As a Russian citizen I have to admit that as long as USD is the only universal international currency you figure is somewhat meaningless. You can just print more money, and what are we gonna do really?
You card is what, 5-6 years old? I have an ancient 9800 pro card somewhere in the attic. How is OSS support for current and prev generation cards? 5870/4870?
I think he understands it more than you do. 90%+ of internet is anonymous porn and spam. There was a post by some guy in a different topic, he ran a TOR exit node for a while but quit in disgust after learning what people used it for. It wasn't Chineese dissidents using it, it was kiddie porn. Not sure about HTTP but email protocols should use identity verification right now, you send a letter to me - you prove that you are who you say.
I think there are two kinds of sexism. First can be categorized as general rudeness/social immaturity exhibited by young males, often longing for female attention. The second kind if more dangerous, it is the kind of ingrained sexism in an all-boys club setting with an unspoken glass celling. Luckely, I believe the second kind is largely not present in FS development. Generally speaking you can not buy high status with money or good looks, or poweful parents, social connections or a stack of PH.D diplomas. The barrier of entry is comically low and what counts is how well you can code and interact with other team members.
If you percieve the whole groups sexist because of one person you gonna have a very hard life ahead of you, because I can hardly think of a single professional group from catholic nuns to nuclear physisists who don't have that 1 sexist person. I also don't like your idea of collective punishement pushed to the whole group, FS develoeprs are not a state, an ethnic group or a registered professional organisation and noone really speaks for all of us.
The fan maybe quiet, but it's very ineffective. I loaded coretemp and was truly scared of what i saw. 60 C+ temperatures for both cores when idle. My Q9550 overclocked to 3.4 ghz with good cooling idles at 41 C. Most overlockers don't recommend getting your cores over 70 C, so if mac mini idles at 60 it will probably easily hit 80 C under load.
Congratulations for solving one of the more obscure Hilbert problems! And since there is no Nobel prize in mathematics please accept the Nobel peace prize instead ! You invitation should arrive shortly.
Does Linus work for free? Do developers at RedHat, Mysql, and more work for free? I see you have fallen for MS propaganda, this is not an issue of free vs commercial, it's free vs proprietary. MS VS Express is free as in beer yet proprietary while RedHat Server is free as in speech yet comemrcial.
Those of us who were born before Twitter remember the chain of horrible wrongdoings by MSFT, many of them indeed in the 90s, that in more hounorable countries people kill themselves with sharp objects for. If MSFT truly repented they wouldn't try to subvert the Free Software movement by launching with great fanfare their own version of open source or shared source, as a late comer to the party they would have quetly started releasing stuff on sourceforge, hoping to some day earn forgiveness. But, hell, maybe I just don't understand the USA, after all this is the country where a discraced preacher can write a book, sign a movie deal and come back to his occupation after having been caught cheating with a hooker in a nude bars toilet.
Are you saying that dvd's sold in poor regions are sold at a loss, like a charity? If not, and they are still making a profit then why not offer the same low price in first world countries? being greedy is not a virtue.
Great achivement! You managed to achieve somwhat acceptable framerates in a game based on 2004 source engine. Now try that with resident Evil 5 or Batman:AA at 1920x1080. My gtx295 setup has been worth every penny and still there are games that can not be played with full graphic detail and 16AA at good resolutions.
Why should some rich Western countries who already have nuclear weapons get together and decide who can enage in nuclear technology them or who can't. I'm proud that my own country despite major political pressure from the West block has completed the contract for building the peaceful Busher nuclear power station and is continuing to engage in peaceful nuclear cooperation with Iran. Iran has never attacked a foreign country, Iran is not ruled by mad suicidal clerics, Iran is a great country of 70 million people with a unique culture, a unuque brand of eastern democracy sometimes not compatible with the West. Yes we need less weapons, we need denuclearization but you current rulers are too in bed with the military-industrial complex, they are powerless, we need more grassroot movements, more conferences and commitees for all peace loving ordinary people from the West and East to come together and learn from each other. CIA has killed Samantha Smith but they will never kill the peace loving spirits of our peoples!
I for one is glad that there is atleast one vendor left who is stylus friendly, taking off my gloves to use the capacitive touchscreen when it's -45C outside (pretty much 4 month a year) is not a very attractive proposition for me.
I don't understand. Cops still carry their regular lethal weapons exactly because tazers and such are useless in a situation when the cop would be authorized to use deadly force.
Post your pics on the internets - don't expect people shit roses on you. They are butt ugly, anyone can see it and while I'm polite enough not to say it to their face and ruin their moment, I don't see anything wrong with telling the truth anyone can seee on an unrelated bbs post-factum.

From what I've read in international news, several US states, including California and Michigan can not pay their civil servants.

There is no hope. The Earth is doomed.
You'd let your CFO talk to you like that???? Hey, CFO, how about two in the chest abd one in the head?? Ok,ok, I'm fine with Linux and Open office!

Maybe, after they get better than 0.1% good chip rate.

People like you is the reason why your country is sliding towards idiocracy. Don't eat the Ipod Shuffle (c), indeed.
Are you mad? 50C coffee is barely lukewarm and is disgusting to drink. Just as the wiki page says true coffee lovers drink it immediatly at 90C+.
Normal people != rich Americans

Mental note to self - always encrypt email.
If this ever makes it to 4chan your life WILL be ruined forever. Just pray it doesn't.
