DirectX being proprietary and Wine unable to Not Emulate it, might you not as well go with nvidias blob and OpenGL? At least the screensavers look good. Well, some of them.
3D is so 2000. What we need is fast 2D. Wayland and nouveau may be the future. xf86-video-nv never was.
1. What makes you think fasting is any more enjoyable than light to moderate exercise? Repeat after me: "Starvation is painful." With exercise you get pain modulation in the form of endorphines. Fasting... well, no such luck... Your genes are SCREAMING at you to FEED. Constantly. 2. How are you planning to avoid gaining when going back to your body's set-point caloric intake after fasting for 6 months? 3. The less you eat, the smaller the margins and the higher the risk of not getting the nutrients you need. And no, supplements will not magically fix a deficient diet.
True, I have had zero problems with Windows XP / ntfs and Linux in recent years. But what about Windows 7's ntfs? I've upgraded from XP to Windows 7 and I have found that Ubunut Karmic has problems accessing *some* of the directories on the ntfs-filesystems.
Another thing, will windows 7 "enhance" my external HD's ntfs so that I won't be able to acccess it from Linux? The external HD is mostly a storage/backup disk but I use it occasionally to transfer files to Windows 7.
Reminds me of the cognitive bias known as the Dunning-Kruger effect, which describes how incompetetent individuals overestimate their competence (did anybody say middle manager?) while the truly competent underestimate their competence (aka. depressive realism). Maybe competent women are more vulnerable to depressive realism?
You and I are certainly not capable of spotting the non-clowns. But we don't need to!
This is where the collaborative and accumulative nature of hard science really excels. In weeding out the non-clowns. Or really, the non-clown *ideas*. Scientific progress is less impacted about individual, renaissance type geniuses these days.This is because the simple questions have been answered. Solving the remaining hard questions require collaboration.
Cute, the old "they laughed at galileo" adage... Every crackpots favorite.
Folks, we all know about Wegener, Semmelweis etc. How they were ridiculed and later vindicated. Now, why do we remember these guys? Because they were the exception. They happened to be right. They were not your ordinary crackpot.
Students learn best when teaching styles are matched to their learning styles. This turns out to be an urban legend not supported by any acceptable evidence. It could backfire because students need to correct and compensate for their shortcomings, not avoid them. The authors cite a satirical story from The Onion about nasal learners demanding an odor-based curriculum.
Just another sign that the US (flyoverland) is turning into a third world country. Americans, sorry, your golden age is at an end. Your civilization has jumped the shark. Thanks for all the fish!

It's data scrambling.
Encryption is when the key is sooper sekrit, get it?
Thanks. Would mod interesting or insightful.

Actually, don't thank me. Thank Dunning and Kruger man.

Actually it's worse than that. Every 30 seconds, men think about something completely unrelated to sex. It's been tagged WONTFIX upstream for aeons.

Sorry about whooshing you.
My point is this: for every Wegener/Cantor/Galileo there are thousands of Bozo the clowns. This is a strong indicator that the system works.
I'm really sorry if you're unable to grasp this basic fact.

Remember they also laughed at Bozo the clown.

Seriously, spectacular waste of transistors, megajoules and CO2 emission there! My kernel builds in 5:22 using ccache. Single core machine.
Advise colleague to spend some time removing the cruft colleague doesn't have/use from config. It's worth it.
IOW, imagine time has an imaginary component!
