He verified the doctor's findings empirically, or the kid ate peanut butter before the allergy tests? What, are you some kind of unimaginative idiot?

You're not winning any brownie points here. Eclipse is a UI disaster.

I make $60,000 per year and wouldn't think about buying a house worth more than $150,000 wtf Americans stop playing catch-up with the Jones'.

The laws of physics, especially thermodynamics, guarantees that at some time in the future, there will be no life. The Universe is winding down, and there is no hope to eternally preserve humanity, or even single-celled life.

Old CRT monitors have old flyback transformers, which emit an audible (for some at least) sound in the frequency that they are running. The horizontal sweep frequency on low resolution modes can be in the upper range of human hearing. Nothing magnetic about it, just plain old sound and some people having slightly better high frequency hearing in their youth.

Don't worry, that annoying sound will go away once you're in your twenties, or you've gone to a few rock concerts.

Measurements of galactic movement are based on the fact that all other galaxies have a redshift, i.e. they are moving away from us and the doppler effect has shifted their light frequency toward the red end of the spectrum.

The Universe only has so much free energy, and that will all one day be converted into entropy. That is what people mean by the Universe ending.

So its going to be a rolling rapture? Can I get multiple raptures by hopping in a plane heading west?

Tell them to not take software that is solicited to them?

It's the same joke from the last movie^H^H^H^H^H asshole on the internet!

Why should Microsoft cover for other people's shoddy software?

Also, run it in a VM if it is mission critical software, while simultaneously seeking a replacement for that old, unsupported cruft before your replacement finds it.
