Exactly. Also double precision is a requirement for scientific modeling and calculations. Do you really want a 1 bit error on a simulation that took a month to process?

What do the vast majority of people do with their laptops? They play some games, watch youtube, and maybe type up notes in class. Can you elaborate on what "much more mature and reasonable" means? I can still buy two Chromebooks for the price of an iPad and not be forced to use bullshit iTunes.

Windows 8 just does dumb shit. The first box I setup had a touchscreen. The instructions say to move the mouse to the upper right corner. So I move the mouse and nothing happens. Check all the cables and everything but it all appears working. Finally figure out they want me to move the CURSOR to the upper right using my FINGER. The mouse is not even used!

They are fucking ugly. The super square shapes remind me of basic X window managers. Hell even CDE is more pleasing to look at.

You are not the target market for Chromebooks. The funny part is they still cost like 1/8 of what your Macbook did. My mom has a Chromebook and she loves it. I never get tech support calls anymore. Everything just works.

that is the most ridiculous project, even by Make's lame standards.

Shroom spores are legal in canada. They sell kits at some herbal stores I know.

Well maybe your richy rich multi millionaire bulbs last a long ass time, but the normal $2-5 per bulbs are garbage. I have to replace at least one every 6 months out of aprox 15 bulbs installed in my apt. My anecdote cancels out your anecdote!!! so there

I know many people as well who have the same problems. My building manager for instance who manages a 200 suite property. The building engineers at work who swap them out all the time. The balast generally goes and then the bulb is toast. Sometimes they go grey first in the tube, but most are heavily yellowed from heat damage. I like the energy savings, and lower heat, but old ass bulbs are far more reliable.

Work on your grammar, moron.

Never priced a medallion I guess. They don't own the taxis.

Try living where I do. People ignore lights and crosswalks and stroll right into traffic. I saw one unlucky girl not paying attention with the wheel of a van resting on her ankle. The driver didn't even notice until people started banging on his window.

He is rich and powerful, what are you expecting?

Chances are if you're pretty bright then 2600 magazine won't be of much interest to you.
