Theory is that Ötzi was murdered. Now we know he was murdered because he was Europe's first vegan and couldn't STFU about it.
What an idiot.

I'd say dying in the snow and being frozen for 5300 years helps with absolutely any problem whatsoever in the most permanent way (except for being frozen 5400 years).
I play L4D2 almost exclusively now, and I haven't had a Win box for several years.
But instagib in Nexuiz or Zotonic and CTF in AssaultCube is still fun. The latter could probably run on a Raspberry Pi. Really love Vendetta Online but it takes too much time. Just bought the FPS humble bundle and the GF is away all week so I hope to expand my horizon.
Coming from the open geek culture of F/OSS beware of rude gamers though.
If we're talking Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, then it should run reasonably well in Wine now. If you've lost the install media that you paid for, there are backups on TPB. Personally, I take good care of my JK cardboard box edition. It's one of the best SP experiences in my life, and the first real multiplayer I tried before escaping into Quake2: CTF II.
The cutscenes, sounds and atmosphere are really great Star Wars material.
I use Windows 8 in our troubleshooting lab. It's just like unity.
The problem isn't the GUI but the crappy proprietary core. If you ported Metro to GNU/Linux you'd have Ubuntu with desktop icons.
Windows' new GUI is the last of its problems. I like GNU/Linux and am biased, but I am confident GNU/Linux is a superior OS; with regards to security, usability, stability and epistemology (computer understanding).
Not to mention that Gnome or Unity (two different things IMHO) aren't the only desktops out there. Most distros include other desktops or tutorials are readily available.
Windows works like an old donkey, dragging its feet and complaining, right out of the box. But there is no way to fix it or ensure against the registry slowdown.
Linux will in some cases require editing a few settings in a.conf (text) file once, and adding restricted/proprietaty stuff once, but usually just works right out of the box. And there's always a way to fix it when you've screwed up.
I call BS on GP. You're just too lazy to learn something different.
Plenty of people only use their computers for basic web/email/word processing and games and the only thing that ties them to Windows is games. I'm sure plenty would welcome the opportunity to not have to pay for Windows (or have the hassle of pirating it) so long as the games they want to play are available on Linux.
You forget that apart from the hardcore gamers, the average gamer will use whatever OS that is currently on the box. You'll need a heavy branding of GNU/Linux qua The Gamer OS (TM) before these guys switch + an option to buy commodity computers without an OS. I have yet to succeed in getting my mythical Windows refunds, usually I'm told to shop elsewhere if I'm "gonna be trouble".
First, I reject the principle of avoiding the truth just to keep the peace short-term. Imagine her stating this nonsense in a party of her peers. Guess who she'll blame if ridiculed!
Me and the GF regularly discuss topics ranging from neuroscience to Jurassic Park and zombie survival strategies. And have a lot of fun!
Second, don't miss the opportunity of exploring something together. Chicks love spending time together so make the most of it.
Third, don't underestimate her father's sense of humor. If he is an archeologist he knows better.
You are right, of course. When I visited China, we spent quite some time understanding who the famous Norwegian composer "Geu-lee-geu" (eu as in Richelieu) was. After going through our composer, we found it was Edvard Grieg:)
Perhaps he felt more important calling himself an American? Shouldn't really be necessary, depending on where you go. I've got blond hair and was treated as a movie star in a lot of places, quite bizarre. Or maybe 'freak' is more correct:P
Typical Septic Imperialism. Why should other people waste time learning your history when you don't bother to learn your own or other people's history.
"Biggest" != "greatest". Unless you speak American, I guess. And since this is slashdot.org, not slashdot.us or slashdot.org.us, American is not the appropriate language to default to.
Sorry, I was writing on my touchphone, so I go with the easiest (read: shortest) way of writing things. Not always very accurate. I was supposed to say that "if you read history books", you'll find that America is more often the denomination of the continent (depending on the subject matter, of course, but to a greater degree than in above literature). Conversely, last semester we did have an American history book (college level) in a class on Ancient Greece, and it contained a lot of references and comparisons to "our society" and US culture, which was very amusing and really stood out.
I am Norwegian and I read Norse history before going to sleep every single evening, so I'm not really sure what you are referring to..?:D
Also you're right! I should have written "biggest", but my English can't always make up its mind, especially not when I'm sitting on the loo. I meant "of largest size". I hope my infuriating errors did not cause too much troubling bowel movements or upset. Try some septic imperialist tea.
The "getting a service" part is network authentication. So even if your IMEI is blocked in EIR or the regional equivalent (it's stolen), GSM still sends/receives.
Unless your phone is hijacked you're referring to GSM comm.
GSM continuously sends and receives "hi guys I'm here" to/from cell towers in order to maintain a connection (and be usable as a phone for both in/out calling) and keep track of time.
The empty space in these numerous messages is what's used for SMS AFAIK. I read a great white paper PDF on this when those CCC guys announced the GSM rainbow table project a few years ago. Sorry if some of the details are wrong.
Get a dumb phone and don't insert the battery until you need it. Newer phones can have internal power to keep GSM in communication without a buttery (I've seen it in 3G modems as well). Of course, you can only call out or accept calls at a period of time previously agreed on with this configuration.
Science is not about proving things beyond a doubt, only ruling out possibilities and discussing the most likely candidates, reaching a consensus until new evidence is found.
Perhaps they don't want to admit it to fellow countrymen?
I know people personally who did it. When Obama was in Oslo, US citizens with residency in Norway were interviewed in a pub, talking about it being a good day to be Murican; several joined in when our topic was on the table, stating that they had lied about their citizenship in situations where it would be socially embarrassing to admit it.
Health experts from all over the world, including the USA, have inspected Cuba's medical sector. I've visited 2 health clinics myself (though I'm not a doctor).
Yes, they are that good, free for everyone and everywhere. Why? Because in Cuba education is king and every other person is a doctor.
Not saying that the country doesn't have a lot of dark secrets, the health sector just isn't one of them. The US has more tropical diseases than Cuba. The #1 health threat to Cubans is the embargo.
That aside, Cuba is an unfree totalitarian surveillance state.

Which from the actual story seems like a more accurate description. It has a human brain, just like a car.

I love sentences that randomly have question marks attached?
Try GNU Emacs!
Because it makes my CAT6A-in-the-wall-of-every-room investment look like a bad decision.
Well I, for one, welcome our insanely rapid Ethernet overlords!
Anyone wanna buy some CAT6A bulk?
You do everything in RAM and on the GPU. Bitcoin mining here I come!

If you lose humanity on the way, can it still be called a success?
You'd probably feel otherwise if you knew that Jobs came with a genius included (Wozniak).

On a more serious note, this may actually work in China, which is a world removed and may have trouble distinguishing the countries.
