You make an awfully lot of sense.

This, plus dual screens are good for doing OTHER stuff than working, when you're into programming enough, you won't focus on much else anyway. But hey, there is a facebook update* on my other screen!

* Disclamer: I don't have facebook.

So obvious, I predicted it as soon as I read the first story.

So... you want a cookie?

I live in sweden, I don't have to care about stuff like that.

... the work day got about 0.6 microseconds shorter, woo! Oh, wait....

We have one in europe, you are welcome to join I'm sure. You just can't walk in and demand to be in charge from square one.

Hey, the Russian went to space first anyway, it's not like americans were at the bleeding edge.

So true. The americans needed to take initiative so they developed a plan to land on the moon, and then JFK told everybody that this was the most important step in the universe so far and the first one to accomplish it would rule the world. And it became true. But not because america landed on the moon first, but because russia was bleeding money faster than the us and had to give up the race first.

The next time someone will be on the bleeding edge is when someone (china is my guess) will announce that they plan a manned mars mission and from that point in time (or when it's actually successfully executed) they will be the new rulers of the world, a title that usa have taken on itself for the last hundred years or so, give or take.

Humans live to explore, the ones that explores the furthest are the current numbero uno. Always has been, always will be.

It's actually a trap.

Or just have the suits outside, which youi then crawl into from a hatch in the back, the whole time like in the new space car that Top Gear showed in their last episode :-)

This would be the perfect application of the cross bow project.

Kudos if you know the reference :-)

Interesting. Next time my mother wines about the computer perhaps I should take a ubuntu live cd over to her place and show her around... I've tried this many times but I think I have to simplify ubuntu further to get her to not nod it down as too complicated, like for instance removing the multiple desktops which are ace when you know how, but just "where did my window go?" for beginners...

I made sure she ran firefox and her mail is web based plus she mostly uses the computer to manage photos.. perhaps you have a good solution for that? I'm currently running digikam but that's almost to complex.. perhaps I could use dropbox for galleries..

And then they wonder why they can't play their newly bought game? Or the game that someone gave them on x-mas?

I'm an avid linux user, but I'm yet to push it onto my family or friends because they have other needs than me. As parent said, windows compability is key for those people.

Tho, it should be said that with the new webgl to html5 there will be a LOT of change I think, regarding to games. If you can play a game safe in your browser, why use seperate executables? I think this is a whole new era, so devs: get your webgl skills up to date ASAP!

Really? No print option? What's the point. Fcuk the ads.

Just an icon with a chair would be funny and insightful at the same time :-)

Learn from the guy, you update to a newer version of course.
