I agree with this 100%. Since I started using Steam several years ago I haven't pirated any game. It's actually more of a hassle to torrent a game, unpack it, mount the iso, get it installed, and hope that it runs normally. Steam

I wonder if that had been worded as American citizen, instead of suspected terrorist, if the results would have been any different. Even so that is still too high of a number of people who are ok with torture.

That sounds pretty creepy but I can understand how big of a factor smell is in regards to dating.

These kind of quotes from a customer should be instant red flags that they are not someone you want to work for. Devilboy does have a good bit of advice about charging an outrageous amount, but it's important to pick your battles. Sometimes

And if I didn't want to take $26k debt what then? I wouldn't have the option of having my parents pitch in, they never were able to save money for college. $26k is still a lot of money for a young person, I went straight into the workforce

I honestly like having 7 choices for which CPU I want in a computer. It's the main reason I chose Lenovo over Dell for my most recent computer. Just because Apple sells items with a few options doesn't mean every other company should.

This is also true for sports related searches. On Google when I search for the Dallas Cowboys I get the scores of their 2 most recent games and with one click I can have their full schedule without ever leaving Google. On Bing I get their l

The notion that we shouldn't try to contact aliens for fear they might destroy us is a silly one. I would rather be destroyed by an alien race versus being destroyed by any number of natural disaster or nuclear war. There's also a good chan

Why is E the most common across multiple languages (except Lisp (which I assume is due to the parentheses))? I assume it's usage is higher because it's a vowel, but none of the other vowels are nearly that high.

It probably gets used about the same amount as the other languages, it's just that the parentheses get used an insane amount and outweigh all the other characters.

I think what the previous commenters are trying to say is that you shouldn't be OK with producing lots of bugs. Sure, you can learn a lot when you make a mistake, but you shouldn't be making the same mistakes.

>right now opera:cpu shows me a round number of 115 tabs with 1.5 GB RAM usage That's impressive, but I can't imagine having over 5 tabs open. It would be impossible for me to use that many at once.

My experience was extremely similar. I think one of the many reasons that Linux has gotten more popular was due to how poor Vista was as an OS. Ubuntu 7.04 was my first intro to Linux and I was only using it because a friend had given me a
