Lamps aren't female in French, they're feminine but this is purely grammatical and doesn't imply any social gender. It's just part of the word - see "fleuve" and "rivière", both words meaning river, one masculine one feminine.

It's not a person, doesn't have any sort of social characteristics, so it doesn't have a gender any more than a lamp with a very convincing fake beard.

Once upon a time I dual booted every computer I had. Not sure why I fell out of the habit really.

I'm not going to try and argue that I'm not being lazy, but the actual process of installing the OS is the least onerous part. Software beats it by a mile.

Doesn't seem like the fuel savings are quite as significant as they advertise (5-15% Vs 10-35%) but still a worthwhile achievement.

Art imitates life, life imitates art... It's a cycle.

PS2 for me. Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger... So many hours spent hopping from platform to platform and blasting various baddies.
