FYI: Star Blazers and Space Battleship Yamato (both the original 1970's anime and recent live-action flick) are all the same thing; Star Blazers was the US adaptation of the original series/anime... none of which featured giant robots (though the live action movie did have one, it was a morphed version of the original sidekick robot - it's damned name escapes me at the moment.)

Otherwise yes, I'm an incurable fanboy of the series, movie, etc.

As always, the hard part is getting the data into the computer, which probably can't yet reliably tell the difference between an agitated warthog and an excited warthog, except under extremely controlled conditions; I bet you could do something slick just with audio signal processing if you had one warthog alone in a sound studio, but in the real world...

They said they were monitoring pigs, I'm trying to spruce it up with the warthogs

If you get an update, ever.

Much better arguments, really. Especially OSX. They just can't afford to look lame next to their only credible desktop competitor.

You've run Windows before, right?

A home user shouldn't have to run an enterprise service in order to not have some files they want to save deleted. I considered mentioning that, but I forgot I was on slashdot and thought "surely no chucklehead will suggest using WSUS just to not have some files deleted" and then bam.

I think that's a different competition.

Nah, I just strained my back actually working, outside. I think it was working on the Audi, heh heh. Hopefully I'll get a chance to heal up. Don't worry, I have plenty to do.

I have to read the manual before I try installing this one?

Actually, it reminded me of G Gundam.

Not quite, at least insofar as the Gap.

Living here in Portland (which is somehow an outpost of hipsterdom), Most of the hipster types buy local clothing brands wherever possible (e.g. Keen, Archaeopteryx, etc), usually shift OS/laptop allegiances as needed (the apparent new thing now is to have a laptop running Linux with Docker atop it so you can run any x86 OS you want in order to impress your buddies), and the phones are nowadays either an iPhone or a phablet (the bigger the better).

There are points of conformity but only to an extent, as they seem to want enough minor differences between themselves - to generate interest in them, and/or to generate conversation points.

Mind you, this is only initial/light observation from a graybeard, but it seems to hold up.

Most of the health problems arise due to a mixture of poor circulation and weak core muscles. The standard American diet does not help either.

Just exercise regularly and/or take up some stretching or yoga training. A good 12 to 18 months of semi-frequent (at least every other day) exercise will do wonders for your health.

At work I sit on a large exercise ball. Staying steady on the ball engages all of the muscle groups that go slack when sitting in a chair.
