Only because you're using firefox, I've had 113+ tabs open in Opera without my cpu chugging. Of course it still uses substantial ram, but the browser and other programs remain snappy and there's no obvious memory leaks.
CCP has now ported eve-online to linux. They provide.rpm and.deb, in addition to other formats for many distros. Currently they support Fedora, Mandrivia, OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, Linspire, Debian, Slackware and Gentoo, although it can probably be ran on other distros as well. I haven't ran their linux client so I can't speak for it personally, but here is their Linux client support forum so you can gauge how well it works.
For those who haven't heard of eve-online, it's a space based sandbox MMO where you "level up" in real time regardless of whether you are playing or not. Because of it's sandbox nature the entire game is essentially PvP. Even if you avoid combat pvp you're still combating against others through the player-driven economy. The content is basically all player driven and eve-online is the only MMO that I know of that has consistently improved since release.
It's hard for me to not talk about all the good things eve does, but I'll stop and let someone else pimp it if they want. Also anyone with an active eve account can give unlimited 14day free trials to people.
The people who have the technical expertise to be able to do that probably care about more important things than bragging rights. Especially since braggers get caught.
Well for starters I did qualify it with capable. Not having enough money is someone I would consider incapable of immigration.
Where to go, well I've done some research into this although there is still much more to do. Based off the The Scandinavians by Donald Connery I think the best choices are Denmark, Finland and Sweden. Canada and New Zealand might work too, although I suspect they just haven't had the time to degenerate into a completely totalitarian state, and not that their culture is fundamentally different. Norway also seems okay if you just want to be left alone and live a decent life, but their people don't do much of international significance.
Serious question, if you currently live in the UK and are capable of immigrating to a country that isn't so freakishly totalitarian, why haven't you? Or do most Brits approve of their government's actions? I'm just absolutely bewildered. I'm seriously contemplating leaving the US for similar reasons, and afaict the UK is magnitudes scarier.
But is it wrong? That's really the important question to ask, not "Is it politically correct?" Some *ist statements might be true, but we're too busy trying to be inoffensive when we could instead by trying to better understand the world.
My view of Wikipedia, and this applies not just to proofs is that if someone is willing to write it and it is factually correct keep the article. The crackdown of "trivia" on wikipedia is ridiculous. It used to have some fairly esoteric knowledge, but no so much anymore.
metacritic.com, is good for everything, but especially games. Basically they take up to 30 or so reviews and make a weighted average with more trustworthy sites having a higher weight. Of course if you want more depth they link to all the sites they averaged together. I've found that their ratings agree almost exactly with mine, all good/classic games have high ratings and most fad/crap games have okay to poor ratings. Use metacritic, it's good stuff.
RAID1 mirrors the data across all drives. So you only need 1 drive to survive to keep all your data. You can lose more than one RAID1 drive if you have more than two drives total.
Many reviewers include some sort of grade for the movie, album, or game they are reviewing, whether it is on a 5-star scale, a 100-point scale, a letter grade, or other mark. However, plenty of other reviewers choose not to do this. Hey, that's great... they want you to actually read their review rather than just glance at a number. (Personally, we at Metacritic like to read reviews, which is one of the reasons we include a link to every full review on our site.... we want you to read them too!)
However, this does pose a problem for our METASCORE computations, which are based on numbers, not qualitative concepts like art and emotions. (If only all of life were like that!) Thus, our staff must assign a numeric score, from 0-100, to each review that is not already scored by the critic. Naturally, there is some discretion involved here, and there will be times when you disagree with the score we assigned. However, our staffers have read a lot of reviews--and we mean a lot--and thus through experience are able to maintain consistency both from film to film and from reviewer to reviewer. When you read over 200 reviews from Manohla Dargis, you begin to develop a decent idea about when she's indicating a 90 and when she's indicating an 80.
Note, however, that our staff will not attempt to assign super-exact scores like 87 or 43, as doing so would be impossible. Typically, we will work in increments of 10 (so a good review will get a 60, 70, 80, 90, or 100), although in some instances we may also fall halfway in-between (such as a 75).
It depends on who is being killed and who is being saved. My dog for 100M random people? Probably. My best friend for 100M random people? No way in hell. My best friend for 100M of the most talented, kindest people? Yes. Kill 1M people whom I've never met, or don't care about to save 100M? Absolutely.
The typical workaround is an extended partition as 1 of your primary partitions. From there you can have as many logical partitions inside the extended partition as you want. Think of each primary partition as being an element in a length 4 array and the extended partition as being the head of a linked list with each logical partition being a listnode.
Of course there are types of partitions other than DOS partitions that allow for more than 4 primary partitions...
Same thing with Tasers. Tasers are statistically harmless, and a hell of a lot less harmless than a number of other ways of subduing a suspect, including lethal means. Whether Tasers are overused is a different question altogether, but being tased is a much better alternative than being forcibly subdued by any number of other means.
Wrong, I would rather be beaten, maced or shot with rubber bullets than tasered as they leave evidience of police brutality. Tasers don't, cops use them whenever they feel like it because they don't leave evidence. For example:
"The Louisville Courier-Journal this year reported that Louisville metro police have Tasered some 70 mentally ill people in the last two years, zapped 15 people already in handcuffs, shot a 15-year-old in the penis, and even zonked a brain-damaged paraplegic who had fallen out of his wheelchair." (emphasis mine).
Now remembering how little evidience tasering leaves, think about how many more people may have been tasered.
Do you happen to know of any good journalistic sites? I like staying informed but can't stand the sensationalism and the drivel typical of even major organisations.
Wrong, facebook has enormous potential for datamining and I suspect they are all ready doing so although crudely. Imagine the wealth of info a company with a good algorithm and access to all of facebook's data could do. Really I'm surprised ads aren't personalized based on users' likes/dislikes.
It doesn't matter if Copenhagen, many worlds or some other interpretation is "right" as they are merely models to try and explain the math of quantum physics. Their irrelevance is similar to the electron, we don't need *it* to make accurate predictions, although it can be helpful in visualising what is ocurring.

Where do you live? Raw salary isn't everything, raw salary compared to cost of living is more informative.
So why you shouldn't code LISP using vim? Hint,"because emacs is better" isn't an answer.

How would you recommend acquiring the materials needed to safely make thermite?
Leave, stop funding the empire through your taxes and emmigrate somewhere more in line with your values.

Do you have any particular books you would recommend to someone who wants a serious intro to Linguistics?
Go create some throwaway accounts and use GmailFS.
Except Windows is still Windows because Lindows rolled over...
