Maybe you had a defective one. I bought one a month ago to replace an aging home desktop and installed Linux Mint on it. Works like charm for the family's surfing needs, Facebook works, flash games works, youtube works, everything aside from 3D games.

What I noticed at first though that it would often lock up after 15 minutes or so and the screen would go corrupt. It was the know fan/heat issues on this one so I got myself a smaller casing (one made for Atom), bought a better GPU fan, replaced the thermal paste on both CPU and GPU heatsinks, cannibalized a heatsink from an old video card and glued it a little over the other exposed motherboard chip and it had worked like charm ever since.

I RTFA and it seems that asteroids each follow their own risk corridors (a path of possible impact points) so unpopulated areas are not always an option. The ocean is a more favored place to deflect it but it could produce giant tsunamis that might cause more casualties than a land impact. (either one would be devastating anyway)

So that's how you turn a /.er to a RTFA type.

Q: Did the chicken cross the road?

I usually think of passwords as passphrases now.

I often use a combination of words, it could be composed of a constant special character, at least 3 numbers, a word that is relevant to the site or application, and a totally irrelevant word like a dog breed, anime characters, etc etc.

I just shuffle a limited number of combinations and it usually turns out to be something like this:
69slashdot?terrier69
42mail!shepherd42

And those MIT kids also managed to take better pictures unlike the overexposed earth taken at ISO 1600 FTFA

You could also try the appsdb list of Wine. ~ http://appdb.winehq.org/ If you browse the list you can find freeware windows games that runs quite well. (the last one I tried and had fun was Battleships Forever)

Bazinga!

You'd be thirsty alright, but that is no moon.

It's like mutating your usual Ford and GM SUV to have more low-fuel indicator lights.
