Is that a sign that working isn't fun?

What registrar do you recommend instead?

Probably not, though. The latency is probably not that big. It's the army infrastructure, not a random counter-strike server, after all. Latency from US to europe over the internet can be as low as 50ms. Afghanistan is not that far from Europe, there's probably good infrastructure connecting europe to some place close to afghanistan. Overall, I think the latency should be reasonable.

Here in slashdot we don't care about science. It's overrated anyways. We donate our souls and bodies to RMS, so he can set us free.

And stealing from pirates affects the sales, price and employment in the piracy industry.

It's funny how IE always shows up first and, only then, they are randomly reodered (at least on firefox.)

I'd say he's pretty much the avarage PhD student. Anyhow, the good thing about a PhD dissertation is that nobody really cares about it anyway. When I got to college I thought I'd see science in the making if watched presentations by PhD students. What a disillusion... It felt like I was in a party watching some dude showing off, the only difference is that the PhD student will use graphs instead of drinking straight from a keg. You can almost hear the guy saying "please aprove me!"

The group doesn't care. They do it for the lulz.

Except that apple is probably much worse than MS when it comes to DRM. You can't even save certain files on iphone, or so I've heard.

Wow, a huge 7 years between games. You never played duke nukem, have you?

Another popular distribution, debian, did things right and its stable version, lenny, has kde 3.5. I recommend debian, I've been using it for years and I find it the best one out there. Unless you're one of those guys that absolutely must have the newest software available for whatever reason.

You try it, it doesn't feel right to you, you go back to the version that worked for you. Later on in your life you may try again and switch. What's the big deal?

I only upgrade my software for two reasons: missing features or curiosity. If the system is open to the world, I may upgrade due to security reasons when I see fit (that is, follow the important bugs, patches, etc). In any case I don't see a big deal with a version of the software sucking. If it's not open software, then you're locked in, you pretty much have to upgrade things when the author thinks you should; now, for open software, if a newer release suck, I'm sure the old one will still be maintained by other people, perhaps even myself. BTW, KDE probably wouldn't be installed in a server anyway.

If not even you can reproduce your own research, what does it tell you about your metodology?

Very few people in Canada use sir and nobody uses ma'am. When I travel to the US I feel uncomfortable when people call me sir because it makes me feel old.

The only people I use a title for are doctors and only while in a professional context. If I were to see my doctor at the mall it's hi Dave.

Let's see how this "3D hype" goes. I remember when VR was the hype. It was the future of the game! Heck, the future period. I'm in the future, where's my virtual world where I can live a better life along with my virtual friends without ever leaving home? Where's that world of wonder where everything is possible and I'm a superman? Where's -- oh, wait, nevermind.
