yo dawg....

my mistake, i have a pro with 8 hyper-threaded cores.

reminds me of pre-OS X Macs--on the extremely rare occasions i have to boot OS 9 on bare metal, I'm always amazed by how much more responsive it is, on a single 300MHz core, than Snow Leopard is on 16 3GHz+ cores with more RAM than that box has disk space. (right up to the Type 2 bomb, failed attempt at typing "g finder" into the interrupt box, and four-minute reboot....)

perhaps a couple examples are in order:

tic-tac-toe: solved (on paper, by bright grade-schoolers everywhere)
checkers: weakly solved (from the standard start, assuming perfect play)

yes, ideally bonded to medium-length chains of carbon atoms for stability, ease of transport, etc.

someone (either Unknown Lamer or jfruh, i suppose) probably picked it up from newspapers, where it's mostly a libel shield: "Celebrity X 'abusive'" is a much safer headline to print than "Celebrity X abusive". It's supposed to be a quote from a statement referenced in the article, though, so this was definitely not a correct instance of that use.

the annoying thing is it's apparently possible to include a current-user (~/Applications) option in a standard Apple installer package, it's just almost never used. i see it in maybe 10% of the stuff i install....

get back to me when we call in air strikes on the occupy movement

acronym overload, somebody call AAAAAAAAAAA!

most interesting wire recording i've ever heard is tom lehrer's physical revue, the earliest recordings of his material that exist. (the last song, "Any Questions", is particularly brilliant.)
