To the Windows Vista haters There are a few misconceptions, the main one being [b]Vista is SLOW[/b]. When Vista was soon-to-be released, the large OEMs (Dell, HP, etc) released what is known as a "Tech Guarantee." Basically, "Buy an XP computer now and when Vista comes out, we'll upgrade you to that free." The Problem? Windows Vista requires a minimum of 1gb of ram to run. This is minimum performance with no extra applications running. XP only needed 256mb. Back in 2007 it wasn't uncommon to see lower end computers still only having 512mb or 1gb of ram. If you run Vista on a computer with 2gb or more of RAM it does fine. One more thing that comes to mind is the extra bulk OEMs add on. As if their low-end computers weren'
Pi =/= 3.14, Pi = 4! Edit: Just so you guys understand, the flaw here is a misappropriation of the Riemann's sum. In 1st year university (or possibly intro to calc, but definitely first year calculus) you will learn that the area under a curve can be determined by dividing it into rectangles. By reducing the width of each rectangle as close to zero as possible, and increasing the number of rectangles to infinity, we can approximate the area under said curve. The obvious answer to this is that you will either have an under or an over approximation of the actual area. This is where the derivative comes in. This picture is, and always will be, a severe overestimation, and just a joke picture.
Double mind explosion! So me and my friend were texting while I was cooking supper, and I sent her a text complaining how the slit in the bag of milk my roommate cut was wayyy too large, and that it poured wayyy too much milk. As a side, I'm in NB, Canada and shes in Sacramento. Apparently in the states, milk can't be purchased in bags. I sent her a picture of the container with the bag of milk inside it, which was about 3/4 full, to which she replied asking how the bag didn't fall out when I poured milk. I then sent her a short video of me pouring a glass of milk and she replied saying her mind was completely blown. I think my cerebellum exploded a bit when she replied with that. Random--I know--and very sad, but that's the highlight of my

Recommend me a decent manga to read online? I tried looking up Bleach, Shaman King, Hikaru No Go, even Naruto... and what not. I'm just trying to find something I can read while at work on a site like mangafox or something. Since they're all liscenced I can't find scans anywhere. I just wanna keep from dying of boredom. PS: I speak English and French.
Pursuit of Vikings or Down the Slopes? I can't seem to figure out which Amon Amarth song has a catchier guitar line? I mean PoV has the chug to it, but DtS's up and down accents make it soooo catchy! Plus the lyrics for DtS is that much cooler! [i]Down the slopes of death he rides[/i] [i]The eight hooves pound like drums[/i] [i]Darkness reigns the crumbling sky[/i] [i]Invasion has begun[/i] [i]Fields of flames greets his eye[/i] [i]He smells the fear and pain[/i] [i]Of dying men in agony[/i] [i]It can drive a man insane[/i] BAH!
