Holy shit!
Thanks a lot for the explanation. This happened to my parents a month ago, and I couldn't understand why everything looked clean, but IE was somehow infected.
I removed every link to IE I found, and put a big Firefox icons everywhere they could be looking for Internet.

"First year or two"?
You're doing it wrong. The trick is to put your brain in a position where the only possible escape is to learn the new language, and learn it fast.
I made it clear to my room-mates/colleagues/acquaintances that I didn't want to fall back to any other language. They were really nice and patient, and were already laughing while I tried to make silly jokes with my 50 words vocabulary. I had some big headaches during the first month, and was exhausted every day after trying to make sense of the new language.
After about 2 months, I could speak well enough to make myself understood by anyone. I had a great time, and my social life was also helped because locals found it cute that I went through all this trouble.

It translates to "it will look faster than Yosemite, but only after a fresh install. After you installed your beloved programs, it will be slower".
Fun fact : If you multiply all the supposedly "X times faster" since 1984 and take into account the faster CPUs, you'd probably have startup times of a few nanoseconds.

Why? I didn't speak a word of Spanish when I came to study engineering in Madrid, and I didn't speak a word of German when I came to work in Stuttgart. 10 years later, I'm fluent in Spanish and German.
I need human contact with native speakers (and beers, lots of beers!) in order to learn a language.

And Europeans can take advantage of exchange programs too.
My sister spent a year studying at Boston College in 2001 and only had to pay the tuition for her French university : it was less than 500$/year at that time.

Access+Javascript+MongoDB+Visual Basic.
If you manage to use this system, tracking laptops will be a piece of cake in comparison.

Count me in, I didn't understand anything from the summary.

My calculator tells me that 10^16 = 10 XOR 16 = 26.
Only 13 TeV to go! :)

Holy shit you're right.
30% at 47C is about 25g of water for 1kg of dry air, which is equivalent to 3 imperial shit-tons of moisture.

I wouldn't like to clean up after you.
There's a difference between "learning a language" and "knowing how to write clean and maintanable code while avoiding subtle caveats".

Adults are moral entities with agency, and can damn well decide on their own whether to wear a seatbelt or not.

It's not so easy : by not wearing a seatbelt, you make it easier for others (taxi driver and other drivers on the road) to accidentally kill you. It's a big burden that you could put on other "moral entities".

And by the way, usually this argument tends to come up from people who want to claim economics isn't a "real science" or something.

The burden on proof really is on people (usually economists among themselves) that pretend that economics is a science.

How long was your career? The movie came out in 2001.
Also, may I ask what you do?

And by the way, usually this argument tends to come up from people who want to claim economics isn't a "real science" or something. I won't get into that argument, but well, neither is "peace" or "literature."

Those people are right, and you're right about peace and literature.
Nash's contribution was really in mathematics, though, so that's fine by me.
BTW, the best proof that economics isn't a science, is that it isn't even included there : http://xkcd.com/435/

Yeah, we should give Nash a big fine to deter him from doing it again.
