My netbook (EeePC 901) has no problem running OpenOffice.org; it has more power than the system I first installed StarOffice on (Windows 95 in 1997, converted to Linux in 1998). That was a full-fledged computer, as much as my netbook.
Or are you assuming it has to be something made since 2007? If you want to jump on the three-year upgrade cycle, there's a company in Redmond that would be very interested in doing business with you.
Strong-tasting foods tend to dilate the blood vessels. This is not a good thing in climates with cold winters, as it causes the body to lose heat more rapidly.
It's not because your CPU is running a 32bits OS that you aren't allowed to manipulate anything bigger 32bits.
I can't speak for other OS's, but in the case of Linux, a 32-bit OS does mean there is a 32-bit limit on general registers (EAX, EBX, ECX, EDX, ESP, EBP, EIP, ESI, EDI). During a task switch, only the lower 32 bits of the general registers will be saved into the process state, even on a 64-bit CPU. When the kernel switches back to the process, only the lower 32 bits will be restored.
We're not alone in that. I don't even have decent digital OTA. When I visit my parents, I watch House and reruns of Firefly. The former is the only show in current lineups that I'd watch; it isn't worth it to me, to buy a telly for one show. The latter isn't available on broadcast OR cable anymore.
I mean you can't make the owners do anything. They own it, it is theirs to do with as they please.
Not quite. By law, the owners don't own anybody's credit card info, and they sure as hell can't do with it as they please. CardSystems tried that, and it got them shut down as an independent corporation.
I see your previous two comments were marked "Flamebait" and "Troll." Normally, I am skeptical of such moderations, but in your case, I agree completely. The parent to this comment provides even more demonstration why such ratings are appropriate; I would be hard-pressed to come up with a better ad hominem snipe.
I have news for you pal. If I sell you a book, you already don't have the right to make copies of it and give them to anyone who wants one.
And I have news for you, pal. If that book is the King James Bible, or "A Christmas Carol," or "Frankenstein," yes, I do have the right to copy those texts, freely. Within my lifetime, I have always had that right. Within your lifetime, you have never had the right to prevent me from making such copies.
That is the point of the phrase "for limited time" in Article 1, Section 8 of the US Constitution. We are all richer for these works having passed into the public domain.
Along the same line, I'm reminded of JFK's challenge to put a man on the moon before 1970. After the Sputnik shock and the subsequent re-grouping, we were ready to push our limits, doing things "not because they are easy, but because they are hard." And by the time Apollo 11 returned, with everybody safe and sound, the benefits of the space program was reaching society at large.
With such a large challenge, overcoming the hurdles on the way produces benefits that often can't be quantified beforehand. And we are all better off for it.
The data path from program to disk is loooong. On a system with heavy CPU load, benchmarks on a well-tuned XFS system can fall to the same level as ext2 with defaults. Even multi-core doesn't help XFS under load; running Folding@Home at nice +19 still sucker-punched it.
JFS? It fails to scale on disk-saturated systems. However, it does have some optimizations specific to database workloads. Populating a sparse file ran fastest on my system, where XFS was a total fail.
ext3 under heavy CPU load showed degradation that appeared in the benchmarks, but was noticeable on the desktop only if I was watching for it. And ext4 (formatted, not converted from ext2/3) under load is faster than ext3 without load, when using "elevator=noop" at boot.
N.B.: The above benchmarks on my system all used external journals, except ext2 natch.
Nice try at distraction and putting words in my mouth. But since your reading skills seem to be a bit lacking, I'll lend a hand: My thesis statement is the first sentence of the second paragraph. Make sure to read it carefully, especially the last two words. Bear in mind who is the author of its parent comment.
Having our Constitutional Republic is precisely what frees us to make more. Contrast NASA's effects on everyday life, and the Soviet space program, which was in essence enslavement of the USSR's cosmonauts and top physicists. The people of the USSR weren't allowed to enjoy substantial benefits of their space program, because that would put at risk the forced equal misery of communism.
But we could be producing and giving away 100x as much as the second most productive nation in the world, and it still wouldn't be enough for you. No, it isn't enough for you until we have nothing left but caves to live in, because we gave it all to those who just want to piss it away.
You have nothing substantial to bring to the discussion. You just want to complain.
More on-topic: After learning how to find the G-spot (thanks Julie!), I have never had difficulty finding it on any other woman. That includes two who were convinced they had no G-spot.
So you're saying a temporary nullification of one persons rights is worth a permanent nullification of another's?
Temporary? Temporary?!? These girls will carry the memories, the fear, the anger, the self-loathing, the betrayal, etc etc etc with them for the rest of their lives.
Sometimes, yes. If Charles Manson were to tell me that 1+1=2, I would still want some kind of third-party analysis.
I'm not saying this case calls for such skepticism. But just because ad hominem doesn't prove or disprove an assertion, doesn't mean it's never an appropriate response.
Sometimes, that really is what happens. Put a buoy out there, with a camera to record the missile reaching its target, or not. The delivery system and the detonation system are not necessarily joined-at-the-hip.

Not to mention the Fifth Amendment protections against self-incrimination.
As a convicted monopolist, it behooves Microsoft to own as many tools remain third-party as possible.
FTFY.
Randy Pausch, after writing for the World Book Encyclopedia, declared that he had no problem with Wikipedia's quality controls.
But don't watch his Last Lecture for just that...

Rogers finally gets off their collective duff, and fixes a potentially life-threatening bug.
Within weeks of the GSM hack being published.
Is there anything Rogers gets right? Or are they currently the most abusive monopoly Canucks have to live with?

Just make sure you don't get them from gnome-look.org. If you do, go over the source with a fine-tooth comb first.
I'd rather run Folding@Home, SETI@Home, and GIMPS in the background.
The most compelling evidence of intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe, is that they have not attempted to contact us.
Well, now that Google knows, what's to stop them from telling the Big Bad Wolf? After all, doing that is their core business.
