Heat is not energy*, at least not useful energy.
FU! Welcome to Finland. I'll let you wait outside, while you reconsider how useful heat is...

Why would you want Google as a home page? I type "g search terms" (Opera, Konqueror) or just "search terms" (Firefox, Chrome) in the address bar to search Google (depending on the browser). Or "w search term" to search Wikipedia, or "k search term" to search the work wiki.
Because "g search terms" doesn't, as far as I know, make suggestions and thus save me from guessing the spelling. I usually just hit ctrl+t, g, down, enter and start to type.
I don't know what you're talking about? I had Civilization and Wing Commander on my Amiga 500 (68000/7 megahertz) computer, and they looked just as good as the IBM PC version. More importantly I can still play the Amiga versions, whereas the PC versions crash both my Win98 and WinXP machines. (That's why I hate using PCs for gaming.)
Then get your good old MS-DOS machine instead of those newfangled Windows thingys and try those games on that, or your comparison is like comparing apples and apple cider.
This being the case, something has to give. Either men need to stop behaving offensively, or women need to stop being so easily offended.
I'm finding that the latter is a popular suggestion here on
I also think a lot of people are taken in by a false dichotomy here. Women can (and should) do both; they can do their best to function in our society as it is while challenging its inequities.
No need to wonder: men don't want to grow up, we want to be immature some times, at least I want to. Take away all the fun and games and dirty jokes and you get very dull experience for a male used to that, especially if the work/hobby is the last place where he can have fun. Also men are more competitive (or are we?) and part of that is downplaying of others, maybe with not so nice words.
Of course there are real chauvinists everywhere and competitiveness and immaturity can be overdone, but in my experience generally women are more sensitive to that. Calling me dickhead nets you finger and FU, but try calling female dickhead and see what happens.
As a long time Battle Tech fan I must mention Megamek.
Quote from the wikipedia:
MegaMek is an open source, turn-based strategy computer game that simulates the Classic BattleTech board game. MegaMek is not licensed by or affiliated with WizKids or Catalyst Game Labs, the owners and publishers of the BattleTech line, but is nonetheless a faithful simulation of the game. Exceptions are a few trademarked items changed by the developers (e.g., changing 'Mech to Mek).
Of course if it really was just ATT's way of responding to a DDoS attack then perhaps everyone overreacted.
Sure... then it was only DoS attack?
I think accepting DoS instead of DDoS no way a good trade.
You may be right about my test being unfair, but the basic point is that a lot of what you see on the Internet is second-hand information derived from offline sources. Ultimately it boils down to the fact that Wikipedia is not a primary source, and that people who learn primarily through Web resources often think they know more than they actually do.
Are books primary source? I thought that they are just derived from from non written source called people. Books are just a medium and even they got their "knowledge" from parchments and stone tablets. Should we disregard books, because they are printed, not written by hand by the people that with the knowledge?
Sending large amounts of irregular wire transfers purely for the purpose of causing monetary damage would most certainly be a criminal act.
I just hope that sending parts of media files for the purpose of nailing someone of copyright infringement is criminal act too...
Why do you need an addon?
Firefox:
1. Triple click to highlight. 2. Drag to empty area of tab bar.
Empty area? In tab bar? With dozens of tabs? Can I have your monitor please!
