7" fits fine in my pockets. 10" doesn't. That's why I use a Nook Color under CM7 instead of a bigger tablet. In fact I just typed this whole reply on it.

C'mon, text renders 184% faster, you can't ignore that. That's rendering a line of text in .027 milliseconds instead of 0.0496 milliseconds, definitely an improvement, and long overdue. Who cares that in order to do that you'll need to have 1400 graphic cores running at full speed, using about 0.8kW in the process.

The only things that show up when you google my real name are a few usenet posts that I made in one of the Linux kernel groups circa 1999. That ought to keep some airline people wondering.

Read the law again. It's not "the lesser of" but "the greater of"

As in, the greater of $695 or 2.5% of income. If you make more than $27800/yr, then you pay the 2.5%, if less then you pay the $695.

Agree with this.

Kinda difficult to brush up on polyacetylimidazolidindiones if you slept through that chapter, without dedicating some hard learning time to it.

I got better.
"What's your IP address?"
"127.0.0.1"

There should be a "not equal" sign in the middle. Bad Slashdot! Bad!

Updates bugfixes.

The niche that Slackware fills still better than any other distro is: small, highly customized, floppy-sized (or close, USB stick-based these days) "live" bootable mini-distributions aimed at a very specific goal. Such as system repair, etc. Slackware is just easier to adapt to such a role, because of the lack of those basic features you mention.

Not Walnut Creek, but still Slack 3.6 (Cheapbytes was the source for me). Easier and faster than downloading over 28.8k dialup.

Kila-pascal must be the pressure equivalent of the Kill-A-Watt. It tells you where you're using too many torrs and how to avoid wasting them.

I propose a law that requires all books, even those not having any sexual content, to carry a big label "WARNING: books with erotic content have been linked to sexual excitation"

My credit card has 2 addresses on file. One is in CT (which has sales tax), one is in New Hampshire (no sales tax). That's because I live part time in both states. Then, for digital downloads which state law applies: CT or NH? Will I have to pay the download tax or not?

Is it fancier to call those hydrogen ions? Because they're protons. Proton accelerator, sounds nice enough to me.
