Thats why you will only have 1.9 children instead of 2.1. You and your wife wait longer, wait until you're 'financially ready'. ....and apparently many other couples as well.

Then shut the fuck up.

I have been using my TI-85 for some online classes recently. I suddenly realize how much I love a backlit screen!

What archaic hardware are you trying to run it on? I am so old that I remember the hours(!) it took to get my sound card working on FreeBSD in the 90's.

I recently installed Mint on this old Dell desktop with no problems at all; including a newish ATI graphics card. No headaches, no compiling of utilities or messing with X.

I don't give any credence to your argument. I have been in the trenches with *nix for almost two decades. Mint won me over from Suse, who I thought was the most user friendly.

From the article: "probably the most destructive attack that the private sector has seen to date" ... and then "Saudi oil operations were unaffected by the computer outage". Wow, that is truly destructive.

As any virus will tell you, ... you don't survive by killing your host.

Is there going to be a donotwant button too? (reserved for slashdot members)

Sooo, with the first to file system, it is not only first-to-file, but first-to-file-with-the-most-money to tie you up in years of litigation before you give up. Sounds great.

I work in the aviation industry. I hate to break it to you but I have talked to pilots who admit to playing games on their laptops while flying. It gets boring sitting up there for hour on hours every day.

In related news Andriod devices are not allowed in the cockpit becuase Apple has a patent on "using handheld electronic devices in a cockpit".
