Give me 3 programs that are worth watching television for.

All that reality/talent show based stuff, it just confronts me with the stupid of humanity. I don't want that. And reruns of 80's/90's movies with infinite commercial breaks aren't cool either since said 80's and 90's.

- Blood 2 (Cabalco deathrays in HD!);
- Redneck Rampage.

Retro American motto of defiance: "Don't tread on my junk".

You found the Russian hideout!
The red planet just got more red now.

Soviet Mars welcomes you where you welcome Soviet Mars!

The obligatory XKCD comic.

That term is so 90's. Why are we still calling it that? Shouldn't it be 'nanochip' or something like that?

From a professional tester point of view, let someone else do it. It's wise to do a developer test but actual functional testing is best done if someone else does it (a dedicated functional tester for instance). Firstly, that other person has a different perspective of the piece of software because it reads the requirements and hasn't seen the development process you as a developer did (the functional tester will press buttons differently). ;)

Secondly, you don't have to spend lots of time figuring out how and what to test. Which is more efficient as you can spend that time on developing other software. :)

Software quality becomes more important everyday and only just recently more companies are hiring dedicated functional testers to test that, which you find a tedious task. :)

I love the work in this field but Modular Prosthetic Limb or 'MPL' doesn't really fit the usage. Functional Arm Prosthetic or 'FAP' might be better.

Pfff... I never like recovery discs. Every grain of personalisation is gone since the company you bought the computer from placed their wallpapers and custom themes all over the place. Even worse, the harddrive is littered with trials of virusscanners or other advertisement software. Always had that personal drive for your music? It's gone! The last recovery disc I used also 'restored' they drive mapping replacing all partitions to make it factory default again. And there is nothing you can do about it. No settings, no parameters you can set. C drive was wiped like it should, but forget about other partitions and everything on it aswell.

I HATE recovery discs. Just do it yourself by loading a boot diskette/USB/other external device and install a clean copy of your favorite OS which mostly can be ripped from the recovery disc themselves.

Slashdot answer in 3..2..1..

Everyone knows that we don't need more then 640k.

I think they should give it to the 'dear leader' first. We won't want him to die nou won't we?

My guess is that it's one of those 'If you hadn't downloaded it, you would have bought it' kind of study.
I have spend so much energy in this subject that all that I have left to say about this matter is: 'This study is silly'.
