We are not alone... unless it's just you and me who read it that way. If that is the case we're paranoidly alone together.

How's the humidity? If you run HVAC equipment in cooling mode without taking moisture into account you can get some moldy and/or uncomfortable results.

Edison base LED bulbs are good for luminaires with good airflow but suffer from drastically-decreased driver life if used in recessed can fixtures.
I'm all for swapping old incandescent cans for new LED cans, but you should do it right with a retrofit LED can housing when you do so.

They're one later.

Those Canadians (and for that matter Mexicans and Bolivians) can be so un-American at times.

The first time I was auto-forwarded to an ISP-provided search page for a typo in a domain name I changed my DNS servers to 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2, and 4.2.2.3.
What benefits do ISP-provided name servers provide?

I would much rather hand over my keys if an armed would-be-car-thief came at my new gadget-filled vehicle than hop in and drive him to his chop shop of choice.
Also, to pass this "security" test the driver's door must already have been unlocked and opened.

Heat pipes tend to rely on phase changes and capillary action or gravity to complete a simple refrigeration cycle.
Convection alone would make a pretty weak heat pipe.

I accidentally modded you down when my iPhone helped me choose the wrong drop-down list. This reply should fix the glitch.

> So, by doubling the core count instead of just calling it hyperthreading, they can generate twice the license income for software producers.

Or, by not actually doubling the core count and just calling hyperthreaded cores "modules", AMD can provide a (low) middle ground between n- and 2n-core processors without doubling the license cost for server operators.

Mod foul-mouthed, off-topic parent up.
Linux from the days of floppy installation was tedious.

Your friend found out the hard way that intelligence and high school accolades had little bearing on his university performance.
He adapted, succeeded, and is doing well; I am not implying that the below patterns I observed were the cause of his particular struggle.

High school teachers who hand out "A" grades like attaboys make students look good on applications to challenging university programs without preparing them for university-level workloads.
Add NCLB into the mix, and teachers may be denied the opportunity to prepare smart kids while too busy pandering to those performing below the acceptable standard.
High school teachers would have to subject students to actually challenging curriculum and provide real incentive to perform by grading tough to prepare them for the real thing.

tl;dr blame US secondary education

FWIW, the minimal Debian installer was a hell of a lot more polished last time I checked.

Why do you people try so hard to find an Ubuntu-of-the-month? By requiring a *buntu you're demanding that people try to hybridize a sickly mutt in hopes of cashing in on the next designer breed of Linux distribution. Wouldn't it be better to start with pedigreed stock such as Debian rather than its confused, unloved spawn?

At a sit-in one occupies a space owned by a for-profit company without spending a significant amount of money. This space could be used to generate a normal stream of revenue if customers were able to purchase goods or services and move along. By preventing the proprietor from bringing in a normal amount of customers' money, sit-ins definitely result in a loss of revenue and likely tack on an added cost; it takes a few bucks more to ventilate and condition a building full of people than to hold an empty building at a steady state.
