I always think that using Laptops for gaming is a bit of a silly idea. Every couple of months a new game comes out that requires more powerful graphics, and you can't upgrade the graphics cards in a laptop. So your top of the range laptop bought today will be a pale shadow of its former self when playing the latest game in a year's time. With a desktop PC, you can simply replace the old graphics card with a new one.
This is untrue. High-end laptops can be upgraded... Such as Alienware...
So am I.:) But in contrast to you, I can remember people here trying to "convert" me.
Perhaps you're lucky and live in Austin -- the "Silicon Hills" - the land locked country in Texas where everyone usually has a brain that can think independently. Unfortunately I live in Houston, deep in the "Bible Belt", where there is a church every half mile.
I'm in Austin and for the most part, there is a church every 1/2 mile. But they don't actively try to convert people from what I've seen, they just have signs/billboards everywhere.

Set up a Windows partition and a Linux partition, set it to boot to Windows by default, keep all your data on the Linux partition. How well would that work, I wonder. Just be sure the Linux partition(s) is heavily encrypted and that seems like it'd be safe.
So we're supposed to replace the deserts to generate power and that's OK? Seems to me like a bad idea to say that we just need to kill off everything living in the deserts in order to build power plants.
Someone should convince ZZ Top to make a new programming language called LEGS. [ducks] Only women would know how to use it. I wonder how many people here actually got that.
I can believe that.
When I rolled my car I went to the ER and they asked me "what are you allergic to?" and I told them just 1 medicine, Ibuprofen -- causes stroke like effects. Later just before I was let out they gave me a prescription for "Prescription Strength Ibuprofen". They either can't read, or can't enter data properly.
I forget where I was reading it, but it was something like cable TV rates have gone up every year for 10 or 20(or maybe more) years... And it also mentioned the increase was well above the inflation rate.
IANAL, but Encryption(in the USA at least) seems pretty pointless once the government/law is after you. As far as I know; if requested(with a warrant), citizens must turn over any keys or pass phrases or be held in contempt/whatever(bad)...

The Subaru is also lighter, quieter, and has much less vibration than the IO-360. It's probably not far from the motor that Lycoming would have come up with if they had an engine design department. The EJ25 makes 165HP in stock form and is well suited to the addition of a magic little device called a turbocharger.
It's common, safe and efficient and far from a "poor choice". You're contradicting the facts with your opinions.
You might think the professional pilots flying the stunt planes powered by automotive engines know a thing or two about what they're doing and the planes they're flying...
You shouldn't make such broad uneducated posts... http://www.sdsefi.com/aircraft.html -- Popular off the shelf (car)motor used in "light aircraft", that is just one example.

So you didn't notice how you can't spell "Islamo-Communist mental case" without I n t e l then?
Rock on!
Greed
+1 to that

I thought you were going to say fatter than the average elephant.
I was expecting that as well. It wasn't as funny once I finished reading his whole sentence.
Straight-up blocking it is probably more clearly illegal than throttling.
I doubt that. Cable ISPs already block most common inbound ports, such as 80 and 25.
The game is already done. It's "The Force Unleashed". The Wii version has a multi-player light saber game in it.

It runs Linux too!
Actually, they copyrighted the term "tap" in relation with turning a card sideways. They didn't copyright turning a card sideways in general.

Exactly. Their idea is a new bad(probably more expensive) way to do something already possible and easy to do.

CD's and DVD's start in the center... You're comment doesn't make sense.
More power to Hasbro. That game is a blatant ripoff of Scrabble. It looks like all they did was use a different game. Lame
Exactly! the people that slow to look at things cause way more traffic than math can ever explain.

Right, and they didn't wipe the memories after each hit. But it still sounds a lot like it...

You're ignoring that they started from 0 and not from 1, thus 0 through 65534 equals 65535. No..?
