My point is this: does your opinion of Palin's intelligence have ANY basis other than her looks? Do you think she's stupid because she thought the US and France got together and kicked Hezbollah out of Lebanon? Because she thought the stimulus would keep unemployment under 8%? Because she said there are 57 states? Because she thought ObamaCare would make insurance less expensive? That heavy restrictions on firearms would lower crime? Those were all incorrect assertions of the administration, not Palin's. How many times does Palin have to be right when everyone else is wrong before we accept that she's actually pretty sharp?
No, you would not. I met a girl that was sharp as a tack and had and advanced degree. Her downfall was that she was a beautiful busty blonde. After a couple of years of abuse and sexism from people just like the ones ripping Sarah Palin she became a stripper. A good looking woman will not be taken seriously by our society.
There is no honest reason to believe that Sarah Palin is stupid. She made better predictions about policy effects than the president and all his advisors whether they were economic, legal, or diplomatic.
If you mean YOU as in the distribution maintainer, I agree 100%. There are somethings that should usually be at a higher priority (audio/video, X) and some that should be at a lower priority (make, gcc) As for the threads, I see your point. I just get aggravated when I have a 2GHz machine with 2GB of memory and I can't log in without the Ubuntu "Happy Login(TM)" sound stuttering.
I still think that the problem is that everything runs with the same priority. If I have three processes: watch_tv, answer_phone, and extinguish_fire, the kernel or its developers are just making wild guesses about which one to run if the priorities are not set properly. Should I idle extinguish_fire to improve watch_tv's interactivity? The distro's should set reasonable priorities on things instead of expecting psychic powers from the kernel.
Large NG turbine power plants are around 42% efficient. Turbines are more efficient under a constant load that they are designed for. There are small turbines for individual buildings that use waste heat for heating or absorption cooling. Their electrical efficiency is in the 35% range but using the waste heat can make the overall efficiency 70-80%. (Plus it's nice to have local power generation if the grid goes down.) http://capstoneturbine.com/

You wouldn't say that if YOU needed an organ...
If your morals require more people to die for no reason while waiting for organs you might need to reconsider your morals. Just sayin'.
I don't know how good they are. They tried to sue me but the court couldn't access the complaint without agreeing to a 30 page EULA.
You're right. That was mean. I apologize.
You're an idiot. If markets aren't forward looking, how the hell do 30 year bonds get sold?
What is "gravity torque?"
If that was a factor, wouldn't they just mount them parallel to the earth's axis?
Are you kidding? It looks like it carry way more than 3.5 fluid ounces...
Yeah, because no one wants the jobs or products that capitalism creates.
You would doubt someone who nearly learned punctuation, grammar, and spelling?
Yeah, I'm sure that's what they're thinking. It's not like they could find other things to sell to people living longer. Geesh.
By "subject to" you mean there may be products with her branding that you may freely choose to ignore unlike the whims of our president.

Thank you for proving my point.
There is no honest reason to believe that Sarah Palin is stupid. She made better predictions about policy effects than the president and all his advisors whether they were economic, legal, or diplomatic.
She's a woman.
Yes, but I think some sensible defaults for niceness would improve things for the regular joe.

Not only that, but most carriers offer a 30 day trial.
Give it a rest Zaphod!

Does that mean if I only have one school available to choose from that there is a government failure?
What OS, version, and hardware are you using?
Windows does what 90% of the users need for about 90 days. Then it bogs down or blows up.
