You should go reread the GP's post. He was typing "octets" into Netscape... I believe that refers directly to IP adresses... or do IP addresses not use octets in quadruple anymore?
I think the parent was implying that he left it ON all day for weeks, but just wasn't talking on it. If he was just leaving it off and using it as a paperweight, how would he be using it to tell time? There wouldn't even be a point to posting if he didn't use the phone in a turned-on state. Your attempt at being snide failed due to not thinking enough.
Very off topic, but you did reference your sig. I think you should go look up the English pronunciations of those words because:
- "owl" doesn't sound like "oll", even remotely
- "wise" doesn't sound like "ways", even remotely
to me, sounding that signature out sounds like: I owel wize ewws a spill chucker so I no mai spelling is core wrecked"; note that "wrecked" and "recked" don't sound the same
"always use a spell checker so I know my spelling is correct"
Except, of course, for all of the debugging code built into the dev-branch executable that wouldn't normally be there (both inline and out-of-normal-scope). All that extra code actually equates to a slower experience...
Think of how much electricity would be wasted, on a very large scale, if every computer-based operation took 50% longer merely to make it seem like it was "responsive"... your ideas are scary, both from a programmer's point of view and from a utilitarian's point of view
Actually, I read somewhere that we know, with 100% certainty, that ONE of the factors is BELOW the square root of 21, so, roughly between 1 and 5. That means the OTHER factor can be anywhere between 5 and 21! You only have to find half!
I think you need to read up on Steam. Personally I like it, though it does definitely have its pitfalls. However, the main point you argue about it (thinking you would lose access to it, is negated by the ability to burn ANY of the games you download to a CD/DVD and you also have access to the cd-keys that come with YOUR game).

Also, offline works great for some games. I have bought Fallout 3 through steam but I don't play it anymore. However, my roommate still hasn't beaten it, so he plays it on his computer through steam in offline mode while I play TF2 or any other game I've got at the same time. No hassle, no worries, and of course I've got the Fallout 3 and Orange Box DVD's sitting right here, burned directly from Steam, which work perfectly.
The problem is that you actually feed it like a human: on a schedule or something similar to it. Sadly it might not work anymore, but I find that just leaving food out 100% of the time for the cats means they eat what they NEED when they want it, and the rest of the time leave it alone. I currently live with 3 cats who are all in great shape, contrasting with everyone I know who feeds theirs on a schedule: the cat ends up being starved or overweight. Feed them like cats; give them food all the time and let them decide when to eat like a feral cat would. The act of giving only certain amounts works like it does in prison (eat everything you are served or you might lose it or not get mored since you have no control). Giving them the choice/option of when to eat means the cat usually won't overeat as long as it hasn't been trained to eat 100% of what is available when it becomes available (probably the situation your cat is in, which is exacerbated by you succumbing to that temptation you mention).
But I'm entirely sure, as a girl, that your Oath wouldn't have mattered even the slightest bit because any of the other people (men) in the computer room would most likely have been excited at the prospect of helping you out, even if you did happen to already know the material. Considering where they spent their time, it might have been the only cross-gender exposure they could reasonably get.
And I'm entirely certain if you had asked him to dance at Prom or Homecoming he would have started hopping up and down moving his legs back and forth to the pace of the song...
Left4Dead is rated as "Gold" on WINE's AppDB for Ubuntu...
For a fact, most of Valves games on Steam do as well. Check the AppDB and see if you wouldn't be better served with WINE. Personally, I hate having to emulate so much of windows to get some of my older games to run (Conquest of the New World, Caesar 3, etc).
Though I'm a whore for Visual Studio + Visual Assist X (I have to develop for windows apps), QT Creator has become my new standard IDE for linux. I use it for writing non-QT apps in c++ and it's great. The out-of-the-box Subversion integration kicks ass too.
You are forgetting some of your basic thermodynamics...
That energy would have to go somewhere, it isn't "lost" in a closed system. The "closed system" in this context is the ENTIRE universe. If the entire universe is shrinking back into itself, using your supposition that we would be losing energy, then the entire universe would be bigger than the entire universe, so that leads to contradiction and you're incorrect. Because the closed system would be the shrinking universe, when it finally collapsed back into the singularity, all energy/mass would be at that one spot, because the universe would be defined as that singularity, anything outside it would be outside of the universe (impossible, right?). This could lead to a perpetual machine because when considering the entire universe, nothing is ever completely lost, just moved (as we currently understand it). If it shrinks enough, implodes->explodes, we could have perpetual big bangs.
Since I'm rich, I won't tell you you are generalizing something you don't understand and aren't/haven't been/won't ever be part of thereby making a fool out of yourself calling us rich folks not nice.
It wouldn't be nice for me to call you a totally ignorant prick.
I'm about to flip out and kill somebody, namely the writer of that last article. First off, if you are a journalist, "powned" shouldn't be in your vocabulary. Secondly, its "pwned."
Hopefully no ones mods me, but there are logical fallacies in your argument and I'd like to correct the spelling mistake "hoard".
People working longer doesn't add money to the system. People don't magically create money from nothing. People add inflation.

Flash IS opt-in by default. You have to install the Flash plugin for it to work at all in the first place!

No, then it holds, even more so, that we know that one is between 1 and 5! Just might mean so are the others too!

I find it difficult to think they will think once, let alone twice, after they each get a few bullets in the back of the head.
I don't think Que means what you think it does. "Cue" might be what you are looking for.

Check out ThinAnywhere... its amazing. (Albeit expensive unless using it for large-scale applications)
