They had trouble counting each other.

Slashdotocracy.

Politics is a sin, and those who practice it should be forced to repent. If only it were illegal - then only criminals would be politicians. Oh, wait...

Shark troops! Heh heh heh.

These are the first full science results, because the previous results were half-science, half-magic.

Thank you for your feedback. I'll consider your suggestion.

I don't think it was about "safe".

Totally going to have to have one of these with a field of stars moving in one direction, like the windows on a starship in Trek. I wonder how many of these you could have synched up. You could turn your house into a starship.

Not to argue his point for him, (since I do not believe the command line has anything to do with it) but... There are plenty of people who wouldn't churn their own butter, even if it was easier, cheaper, and/or faster than buying it store-bought.

No way you could run Ubuntu on a dime. Dimes have no cpu, no video card, no ram. And where would you insert the liveCD?

I don't think so. I believe that's O(0).

Their newspeak is doubleplusungood.

but making those holes is part of the fun!

You homo sapiens and your time.
