1) You must burp a lot more than I do. It's unusual if I burp twenty times in a week unless I've been drinking beer. (The other end is another matter, but I eat a LOT of beans!)
2) I frequently eat until the next helping would make me sick. It's slightly pathological, but useful for this conversation.
3) I have never once noticed a problem with burping in bed. Maybe I just don't burp enough?
4) In college I used to swim for at least 30 minutes daily, and I literally never had a problem with a full stomach (again, perhaps I don't burp enough?). I don't recall anyone else in the lap pool stopping suddenly, but I am not particularly observant, especially with my face under water.
5) The myth about swiming on a full stomach is that you will have a cramp and drown. It has nothing to do with being sick. GP was refering to that myth, and your comment has nothing to do with it.
The reason there are huge overruns in government contracts is that dopes come in and blow the bottom out of the bidding. You can be sure if ten companies bid at $10M, and one company bids at $6M, they either read the specs wrong or are cutting huge corners. But it is very difficult (sometimes impossible by law) to make this argument when it comes time to select a contractor.
More data doesn't fix batshit crazy primary voters. So long as lunatics and zealots can carry the primaries, the GOP is in a terrible position. Only a few old-school Republican congressmen are immune from primary challenges from the nutters.
The fact of the matter is that Dell used an amplifier capable of blowing out the speakers, and then blamed the user.
The maximum peak and sustained output of an amplifier is a solved problem, and any amplifier that sounds better than a 1960s telephone has been modeled sufficiently to quantify it.
If VLC increasing the recording volume is not allowed under warranty, I imagine screaming into the microphone and playing it back is also not allowed? How watching the PBS website videos with their unbelievably loud advertisements?
Frankly, guaranteeing you don't have a mismatched amplifier/speaker setup is much easier than guaranteeing that any set of instructions/interrupts will not overload your power supply or some chip somewhere without a temperature sensor.
It may depend heavily on what you do. For performance tasks (games, fancy CAD, and [IMO] C-based compute), ATI/AMD drivers have been total garbage for as long as I've been in the market.
For 2D GUI purposes, I've never had a problem with any of them, but my Quadro experience is very limited -- Perhaps your issue is more hardware than software?
I'm curious what your use case is, though, that you need 24/7 embedded graphics? Manufacturing? I guess if you are doing 24-hour CNC work?
I'm loving Mint w/ MATE (gnome 2 fork). The only issues I have are:
1) I had to add the ctrl+alt+t terminal window hotkey (minor).
2) I cannot get notifier areas on multiple panels (annoying for multi-monitor).
3) Ran slow on the Pentium 4 machine I booted up yesterday. Switched that one to my first Puppy Linux install, and am pretty happy with it (although the UI is somewhat advanced for the gf).
Unrelated: 12.04 is pre-Unity, isn't it?
How can they force you into a patented UI design if it's not patentable? (patentable, ie novel, ie f***ing strange)
Do you expect them to actually compete with similar products?!?
I don't know if there is much discussion about it, but it appears that metro, ribbons, etc., are all just a means of enforcing patents to prevent familiar UI design by competitors.

It affected my life today by reading these comments.

You're not going to buy me dinner before I click on your meatspin? Descriptions, please.
Agreed. I would question whether 58% of Americans from ages 18 to 24 could define astrology, let alone comment on it.

What is? You only listed attributes... Oh, nevermind, I see you've plaved vital information where I shouldn't have to read.
Fraking Betalons.
That game had 10 clickers. Totally different.
Laws don't need the word "ban" in them to ban things, and your argument is wholly tangential to GP's.
You're telling me they won't put the pilot in a market telecoms won't touch with a ten foot pole? Evil!

They used to change the maximum age every year. Hurt my feelings.
They never said Earth years for that matter. Pick whatever periodic event you like!
Taking parent's post for granted, MiniDuke appears to only target Windows:

I for one greet our new Lavos/Ragnaros/Dolomite Robot overlord.
We'll get over it when the human brain starts being rational (read never).
The Microsoft version will be Livebetes -- It's a feature. Hello world! I've got Livebetes!
They'll have to mash the corn with some A/B amylase and limit dextrinase!
I'll drink to that!
In fact bandwidth often comes at the expense of latency!
Catching up to the closed AMD drivers is a pretty low bar if we are talking about Linux performance...
You're absolutely right. Fuck me for wanting to read that article on first wort hopping from three years ago. What was I thinking?
