I have to agree, this is a very serious problem in Africa and not to be laughed at, many children are raped by HIV infected adults because of the same belief you have joked about.
There is a well know comedian called Pieter-Dirk Uys who campaigns against this horror:
A large proportion of users appear to be suffering from an Error 132 which causes PCs to intermittently crash and even reboot.
Are you able to issue a statement on the research you are doing to investigate these crashes and say what your plans are for dealing with them.
Either you have incredibly slow reactions, your retarded or you like playing games in slow motion.
I have an FX5200 and while I can crank it upto the full settings the game is unplayable (on both Debian Sarge and WinXP ).
The Doom 3 setup auto-configures the settings to the lowest possible resolution on my machine with slightly better frame rates on my Windows XP partition than the Debian one.
Medium is playable, but I occasionally notice lag.
There are guys at my work that still play Solitaire and minesweeper through their lunch breaks, and I bet these games get played well after games like Halo and Grand Theft Autos of the current gaming age are distant memories.
Starcraft is one of the best multiplayer games I have ever played, and while I enjoy modern strategy games like warcraft 3 and battle for middle earth, they do not give me that crack pipe addiction that Starcraft introduced me to.
I did an Electronics degree, not at a red brick institute I might add, but am now in software as it is my real passion.
I have to say that after my first six years of work the hardest part is scoring the initial experience/job. After that it is how hard you work and the results you get - not what type of qualification you have.
I worked with guys that have PHD's and Masters and mostly they just do not cut the mustard because at the end of the day they do not get the code compiled and out of the door with few enough bugs to satisfy the customer.
My advise, get your ass into the first job that is roughly what you want to do then work your butt off, learning new shit from people around you, keep on top of new technologies and make sure you never ever slide into a 9-to-5 routine/slagging of the company role. If you loose interest in your work then move on, maybe programming is not for you.
After a year or two look for somewhere else that is closer to what you are aiming for, maybe more money , better conditions or more importantly, more interesting work.
With each job hop you should be closer to what you want to do, and you will slowly be gaining industry experience and real knowledge, and will have a better idea of where you want to be in ten years time.
Do not let someone put you down because you did not study at the right place, let your work speak for you.
Do they still ship with a 4k stack compiled kernel?
This is a real pain in the ass for getting linksys wifi cards to work as ndiswrapper does not support 4k stacks.

I saw him when he played in London and it was heartbreaking, makes you think how lucky you really are.

In the official books he is often without in scenes without his armour on.
I'll second that, device manager showing working hardware, however no applications can make use of sound playback.
This worked fine before SP2.
