Being in the younger generation (16) I can relate a lot to this. I have just gotten over wanting every new thing to come out, but lately I've realized that stuff I want a lot has little impact on my daily life and stuff I get as an impulse buy and have never thought seriously about getting before has far exceeded my expectations and frankly, left me a happy camper. (Like my Nintendo DS I just got a month ago and to a lesser extent in the category of didn't-really-know-how-much-this-would-help an extra 256mb RAM a few years ago)
I can't remember the specifics, but when I went to look for RAM it was mostly out of production except for generic brands and Kingston. I know I looked into it way too hard for it to be $40 last year. Maybe I did get swindled, but that would be a shame:P
When I began my search for a lightweight distro it really amazed me that even though everyone said Linux was the way to bring a machine back from the dead there were very few viable options for using it on an old machine. On my "new" computer I came to Ubuntu with the mindset that it'd run fine on my hardware, but I was wrong, oh so wrong. It flatout killed my 1.7ghz P4 with 256mb RAM and an 80gb HDD. It could be better now since I put in another 256mb of RAM (that was a nice $150 upgrade >.), but I'm not willing to go through the hassle again.
Sounds roughly around the spec of the school computer I purchased last year, 400mhz P3, 8gb HDD, and 64mb RAM. I tried to find a distro that would work without serious chugging and found Vector Linux , which surprisingly works fast using IceWM (bundled with several other WMs by default). Just don't expect to run KDE/Gnome and it should be good for light internet browsing (however, not with opera or firefox).
It really depends on the kind of person you are as for the nyquil/related. One regular adult sized serving of nyquil will have me out of it for around 3-5 days, so lately if I've had to take it, I'll take a childs serving or less.
I actually remember my science teacher telling my class about a study that shows that the Earth now is cooler than the last few interglacial periods in the last 420,000 years

It's all about hosts file lovin
I hate to point this out to you, but $my_vocabulary was never declared!
:P
I jest

Honestly, who keeps valuables in a tent!
I think what he's saying is....
If you're going camping you don't necessarily need to lock your tent door up, because it's such a trivial thing to do
I'd just like to say that.... 0/20 is infinitely good vision :)

Did anyone else know there was a whole section for AMD? That one took me off guard after browsing this site for years
For a glimpse of the old look, click the Sections header for the Sectional Display Preferences :D
Let me give you a hint:
Never EVER forget your towel.
I believe you're thinking of 'India' principles... not Indie principles
:P
I'm sorry, that was horrible
Sony is just shooting themselves in the foot with all of these proprietary formats.... I'm willing to be they have a directory in root named -rf
A bump to 75% innovation would be nice for the market and allow them to keep Madden ;)
This is almost as good as naming a directory '-rf'.
I believe at 5.6 hours/LoC
Microsoft released a version of OS X!?
No wonder Windows is suffering if they're spending so much time on OS X...
Something like Torque?

The really good stuff is on computer games with cardboard boxes....
Trying to take of a security peel without pulling up any color is like trying to escape from a prison. Not that I'd know or anything...
It's *NOT* PC to call them that guys!
They prefer size impaired galaxies...
Oh I think that's more a case of specialization than anything...
I mean, you don't see me changing the oil on my car, do you?
