This poster may be a slight bit intense, but I think he has a valid point. It's very much a fact that the majority of open source software begins as "useless", due to its inherent pre-release tendency. Therefore, it may be slightly premature to label it as "useless" in its relative infancy.
If I may, out of curiosity, ask:
From which language is "tu quoque" from?
I've determined by Babelfish, if it is reliable, that it is, at least, not French.

Would not the worst-case scenario of Long Run 2 technology be near zero effectiveness?
I don't suppose to know the circumstances that might lead to this scenario, but if Long Run 2 cannot guarantee that it will perform sufficiently in *all* cases, then there must exist an instance where a processor depending on it exclusively would overheat.
Thus it would be an ineffective solution, as opposed to using a physical material that will *guarantee* itself by virtue of its chemical properties.
I spend a year in the J-country on a university exchange. I would often meet fellow gaijin and get into conversations. Eventually, we would get to the topic of returning to Japan. How to do it? The first question they asked me: Are you American? If not, go for the Working Holiday Visa! To apply for the one-year visa, the requirements are: * Round-trip plane ticket * ~US$2000 in travellers checks (excuse the currency:) * Age between 18 and 30 (inclusive)
You can learn Japanese in about a year, if you are living in the country.
If you're not American, look into the Working Holiday Visa option.
There are also some excellent exchange programs with generous scholarships to students.

Apparently not?

All this talk about dialectrics is making me dehydrated.

I plan to use it.
Apparently, for the Working Holiday Visa, they are. I suppose there are some awkward political reasons supporting this, but I'll repeat as I've heard.
