If it's good enough for Protectors, it's good enough for us,

Look, we already know that genetic diversity doesn't increase at any predictable rare. For most pf life's existence on earth it was limited to anaerobic bacteria and that there was very little genetic diversity. Then the oxygen levels in the oceans and atmosphere reached saturation levels and aerobic live took over. And with the higher complexity of possible life forms, the increase in reproductive frequency, and the over-all speedup of this rocket-fueled form of life genetic diversity exploded.

I think they meant "more storage". It's a common mistake.

"You die, and it turns out you were wrong and there is a God. What do you say?"

There's nothing to say. God knows everything.

Getting old sucks... I meant a Celery 333 overclocked to 450. And the P233 is obviously a P266.

As you were.

Let's see... if we stay just with Intel: 8086 4.7Mhz, 80286 (forgot the speed), 80386SX 20, 80386 33, 80486 DX2/66, Pentium 133, 233, Celery 350 (2, one overclocked to 400), P3 500ish, and a slew of Core X and iX chips, and my Xeon-fueled Mac Pros.

If we open it up to other CPUs, well, how much time have you got?

I guess he's decided it's time to do something about those damned Martians.

It was the "every fourth door ambush" crap that got to me. It was like you could sense when you were going to get jumped from behind when you went through some doors. I started walking into rooms backwards and taking out the ambushes every third or fourth door. I got as far as the Delta Lab before just losing interest.

And let's not even talk about the utter shitpile that is Rage.

1920x1200 in glorious 16:10, as God intended. (And 1536x2048 on my tablet in glorious 3:4, also as God intended.)

Ask anyone who has worked in a public library: if you give something away for free people will demand the moon and bitch like mad when you don't give it to them.

Just like the last election, I find myself voting not for anyone I really want, but against the evil foisted upon us by idiots and religious lunatics.

Janeway was a psychopath and a genocidal murderer with no respect for the rights and borders of other sovereign nations. She was a perfect reflection of the Bush years.

User ID 510? Holy crap! I thought I was one of the oldest people still here.

419? And I thought I was an oldie!

It really depends on the book. Reference books get written in like crazy. The margins tend to get filled with copious notes. Art and literature get treated with more respect, especially art books. My old and rare books get looked after quite well.
