I really wish I could mod you down. First, for getting the stereotype wrong. Men don't like to listen. Second, for a cheap sexist joke with no sense of irony. Don't get me wrong, I love offensive humor, but this lame offensive humor, that doesn't even get the offensive part right.
Sure, we don't like to listen, but we usually have to in order to reproduce. Women don't.
Why not let the airport administration and/or airlines worry about it? The airlines clearly have an interest in not losing planes to terrorists, even if they don't care for customers.
This is America, the country where "Free Market" is the most sacred thing. However, in this matter the government intervention is the most intrusive in the world. No to universal healthcare, yes to airport searches. Why?
Let me correct that for you: "gov "sorry" = gov "we got caught".
Wherever you are, the government is only sorry when it gets caught. If it is cheaper or has some other benefit and doesn't get caught then they don't care. Such is the way of politics.
Unfortunately, you statements do not apply only to the government. A large majority of people function this way. If you can get away with something, you don't have to be sorry.
You realize that Homer Simpson has said everything, right? And that it's no longer possible to express a thought without quoting or paraphrasing Homer Simpson? Probably even this one...
It's probably that AMD doesn't want to claim that they ever marketed the feature as such. If they did, it would put Intel up to create and release a debugging interface for their silicon. Then both would be forced into competing to produce a better debugging interface. This drives production costs up for a component that may be used by less than 1/100 of a percent of the users when they should have been putting their efforts elsewhere.
It could be just that, or...
It enables powerful hardware debugging features long longed for by reverse engineers
I think it's more likely that software companies would not like it.
If Facebook were to actually request your username/password, I have no doubt that hundreds of millions of people would hand it over without a second though.
> Ok first off, a lot of the visual effects actually serve a purpose.
No they aren't. They're just eye candy to sucker the rubes.
Calling these things "useful" is just self delusion by those spending far too much time fixating on stuff of no importance.
No. This crap is all about making the system "pretty" for marketing purposes.
I actually like my desktop-switching cube, it gives me a somewhat natural feeling of organization, and this increases my productivity. Oh wait, we're talking about Windows here. Where opening a folder produces a sound. Oh well...
I mean really, there is a video showing a Microsoft product interacting with a Microsoft OS. So basicly we have an open-source-endorsing company paying for something that will only benefit Microsoft. Why can't they give the money to someone who makes a good game (or something else) for Linux?
Not necessarily. I am a religious fundamentalist, and science is all well and good in my book, to a point. And by to a point, I mean "this is what we've been able to prove thus far".
Whereas the former seeks the better philosophy of "we've been unable to prove anything so far, but here's a story pulled out of the collective asses of village elders 3000 years ago; let's go on and pretend it's true, and let's ignore all of the horrible acts that have resulted from pretending that fiction is fact."
Oy.
Science is amoral. Science doesn't tell us not to kill people to harvest organs, not to experiment on prisoners of war, not to kill off the unproductive members of society or undesirable societies. On the contrary, science could arguably supply logical reasons to do all those things. It's people's morals - often based on or at least supported by what you blithely dismiss as "fiction" - that stop us from doing those sorts of things.
Never let you sense of morals prevent you from doing what is right. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
Statements like these are basically derived from science and logic. Religion, on the other hand, has often contradicted both of these.
That is true for most languages. English has a large number of words, among the largest among modern languages. I know because I had to write some reports in English and they were much shorter than the Slovene translation. I also hear the same from several professors at out university.
On the other hand, you have German. They have so long words and even longer sentences, everything written in it is double the length of the English equivalent.
Care to elaborate what's so good about Visual Studio? I have it, and I have used with it (albeit only casually), but I can't really find what's so good about it.

There does not appear to be any means of turning the thing off.
Like ripping the cord out of the wall socket on a conventional telephone.
Tinfoil. It really works, I tried.
If you can only call, talk and hang up, it doesn't appear very useful to me. Listening would be a nice addition, and receiving calls as well...
It's obviously targeted at women.
The crazy jihaddist types
The crazy types are a minority. Of course there will always be people with some reason for violence, but less reasons == less such people.

Perhaps if you stopped bombing them, they would stop bombing you, or at least do it significantly less often.

For millennia, more than 15% of the world's population was in China. So what?

The second law of Godwyn?
But I like using O's OO.o
- How badly does the ever-essential anti-malware suite drag down the supercomputer?
Shouldn't be needed since it should be extremely hard for malware to get into such a controlled environment to begin with.
Digital Fortress?

new and useful
Well, they meet all the requirements except maybe one or two...

FTFY. Welcome to the 2010's.

In Linux my network adapter just talks to my router. I'll rather have my nothing than your wizards.
And just how many thing didn't work in Windows "two versions back"?

If you believe someone can become a suicide terrorist without Islam, then you really don't understand people... or Islam.
So all those Japanese pilots were secretly Islamic?
They're replacing (Gnome on X) for (Unity on Wayland).
Now most slashdot readers can't accept that there is more than one good company.

I don't know about you, but I have a pile-of-shit key on my keyboard, right between the left Ctrl and Alt.
