's completely different? Please. Keyboard shortcuts all work the same way. Right-click menuing still works the same way. Opening desktop icons still works the same way. Copy and paste still work the same way and are consistent throughout the OS.
Some must be wrong, therefore it is possible that all but one are wrong.
Possible, but more likely is that they're all wrong, including the belief that they are all wrong. Embrace the contradiction and you find your arms pass through it like smoke. When the smoke lifts, you can see a bit further.

I can't tell if that's a pun or a mispelling.

Seriously, get that humor detector looked at.
Suing. Seig Heil.

Someone needs to keep Yog-Sothoth company. Every time they let a human near it, the poor shmuck's mind gets pulped.
...that was fucking funny.
Good plan. Let's fuck the jeebus right out of 'em. All we need is an army of tantric sex warriors.
Or did you?
Don't forget Bruce Sterling's Holy Fire. One of his best.
Or, click this.
So there's no software in those virtual analogs, eh? Neat trick.
I'd say that as a virtual analog synth manufacturer, access is both.
If X has an effect on something observable, X is observable by inference.
I can't tell you how many nights' sleep I've lost over this.
Hey Fucko, The Polish aren't a race, they're a nationality.
What, you don't get weekends off?
It's like derived, only more so.

Um, it isn't whether or not it's released in nature, it's whether or not it's used as fuel, i.e. burned. Duh.
Yes, though not suddenly. This has always been wrong.
You typed The Internet rather than "The Internet", which yields somewhat different results.
