I for one, am not interested in the tamagotchi you have described. If I am to play a game, I prefer to invest time in gaining real skill in my brain in terms of hand-eye coordination, training my memory, or solving interesting puzzles, than to have an artificial set of records telling me what my "skills" are.
What's the point of this other than to try to put the name "Vista" in the grave?
Ubuntu on the computer I am posting from, but I did use Windows on my laptop before wiping it
Did you actually use Vista, or are you one of the many individuals that rats on it due to third-hand accounts, unfairly perpetuating and overinflating Vista's bad name?
Even if you don't use the powerfully unnecessary elements of C++, it is still a pain to use with all the header files and #define etc. Header files were good back in the day with slow computers, but these days we have IDEs that compile as you type and you can get a header-file-like overview of your classes in real-time.

3. Good question, the answer is no. Opera is fast, Chrome hangs like Saddam Hussein whenever I try to use youtube... after which I stopped using it due to Chrome being so damn slow. I'd prefer to use Firefox for the speed... and that's saying something.
I just did the acid3 test on my Opera browser and it got an 83/100... so why doesn't it render correctly so many pages that IE7 renders correctly? Many times I have to switch to IE7 just to render a page correctly. I say that Acid3 is a complete farce, just a nice little smiley face test that is completely unrepresentative of the pages actually out there in the interwebs.
Note: I keep using Opera because it's super fast and has many more useability features, and I can just switch to IE7 if I get into trouble anyway.
"the company takes a laser scanning rig to each racetrack it intends to simulate, documenting the tracks at millimeter resolution to produce 3-D 'bump maps' that enable the software to reproduce the behavior of cars passing over the surfaces more accurately. 'Next is the modeling of the tires and how they behave at various angles, pressures, and temperatures'"
I've played iRacing during it's invitation period, and I have to say that although it feels amazing at speed, there are components that don't feel right. Such as, from a standing start it is impossible to spin the wheels, even when red-lining in neutral and quickly shifting to 1st. Personally, netkar pro has a more realistic physics feel to it (although I've never raced real cars).
Yeah, it's a way they can justify the ridiculously high price, you pay at least $13 a month for the subscription in addition to purchasing cars and tracks over your initial set of 2 cars and 7 tracks.
What are you talking about? They are allowed, you can pay $10 for the article. This is pretty cheap for an article. Universities and research organisation have to pay for the subscriptions. Can you go to a bookstore and lift a book of the shelf and just walk out without paying? Maybe you think the music industry is elitist requiring you to pay $1 for each song?
Also, many scientists have their own versions of submitted papers on their website, if they are allowed, which you can download and read. It is the publisher of the paper that makes the rules and you have to follow them when you sign away the copyright for publication. Some publishers require you to pay hundreds of dollars as an author to be able to put your paper on your website for others to freely download. So don't give me that "scientists are elitists" bullshit.
People interested in science enter research careers and have access from their universities or research organisations. People who are not scientists but are interested in science will use these resources for entertainment purposes, not to advance the body of knowledge. To this end, you do not need to subscribe, you can purchase the article for US$10.
Try counter strike, or if you like character development: team fortress 2 (with unlockable weapon acheivements). Jump in, play for 20 minutes, and jump out... the time it takes to travel between some cities in WoW let alone start playing (grinding) the game.
Change six... very very good point. Linux is open source software, and if you want linux to succeed but don't have the technical knowledge to improve the kernal or write software for it, then "open source" your ability to help other people get accustomed to linux. The idea is to make linux popular and your contribution in terms of open support can go a long way to acheiving this.
Cats definatelly increase emissions. My mum has two of them, and they stink the laundry up when their litter is full. Cats can be expensive, but she got hers for free off a friend, and yes, in Australia you aren't required by law to own one. I don't know about cats getting hot enough, sure my mum's are female, but their still too young for that stuff.

Except isn't the language in Barcelona Catalan and not Castellano (Spanish)?
Anyone read the paper? Perhaps the auto-generation software is so good that it actually came up with something...

Why is everyone so hung up on an energy-positive reaction? Antimatter is the ultimate in fuel for space-propulsion
Why is everyone so hung up on space-propulsion? Anything that you put a battery or fuel into will run almost forever.

On many systems the updates http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940510 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931573 can cause a lot of problems.
Hmmm, I can't get to that link. It just says "Blocked by EFA".
I 'cuiled' you, like you said complete name without quotes, and the first link that came up was an entire wiki page devoted to you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_Coward

Simply make Pg Up and Pg Dn scroll an "inexact" amount of lines, ie, every 4 billion presses make it scroll 1 extra line in a random direction.

I heard (from an architect) that during the time that Caves of Steel was written, having huge cities in one building was a quite popular concept.

Good idea. I for one would prefer to go solid state.
