The wharf has doubled or tripled in size since the houses where built tho...
Most humans are short-sighted (that's why they are the workers not the leaders) and stupid (wanting prosperity w/o growth). I'm 5 miles from our city's airport, way out of the "noise zone", but an approach path comes right over our house. However, I don't complain because I know that's a "cost of prosperity".
In some culture it's quite commonplace for everyone to take afternoon naps. Where I came from public schools had designated afternoon nap time when students and teachers napped.
It was quite the weird transition moving to United States where people considered it bizarre.
"Teachers and young children" doesn't sound like "everyone".
Anyhow, it's quite common (in my part of the US, at least) for pre-K and Kindergarten children to nap in class during the early afternoon. Younger grade school kids nap as a soon as they come home.
Spoken like a parent of two kids who has an "8-to-5" job! When my kids were infants, I was in sitting in a cubicle every morning and afternoon. (Now I telecommute.)
It's called: "baby asleep in the crib, Parents having nookie very quietly in the bed." Many many parents have done it.
Only during the evening. Or on weekends when I was actually home during the afternoon.
(a) Intel was continually releasing faster/cheaper CPUs. (b) Hurd development was an elitist, academic cluster-fuck for 20 years. (c) Sun never would have reduced the cost of SPARCstations enough for mass consumption.
Except that while maybe lots of Unis and a few businesses had VAXen running BSD, there were many orders of magnitude people who had PCs with MS-DOS who wanted to experiment.
Linux would insist upon using a large number of partitions.
That is a steamingly incredible crock of shit, since: (a) partition decisions are the purview of the installer, not the kernel, and (b) even back in the day you could install everything on / . It just wasn't recommended due to the small size of HDDs.
What you think is large might be trivial even for OpenOffice/LibeOffice.
Also, the real solution might be to automate data collection and storage in a database. Manipulation would then sort itself out.
If you're at a University, then you should go to the Math Dept and talk to some Statistics grad student or maybe even an econometrics grad student in the College of Business. Heck, there's probably Comp Sci undergrads looking for a project to add to their resume.

That's not entirely true.
Reading comprehension FAIL. "Quite frequently" != "in every instance".
Anyway, you protest before the expansion not afterwards.

Heh. Spoken by a true non-parent.

It takes NIMBY to quite another level when you build the backyard in question on top of what you don't want there.
Happened quite frequently in the 1970s and 1980s, with fresh suburbanites screaming about noise from airports that had existed for decades.
One parent napping in the afternoon is reasonable, but both???
Unless the non-caregiver works at night...
I must say that I find slightly creepy the fact that you know the name of that 10 year-old actor.
Haven't you heard of Google? Of IMDB?
and 11.04 will be fine as well
Except for those of us who use the nvidia binary driver (for VDPAU) and are bitten by a Compiz bug that makes window movement slow as molasses.
I upgraded recently to v10.10 and am very pleased. It's got a bit less old libraries, and PPAs let me keep current on the apps I use.
My UID is older than yours. Besides, server logs indicate a majority Windows usage.
Too many inalienable rights and you dilute the meaning. Same with people calling everyone in the armed forces a "hero".

I am not a lung, even though I have a lung inside of me, and it in vital to my survival.
Logic, man, logic. Employ it!!!
FC16 is not Linux, you mewling ninny.
The point is that, contrary to hedwards' delusions, Linux does not insist on large number of partitions.
How many partitions, and for what purpose, is left to the "sysadmin".
while FreeBSD was just like on the VAX at work!
Except that while maybe lots of Unis and a few businesses had VAXen running BSD, there were many orders of magnitude people who had PCs with MS-DOS who wanted to experiment.
Amusing Tannenbaum 1992 quote: Of course 5 years from now that will be different, but 5 years from now everyone will be running free GNU on their 200 MIPS, 64M SPARCstation-5.
What would be the balance be now if BSD had gathered twice as many elitist greybeards into the fold?
Let's also remember that the "greybeards" (TdR was only 26 when he was booted from the NetBSD dev team) can get all pissy and immature.

so we can efficiently turn them into Soylent Green them all at once.
There, fixed that for you...
Lots of people adorn themselves with cow skin on a regular basis.
I would not wear fur.
Why not? It's a hell of a lot "greener" than a parka made from polyester.
if it can be heard by human ear, it can be recorded
Yet no reasonable person thinks that recording a movie from the theater is legal.
Know someone in the Post Office who delivers their monthly checks.
