except that a lot of that predicted tech came from SF writers

yep, bitorent is now slower than a fly in molasses on Cox cable. It is now much faster to DL using Firefox and the "down them all" add-on

got interviewed and that guy really is himself. Maybe most people try to be standard American when on TV and and speak less standard at home? I suppose standard American in this context is Western American accents, especially California. If so, I think the "standard" was set largely as a result of ...

Your accent is often the way your family speaks. I was raised in the South, but since I sound "American" most people in the US have no idea of that. Only Southerners will ask me if I am southern. This is not because of my accent, I don't have a southern accent, but because I often use use ...

Linux Bear is it a x86 compatible machine? And if it is that new does it maybe have win 8 with UEFI and that makes it a bit harder to put puppy on it. But I know nothing. I have postponed buying new machines for some year now due to the UEFI thing on all the new cheap ones here locally. None of our ...

My birthday's today born 10/23/1953 Otis Air Force Base, Falmouth, Cape Cod, MA and I did not go to work and I will not go to work tomorrow

Time to start distro hopping again. I just bought a quad-core 14" lappy with 4 gig of RAM. All for the stunning price of $300.- This with with a year's guarantee thrown for free because I asked for a professional discount :) It's amazing the savings you can get on what was once an almost 1600 dollar ...

problems, problems, problems I updated a single lib file while running Bodhi and my whole GUI was deinstalled for some reason. Bodhi, while very fast has some problems and you certainly do not want to use Ubuntu's auto updater, It does strange things to E17. .... I went back to the one distro which ...

I use Win 7 to connect to machines at work, so my laptop is capable of that. I run Ubuntu/E17 about 80% of the time because Enlightenment (or Bodhi Linux) is very fast. Anything but Unity. I also like Cinnamon for speed, but E17 is a lot faster.

In Germany you'll not find self-made kits to brew beer in common shops. I'm wondering if it intends to say: In common German Shops you'll not find kits to brew your own beer. What will it be Karl? I wonder if they worry about compliance with the Purity law? "The 1516 Reinheitsgebot simply ...

Besides, with all the good beers available, why would someone want to homebrew? Taste and strength. Plus it is LIVE beer. Price works out well too. it's fun. it's a lot less expensive, a good home-brewer's beer is often much better than commercial swill and when you get good enough to create your ...

I disagree, Bodhi Linux will outrun Mint or Cent. It runs faster and boots faster on my machines

Either religion should be about something real or it should be named "Live" Role Play or Politics. Religion is very real to those who believe. There are many Christians in the US who are angry with science because they think it interferes and conflicts with their creation beliefs.These beliefs are ...

Could one jokingly make a new atheist definition? Atheist a person that not only lack belief in gods but also often lack the inner motivation to go along with group suggestions on how to imagine barely possible gods Maybe two categories? - Fixed-minded Atheists who do not believe in any gods, and ...

If I ask a lot of atheists then many of them How can they lack belief in gods when they admitted that humans made the gods. They they already belief that humans made the gods. How can they lack a belief in gods when they already belief that humans made the gods. I am not sure I understand your ...
