The Amazon cloud not working? Already has happened at least once: http://blog.reddit.com/2011/03/why-reddit-was-down-for-6-of-last-24.html

If you have to ask how much of it there is in the Universe, I suspect you're trying to build something far too big for this Universe :P

CTRL+SHIFT+Click.

It's probably configurable in the menu too.

Just like you don't have a couple of wars going on right now, right?

Love how your comment is modded funny

It's worse than that:
People run their industrial controllers on Windows.

To be fair, the industrial processes run on PLCs (which have a propietary, more foolproof OS) and the "let's see if anything is out of the ordinary" systems run on Windows PCs. So it's not as likely that a Windows failure will bring down the industry. A hacked controller could do fancy damage, though.

I guess I'm alone on this, but I totally hated the changes they made for Civ3 and 4. Resources? Cultural influence? No sir, I'll keep my AC, tyvm! And I couldn't even LOOK at Civ4, that 3d world and no way to zoom out was horrible, I never could get the whole picture

AC seems superior in many ways... The government options were great, the unit design was cool. And I guess we all agree that gravships with frinking lasers and planetbusters were too cool to say goodbye to :)

Most modern calculators let you do something like this:
2 (ENTER)
2+1/ANS (ENTER as many times you want, and you get your result)
You require a calculator that lets you edit the expression for this to work.

My Asus Travelmate has an key and a $ key. I'm still wondering what to do with them. I really don't know what went through their minds when they decided "HEY! Let's put a $ key!", like shift-4 wasn't enough.

What's the deal with those screens? I can't see a thing! I don't understand how somebody would *like* that

Yes there are Uruguayans. But sorry to tell you, that movie actually says "Paraguayans" (or at least, that's what I hear :P ).
Thanks to the other poster for the youtube link!

I find Netbeans VERY superior to Eclipse/PyDev for python development. Netbeans at least tries to help you, PyDev just stares at you... Also, considering that Python support on Netbeans is very new and already has loads of features... I find it very promising in the future.

When I was taking Linear Algebra I used to dream (more like nightmares, really) of linear systems. I don't remember the specifics, but it seemed like I spent hours trying to solve the system, multiplying and adding rows, over and over again.
It didn't seem like a good night of sleep after those dreams.

I guess Linear Algebra does that to my brain :S

I completly agree with you. I play Urban Terror ( http://www.urbanterror.net/ ) which is a Q3 mod. It's graphics aren't super but it's FUN to play.

Also, I *hated* (and never finished) Crysis. I didn't enjoy it at all, the AI was sniping me with pistols miles away while I couldn't even see them, and if I did, I'd always miss my shots. Totally frustrating.

The original (the old old) logo was way better. And the favicon they did is worse than the one they got the inspiration from.

I don't get it, why do they keep changing it? I thought forming a brand meant keeping the same recognizable logo as long as you could, not arbitrarly changing it every 6 months!
