Ubuntu: I have installed Ubuntu multiple times and every time it installed with no issues, except once when I muddled around with the settings before letting it do its thing. It is the only distro I've found that sees my nic in my laptop with no effort on my part. I am extremely happy with it and plan on putting it on my main computer as soon as I can justify a new HDD. Libranet: I saw that I had to pay for it and wondered why I should, when Ubuntu is so nice for free?

Yes, I have, but so far I've always been able to clsoe the page and find the info elsewhere. If the info was only available on that site, I lived withouth the info.
The less places you can get a piece of information, the less useful and truthful that information is anyway.
You were modded funny, but I've been using ELinks (Which is a beefier version of Lynx) for about 6 months now at work and it has 2 benefits:
1) No ads. Only google ads do I see, because google's ads are in text. 2) Everybody at work thinks I'm working because my terminal looks like a dos screen.
I consider myself an above-average user, and I've never even downloaded a desktop search program. I don't use the search on my windows start menu, so why should I download a program that will do it better? Like so many others, I of course keep my files at least fairly organized so I can find what I want without resorting to a search 99% of the time.
Yes, except in this one, Greedo is shot by a bystander, by accident, right before he shoots Han Solo (who, in this version, is against all weapons, not just light sabers).
I assume that was a misspeak, perhaps translation error, that they would sell both for a bit more than you could buy one OR the other, not slightly more than if you bought both.
Still not a great deal. Considering most people don't want two versions of the same movie. For $5 more, I'll sell you Star Wars on BOTH dvd AND vhs! What a bargain!
Just because it took longer to type for windows (a bad thing, imo) doesn't make it any harder to get your grandma from running it. Hell, you could probably figure out a way to put that in a clickable link that IE would run without prompting.

I can't imagine buying a game from a local store unless I had a gift card or something. The last time I tried to buy a game (UT2K4) locally, every place I went either didn't have it, had only one version (dvd instead of cd was popular), for pennies off what it was when it was brand new, but marked on sale (when online retailers were selling it for ~30). They rip their customers off, I buy from someone who doesn't.
If the stratellite is kept REALLY still, they could use directional "rays" of waves (Actually, they could do it even if it jostled around a bit, but not as accurately). So someone a couple [dozen|hundred] miles from you could be using your exact frequency an neither of you would ever know.
You are, of course, right. The number didn't look right (hence the disclaimer and the different way of looking at it).
More insterestingly (at least to me), at dawn and dust, these things would, for a while, be brigher than the sky (becasue they would be in the sunlight while most of the sky would not). So you'd have a "morning star" and an "evening star" that stays in the same spot, forever.
Of course, they'll likely paint it to look like the Pepsi logo or something.
My previous comment (which was a joke, thoguh it sounds a bit more mean spirited than I'd intended) aside, I think this would work in the correct game. Say, MMOGTA or something.
You'd have to seriously rethink (or more likely abandon) the idea of leveling and posessions, though./goes to RTFA.
It's 65,000 feet in the air, and is (From TFA) 245 feet on the long diameter.
That's about.00006 (if I did the math right) degrees across. In case I did, it would be the same relative size as a 6 foot guy 1600 feet (About a quarter mile) away.
IOW, if its shadow covers your house, you should be more concerned about your house than the shadow:D
I'm all for learning history from a video game, but really, that's not the point of AOE. I mean, the only realistic part of AOE is that you have to keep giving people orders or they'll laze around doing nothing. I would have loved, in high school history class, to have been able to play a realistic campaign game of whatever period of history I was learning. If those games exist now, I would buy them. But just because game has a historical theme doesn't mean that it's going to be accurate.
I was the FP and I tried the site before posting, and it was already slashdotted. I can't imagine many of us getting a "hefty" download before it died for a torrent to be available.

The fact he has never studied any of these things is what disqualifies him.
Kind of like how Bush isn't qualified to be commander in chief?

64-bit Windows will handle 16 terabytes of virtual memory, as compared to 4 GB for 32-bit Windows.
16 terabytes! That oughta be enough for anybody!
No one will ever see this, but I can do this without changing word order:
It *just* works.

It is hypocritical for this guy to keep bringing this idea up again every time it gets killed.

No, it just gives them another reason to charge you a TV license if you have a computer in your house.

I love the 3rd mission the best, where it is "implied" that you give the food to a local tyrant so they can sell it for guns.
