Back when I processed computers to go to surplus I would DBAN the hard drives and install FreeDOS so that the guys at Surplus could show the customers that the computers would actually boot.
No, it did not say that other species practiced infanticide. It said that infanticide was much more detrimental to us (and what had evolved into us) due to the extended period of helplessness during infancy. Infanticide was much too expensive for us than it is for lions and such.
Look, we already know that genetic diversity doesn't increase at any predictable rare. For most pf life's existence on earth it was limited to anaerobic bacteria and that there was very little genetic diversity. Then the oxygen levels in the oceans and atmosphere reached saturation levels and aerobic live took over. And with the higher complexity of possible life forms, the increase in reproductive frequency, and the over-all speedup of this rocket-fueled form of life genetic diversity exploded.
Let's see... if we stay just with Intel: 8086 4.7Mhz, 80286 (forgot the speed), 80386SX 20, 80386 33, 80486 DX2/66, Pentium 133, 233, Celery 350 (2, one overclocked to 400), P3 500ish, and a slew of Core X and iX chips, and my Xeon-fueled Mac Pros.
If we open it up to other CPUs, well, how much time have you got?
It was the "every fourth door ambush" crap that got to me. It was like you could sense when you were going to get jumped from behind when you went through some doors. I started walking into rooms backwards and taking out the ambushes every third or fourth door. I got as far as the Delta Lab before just losing interest.
And let's not even talk about the utter shitpile that is Rage.
Ask anyone who has worked in a public library: if you give something away for free people will demand the moon and bitch like mad when you don't give it to them.

Yep. Some boards have posts that last weeks. /b/ is the only one that grinds through content at breakneck speed.

Copy Con > myjob.bat. Editing is for wimps.
"What evidence do we have that the Roman Empire existed?"
Well, there's all the ruins stretching from Italy to England. And tons of written material left behind.
Try something harder next time.
My office is slowly migrating to 7. We have no plans to go with Windows 8 on the desktop.
And I'm sure all of the materials, and power are provided for free, too. And the design work. Not to mention the shipping costs.
According to the presentation fingerprints are stored in the camera, not in a database.
Held on to that Duke Nukem Forever pre-order receipt for how many years?
That system go shut down by the Church of Scientology. The powers that be fear a populous they can not spy on.

Cancel that. It just started working again sometime in the last twenty minutes.
My domain is completely fubar and has been for two days. Luckily it's just an old-fashioned vanity web page, so it's not a big deal.
You might want to pull that fishhook out of your mouth.

I think they meant "more storage". It's a common mistake.
"You die, and it turns out you were wrong and there is a God. What do you say?"
There's nothing to say. God knows everything.
Getting old sucks... I meant a Celery 333 overclocked to 450. And the P233 is obviously a P266.
As you were.

I guess he's decided it's time to do something about those damned Martians.

User ID 510? Holy crap! I thought I was one of the oldest people still here.
419? And I thought I was an oldie!
Remember Everex computers? Nice PCs. Horrible management.
