I also agree that you should just hang in there and get some kind of degree. It is a "MacGuffin" and a stupid system but you really do need a degree to open certain opportunities. You will not be left behind by waiting until the end. Also you will never have so much free time as you have now to pursue side interests, so make the most of it.

BTW, at University, you also you have the greatest selection of potential life partners you will ever be exposed to, dive in while you can. Afterwards you might find slim pickings :)

Yeah I do use suspend for short periods, it does work.

Good for you, obviously you have been much luckier in your choice of hardware.

In prison, "work" is the best possible approximation of real work but it is not real work with real responsibilities or control, and there is not real pay and conditions.

Making an "application" based on a digital prison is an approximation of a real app but based on a false foundation. There is no real control or security over the platform.

... because hibernate is pointless and never reliably works anyway. Set everything to autosave and get a distro that boots up quickly.

That was exactly my first thought. Intel didn't price their boards very competitively, probably out of a desire not to annoy the downstream manufacturers. I often admired the Intel mobos but always then went and bought an ASUS instead, the extra money saved can be spent on the processor and RAM.

Exactly, when the hype dies down, everyone will go back to their keyboards connected to static desktops.

However, I actually do run Emacs on my Samsung S3 using a small bluetooth keyboard. Nothing wrong with the form factor if you stick to a resonable line width (e.g. 80 characters). The port however to Android is immature and sometimes dies because Android does not provide all the shared libraries a normal Linux distro would, however, once they get that sorted out it will be better. You still have to prop the phone up somehow though which is not always simple.

I once met David Prowse at an air show in Norfolk where we has doing signatures, cool guy. He taught us a (perhaps ironic if TFA is true) set of words for the Star Wars Theme:

Star Wars
Made me a fortune
Paid off the mortgage
Bought me a car

Obviously it is funnier sang to the theme :)

Please wait for assistance...

Your tourist site with ancient historical monuments is non-notable and the article has been deleted.

So apparently they can do chemical warfare too "biting/acid spraying" and siege tactics - making them die of thirst.

Pretty exciting times in those nests.

Well you will get half of what you want. I doubt you will get the other half.

TFA: "A monogyne colony will accept only the original queen and kill any other that shows up"

I wondered how they kill them, and of course youtube has the answer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OihECopliz8

They just kind of pull her apart. I think she could have put up more of a fight, at least she could have taken out a few on her way out.

I never really understood why taxpayer funded research is written up on taxpayer funded time by taxpayer funded professors. The other taxpayer funded professors are then bought a copy of the article by the taxpayers. The only people who cannot access the articles are the taxpayers themselves. There is not really a good excuse for this in the internet age when the marginal cost of distribution is zero.

Indeed. Why not stick an Itanium on it too?
