It's inconceivable why we wouldn't let Iran build nuclear reactors!
Oh, wait, no it isn't. Iran is a country that is bent on acquiring nuclear weapons. The US already has them, and I'd bet dollars to donuts we already have methods to produce harmful strains of anthrax.
The fact that you think Iran is trustworthy enough to have access to nuclear tech and the US isn't trustworthy enough to vaccinate its own people speaks volumes for how pathetically biased you are.
I'm not going to go through the hassle of buying their product and trying to make it work if I can do it with a Windows box that I already own.
Cost-benefit analysis here.
SOLUTION ONE: I, a computer geek, keep a Windows box and a Linux box. The Linux box is my development station for PHP and Java. The Windows box is my development station for Windows applications and for playing games.
SOLUTION TWO: I, a computer geek, keep only a Linux box. I spend more money on Cedega to play the games I already own. My Windows box is relegated to solely doing Windows-only tasks.
3.In the beginning, a saturation attack by many missiles would overwhelm the missile's cooling system, but since in air combat their are not that many missiles fired, it would certainly give the edge to the plane with one.
Working on my own Linux application for this--unfortunately, I am entirely fucking roadblocked because I can't find specifications for a number of common POS scanning devices.
The manufacturers sure aren't helping, either.
Me: "I'm writing a POS tool. I'd like to include support for your hardware."
Them: "Our hardware information is proprietary."
Me: "This will help increase your userbase."
Them: "Our hardware information is proprietary."
Me: "I just want to know how to cue your system to check its goddamned scale!"

OK, call me thick if you must, but I didn't consider Tolkien's presentation of the same thing all that good. Hell, it took me two or three tries to read through it and understand it.
After reading the book, I can't say I disagree with the reviewer in the slightest. Name-dropping is bad, people--but namedropping Heinlein, for God's sake, is a lot worse.
Show me where the Nazis made people listen to rap music.
Show me where the Nazis did such minor things as turn up the air conditioning to make them shiver while questioning them.
Show me where Americans are gassing anyone.
Oh, wait. They're not!
...I was going to try to debate you here, but the likelihood of actual debate on Slashdot is so ridiculously low that it isn't worth the time.
All I need to say is this: the "proper conclusion" is that fuckfaces who condone people like "Turban" Durbin ought to be lined up and shot. Haven't heard any of the shaggy-dog Democratic whores condemn him for equating American soldiers with Nazis or the keepers of Russian gulags.
Analog is probably the best speculative fiction mag out there, though that really says little in itself. Some of their stuff is too esoteric for most readers (including myself--and I read a lot of sf). That serial by Vajra is a prime example. Many Analog writers seem to be trying to outweird each other.
Yes, it's a lot like VB, and yes, it's very, very odd, but it's an extremely useful programming tool. Recommended to anyone who needs quick and dirty cross-platform work.
Get real, man. Yes, it's the Ames variety--but that particular variety has been found in other places. We know--we have the receipts from the bastards we sold them to.
Oh, yes, the Republicans threaten to hit Dems who disagree with them with anthrax. Brilliant plan.
You, sir, need to get in touch with reality.

If you want to split hairs, knowing SI prefixes wouldn't help you much with computers.
:)
SI definition of "Mega": 10^6 of something
Computer definition: 32^4 bytes
Technically we should be calling it a "Mebibyte" or something similar. But I'm just being an asshole and splitting hairs here.
If it isn't perfect, it isn't acceptable.

Hrm...I think Windows still has its uses.

Windows 3.0 was released on May 22, 1990..
Sir, owned is you.
If you play against newer Fritz models at maximum difficulty, you will never again say that humans can keep up with computers in chess.
Unfortunately, the Fire Emblem game is looking like one of the worst of the series. Shame.

Sidewinders and Silkworms, anyone?

Open it in Dreamweaver. There's an option called, appropriately enough, "Fix Microsoft Word HTML." Hit it, and things get a whole lot cleaner.

But I was twelve at the time.

You make it sound like that's your problem.

And yet it's still better than theirs. All we need is a good solid roach-bombing of the Capitol and we'll be fine. Oh, hello, Echelo-- NO CARRIER

And very, very violent.

I for one welcome our new robot overlords.
Ugh, no. "Content" is fine; page after page of mind-numbing description isn't "content."
Shh, don't say such heresy, the fanboys will kill you. (And for the record, yes, I was kidding. Dolts.)
Mesothelioma ambulance chasers will have a new field, then. Good for them. Capitalism in action.
Imagine the BSDM^H applications! Seriously, though--interesting stuff. Curious as to how well it'd stand up under pressure.
Someone lacks a sense of humor. Nintendo fanboys make me giggle. :)
