sad part is i just pre-ordered the openbsd 4.4 cd set... hah. im not sure if i should be proud or ashamed.
then again, i sometimes think im the last of the right-os-for-the-job heretics... openbsd on my firewall. solaris (with zfs) on my fileserver... mac os x on my main desktop... (i dabble in photoshop and video.. mostly failed fark contests. ha) and windows vista on my macbook pro (along side of os x of course)... because i do a lot of autocad/solidworks stuff on the side. my webserver runs gentoo..
i guess you could call me a glutton for punishment.
I am very impressed, your defenses on why you use what you do for your computing needs have foiled my plan to call you a fanboy/newb. It is like you already saw the attacks coming, and preemptively shot them down. You sir, have won three internets.
Only on slashdot would somebody mention the idea of carrying around a TRS-80 Model 100 as a solution to jotting down electronic notes on the go, much less get modded up for it. I think a PDA or such would be more practical, or just letting the laptop sleep/hibernate for near "instant-on" functionality.
The EU does not want you.
They will make a pain for you to get a work permit and if you have a funny sounding name you will be put in all kind of sinister lists and your laptop may be confiscated on arrival for no reason whatsoever.
If you are from a US state you can apply to companies in other US States (most big EU companies have big offices in the US) for internships, since guess what? You are legally entitled to do so.
I ignore which reasons you may have for thinking going to the EU now is such a good idea, from the professional point of view you can achieve the same or better development by applying to companies in the US. If you really must go to the EU you can join an EU company with the view to be relocated there eventually, or perhaps to travel there as part of your duties in a regular job.
I still do all the things that normal people my age do, but I stay up all night and spend all my free time at places like these, and sometimes I wonder why:P
The most I paid for any of them was $5 (and the ZX Spectrum was actually given to me - a guy I know in WoW heard about my collection and had it in his attic so he offered to mail it over).
I just had an epiphany, why am I reading this sort of bullshit when I'm 21 and near the peak of my youth? I've been here since age 13, and looking at myself, it is utterly despicable. I've wasted the best years of my life on the Internet.
I have noticed that with LEDs, they are brighter than a comparable halogen bulb + filter, but they do not light up the surrounding area as well. I have an LED lightbar on top of my vehicle (volunteer firefighter), and the lights are brighter, but compared to a halogen lightbar, it does not light up the area with red and white the same. It is definitely more visible though. That is why I think LEDs might be good for taillights and such, but probably not for headlights.
If you saw the turnover rates for dispatchers at 911 centers because of how stressful and poorly paying job it is, you would know why there is a training fee in there. I think it takes about six months to train a 911 dispatcher, and about six more months to a year for them to get good at it. They generally make about $10 / hr. where the median wage is about $15 / hr.
If I am going to deploy a large business network running on linux desktops, the last thing I want to do is research every bit of hardware going into the systems, when with windows or mac os x, all I have to do is look for the little sticker on the box.
I always wondered why the BSOD in Windows always said that to prevent damage to my computer, it has been shut down. Now I know, human error! It is not the fault of windows, but the fault of me.
That is what I figured. To the people that say they could put tin foil over the sensor and make it think there is a car there: There has been similar technology used in traffic lights for years. A bicycle will not trip the sensor, but a motorcycle or car will. It is a big metal detector, and can be adjusted for sensitivity.
Windex + Paper Towels on keyboard, screen, outside, and power cord. Then a bit of water on another towel to get rid of any residue from the windex. I don't do it because of germs, I do it because I don't like the feeling of an oily keyboard from sweaty, greasy hands.

If there is ever a time to mod something +6, Funny, this is it!

You can't click on the green text though! They are making this even more complicated! Oh noes! :'(

He wanted to lose weight though, not melt in the rain walking to bus stops and such.
People have been doing this as 2nd grade science projects for years:

I don't know about you, but I really think that potato chips don't have to be a by yourself food.
I mean, imagine, you can have a bag of chips in the middle of the table during a football game get together event
Going to a party and asked to bring something? A bag of potato chips does well. It's cheap, and you don't look like a mooch by coming in empty handed.
I really fail to see how your argument in that potato chips are a food for by yourself.

Yeah, he is so smug that he doesn't even have his headlights on in the dark rain. Talk about asking for it.

By the way, my mother is still alive.
I was told that my doctor asked told father that he had to choose between aborting me, or my mother dying.
He said he wanted both, and to not abort me.
As a former embryo, I would like the government to have made it law that I not be murdered.

MOD ME UP!
Uhm, what about the Ford Escape hybrid? It is pretty much everything you just talked about.
