I wish I had mod points, not that it would've made a difference since you're already at score 5. You made my day
Just ask him to check it out of the source code repository? You have one don't you
> hmm... did you miss the part where the guy also bitched that interpreted languages are "too slow"?
You know "the guy", happens to be Rob Pike, _the_ Rob Pike, co-author of the "Unix Programming Environment" classic? Also the "Practice of Programming" book and the co-creator of UTF-8. He also wrote one of the first C style guides: http://www.lysator.liu.se/c/pikestyle.html. I'd say he knows a thing or two about programming languages; especially C.
This is what I could find after a few minutes of googling.

For US$ conversion, divide by 50. So approx $200 for the cheapest one but only two channels. The most expensive ones run to $3000.

Which scientist has admitted that it was speculation and not supported by formal research.
There's also a rumor that that the date was a typo (2350 vs 2035). Granted, even 2350 is worrying and we should be certainly doing something about it. But this kind of hyperbole, doesn't do much to the credibility of climate "scientists".
If you're using a tool, you're no longer "remembering"
I have the B202 Linux version running Ubuntu as my media PC. Newegg has this for $299 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883220012&cm_re=eee_box-_-83-220-012-_-Product). I am pretty happy with it as a media device. Super quite and under 20W average power usage (http://event.asus.com/eeepc/microsites/eeebox/en/features-green.html). It doesn't do 1080p but (there's a new EB1006 that does). It's not useful as a home server (only 160GB of built-in hard disk). It does have 4 USB ports, so external USB disks is an option (but that will add to the power usage).
I count my esoteric collection of PDAs and laptops as my toys. These include (in chronological order as far as I can remember) - a Spectrum Plus, a Handspring, a Treo 180, two Treo 90s, a Sony Clie, a Treo 600, a Treo 650, a Sharp Zaurus SL6000, a Nokia N800, an Acer Apsire One, an Eeebox, a Thinkpad X61s and lately a Nokia E63 mobile phone. Obviously not all of them are in working order
I guess I am one of the unlucky folks out there. I have Vista on a Thinkpad X61. No crashes really, but a really peculiar problem. Every few days it will apply patches and reboot. A long, long time to apply the patches and reboot. I login, then a black screen (no BSOD) with a cursor for hours. Tired of waiting, I come back later to see my screen locked. Login again, same black screen. Reboot the box, boot in safe mode, login. Shutdown and restart in normal mode and everything is fine. I've googled for this for hours without any solution. This happens every few days, why Vista has to reboot for every other patch it applies I have no clue - Vista is slow but almost bearable without the reboots.
