not to be a fun-sponge or anything, but is this really the original posting... I doubt it. Why is the email address "Fahlman at Cmu-20c"? Isn't the replacement of '@' with ' at ' a recent thing? Or is it because I'm a tech. newbie and the 'at' was used in a different manner?
Here in Brisbane, Australia (Pop. 3 million) continual repeat offenders of using more than 140 litres of water per person per day will have the household water supply turned down to a trickle that is the minimal world health standard.
Just opening up programs does not incur multitasking worthiness. Perhaps this is what you need to change when testing your 'products'. Since the opening of a program may temporarily increase processor usage while keeping the bus busy for a short period of time, it only proves than your task scheduler (or whatever you call it these days) can handle idle processes.
Also, might I suggest that you use a great little product called "OpenOffice" if you are having compatibility issues with your documents and spreadsheets. If you like this product I'm sure your donation would be welcomed. Eclipse is also a great product if you are having problems with win32, sorry my mistake, win64 compilers.
A couple of years ago, I was a generation X, but now apparently I'm generation Y!??
I guess I do come under the umbrella that I'm a digital native (Played with my first computer (at home) at the age of 5 - Dad would pinch one from the school he taught at for the weekends).
What significant social event happened around 1965? Is it that generation X is classified as 'post moon landing'? (Yes, I understand a few years difference, but old enough to understand?)
Now there is a future leader. Please mod comment to:

I grew up about a thousand kilometres west of the eastern coast of Australia. Not a lot there. I grew up with the stars and loved them.
Many years later, I had a couple of friends come home with me for a couple of weeks for a break, one of them from London. I remember him being absolutely flabbergasted by the shear number of stars... and colours. He said that he always knew they were there and had seen a couple, but had no idea just how many were visible. He stood there gazing for over an hour.
I think the difficulty here is that a *lot* of people just do not, nor ever will, realise just how amazing it is. Many people have only lived, or ever will live, in the cities. Break out the violin, because nothing will happen here. I plan to work for another five years in the cities and then I'm going up north where the largest city for 1500 kilometres is 45 000.
Nowhere else is the term "libertarian" even known...
Phew! I'm glad somebody said that. I had know idea what the term was about. Just surfing for some troll action.
The only thing I needed to edit manually was to configure my fingerprint reader. That was it. Admittedly, I don't fiddle with that machine much, once it was setup, I've left it that way.
Wow! I know it's a hobby, which means that sometimes the documentation side of things is generally the first thing to go, but I'd really like to read up on some of the stuff you've been up to.
However, to the best of my knowledge, none of them have compared cell phone usage to conversation with a passenger
Driver impairment yes, but i'd also add that you have an extra set of eyes in the car with you to help. Especially if that person is also somebody who drives a lot. You ever feel nervous and look around in blind spots when you are the passenger? Screaming/Fighting/Playful kids in the backseat however....
When Futurama first came to Australia, it was aired 11.30pm on a Tuesday night. It was like this the first year and then it disappeared because of 'lack of interest from the viewing public'. The networks would show the first 6 episodes of the first season and then cut to the fourth season, then back to the 2nd season. You knew this was going on because there were characters that you 'knew' had been developed earlier. DVD's were not available until several years later. If you want me to start purchasing the DVD of new tv shows, air then properly so I can begin to enjoy them. Then I want to go out and be able to purchase the DVD once I decide I like. If you muck this order up, what do you expect?

A single mouse button was NEVER a good idea. It's a terrible idea actually. It was terrible when the macintosh was launched and never got better. If you're too stupid to figure out the different functions of two to five mouse buttons then you shouldn't be allowed to have a computer and you should stick with pencil and paper. I've got ten fingers and I can move them independently. Why should I have to be limited to operating a computer like I have mittens on one hand? At least the mighty mouse fixes a lot of this. But Apple certainly could have put two buttons under the mouse bar, one under each end. Just program OS/X to do the same thing should either button be pressed to make the mac zealots happy and then for other operating system bred people you could send the normal left/right/middle events.
Dude, "System Preferences" -> "Keyboard and Mouse" -> "Trackpad" and play with "Trackpad Gestures". You'll completely change your tune.

no intelligent life here anyway. Or is that the reason to invade? dunno. Back to some Oprah.
I wish it worked the other way too.

Dear Bill,

But you must be in the 17-24 'invincible' age group. But then again, who am I to preach?
