I've spent my evening researching boring stuff for my boring essay and i feel cheated out of an evening.
I love learning at uni but I cannot wait to be free of essays.

Dude that made my wallet hurt.
@Synvael: Do be a dear and cry into my chalice. Tears, they taste so good.
Not yet... I saved the money for TW3 CE now I'm saving it to buy a PS4...You have one of "new gen" consoles? If so then you're safe and please don't cry...
Too bad that some books and comics have decided to come out at the "right" moment, so it will take me more time.
Truth is... I'm waiting for sales *heh*
My birthday morning unfortunately started with studying and the day ended with studying as well, lol. Can't escape it. Had tests today, so.
School sucks ass.
Pray tell, what books and comics? And maybe with the XB1 dropping, Sony will look to do a drop as well. Guess it depends on how the sales go this holiday season.
Nah, Kelvin is Linux. Better than PC, but Celsius is more widespread and has more user friendly applications.
But GNU/Linux IS a system for PC's
And for scientific computing and general research there's nothing more user friendly than Linux
Back to budget for PC's, I normally spend around 1000-1100 on computer parts every 3 to 4 years, not including peripherals, monitor, etc. And that's just enough. There's always a sweet spot for each generation of hardware, unless you're into the whole firestrike ranking thing.

Damn. I guess I know I made it to just about the right range for parts, then. I'm using my tv as a monitor. I forgot about my mouse and keyboard, lol. Fail. No biggie though. I won't be getting very fancy with that. Though wireless is a must.
My spouse likes to use phrases like, "Yes, tears, you're anguish sustains me!" Very Klingon.

Well didn't Microsoft coin the term PC for their Hardware with Windows installed? Anyway most people associate PC with Windows (Microsoft Computers) as they do Mac with MacOS (Apple Computers), but of course you don't necessarily have to MacOS on Mac (Hackintosh, etc...).
There are no words mate, just be there and offer your sympathy and help if she needs it, all you can do.
@StaGiors Damn, I’m sorry to hear that, that’s a lot of pain at once.
You say she’s a very close friend; I usually ask mine if there’s anything I could do to help. It’s usually hard to actually do anything about the situation, but it helps to let them know you’re there for them. Perhaps ask her if she would like to come over/talk about it on the phone to get things off her mind, or just to get some distraction from the whole thing.
Unfortunately though, I don't think there is much else you could do.

It's so strange to think about the fact that are so many people who live like this, mainly farming, without even knowing what they're doing it for. And I know the value of money is relative in each country, but if these people don't know what's at the end of the chain that they're the beginning of, how would they feel if they knew how ridiculously little 7 euros a day is to us. The fact that they see eating a bar of chocolate as a privilege makes me feel kind of bad about the whole thing. They seem happy though, and I don't know that much about what goes on in the world of these people, but it does make me realize how lucky we are.
Still though, couldn't help but giggle when the man said "This is why white people are so healthy". If only he knew the truth.
