I have to say that the Online Crash Analysis stuff has been great. I'm a coder, tech literate... but theres nothing better than a popup saying (in essence):
"Hey user! That bluescreen you just had was caused by the retarded monkeys at realtek. We don't have any later certified drivers (because realtek sucks cocks) but you might want to try retardedmonkeys.realtek.com. Lots of love, MS OCA":)
Britney Spears gets the $50 she deserves. The RIAA member that paid for the massive massive publicity, paid of MTV and generally invested millions should get the ROI they deserve too.
The people that paid for it get what they deserve too.....
Not to mention that in a real developing country MS practically gives out Windows licenses. I really doubt that the cost Windows is more than 5% of the hardware...
I'm writing this on a dell latitude d830 - with a 1920x1200 15" screen. You do need to set the DPI settings to he correct value. Trying to pretend its a 72dpi screen is visual suicide. This text is small at 120dpi, but oh so smooth;)
Come on, if you feel the need to make that many star trek references to complain about a perfectly fine website then it says a lot for you being stuck back in the stone ages with your hippy friends. I bet you complained about the H1 tag when it came out too. "Polluting my eyes by enforcing its unnecessary largeness... like a giant pair of... klingon testicles... or something".
Sorry, but your post is no longer compelling now that Slashdot is no longer just a bunch of geeks and furrys:)
Great. Fucking great me, who uses TrueCrypt to protect their accounts. Then I download "Hot Lesbian Pronz.avi", which turns out to be donkey porn - so I immediately delete it.
Then I have some FBI goon on my back, Sgt Roger Hardarse, claiming I keep a secret stash of donkey porn in a hidden partition.
Plausible deniability works both ways hippies. It means that if they have some evidence suggesting you might have donkey porns in a secret partition, then you might have to prove it doesnt exist. Pretty fucking impossible. You might end up in contempt of court for not providing your decryption key to a non-existant partition. Good luck with that one.
The better alternative is to just not use crypto. Well at least until you morons fix your government. Good luck with that!
But also DO NOT CALL GC.Collect(). Its bad for your health. It forces objects that survive collection up through the generations, making GC sweeps take longer and the whole system runs inefficiently.
Pretty certain FEMA would've loved to be able to buy food for those hurricane chumps from all the money that your retarded monkey-frog president was sending over to Iraq...
Oh well hopefully Darwin will hurry up and finish off your rapidly collapsing economy.
Hooray for Australia. We send a handful of chaps over to "support" your crazy plan, and get all the trade concessions we want. Playing you all for chumps, as it were. Our economy is booming, mainly because our govt knows better than to waste heaps of cash on a war. We'll just let you chumps "our allies" spend the majority of the cashola to secure some nice oil. Then maybe you can borrow some money from us to feed your people.
I agree. I don't believe Open Source is that great for large projects... remember the articles that the larger projects are mainly (90+%) contributed by a core group of funded developers - basically just like a normal project with the code available.
For smaller things where people demand customisation, like a phone OS it might just work. Sure they'll be incredible amounts of crap out there when people realise they can create reams of custom crap (see myspace for my predicted average aesthetic).
Just like the win mobile platform, where development is uber simple (compact.net), we can expect a whole bunch of apps/utilities, but also get the OS customisation as well. Yay.
What I'd really like is for them not to show up unless there's a card inserted. And not have a random drive letter associated with them (but I repeat myself).
Thats what my external card reader does. The one in my monitor takes up like H-M or some crap. I'm guessing its typical retarded drivers from shithouse manufacturers.
In fact I'd go out on a limb and say that 90% of Windows shittyness is caused by third party bullshit. 50% of that is due to Realtek.
Holy fucking grammar nazi's batma'n. Clearly you have a a case of multiple fucking personalities, where one of your assholes comprehended the goddamn message perfectly, and the other one was too fucking retarded to understand such a basic sentance with one minor error.
Unless, of course, you understood what I said and had an impotent whinge anyway. In this case, you are a retard.
I'm guessing you studied arts and it in-fucking-furiates you that us IT people earn a hundred times the meagre allowance your parents give you. The only thing that makes you feel better is to complain about peoples grammar on an online forum. This is like when you whack off to pornstars - neither myself, nor Melissa Firebox gives a goddamn crap about your impotent ass.
I'm betting on "not". Its your bloody blog, which nobody gives two shits about. Unless they back down without a fight, don't risk everything by getting all righteous and hippy about your "rights". Back down like a little coward with your tail between your legs. Get a real job too. And a real website. Sell goatse minitures on ebay. Something productive.
You silly little man. Both Seadragon and whatever the fuck they are calling this perform a technique called "feature extraction", where they identify small features common to several images. Then they map these to a relative 3D location.
Seadragon then displays images at the appropriate angle. This "new" stuff does a bit of micro-feature mapping between the points to make a more detailed model. Its cool, but not new. You can see it in action by getting the Seadragon preview and looking at the feature point cloud which is clearly enough to make a polygonal model of the scene.
I never understood the ^_^ until I had a chinese gf. When she smiles her eyes almost exactly look like ^'s. Its uncanny, and it made me laugh, and I couldnt explain why I was laughing:P
Its not that amazing. I'd hate to be the poor chump of a rock whose offset orbit intersects with eleventy billion tonnes of rocks orbiting at another angle;)
Put another way, if you are a couple of k's below the rings on one side, you'll be a couple of k's above on the other. Between those two points are all the other rocks that have been persuaded (pummeled) into not bucking the system. Also they are very big. And angry. And very willing to give you a bit of the newtons laws up the wazoo to persuade you to move with the herd again.

Great for when you want to visit Poland with your friends!
You sir, are wrong. You are also a dick. Its not often people are so clearly wrong that I dont have to bother explaining.
Personally I find it quite relaxing - I can just insult you (dumbass) and your mother (whore) until I get bored.
Haha. Suck it, retard.
Jump in the spa and open a can of tuna.
Voila, instant future-Defintion!

My favourite "conversation" went like this:
:P
Guy next to me: "Hello!"
Me: "...Hi"
Guy looks annoyed
"I'm on the bus!"
Me: "Errr... yes.. so you are"
Guy looks really pissed off at me.
Then he changes seats and I notice the handsfree

You mean a research project by some uni who's name I forgot which was funded by Microsoft?
Hey, thats my IP address. I didn't realise that I was Anonymous Coward!
My brain picked this line out to summarize the article:
"...reports that Capsaicin is being dripped directly into open wounds during highly painful operations..."
Hence my first reaction: No shit sherlock!
In response to your question:
Yes, I may have 'dicked' your best friend Jill. Probably it didnt last forever, unless she was loose.
I never understood the ^_^ until I had a chinese gf. When she smiles her eyes almost exactly look like ^'s. Its uncanny, and it made me laugh, and I couldnt explain why I was laughing :P
"complex expressions like confusion, fear, and disgust"
;)
Thats easy to train. Theres plenty of examples if you google for "first goatse"
You clearly aren't doing it right.
Play more Burnout.
