They're not stupid. They're conspiracy-theorist tinfoil hatters who believe that phones can be tracked even when off (and possibly with the batteries out).
More than anything else, this is what holds the Muslim world back: they refuse to believe anything bad about themselves or good about the West (much less those infidels on the Mediterranean coast), and they're all too willing to rewrite the history books, censor the newspapers and even invent false technological information to maintain the illusion.
One of these days the truth will hit them: they are one of the most arrogant, poor, ignorant, and backwards sections of the world as we know it today.
How, exactly, are citizens of the UK (and less so the USA) supposed to fight for their rights again?

Very eh towards the supposed need for top-of-the-line graphics hardware. I play Portal at fairly high-quality graphics (THE CAKE IS A LIE) on an NVIDIA 8600GT mobile, on Wine, under Linux, at full frame-rate.
Ah, the local bar, where anyone under 21 is forbidden to go and horny frat/ex-frat boys try to pick up bleached-blonde bimbos, neither of whom has any good taste in drinks or can dance for their lives (applicable at clubs/discotheques).
I don't have a hard time meeting people. I have a hard time finding a setting that allows me to meet people in such a way that I learn all the cool and interesting things about them rather than deciding whether to pursue a friendship, hookup or romantic relationship based entirely on appearances.
Oh, and joining brick-and-mortar clubs or organizations (I belong to several) seems, for some reason, to always mean a sausage-fest, ie: the more specialized the interest the more men.
Well that's pretty damn weird. I've had the opposite experience installing Ubuntu Linux on my Macbook Pro. To install a restricted codec I just double-clicked on a file of the appropriate type and selected the best-rated library for the job. Type my password in for security reasons, and it's done.
The only thing I had to open the command line for was "wine msiexec/i Steam.msi" to install Steam (which, coincidentally, let's me run Portal and Audiosurf beautifully).
This is true, and it's why I stopped recommending Linux to people. Instead, I recommend "Ubuntu" or at worst "Ubuntu Linux". That way there's no doubt about what a newb should use, and they get a brand-name. Hell, I use Ubuntu and I've been running Linux for years. It's just the easiest way to make everything work.
Actually, the biggest reason I know for the aging-out of comic books is that they refuse to start and stop the stories in any rational place. Why should I spend the money to buy an Amazing Spider-Man #1 (I've enjoyed the films and '90s animated series.) or whatever and read the "complete" story that I need to pick up and understand the latest issue when Sluggy Freelance (a webcomic that causes comparable confusion if you drop in on the middle of a story) offers free access to the archives going back to the first strip? Or when mangas actually have stories that start and stop, allowing me to read one book (or one cycle of books) and be done with it?
That's why comic books are dying: nobody wants something with so much unknown backstory.
or big O notation; I think they were all out getting a lot of Big-O's instead of studying These are CS students we're talking about here, if they've had a Big-O they didn't self induce then bless God for that!
But seriously, big-O notation is a notation for indicating time or data storage complexity of an algorithm by showing the largest component of the complexity expression as a mathematical function of input-size n inside a big "O" for "order of complexity". Ex: O(n) (linear), O(n^2) (n-squared polynomial), O(log n) (logarithmic), O(c^n) (exponential), O(1) (constant). I had to learn this stuff to pass the Computer Science AP test in high school, what are you trying to tell me about Comp. Sci. graduates not knowing it?
They should have updated their OS X version of VirtualBox more often. I just switched to dual-booting my Macbook Pro with Linux (dead easy with rEFIt and Ubuntu), and I'm never going back from having the full use of my Geforce 8600 GTS available in Portal.
You live outside America, don't you? Here, those of us under 21 (highest drinking age in the fucking world!) aren't even allowed into a pub.
Sunday night my friends and I needed to get into the cold as we waited for a ride home from a concert. We tried ducking into a cocktail bar, only to find that we needed to prove our age as 21 just to be there. Why? "Sorry guys, I'm not going to lose my liquor license for letting you guys in."
It's not just illogical, it's immoral. How can you make the drinking age more important than letting people in out of the single-digit Fahrenheit cold?
I've had the exact opposite experience. When I needed a programming environment on my Macbook Pro and virtualization of Linux ran slow as a dog, I decided to dual boot. From what I had previously heard, I thought it would require dark arts just to make the thing boot.
Instead, I found that after installing rEFIt I could install Ubuntu normally from the CD. Gutsy Gibbon booted and handled pretty much all my hardware perfectly. I just had to manually install one package that handles my Mac-laptop keyboard buttons (backlight, audio volume, etc). All the other hardware is recognized and handled automatically.
It's a tradeoff. I don't have Expose, iLife, or Mac ease-of-use under Ubuntu and it doesn't handle the multitouch scrolling on my touchpad, but for once I can actually use the NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT they stuck in this thing to its full capability! Thanks to that, Portal under Wine on Ubuntu plays far better and faster than the same game under Crossover on Mac. I'm currently typing from Firefox under Ubuntu.
Bingo. Especially because they've neutered blue (and in fact all colors, but blue the most), they keep trying to play Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors with the color wheel, and they refuse to print really powerful cards that aren't creatures and don't work with creatures.
Oh, and they stopped printing Counterspell. WTF man?

This is, of course, because Linus and the gang are obstinate and refuse to create so much as a stable driver API, let alone ABI.
