That's entirely false; I'm here _and_ posting!

You also get video over HDMI with this setup?

Stop them? Microsoft helped the Samba team. Microsoft even uses the samba torture testing framework internally for their own products as I understand it. The torture tests catch crap that their own testing wouldn't since it tries to send packets that Windows clients would never send.

The EU is still a bit angry at Microsoft (remember when they had to release all of the documentation on their implementation of the SMB protocol?) and they don't need to be stoking that flame.

Studies have been done; the people that pay the least always complain the most.

Also, if these things works like the Phalanx missile defense system, you have to prioritize your shots because the gun needs to pivot (on up to three axis) to line up the shot. You could wait for two missiles to be closer so you have to adjust your gun less, but it might mean you lose the chance to hit another missile.

AFAIK, it basically works like a disk scheduler in your OS; you optimize to get as much as you can with the least amount of mechanical movement (since you can crunch numbers faster than the mechanical part can move).

Looks like I'm going to be enjoying beer and Twinkies if we ever have a nuclear war. No worries; it's sustained me thus far.

Yeah, I got a Spanish keyboard down at Walmart. I think it was $12. I touch type, so it was a deal. It also screws with anyone that tries to use the desktop that it's on.

Meh. The keyboard that I'm using (Kensington, FWIW) is "water proof"; it has two holes in the bottom where liquids that are spilled into the keys can drain out. It also (in theory) dries quickly after a cleaning because of these holes. Best $15 keyboard I bought in college.
