Heh, my mom can't even manage the setup.exe thing, so I don't really know. (No, I've never done tech support, but I will be probably this summer, so get back to me then once I've been broken;) ). I just figure "Download setup.exe, go find it (since my mom never manages to download it to the desktop), double click it, yes the defaults are fine, yes, keep going, yes" is basically the same number of steps as "open a terminal, type cd/ports/the-program-name, type make all install clean".
I know, one involves typing, which some people find difficult, but I'm just drawing on my own experience; my parents have been using computers since DOS 3.0, so they aren't completely scared of a command line.:)
Hey! Just thought I'd be friendly and mention that there's a great new invention called a "search engine", that lets you type in a phrase that you don't recognize, and, within seconds, more information than you could ever want shows up, right there on your screen? Isn't that amazing? Maybe you should (and this is just a suggestion) try using one next time something like this comes up?
Right, sending Pioneer 10 into outer space is the greatest accomplishment mankind has ever achieved. Equality under law, suffrage for women, the abolishment of slavery, the virtual eradication of smallpox; they all pale in insignificance compared to Pioneer 10, a hunk of metal drifting aimlessly through space.
Christ. How are "abolishment of slavery" or "suffrage for women" *accomplishments* on the order of space exploration? They're just the social changes of the aforementioned 6,000,000,000 savages scribbling in the dirt.
Smallpox was certainly an accomplishment though. However, I don't believe the original poster was saying that Pioneer 10 was the only accomplishment ever made by humanity ever.
Basically, you're trolling, and I don't know why I'm responding to you. But whatever.
Here are some song lyrics, dedicated to all those NASCAR fans out there.
Cut the Mullet - Wesley Willis
Do something about your long, filthy hair It looks like a rat's nest Do something about your mullet Get out the hair clippers, jerk
Cut the mullet Cut the mullet Cut the mullet Cut the mullet
Get the rat's nest off your head Get that crazy-ass mother off your skull Take your ass to the barber shop Tell the barber that you're sick of looking like an asshole
Cut the mullet Cut the mullet Cut the mullet Cut the mullet
The mullet is the reason why people hate you They are sick of looking at your nappy weed-sack Nobody wants to look at you with that mullet on your head Why don't you cut that mullet, you numbskull
Cut the mullet Cut the mullet Cut the mullet Cut the mullet
Rock over London, rock on Chicago Insure One, it's the insurance superstore
Is "I didn't have enough random, pointless sex!" really the biggest regret you all have? Seriously, everyone's all "go fuck some fine ass bitches, yo!" I don't regret not picking up nasty diseases in high school at all, but hey, whatever sinks your canoe.
(other people have said this, but it's a good idea): Take a martial art. I know the hick-ass town you live in probably doens't have anything. Get mom and dad to drive you far away if necessary. You end up liking kung fu, so maybe look for that, but if not, other kinds are probably good too.
Don't worry about girls. Honestly. Probably futile advice, but it's worth a shot.
However, if you still remember this when you're 17, then: yes, Katie likes you, yes, it's okay for you to like her too. Letting her know would be a good idea. She's not "the one", of course, but if you get some experience now, the better things will be later on.
If a certain friend of yours starts to turn into an asshole, don't bother trying to stay friends with them. There are cool people around, you already know some of them.
Other than that, have fun. Oh, and just after you turn 19, don't let your sister drive your car to Columbiana.
The DCI is in charge of *all* the US intel branches, as well as the CIA. So just because the DCI establishes priorities for "domestic intelligence", doesn't mean that the CIA would carry it out.
(Well, that's how it used to work. For all I know, ol' Tom Ridge is in charge of everything now.)
It's a relgion. Accept it. And I'm not a "theist", though anyone who says "I'm not going to debate with the opposing side" really needs to think about that statement for awhile. (If your brain starts to hurt, feel free to stop, go watch some TV for awhile, then come back to the thinking, since it's apparently hard for you.)
If you were agnostic, I could see that not being a religion. But if you're an actual atheist, you *believe* that there is no God/gods. Belief in supernatural force or lack thereof is religion.
Just replying to myself for the hell of it, but: Self, Guam isn't even a commonwealth (nor are American Samoa (.as) and the US Virgin Islands (.vi)), and the TLD for the CNMI is.mp, not.nm. Not that I know where there's a "p" in "Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands", but hey, whatever sinks their canoes.
Actually that's very true. I was just looking at that the other day.. plenty more too.. Guam (.gu), Puerto Rico (.pr), CNMI (.nm) are all US Commonwealths.. Ascension Island (.ac) is British.. Antarctica (.aq) isn't a country.
So maybe there is precedent then.;)
I think what I was getting at more is that the UK and US don't recognize Sealand as anything more than an abandoned UK fort. So it would surprise me if they got a ccTLD.

FreeBSD:
/ports/whatever
> cd
> make all install clean
Just as easy as downloading and running setup.exe, wouldn't you say?
I hear Debian has something similar, though I haven't used it myself.
Not that I'm arguing with you, some people will find things like that "too hard", just because it's different. *shrug*
Anyone else find amusement in the parent complaining about credibility, while posting anonymously?
Log in if you want people to take what you say seriously, or even care about what you say at all.
Ok, wow, you used "begging the question" correctly. I was beginning to think I would never see that again. Kudos. ;)

HTH! HAND!
heh, your sig.
But today's Tom Sawyer gets high on you in good ol' Canadian Rush, so in Soviet Rush, wouldn't you get high on today's Tom Sawyer?
You mucked around with zero gravity research when you were 7?
Damn, and here I had to stay on Earth the whole time.

It really isn't. I can't wait to leave.

And with spellchecking it looks like this:
So a beawolf cluster of these will be what?
An orchestra?
And, obviously you didn't spellcheck enough, so let's try again:
So a beowulf cluster of these will be what?
An orchestra?
Nothing, as long as you don't mind slaughtering animals
Nope. That's what they're there for.
using the land less efficiently
Hell, let's only grow wheat, or whatever it is that is the most "efficient" crop. Wouldn't want a variety of foods or anything.
and getting colon, and other lovely cancers
That's a chance, yes, but I also get protien, vitamin B12, iron.. things which you will die from lack of much sooner than cancer.
And as a closing comment: If God didn't want us to eat animals, He wouldn't have made them out of meat.

Out of morbid curiosity, what _does_ 'wank' mean to an American?
That the speaker is British, and therefore would not make a good dentist?
Actually that's very true. I was just looking at that the other day.. plenty more too.. Guam (.gu), Puerto Rico (.pr), CNMI (.nm) are all US Commonwealths.. Ascension Island (.ac) is British.. Antarctica (.aq) isn't a country.

Glad you took time out from your obviously busy schedule to not only click through to, but also post a comment to an article you don't care about.
Sealand isn't a real country, so no, they don't have their own ccTLD.
I wouldn't say I was subdivided in highschool
;)
ooh, nice. I caught that even before noticing your sig, then your username. yeah Rush!
And their down there, whats that? Protesting noises?
Plannin' on me dancing like a chimpanzee
lol. (+6, Funny)
Lars? Is that you?
I use win-D all the time, and occasionally used the other ones. I didn't know about win-break though, thanks. :)
