'People see [Dell] as dishonorable disingenuous box-pushers.'
There, fixed that for you. There's a few "caps" I'd like to put in Dell's ass, and they know the ones I mean because they have Dell's name on them already.
Even at her advanced age, Jamie Curtis is still a damned sight more attractive than Consumer Watchdog's president Jamie Court. How addled does a mind have to be to confuse the two?
Turn the ISS into a gift shop and sell all the bits of junk as souvenirs on eBay, Craigslist, and the Shopping Network. The shipping cost will be a bitch but people will buy it anyway just to be the first on their block with *that* on their mantle (or in their front yard).
Siwwy Wabbit... you wouldn't try to resize THAT one anyway, you'd resize the partition of an actual operating system like, say... Windows? That WAS the point after all, right, to get more than one operating system on there? How big is a recovery partition anyway? That's right: they're tiny and inconsequential; trying to resize one to make space for an actual working operating system would be an exercise in stupi... errr, futility.
The point of the resizing would be to make space for another extended partition, not another primary one. As I noted elsewhere in this discussion, Linux and certain other operating systems can be installed into and booted from logical volumes in extended partitions.
You CAN have more than four primary partitions, though... sorta: BootIt Next Generation.
You're only partially correct about the limitation: normally MBR disks are limited to four PRIMARY partitions. The limit on non-primary (extended) partitions is a bit more generous. Further, some operating systems are able to boot from extended partitions, including Linux. In the specific instance you lamented, then, you could have left ALL the partitions (if you resized one or more) and simply installed Linux into a new extended partition. I have done exactly that myself more than once.
If you want more than four primary partitions, I know of at least one method to get them: BootIt Next Generation.
And here I thought I knew my geography! I've heard of East Asia, I've heard of Southeast Asia, but I've never heard of Euthan Asia... where the hell is that and why does it have its own church?
Ok, so what if 1% of all people on the planet just dropped dead? That would be over 60 million people.
That would be a measurable win for global warming, pollution, species extinction, deforestation, you name it... and I don't think it's politically incorrect to point it out. It might be off topic, though.

True evil is always Undead.
*chuckle* You certainly have THAT meme nailed down tight.
That's a non sequitur, and you know it! Beck is one of the undead, so you can't apply the same rules to him.

Hey, those lenses are dirt cheap, only $1,000 to $1,500, so how expensive can the camera be?
I think I prefer your interpretation. Let the liquefaction begin.
I'd like to be in the viewing audience when they liquidate Darl.
Well, sure, if you opt for the air freight shipping....

You mean there's people who are so un-savvy that they're still using folders, rather than custom views or saved searches?
You could solve that in Thunderbird with a tag applied after sending and a custom view or search folder. No need to involve Google at all.
PopFile.
Been there, done that... and without the privacy concerns this will engender.
Go get PopFile and do the same thing completely local in private, then. Tinfoil hat not included, you'll have to fold your own.
Ah, so PopFile's generalized classification system lives again, reanimated in another body?

You might be interested to hear of a new feature people are calling "partition resizing". It's all the rage... since about the Millenium.

That can be arranged.
