And the repayments are a percentage of income over a threshold, not a percentage of the loan. Which means no job = no repayments. They got the student loans very right here in the UK, didn't they?
And since you are running Windows 7 maybe you could answer a couple of questions: Does Windows 7 have those "senior moments" like Vista where it will just get non responsive for like 5-15 seconds, just long enough to piss you off? How about networking, does it still slow to a crawl if you watch videos or listen to music while transferring files?
Not seen either, even on my 1.6GHz eeepc. Well, firefox keeps locking up like you describe, but that's the horrifically slow SSD in the eeepc causing it, and firefox's obsession with disk use.
Thankfully, we've now legislated it so that all prices and products have to be primarily advertised in metric, with imperial units only for old people (and written small just to take the piss out of their poor eyesight). Except pints of alcohol, which got a special exception.
This does lead to some stupidities like "1.136l" bottles of milk (with "2 pints" written somewhere) in some shops vs "1l" bottles of milk in others, and people entirely failing to compare the prices correctly.
It annoys and confuses UK-sh people no end when US-icans call "#" "pound sign". Here "pound sign" is our currency symbol ("£"), and it doesn't help that they're both shift-3 on their respective keyboards.
I think he meant at runtime. It wouldn't be hard to detect that a running application was only using one thread out of a quad core cpu and was thrashing the gpu, so then offload some stuff to the other cpu cores.
Last time I encountered a system that badly infected, after cleaning it I put the free version of a decent AV on the machine and told them that if they tried to download anything dodgy again and the AV cut the connection, not to try to download it again. A month later they came back and asked where to download the AV from, because some of their friends' pcs are in similar state and they're sick of getting virus-infected emails from them.
Things do not come out of the destination gate until they have been completely disassembled by the source gate. It was covered in an episode of Atlantis at *least*, with a puddlejumper stuck half in a gate.
My guess is that the scrubbers were organic and died.
As for the air, why keep the ship pressurized with no-one on it? It's not like it couldn't pressurize when it detected the gate activating. Maybe that's why the scrubbers died:P
[1] You probably can store a code pointer in a long, because I think the program counter is still 32 bits.
Nope...
From the info I've seen in Win XP x64's device manager, either drivers/devices can lock any memory range they like, or every device's memory range has to be below the 4GB line; because every device IS below the 4GB line.
I believe DVI needs those flanking standoffs as part of the spec. Every VGA port I've seen has them too.
No idea what they're complaining about there.
The screws holding the backplate on, I'm pretty sure they're the ones nvidia uses to hold the x-bracket on the back of their cards on with. They don't look like wood screws to me.

It choosing makes no difference. It's still 50/50 you win/lose.
Bullet-proof would be not giving a receipt, and being able to trust that votes aren't being changed by having sufficient oversight of the counting.
Haha, me too.
I haven't written to anything but usb keys and flash cards for so long...
Have they changed it? My FF claims its size is "684.77 kB (701,202 bytes)", and that it is a gif image.
O.o

Because of the comments?

".m" would have made so much more sense...

*happy ending*
We use it at work all the time, but it's not really a "home" technology yet.
But how could they NOT have run a simulation of the run using the real computer+software?
I thought this one was interesting: http://www.dynamicarcade.co.uk/Dumping%20Ground/wtf%20filename.png
Strangely the file disappeared when I refreshed the window after renaming it.
I remember seeing some episodes of that in 2000 and thinking the name was out of date :)

Maybe there are other ships...

At least I can change the behavior of the government by voting;
Are you sure about that? It's amazing how many people seem to have been against the recent war, yet the government waged it anyway...
We're getting laughably close to IPv4 address exhaustion without IPv6 support on nearly any home routers...

They only confirmed that it was a mockup, not that the screws were wood screws. Idiot.
Nah, I just didn't find the original funny.
Especially not +5 funny.

More like "any sufficiently rigged demo is indistinguishable from advanced technology"
