I do wonder at times what kind of material is stuffed in that registry. Earlier today I was trying to get some speed out of an older Windows installation and I noticed after exporting it that the registry was 52 megabytes..
That's *a lot* of data for configuration settings...
(I don't even know if this is big compared to other Windows installations out there, but in general. Just imagine how many times you'd have to copy say... Apache's httpd.conf to make it 52 MB...)
I agree. Something is going on. I am wondering however if we are (at present times) far enough both technologically and with our view of 'how the universe works' to be able to draw definite conclusions about the metaphysical.
I want the engine to roar like a pride of lions and the tires to scream like a banshee when I hit the accelerator. I can't get that from a BMW. Sure, on the average day, a BMW would probably be a more comfortable commute - but it's just the wrong attitude. A car should be scary.
There are of course different models of BMW. Also models which are both comfortable and very, very fast.

Somewhere there is the somewhat famous quote I keep forgetting.. but it is exactly about making so many laws that everyone is guilty.. creating a path to control you.
24b. Do you know the meaning and origin of "OMG Ponies!~!" ? 24c. Do you like hot grits? 24d. Are you the type of person who would welcome new overlords?

No symantec and no Soundblaster stuff at all on that machine.

Parsecs are a measure of distance (equal to 3.26 light years IIRC), not a measurement of time.

May the force be with you! ^_^
Zero-G? As in 'zero G-spot'? That will certainly lead to a bad evaluation of sexual performance.. :P
Ok, you win.
Still nice for the daily commute though, lol!

Nice stuff to watch

Just sit through the first 6-7 minutes or so.
If you want to know for sure if your cat is still alive, all you have to do is take a good look and hope for the best.
Perhaps even a _camping_ aimbot ;O
Avoidance? Perhaps more trying to do things safe ;)
And that is without taking into account possibly disk failures and so on. Would a cluster of tape libraries/jukeboxes/robots not be a better option?!?
how about:
daily amounts of caffeine used per capita
number of pizza's ordered per organization
?
Well, on the positive side: binary trees can grow very fast! :))
Actually I'm talking about disks, following the parent (do they also count as high-latency communication?!?).
Have you ever tried installing an OS/program/game from something in the order of ten 3.5" disks?
I can't even recall the number of times I was stuck with some checksum error near the end while unpacking stuff. Glad we have USB sticks now!
No joke either, many wasted hours if added over the last two decades. =/
Usually I would have the second disk, so personally I find the following worse:
Unpacking file, please wait...
[...]
97%
98%
99%
Checksum error, this file is corrupt. Please try downloading it again.

Just wait until a Predator knocks on your door.. demanding that you return his suit ;O
... Microsoft will select the Darwin Kernel as the foundation for its next* OS ;D

Thank you very much! This time I'll try not to forget it, because it's certainly a powerful quote.
Thank you for your interest,
It does only count if it is reflected sunlight from one (or more) computer displays of at least 17".
Both LCD and CRT screens count.

Oh, if I only I could remember it.
24b. Do you know the meaning and origin of "OMG Ponies!~!" ?
24c. Do you like hot grits?
24d. Are you the type of person who would welcome new overlords?
28. Do you live in a basement?
28a. The basement of your parents?
28b. Do you ever see sunlight?
Congratulations, you win my Pun of the Day Award!
Does my SecondLife inventory count? :P
