   There's a short story by Asimov where the cause of humour is explained and then disappears forever. Or at least that's how I remember it (proving hard to Google). EDIT: I remembered this a little incorrectly. The story is called "Jokester",

    If there were an easy way to have a StackExchange site running alongside an old established forum it could really kick off. For example, I think the Ubuntu Forums would be dramatically better if I didn't have to wait through 8 pages of post

    I live in London. I didn't mean that you could do all of those things, but for £30/month you could definitely go for a couple of pints a week somewhere nice. Dinner, cocktails, a club and a taxi home is a different matter!

    Jesus, for $30 a month you could: Go get a drink every week with some friends and maybe meet someone in an actual real life bar, sign up for a fun activity like salsa, generally do something you enjoy where you'll meet like minded people.

    I'm sure it'll blow over in a day or so, plus a break from "N Ways to X your Y with Clojure" every now and then isn't harmful. I think psychology and sociology are interesting to everyone.

    I was having this conversation recently - half the time it appears people aren't sure if this drink, this lunch, this film, this whatever constitutes a "date". Very few of my friends will approach strangers, it's always through mutual frien

    Yeah, I have a Dell too and haven't had any real problems, but this illustrates my problem - if I were ordering a new one I'd now be asking you what exact components you have, checking all kinds of forums, and in the end just have to hope I

    Does anyone know if there's a company like System 76 in the UK? Dell's Ubuntu range seems to have vanished. Having someone else worry about hardware compatibility and edge cases would be awesome.
