I may be a retard, but why call me "fucking" retard? If you didn't notice, the GP referred to me as "you" in the sentence "If you're lucky enough to..." and therefore my comment was valid. In any case, I have no problem with a Troll mod if you feel that's what I deserve, and I have no problem with you cursing me and calling me names. But there is a reason that/. does not allow posting and modding in the same thread. Posting as AC only invalidates your opinion. I don't even know why I respond.
Meh, they eat fire ants; so they're not all bad. If you're lucky enough to live far enough north not to know what a fire ant is, well... good. I think that I live far enough East to not be bothered by fire ants. Even if I do know what they are.
Note to [North] Americans: There do exist other continents. Really.
A male alate (winged ant)? If just a regular worker ant, then a female. All worker ants are females. I'll give you a hint. [S]He's posting at/.. The male:female ratio here rivals the matter:antimatter ratio of tapwater.
TFA says that the ants come from Caribean areas, so Mexico would be on the way as well. After reading TFA I'm a little worried for the people in the area, this looks like the start of something major. Typhoon, earthquake, killer ants, what next? Better get Bruce Willis to start astronaut training real soon.
Do some math, and you'll find out that 194 dB SPL is one atmosphere of pressure. Meaning that 160 dB SPL is about 1/1000th of an atmosphere. You experience more pressure by swimming 0.5 meters under the surface of the water. And if you stay at 0.5 meters under the surface of the water long enough, you die. Point?
If I know what it is and I still click the link, does that mean I'm sick in the head? It probably means that you have a very specific taste in porn, don't work out of the house, and use a malware-resistant OS. Typical/.r.
I also did not understand the troll mod, but I don't get worked up about how some Windows fanboi in his mommy's basement mods me while his dick cools off between masturbation sessions. Your "hacker" analogy made it clear, though. The media picks up on a tech term, misinterprets it, and marketers profit from the confusion. Recently I saw an ad for a product that 'defrags the registry'. Say what?
bord? reviewis? That you, Golum?
the process is very slow going and productivity runs at well under 200 lines of code per month per engineeer. They inherited the Longhorn / Vista staff?
It's just like an ISO standard, more or less. If the ISO (webster) publishes a standard, it is a standard "per se", whereas a "de facto" standard is simply one the world uses. I suppose that's why the defauls aspell that comes with Ubuntu has "Microsoft" as a word, but not "Ubuntu"?
Rootkits are not viruses. So what does antivirus have to do with defending against rootkits? Or is all malware today called 'virus' no matter what it does? I've been on a malware-free OS for so long that I don't even know the terminology anymore.
No, she's great, and carrying our second bundle of joy. I exercise every opportunity to joke about her, though. Any woman who lets me run Ubuntu (or any other linux distro) at home is great. I've even got her brainwashed to the point where she's recruiting her girlfriends to Firefox from IE.
But currently Firefox 3 is still in Beta, and now they will have to support that. Also, who's to say that Firefox 2 won't be supported in 3 years. Firefox 1.5 is still being supported. For that matter, who's to say that Mozilla will even be supporting Firefox 3 in 3 years? Betas getting upgraded to release versions is a security issue, thus a mandatory upgrade. Canonical will not have to support the beta Firefox any more than telling the customer to upgrade to the latest secure version and then dealing with whatever issue remains.
\I can't solve it either I dated a girl once who could tie a knot in a cherry stem with her tongue. She did some other interesting things with that tongue, and I only wish I had been thoughtful enough to have brought her a rubik's cube sometime.
The stinkiest stuff in the world is apparently some material called "what me?" developed by the US or the French in WWII to spray on captured German officers. The idea is that they would stink so bad that their troops would be demoralized. Of course, the French got it on themselves 1 time out of 3, so the substance was not widely used. Of course, I'm quoting from memory and too lazy to google, so I could be all mistaken. Verify before quoting this.
My wifes ssh key is "Debian compromised" Say thank you that your wife is at least that far. If I dare say ssh in the wife's presence, I get a vase thrown at me and she screams for me to shut the fuck up.
Why not error on the side of stability then, and ship Firefox 2. For everyone who really needs to have Firefox 3, they are free to install it themselves. Because then they'd have to support it. In the case of LTS Ubuntu, that's 3 years, and Mozilla will not be supporting Fx2 for the next 3 years. Now was a really bad time to release an LTS, or at least, have Firefox as the included browser in an LTS. For similar reasons regarding KDE[3|4] Kubuntu 8.04 is not LTS.

That's a great way to make a date more, uh, interesting.
