As someone from England, if someone said to me "As a European how do you feel about...etc" I'd reply without thinking about the European bit of the question.
How do people from the American continents feel if I ask them "As an American how do you feel about...etc"?
I'm guessing that if I reworded it as "As a [North|South] American how do you feel about...etc" it would be okay?
To be honest though, it does seem like the USA has hijacked the whole 'American' thing for themselves (not to mention words like Freedom and Democracy). It's kind of a microcosm of how the rest of the world feels about the USA at the moment.
As a Brit I would have to say that the US tends to invent new genres and the UK/Europe nurtures/improves on them until they become commercially viable. Want examples?
Dance music:
Almost all of it (Hood/Mills never made it big until they moved to UK/Berlin, same could be said for many 'big' Detroit or Chicago artists such as UR)
Reggae:
Bob Marley et al
Rock/Blues: (I admit that most of the best Rock/Blues musicians came from the US but they generally didn't make much money until the style hit UK/Europe so I'm only listing the more recent ones who made the recording industry happy)
Hendrix
Rolling Stones
Clapton
Pink Floyd
Led Zeplin
I'm sure my karma is going to be eating dust for this (there are probably loads of examples that disprove my theory) but, I'm hoping, some others might back me up here?
All valid points but wouldn't a major problem with transporting humans (or any living animal for that matter) at 4,000 mph be the acceleration/deceleration?
I mean how long would it take and how big a distance would you need to do it safely? I can see how it works in space, where you want to travel thousands of kilometres and can accelerate relatively slowly but your average commuter isn't a physically fit, trained astronaut capable of pulling 6-10 Gs. And that's in a straight line, what about going around corners, without everyone blacking out?
Is this major road block covered in TFA? Should I bother reading it?
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (long term support) Lucid which I keep up-to-date and I'm currently on kernel version 2.6.32 which shouldn't have a problem.
I also have an install of 12.04 (latest LTS) which I'm slowly transitioning to that runs 3.x so if that doesn't work I reckon 2/3 of the internet will fall over...
Let us assume, for arguments sake, that dodgy Linux drivers were responsible for the hardware defect (by over heating or whatever). Is it not possible that some dodgy windows drivers (or malware pretending to be a HW driver) could do the same thing?
Either way, the cause of a hardware fault could be caused by software, whether you're running Windows, Linux, BSD, hackintosh or whatever. So NewEgg's stance on this (assuming it is HW at fault) should be OS agnostic.
No one can answer that but what we do know is that as of the end of 2010 only 30% of the world's population apparently has internet access. So if only 10% of the world's population likes FB that means 20% who have net access still opt not to have it and not due to technical limitations.
Or in other words, two thirds of the internet connected population of the world DON'T have a Facebook account.
To be honest you're gong to have to know some HTML/CSS at some point. It's considered impolite these days to insist (or expect) that the client side understands Java.
In other words, assume that Java ISN'T supported on the clientside.
Exactly, although I'd have to take exception to pygmy whale being described as an oxymoron. Although whales are generally very large the word 'whale' doesn't mean 'large'.
IMO even jumbo shrimp is debatable, shrimp has come to mean small/diminutive but that is derived from the name of the creature and doesn't mean small in and of itself*, where as mammoth actually meant large before it was applied to an animal.
* I'm actually guessing on that one, if I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me.
3d graphics acceleration (lack of) and audio latency (in live audio/DJ apps) are two reasons I still dual boot. I run VirtualBox on Ubuntu for other applications but for gaming and mp3jing I boot into windows natively.

I'm curious about this...

This exactly.

I have a 5yo Vaio that is perfectly capable of running Ubuntu with XP and Win7 VMs (for testing websites in IE7-9).
My (web designer) colleague has a 5yo Mac that he can't even run any 2yo browsers on NATIVELY!?!
Corners could also be a problem...

BTW, your sigblock is really annoying, are you trolling with that or what?

Talking of which, sounds like a constructive use of anonymous' DDOS attacks, for once...

Ah.. the irony, I'm SOCKS5 through a GoDaddy (euro) webserver and it works fine, quicker than normal, like TPB server(s) isn't getting much traffic...
