There was a guy in my highschool class called Jonathan Staines. He went off to join the navy, so yes, he became Seaman Staines. And that, gentlemen, is no joke.
Same here, I just can't deal with 60Hz. I was getting migraines a lot, and couldn't get to the bottom of it. Finally I went to my optician, and the first question he asked me was "do you use a computer a lot?" He then told me to set my monitor's refresh rate to the highest setting it can handle, and if that's not more than 60Hz then buy a newer monitor. I did this, and my problem was gone instantly.
75Hz is bad for your eyesight too, apparently.
Not in my many experiences with them. I've flown on them about eight or ten times, and they were always on time, the staff were polite, and they never lost my luggage once. And their prices are reasonable too. About the only thing I disliked was their cheese flavoured pretzels.
The Hubble telescope - which is being phased out by Nasa - captured the deepest view of the cosmos, detecting the youngest and most distant galaxies ever seen.
was Frank Zappa's "The Illinois Enema Bandit," all thirteen minutes of it. Agonisingly slow on a 28.8k modem, but worth the wait. I still have it. And like the guy who said he downloads movies then buys the DVDs, I do the same with music. It's unfair to expect music for free.
Software, however, is another matter entirely >=D
Which begs the question, what was the first warez you ever downloaded?
I like that too, but my personal favourite is the FreeBSD process. I can start an FTP install in less than the time it took to hook the cables up to the box in the first place;D
The reason it's not worth very much is probably because it has a crap quality movement. The finer ones (Swiss and French) have very high quality hand-made movements, by famous makers, and are therefore more saught after.
So my dad tells me anyway, he's been collecting the things for years. I think I'll just stick with my nice Tag:)
>I also am running W2K on a PII-366 laptop with 320MB RAM (PCG-Z505SX). After it takes 10 minutes to boot I can do things with it. Real usable. So I am >giving you that.
I installed W2K on my sister's P166 with 64MB RAM, and it takes 2 minutes to boot. So I think you screwed something up there, my friend.
haha, I know my username is a bit whacked, but I just think that making jokes about disabled people is about as low as you can get, in my opinion anyway.
No wonder you posted anonymously. My girlfriend is paraplegic as the result of an accident, and her and every other disabled person has a hard enough time getting accepted by society without the likes of fucking morons like you cracking jokes at their expense.
OK, I know this is something of a departure from everyone else's running/skate shoe answers, but buy a big heavy pair of Dr Martens 8-hole boots.
Amazingly comfortable, great support, and the air-filled soles make it feel like you're walking around on cushions all day.
I wear my boots to work, casually, I've even flown 20-hr flights in them. And when the soles wear out, but the leather is all softened and molded to your feet, you can send them back to the factory to get re-soled. Dr Martens, I never wear anything else.
I didn't have a cellphone when I was at school in the 80s and 90s, and I managed to socialise fine. I'm now at university and I _still_ don't have a cellphone (because I hate them, and I doubt that holding a microwave transmitter up next to your brain is a clever idea.) Kids socialise by going out and meeting each other, not by fucking SMSing each other, you stupid clueless fuck.
Oh and like the guy above me said, learn to fucking spell.

Captain Pugwash is BRILLIANT. I loved that when I was a kid.
The best cartoon character name ever must be Roger the Cabin Boy.

I just read on the BBC news site that NASA is phasing out the Hubble Telescope. Are they out of their fucking minds?

Opera, the superior browser. It beats everything else hands down, whether on Windows or Linux.
Ease of installation? yea right.
As far as ease of use goes, in my opinion you can't get easier than FreeBSD's ports collection. "make install" and you're all done.
I like that too, but my personal favourite is the FreeBSD process. I can start an FTP install in less than the time it took to hook the cables up to the box in the first place ;D
Yes, and I am one of them. From uni to at home, I estimate my daily net* usage to be in the region of 17 hours.
/. of course ;D
* = browsing, e-mail, SSHing, IM, IRC etc. Not just browsing, I get bored of that after ten minutes. unless it's
and breasts. and don't forget they'll want all the money you got from helping some african dictator transfer his billions.

Funny you should mention these boots, I have a friend who bought a pair the other day. They cost $700 but apparently are worth every penny.
US$699 is still only about 7.40. Behold the mighty Pound!

Isn't "American Intelligence" something of a contradiction in terms.
If I found rocks in any dessert I had, I'd kill the chef.
In any case, who the hell needs radio when you have a 12-cylinder choir singing to you from 2 feet away :>
I think you've only been able to buy DAB digital receivers for a few months though, if my memory serves me correctly.
