I would have mentioned that only I though some smartass would point out the difficulty to a techie at a shop of installing software on an encrypted drive.
I have no wish to start an internet argument, nor is astrophysics my department, but I would bet you a shiny penny that if you did cancel them nothing bad would happen. Life would go on and all your calculations would be correct. (Assuming you got them right in the first place).
I agree, but I feel obliged to point out that the "speed" of a processor doesn't normally refer to the clock speed. Like was the P4 really "faster" than a fancy opteron?
What about quantum computing, or the next big discovery? Vacuum tubes could only get so small too. Do you not think today's technology will look short-sighted and foolish in 50 years?

Again, my browser browses my hard drive (although old konqueror did it much better). Firefox and IE do it.
Try file:///
Why doesn't control-t (or another shortcut) launch your file manager? Why not use a nice desktop search (spotlight, google, strigi)
Useless stuff doesn't strike me as a win either.
Are you just crazy?
Certainly.
Not that you can't learn both.
If I had 100lbs of cocaine, I'd just buy a new car, screw the garage.

I'd mould it into a sphere of radius .2 metres.
Solution: Good practise,
1. Always keep backup images
2. Never give your computer (or root) to someone you don't trust.
They should teach that in school rather than how to do a textbox in MS Word
I don't know what sort of latency you get on your HDD but mine is slightly faster than my internet.
Does this count as godwinning?
The EFFECT of that could be some silly laws that go unchallenged just because it doesn't AFFECT anyone. That doesn't make them constitutional.
And where did kerneltrap go?
It used to be great for keeping abreast of kernel development but now it just has an oddly appropriate article from september last.
Everyone should just use TeX.
With LyX.
Seriously.
If it's good enough for Knuth, it's good enough for me.
I think you need haskell to determine e that way :)
But where would you differentiate a constant? Like 2 is a constant, but d/dx(2^x)=(ln2)(2^x)!=0
It tells you everything. Multiply it by a distance - you get a speed. Way more useful than the other one IMHO.

Counterexamples welcome.
And how come it's measured in some stupid space unit? It's a frequency so it wants hertz!

It's called SI. Get with the program dudes.
When I divide a second by a second I just get the number 1.
YMMV though.

The individual cores aren't going to get that much faster in the years to come
I'm sure I've heard something like this before...
Not like it has much use in "American English" anyway. They seem to have reintroduced the old genitive; "couple months". How efficient!
lern 2 inglish - I could barely understand that.
If I can block Idle I should surely be able to block badly written posts.
But then we don't even have unicode here..
Who modded that offtopic?
Just because Lost is shit is no reason to downmod the poor souls who still watch it.
My sarcasm detector is showing giving a very strong reading from your title.
Some traditionalists object to the word âoeofâ after âoemyriadâ or an âoeaâ
I object to those words certainly.
How would you even begin to pronounce them?
it's too small to contain hundreds of pages of maths that won't be around for hundreds of years?
