No, The Judean Peoples Front.

Ra-di-a-tion. Yes, indeed. You hear the most outrageous lies about it. Half-baked goggle-box do-gooders telling everybody it's bad for you. Pernicious nonsense! Everybody could stand a hundred chest X-rays a year! They oughta have 'em, too. --Dr.J.Frank Parnell

And they whine and fret less than you.
DRIVE that equipment to its maximum potential!
In the beginning man made machine.

Someone probably read it as "the Jew's only crime is surviving" which may have been worthy of an insightful. Either that, or they thought the mod was "inciteful".

I built my last PC with power in mind. Uses less under full load than my work laptop. That, and when the laptop is off, it registers as 4W on my meter (yes, 100% battery charge at the time measured). But my PC, in "suspend", not off, registers as 2W, including monitor in stand-by. Time to operational on PC under 10 seconds, vs over 1 minute on the "off" laptop, and the laptop uses more power for that. In standby, it was 5W, so doesn't save much powering it off. I designed the home PC as an HTPC, but didn't bother to get a smaller case, so it sits in the office, not by the TV, but was designed so that it could go fanless (well, one CPU fan and one PS fan, as few as I could get without significant work) if I ever did put it by the TV.

There's no reason a PC takes so much power, other than people put 120W CPUs in them to run underclocked 99.9% of the time. I put in the fastest 25W CPU I could find, and it's more than enough for 99.9% of what I throw at it (slower than I'd like for DVD rips, but I do those on the laptop anyway).

Or a really crappy chess AI. I remember some from the 1980s I'd play that if you set to "hard" would look 8 moves in the future. You'd get a good 30 minutes or more between moves, once you were about 5 moves out from the start.

Supercool! Now to figure out whose printer to send it to to print in poster mode. Daddy wants to wallpaper a room, but doesn't want to pay printing charges. BWAHAHAHA!

I remember when AT&T got bagged for that. In fact, they were dumping traffic on to others when the final destination was AT&T. A sub in FL going to a sub in CA would leave AT&T network and re-enter because the cheap bastards were 10 times worse than anything you are accusing others of.

Hey, he posted this on /. with the expectation there would be no trolls. He worries the Care Bears won't get enough lollipops.

Droids in real life are built to suffer. To do shit man doesn't want to expend time/effort/health to do. Heavy, dangerous, repetitive, they don't get tired, they don't get hungry, they don't whine about trolls, they don't feel any remorse.
It should come as no surprise that some writer somewhere realized a machine is a damn machine even if you give it a nice voice, a stylish haircut and big tits.
It's a machine. The pissing and moaning C3PO did was a comedy device, not real life. Pursuing philosophical ends to an imaginary problem in a closed system is neurotic on television. Doing it in real life.... well, as long as you don't wear Trekkie gear to deliver the mail or preach from a bullhorn on the streetcorner...

It'll tell your mom you've been boinking a blow up dolly!
There really needs to be a Big Bang Theory with a blow up doll. There just does.

The word "learnt " is part of slang. Slang is not considered good grammar.
The leading dentists surveyed found that leading and trailing competitive publications publish opinions on word usage and are as subject to error as The Enquirer. The name Standard Dictionary of American English is no more standard than Federal Express is federal.
Definitions of all sorts of cultural terms are included in dictionaries. Definitions of all sorts of cultural terms disappear from dictionaries over time.
All this "look a bird" aside; in the several states public school system at the middle school level you were taught past, present, future perfect and conjugated them in first, second and third persons until you thought you would die.
The end result. You are currently trying to use a screwdriver to turn a nut.

Let's get them to volunteer to be the first to go: "Republicans on Mars!"

The fewer of the miscreants on this planet, the better.

http://www.robbushway.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/lenovo_x220_tablet_pc_1.jpg Back when "tablet" was first used, something like that was all that was given the name. Tablets were convertible touchscreen PCs. If only the OS hadn't sucked so horribly, the current "tablet" (large smartphone without the phone) wouldn't exist. There isn't anything a tablet does now I didn't do on a PDA 10+ years ago, the only difference being that the app market is much better because others use them now.

What's this? http://www.robbushway.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/lenovo_x220_tablet_pc_1.jpg Ones like that were the "original" tablets. A full laptop with a screen that could fold flat against the laptop body, some with screen on top, others with screen on the bottom. They even named the pic "tablet pc".
