These numbers are faked. If your stats were accurate exactly 11.7% would be showing Emacs/w3m. Of course, you cold just be a jealous vi user who has no web browser or Rogue client built in to your text editor.
Text editor? When did they add a text editor to the Emacs OS?
Hell, why don't we go back to sending kids who steal bread to Australia while we're at it.
Because we have laws against cruel and unusual punishment now and even the RIAA would concur that an island that full of poisonous things is a crime against nature.

All three are definitely not a single work.
Re-read the trilogy. The ending of Neuromancer (the joining of the two AIs and its effect upon the Matrix) is directly responsible for the creation of the "voodoo gods" that show up in Count Zero, which give rise to Dr. Mitchell's research and Angie's implant. The three books are absolutely one work.
Got them to spell out my name with their ant trails. Wife wasn't as impressed as you might imagine.
That was your mistake, you should have got the ants to spell out your wife's name Women love that romantic stuff!
Huh. Guess that's why I'm still single - my first thought was "Guy needs a new wife." Your idea is probably better.
I have no idea why, but this made me spit beer everywhere.

One of the most profound insights into the nature of human existence was the Milgram Experiment [wikipedia.org]. Basically, most people don't have an internal moral compass: they don't have any inherent aversion to inflicting pain, suffering, and death on others.
Wrong. Even though the participants in the Milgram experiment complied, they all raised questions about it. Clearly they recognized it as wrong - the findings only say that we, as a species, will submit to authority, NOT that we lack a moral compass.
They simply weren't as popular as "conventional" aircraft. I would suspect part would be due to the difference in manufacturing cost, and some to do with customer faith. "I know an airplane with wings and a tail can fly. Why should I believe something like that can?".
Actually the lack of popularity for flying wings has nothing to do with either of those - it's because it's a VERY hard design to stabilize and control.
My phone just rings. I know it sounds crazy, but some people (OK maybe just me) actually prefer their phones to ring like - well, phones. I don't want to hear the latest hit R&B jingle or other such shit. I want to know that my phone is ringing. And sometimes, when I feel wild, I'll change to a slightly different ring tone that sounds like a different phone. If people who are stupid enough to pay for musical ringtones get sued, I say thats just fine with me. I never liked the music that most people play as ringtones anyways. If they start getting fined and sued maybe those people will think twice before turning their phones into random top40 samplers. Now get off my lawn!
