You might not realize it, but I would bet a lot of money that 90% of the time, you are using less than 20% of the power your car has.

Seriously. If you have a 200HP car, it will do that if you floor the pedal a bit below the redline. Normal driving? It takes maybe 15-20HP to keep a car moving at 70MPH on the highway.

I guess that's why you won't see them with an Android load and a discount. MS has probably contracted with ASUS not to do that.

This is just like Kafkas "Der Prozess".

You got secret laws that people/companies are ordered by a secret court to be followed, and they are not even allowed to tell anybody about it.

Land of the free.

If the washing could at any point catastrophically fail and need intervention?

You mean like never?

Or were you just incompetent?

I remember back when a CD-R cost >$20, and there was still >95% success rate.

Of course, if it was YOUR fringe theory that people want deleted, you would be the one crying about deletionism and relevance criteria.

In reality, the 0.2% of people you drive away that way are typically cyper-hippies that block ads anyway and do not contribute in any meaningfull way to the success of the website, so good riddance.

Get over yourself, wannabe oldtimer.

Even postscript was turing-complete, and it is sure as hell older than you.

For a few months I am consulting in San Jose and driving from Berkeley. I can't wait for all of those folks to move to the cities and get off the roads! Typical commute is 1.5 hours to drive no more than 49 miles. Even getting on the road at 6 AM doesn't beat the traffic.

I am no authority on homosexuality. All I really know is that I meet a lot of gay folks here in Berkeley, and they are every bit as nice as anyone else.

Nor am I a genetics expert. But I know enough to hold a discussion.

You are right that there may be no genetic connection with homosexuality, because it doesn't seem to be inherited in general. But there are intriguing differences such as digit ratio, and we know that many developmental differences can have a genetic factor. Who knows what we will find?

I think the flaw with your argument is that you are assuming that homosexuals don't breed. Not true, and there may also be factors increasing the success of their offspring such as small, educated and relatively affluent families.

Next, do not assume that direct reproductive success is the only possible pro-survival factor. The contribution of homosexuals to the reproductive success of their close genetic relatives or even their community may be a pro-survival factor for genes like their own.

There are others whose opinions are far more principal to that question than yours.

Those who ignore history are bound to make really big fools of themselves on Slashdot.

Go away, troll.
