In terms of bang for the buck Dobs can't be beat. You'll get more aperture per amount spent. Add a Telrad and you're good to go. Do not start out with an electronic mount; use real charts. Ads for cheap scopes will tout magnification; that's not as important as aperture and light-gathering power. You'll want at least 4", preferably 6". All that said, expect to pay good money for good quality. If it sounds too cheap then it probably is.

Authors who write to get awards are writing the social justice NOW bullshit. Authors who write for readers are having their lunches.

Most accurate science in a movie since "2001". Highly recommended

Nano has gotten me out of a jam more times than I can count when I couldn't get X working. It's simple, easy to use, and works great.

Things started oing downhill went they went fabless

I did a fresh install of M17 the day before yesterday. I had a couple of hard lockups running Cinnamon. LXDE was fine, and installing KDE is as simple as firing up synaptic and grabbing 'kde-standard'. I'm typing this from KDE right now. It's not as polished as SuSE's but it's stable (so far)

I'd argue that it *was* true in some cases. There are still a lot of air-cooled VW Beetles being used as daily drivers and I had one too until recently. I currently drive a 1989 Volvo 240, every day. Tough as a block of iron and reliable.

Built in 1993. Still works perfectly

I'd love to know what percentage of games are FPSs... They're cranked out like sausages not because they're the best that the companies can do, but because they can be played using a console controller. Meanwhile a reasonably well-equpped PC has far more power than any console, and features a real (gasp!) keyboard with more than 10 buttons! Game makers do shitty ports of titles to the PC; for example, I still have not played Skyrim because of the PC-unfriendly interface. And they wonder why sales are down.

Does he have good prices?

You want a certain type of game to be made? Write one. Then sell it. If it's good then people will buy it. Until then stop complaining how the world needs to change to suit you.

Wish I could mod this to 6

3.3 gallons per tomato? That's a suspicious figure. No, I didn't RTFA, but let's run the numbers... How many tomato plants in an acre? How many fruits per plant? Multiply that by 3.3, and it seems very high.

Mod up 100+.

You beat to it, posting that. I miss my old CoCo
