And now I'm wondering how many chips you'd have to use to build, say, a Sandy Bridge CPU on 80486-era process technology. Keep in mind that this is something that would have been a fairly capable supercomputer back in 1989...
According to legend, saxophonist John Zorn once looked out over a mosh pit at a Painkiller concert in Tokyo, excitedly leaned over to bassist Bill Laswell and exclaimed, "This is it! We've been waiting 10 years for this — slam dancing to free improvisation!"

I have no idea
Most libertarians I know of are the annoying anti-government types. The pro-life movement in America is mostly Christian and religion-backed with elements from other groups. I guess libertarians can be if they're the Christian variety

Whenever I discuss that certain topic, I throw religion and the law/legality out the window and discuss it on strictly scientific terms. That's the only way anyone should go about it, anyway.
Morton Feldman (born January 12, 1926, died September 3, 1987) was an American composer. He is best known for his instrumental pieces which are frequently written for unusual groups of instruments, feature isolated, carefully chosen, predominantly quiet sounds, and are often very long.
Feldman was born in New York City. He studied piano with Madame Maurina-Press, a pupil of Ferruccio Busoni, and later composition with Wallingford Riegger and Stefan Wolpe. He did not agree with many of the views of these composition teachers, and he spent much of his time simply arguing with them. Feldman was composing at this time, but in a style very different from that with which he would later be associated.
In 1950, Feldman went to hear the New York Philharmonic give a performance of Anton Webern’s Symphony. At the concert, he met John Cage, and the two became good friends. Under Cage’s influence, Feldman began to write pieces which had no relation to compositional systems of the past, such as the constraints of traditional harmony or the serial technique. He experimented with non-standard systems of musical notation, often using grids in his scores, and specifying how many notes should be played at a certain time, but not which ones. Feldman’s experiments with the use of chance in his composition in turn inspired John Cage to write pieces like the Music of Changes, where the notes to be played are determined by consulting the I Ching. [See aleatoric music and indeterminate music.]
During this period Feldman continued to work in his family’s garment business, and was proud of not being dependent on benefactors. Eminently quotable and impressively self-confident, Feldman set his sights high, saying he wanted to be “the first great Jewish composer”. The fact that this statement implies, that Mendelssohn, Mahler and Arnold Schoenberg were NOT great composers simply underlines Feldman’s iconoclastic attitude.
Through Cage, Feldman met many other prominent figures in the New York arts scene, among them Jackson Pollock, Philip Guston, Frank O’Hara and Samuel Beckett. He found inspiration in the paintings of the abstract expressionists, and throughout the 1970s wrote a number of pieces around twenty-minutes in length, including Rothko Chapel (1971, written for the building of the same name which houses paintings by Mark Rothko) and For Frank O’Hara (1973). In 1977, he wrote the opera Neither with words by Samuel Beckett.
In 1973, Feldman became the Edgard Varese Professor at the University at Buffalo. Despite being accepted into the academic community, he continued to be skeptical about the value of academic composers, and was suspicious of deliberately “innovative” music. Typical Feldman quote: “Innovation be damned, it’s a boring century!”
Later, he began to produce his very long works, often in one continuous movement, rarely shorter than half an hour in length and often much longer. These works include Violin and String Quartet (1985, around 2 hours), For Philip Guston (1984, around four hours) and, most extreme, the String Quartet II (1983), which is over five hours long without a break. It was given its first complete performance at Cooper Union, New York City in 1999 by the FLUX Quartet, who issued a recording in 2003 (at 6 hours and 7 minutes). Typically, these pieces do not change in mood throughout and tend to be made up of mostly very quiet sounds. Feldman said himself that quiet sounds had begun to be the only ones that interested him.
Feldman married the composer Barbara Monk shortly before his death in 1987 at his home in Buffalo, New York.

I was reading about back street abortions in the UK and about 200 women a year were dying from them. Yes that doesn't sound like a lot but there has been a woman dying from a legal abortion since 1987.
Hevisaurus is a child-friendly (commercialized music appropriated for little kids) Finnish band who get their name from the dinosaur costumes they wear.
Members include: Herra Hevisaurus (vocals) Milli Pilli (keyboard) Komppi Momppi (drums) Riffi Raffi (guitar) Muffi Puffi (bass)
There have been many famous guests on their albums, including Jens Johannsen (Stratovarius) and Henrik Klingenberg (Sonata Arctica) on the first and Elias Viljanen (Sonata Arctica) on the second.
Electromagnetism works by nonsense, because apparently, electricity, which isn't matter, can power matter, while being confined to the matter. The electricity of a computer is bound to the computer so you don't get shocked whenever you touch the mouse or the keyboard, but it powers the keyboard. The computer is essentially a container for electricity, which is about as stupid as having a box full of heat, a canister full of movement, or a barrel of gravitational potential energy.
In short, the whole thing with electricity is stupid.
It's almost as stupid as a world where water and rocks fall from the sky, where an invisible pushing force pushes white mountains through the air, and where stationary creatures eat sunlight.
Dear Youtuber, you are experimenting what the Internet calls hipsteria. This condition makes the hipster (you) create continuous illusions of grandeur due to the fact that you listen to rare music/bands before they were so mainstream and take credit for listening to them until they become famous. This condition does not make you an intellectual it actually makes you a douche. Please stop or remove yourself from the Internet. Thanks.
So anyway, I just typed "vim --version" on my work MacBook running 10.6, and apparently it was built for ARMv7 as well as i386 and x86_64 (though the ARM executable doesn't seem to be installed). Hmmmm.
I asked my mom to get me a few bottles of soda from the dollar store. Instead of buying a few 2-liters (which would've been most cost-effective) she bought me a pack of the little 12oz "chub" bottles.

Is it possible to be both anti-abortion and a libertarian?

(1/x) + (1/y) = (x + y)/(x * y)
The sum of two numbers is equal to the product of those two numbers times the sum of the reciprocals of the two numbers.
