The blue flash is called Cherenkov radiation, defined as “electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle (such as an electron) passes through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the phase velocity of light in that medium.” Similar to a sonic boom, but for light.

Did mankind land on the moon? NVIDIA would say, “yes!”
You don’t need less configuration
Don’t complain about things (computers, Linux installations, Desktops and Window Managers) being too customizable!
Ask for either administrator locked customizations or customization themes.
If you have to administer a thousand workstations and the users can customize themselves to hell and back twice over, then I can understand you do not want too many customization options open to the user…
Lobby for administrator locked customizations (a customization setting in itself, of course!)
If you feel like starting your computer and trying to set it up is like entering the cockpit of a Boeing 777, then I can also understand that you would like less customization options you had to worry about…
Lobby for a function like a customization theme, where you can download a set of customization settings from the web or get them from a friend.
See, in both these scenarios you’re not really in the need of less configuration, you’re in the need of different configuration…
…if you disagree, buy a Mac! 😛
Patented language
Shut up, I’ve patented language!
Why do Vampires eat humans?
One thing about vampires that really confuses me is the fact that they like to suck the blood of humans, and they get depressed and pitiable if they have to feed on some animal.
I mean, have you ever met a person you would like to eat? Okay part from the fact that it’s cannibalistic and totally wrong… I’d say most people drink, smoke, or just plain eat wrong.
If I was a vampire, I’d go depressed if I only had people’s blood to suck.
But then again, I know a vampire is supposed to be all symbolic and not that pragmatic that they would only hunt on a health club…
