Because we don't get earthquakes in this part of the world. Ever. There was an earthquake just SE of San Antonio, Texas - the second ever recorded, and about 5 miles from an active fucking operation. Fucking is a really screwy operation that a lot of countries have banned because it causes a lot of problems and earthquakes.

There, fixed that for you!

Comment Re:The science of better Guinness (Score 1) 205

As an Irishman, I don't know how anyone can drink Guinness. I see tourists ordering it with their breakfast sometimes here (granted that will be a breakfast at 12 that looks more like a bucket of greese with a few sausages thrown in) and I feel like getting sick when I see it! Give me a Bulmers any day of the week and no one has formed a better way to store that than in a pint bottle.

Good to see that University of Limerick students are hard at work though!

Quite correct, and agree wholeheartedly. Guinness is to dry stout as Erdinger is to hefeweizen as carrot is to a car. Or something like that. It's no longer a matter of quality, it's just a brand that's succumbed to its own commercial appeal.

Not that large mailboxes, but a couple ones in and around 300 to 500 MB. Windows 7 Pro, 32-bit. Accessing mail server via IMAP (six mailboxes, 'bout 2 GB all in all), two via POP3. No slowdowns; no CPU hogging, no excessive memory usage (hell, Live Messenger is using up 58 MB right now, Thunderbird only 44 MB). CPU usage at 0 at almost all times (seen it jump to 8% on my dual core 2.33 GHz Intel machine). I/O performance is great, too.

I don't know... Seems to me that people are just trying to create solutions to non-existant problems, and most likely in the hope of being able to sell it to someone.

If they do find a solution to the excessive memory usage of Firefox, or it hanging whilst running the Java download manager from Microsoft, I'll cut' em some slack.
