How about a quote from Red Dwarf: "A cancerous polyp on the anus of humanity." Seems to fit better.

In combination with any other medication that may have already been issued by parents, or by the school nurse, it can have adverse effects. In combination with large amounts of caffiene it may have other reactions. On an empty stomach, and in an overactive child on a hot day at recess (where this happened), especially if their digestive system is a bit weaker than others, it could be very bad indeed, leading to vomiting (which it did) and blood pressure issues (which were monitored as a just-in-case failsafe).

Any medication given to a child without explicitly consulting the packaging and at the order of a doctor can have harm, far more so in uncontrolled combinations of other medicines, and various foods (or lack there of). This is exacerbated when time release medicines are chewed and release rapidly.

John Paul Stevens is a conservative. He appears "left" only in comparison to the hard right composition of the rest of the court.
Ummm, No. Anybody who thinks the framers of the US Constitution didn't intend to limit the federal govt. powers is not a conservative(Stevens also didn't bother to read the Federalist Papers either if his dissent of DC v Heller is any indication.)

Wrong prefix. Some were made to 50Mt with a theoretical of 100Mt (Tsar Bomba).

And I wouldn't want to be in the same ocean as a nuke burst. Hydraulic forces can hurt, especially at any distance where the explosion would be visible through the water.

You do realize you can do .NET development in and for Linux ... RIGHT?

Sure it can! See nuclear summer.

I guess the part where you were answering to a message about a family of clueless users must have confused me. I thought you were actually answering to that message ;)

I was answering that message. That's why I never said the clueless users themselves should perform the setup or administration of such a device. Had I said such a thing, that would be incompatible with the subject matter of clueless users. Instead, I originally left that part open-ended.

But at any rate, take a chill pill.

Chill pill? I can point out the fact that you made a false assumption without getting upset. In fact, that's what I did. Had I called you names etc. your response would make more sense.

Since I didn't, it looks like you're clutching at straws to find some objection to something I said now that your original one was shown to be invalid. Ego is amusing that way. I have one too, you know, so I'm aware of its petty and subtle little tendencies. I'm all too aware of the fact that these go totally unexamined in most people, who usually resent having them pointed out since they are so convinced it's some kind of contest.

If you think I actually care that much about your omissions, you're really overthinking it.

You made a false assumption and proceeded as though the assumption were valid. I pointed out that this had happened. Whether you care about that, or whether you wish to see that this is an easy mistake that is entirely preventable is entirely your business. I wouldn't dream of telling you what you should do with this information.

Just know that if you or anyone else makes false assumptions about me while conversing with me, I will correct them. My interest in accuracy is not a personal interest in you, how you feel, or how much you care. That again is your self-importance (aka ego) getting involved in a factual matter. It does provide a nice excuse to tell me how much thinking I am permitted to do before you judge that I am "really overthinking", but I disregard that the same way I'd expect you to (rightly) disregard any attempt of mine to tell you what you should do with information I provide.

Screen burns is not an issue. I've owned a plasma TV for more than 4 years now. I've tried to produce screen burns with static images with bright parts, but after 48 hours there was hardly anything. You might see something for 3 seconds, but after those 3 seconds its gone forever.

And the resolution thing is bullshit, when it comes to sharpness on video, high refresh rate is everything.

I may seem unlogical, however my 1024x768 plasma has sharper image when it comes to videoes than a 1080P LCD. This is because of the high refresh rate and that plasma has subpixels.
LCD is sharper when it comes to still images, but I still wouldn't show my DLSR images on a LCD TV because the huge lack of colors and contrast.

I think you should go and buy a plasma just to try yourself!

Better still, use vi to start building your inscrutable guru reputation early.

I think the limiting factor is the SATA bus. Pack a 3.5-inch drive with NAND and a good controller and you will absolutely swamp a 3Gb SATA bus.

The typical IO bottleneck is due to IOPS, not bandwidth. Most people using SSDs would still see the same improvement on SATA1.

Do you live alone? Not a jab or anything, but kids and other people just move stuff for no reason. Yes, there is a "landing pad" for wallet and keys, why do they move what's there? I have no idea, but they do.

I just keep keys and my wallet in my bag or in my coat pocket now and I hang my coat up and my bag (some people have briefcases) is put away. If I don't have my bag, I probably don't need all the keys, and so I just take what I need.

Simple. And I don't care if I carry a bag around; I've got useful stuff in there.

FTFA:

2K Sports kept the contest open for two months and couldn't believe what they saw when they reviewed the time code on McGilberry's perfect game. Was it really possible that a gamer threw a perfect game in the first 24 hours the game had come out?

Looks to me like they kept entries then reviewed them once the 2 months were up.

We are talking about the internet. The web. And marketshare. Sorenson Spark and On2 VP6 are the winners, and h264 is tiny, almost vanishing by comparison.

We are talking about cell phone video.

Webcams.

Camcorders.

The Flip Pocket HD at $125. The Sony Handicam at $3500. A casual search of Google Shopping returns 3,600 hits for "H.264 camcorder."

Industrial and home security video. "H.264 WiFi Camera," 1,200 hits.

We are talking about services like Netflix and Hulu. Home video standards matter when the decoder is built into your Internet enabled HDTV, video game console, Blu-Ray player or STB.

That decoder will be H.264 not Sorenson Spark.

We are talking about hardware accelerated H.264 video in Flash and Silverlight.
