Why is that amazing? I ran Windows 2000 from November 1999 to November 2006, when the harddisk failed. I may have had at most a dozen blue screen of deaths, in total, despite near daily use. I use XP at work and never had many BSODs there either; except for my laptop where it is more frequent, as in every two months or so.
I use Linux at home since late 1998 and have no real complaints there either; it may stall once in a while, but no real crashes. I haven't touched a Mac since 1993, and have no real incentives of doing that either; but I do recall a cartoon bomb when the machine stalled.
I would like to buy 64-bit Vista, but will wait until there is DirectX 10 supported SLI(nVidia) or CrossFire(AMD/ATi) configurations. I don't expect it crash any more frequently than the others, but maybe I'm wrong and should expect that....

Sorry, but I'm am not sure I understand the writing "12:01 am". In my world 12:01 is either one minute after noon or midnight.In my world "am" is between midnight and noon. But I just don't get it what happens when you combine them!
11:01 am is about one hour before noon, during midday. 11:59 am is one minute before noon, also midday. But, 12:00 during midday is that "pm" or "am"? I would guess "am", but I'm not sure. Can you really say thing like 16:00 pm?! I thought that is a tautology, as 16:00 is always pm by definition as would 12:01 pm be. So, my guess is midnight (and as it is a Harry Potter book) and that they try to avoid the midnight double zeros in the more technically correct "00:01 am", but...
I read all remarks before replying. I had planned to infer the same.
But, there are other giants interested in databases too. IBM and Microsoft to names the largest. So, it wouldn't be cheap at all. 30 billion USD?
The reason? Because any performance penalty like that could be had over linux just as well well, and then just as bad, albeit with literally 15000+ additional programs for free.
I had to buy a computer anyway. Three of my computers went down in November. So, putting one Debian together from the leftovers still won't play my children's large collection of Windows-based games, in part inherited from me.
Well, good question. My answer today would be, don't trust the quick answers from armchair astronomers at Slashdot who don't know how to interpret what they read at Wikipedia.
"Ok, I don't get it. What's the point? I thought the closer to the equator the better".
No, not necessarily so. From wikipedia:
Spaceport: Typically preferred are launches from near the equator in an easterly direction. This allows maximum use of the Earth's rotational speed, and a good orientation for arriving at a geostationary orbit. The rotational boost increases the amount of mass that can be lifted to a given orbit with a given amount of fuel. For polar or Molniya orbits, these aspects do not apply.
Molniya Orbit: Molniya orbit is a class of a highly elliptic orbit with inclination of 63.4 and orbital period of about 12 hours. A satellite placed in this orbit spends most of its time over a designated area of the earth, a phenomenon known as apogee dwell.
I doubt it was Kiruna's commercial airport that attracted.
While little known outside Sweden, and definitely unheard of in USA, Franse, and Russia, Sweden has launched space rockets since 1966 in a station called Esrange. They apparently hope to sky rocket their already impressive launch list.
Missing option - SCO!
No-one has mastered their circle strafing in the court dungeons of Utah. State-of-the-Art! Unfortunately they have never played their games on PunkBuster secured arenas.
And, in line with the growing corporate presence of community software it seems RedHat's mindshare is falling, relative to Fedora... Is there an easy explanation?!
Of course one must be careful. But, that was not Lamarckism or environmental determinism suggested. Just that it would just probably require the presence of cow/goat milk drinking, as appears to have be the case with occasional periods of famine/starvation.
The first of your examples is confounded by that more people in the world than Africans have dark skin and that heat as such may not be the agent here, rather ultraviolet radiation. But perhaps that was your intention, exemplifying 'crap science'. The lactose tolerance can be seen as another example where totally different cultures have responded similar to the same exposure, in the case here milk drinking.
Your second example has never been supported in any recent study as far as I know and the old 'studies' had an agenda, so to speak. 'The mismeasure of man' is a well written book on the subject.
In the case of north western Europe (Scandinavians et al.) the severe winter may have acted as the arid climate of the Masaï.
If your harvested crops didn't last the winter, and you couldn't tolerate that cup of milk, you were at risk. Other cultures in the north may not have had that strong link to cow/goat farming and therefore never received this lactose tolerance.
This device is fairly well known by now. Google generates 455.000 hits on the Antikythera and has more than 800 images, including a 2005 X-ray image at Wikipedia.

"If vista scales all the way to 4"
j pg
h readid=656242%5D
What do you mean? 64-bit Vista scales to 1000 Gigabyte (1TB). 32-bit Vista? Probably just 2 GB.
Here is a warning message "Too little memory" using 2GB with Vista and trying to play "Company of Heroes"

How about:

QuickTime hasn't run on Linux in a long time.
Apple, please port your apps to Linux first, and _then_ complain about Vista not waiting for you.

I wonder how many of all these announced games, including alan wake, which will end up using DirectX 10.1.
Possibly they are more than anyone cares to admit, today only few days after Vista's launch into the land of no DirectX 10.0 games in sight...

So, forgive me, I'll buy Vista.
Thanks for the correction!

In a previous post you posed: "Why ask Slashdot when you can ask Wikipedia?"

It used to work fine for g.o.a.t.s.e. .cx
But, maybe it gives too bad vibes for pr0n viewers too.
Yes, minus thirty degrees Celsius IS cold cold cold. Where I live we have it every five, ten winter or so. Standard is minus ten to minus five.
:)
In the spring, and when the temperature rises to minus five, your hormones go banana and you're in a constant smile and all the girls are beautiful!
and give you 30.48 cm:s where it hurts.
(yadayadayadayada, 30.48 cm equals not only what you thought, but also one foot, i.e. 12 inches)

I guess very few would buy a Playstation 3, in March, in northern Europe at least. People have their focus on SUMMER then!
In other words, September is fine.
