    I agree with you in part. But consider my 85 year old grandmother? She thinks exactly as you do but there's one problem, she can't see or drive for shit! She thinks she can but can't. Are you willing to share the road with her at those speeds?

    Since you asked... The shoe represents the lowest part of the body (the foot) and displaying or throwing a shoe at someone or something in Arab cultures denotes that the person or thing is "beneath them." Showing the bottom of one's feet or shoes (for example, putting one's feet up on a table or desk) in Arab cultures is considered an extreme insult. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe_tossing

    At an after school meeting, my son's teacher's son hit his mother... slapped her face, and she did nothing.

  24. Re:One thing always missing from such stories... on Debian Cluster Replaces Supercomputer For Weather Forecasting · · Score: 1
    FTFA:

    "The major motivation for migrating to an open source based system was cost. Previously, for almost a decade PAGASA used an SGI Irix supercomputer that cost over P200,000 (AUD$5200) a month to run. Since September 2007, the Debian Linux cluster has dropped that monthly figure down to around P10,000 (AUD$260).

    "The other motivation was to increase computing power with less capitilisation. With Irix, our capitilisation was about P25 million (AUD$655,000). With the Debian cluster we spent around P2 million (AUD$52,000) including the migration cost and training," Pineda said." The story isn't about the performance of a linux cluster, but about the cost effectiveness thereof. If you can cut your server budget by a factor of 20 (including migration and training), then this should be front page news!

    I decided to go ahead and blast every email to the deleted folder and then empty it.
