The angle of the bed was slightly more than 6 degrees. When the bulk of your body is up top, you tend to end up crumpled down at the bottom of the bed after a few minutes of sleep. I prefer to have weak feeling legs over kinks in my neck, back, arms, and legs.
My friend once broke my bed frame, and I had to sleep like this for about a week until I got a new one. Not fun. Not only do your legs feel extremely weak in the morning, its also an extremely restless sleep.
Go to a drug and/or medical supply store. They should have some leg cuffs that use air to expand and contract around your legs. It helps promote blood flow in your legs and also breaks up clots. I've seen them in use at hospitals for patients who are in bed for more than a week.
Okay. Here's the fair comparison. I dual boot the aforementioned 1.5 GHz Celeron laptop. Well.. not so much since I graduated.
Windows runs dog slow, especially during login or when launching a memory intensive program (Mozilla/Firefox, OpenOffice). Usually, I had a web browser, email client, and IM client running at the same time with as little background processes running as possible. I can't think of the services off the top of my head, but I'd say about half of the ones that default to 'on' when Windows is installed are off. Virus scan was almost always running, unless I planned on opening a large file I know is virus-free.
Linux/KDE runs acceptably. Some applications (OpenOffice) take a little longer to start than I'd like, but it's rarely slowing down the entire system because one application is launching. Usually, I have a few terminals, web browser, email client, IM client, and text editor running at the same time. I have a multitude of services running, which extend the startup procedure.
Startup time on both is about the same, if taken from no power to minimal CPU usage after a user logs on.
Whoever said it's performing a different function? Sure, the Core4 one is a server, but the Debian box is used for [my] everyday desktop things. Browsing, editing, ssh'ing.
Insightful? I have a P2 350 with 128 MB RAM running the latest Debian, and another with the same specs running Core4. Both are more responsive than my 1.5 GHz Celeron with 512 MB RAM when it's running Windows.
And (more than) a few people feel they need to shoot people with guns, but that doesn't stop me from going to Walmart and buying one. I shouldn't have freedoms taken away because of a minority chooses to take advantage of said freedom.
You say that, but I find it utterly frustrating to try to dabble with the Win32 command line as it is. Linux/Unix, on the other hand, I can move around in with ease.
Is that BadAnalogyGuy masquerading as an AC? Those were all horrible analogies. None of your statements involved a tool, yet you mention using tools to get the job done. A better one would have been "I'd hate to miss out on digging a hole because I refuse to use a shovel."
For people who insist on needing an 'X' per tab: middle click on the tab closes it as well. And usually fairly quicker than clicking the 'X' because it works anywhere on the tab.
Sort of how you dismiss CBS, NBC, CNN and, to a lesser extent, ABC as crap because they don't cater to your agenda?
I like to view all news as propaganda. Usually get it from a few different sources, so I can get as close to the whole story as possible. Even though I dislike every news source I've come across, when you add them all together, you get an (almost) un-biased story.
Another game this occurs in is Tales of Symphonia. There's a boss with 100x the HPs of the main boss and he hits 10x harder.
Was that the possessed guy you fought in the bottom of a dungeon? If so, I agree. He was extremely hard. That game was actually fairly hard compared to a game like FFX. I wiped quite a few times in ToS. I only wiped once in FFX, and it was because I didn't bother to heal before a boss battle.
That's slightly different. There is the middle man of the cable company that you're directly paying. That payment covers the cost of the infrastructure to get the signal to your home. You pay indirectly through the commercials, used by the networks in order to make money and stay in business.
They also said that the Gamecube would be out just before the Xbox. Turned out, it came out a week later. Maybe two. It was a while ago and my memory isn't what it used to be.
Of course it's the openness of the game that made it so popular, and not the fact that it's outright offensive to a multitude of people. Custer's Revenge had plenty of sex and violence, and a handful of people remember playing it. The Sims, on the other hand, managed to be one of the top selling games of all time by being an open-ended game with no real ending point.
Everybody who replied to the parent, hurry up and trademark these phrases. We don't want them to actually be used by Microsoft. So make sure you don't let them use it, even with royalties.
You may want to check your phone. I had T-Mobile prepaid for about a year with a Motorola V66. It had great coverage, great call quality, and it never dropped. I switched to a monthly plan to get a Razr (couldn't pass it up for $30), and now I regret it. Yeah, it's light and small. But so was my V66. And that one didn't emit squealing sounds every time I was using it for phone calls. Nor did it drop calls everywhere I was.
This is just speculation, but I would assume that the DS Lite would go state-side along with the new Super Mario Bros. game [Week 1 or 2 in May]. What better way to promote your restyled system than with a game that should be familiar to around 90% of gamers?

How many of those are there? No wonder /. takes forever to load, with all that wasting of bandwidth...

So you'd like software with tons of error-filled solutions?
