If I was the guy that had to pay this money I'd simply move to a different country. It's obvious that the one he is currently in is too retarded for him to stay.
Sounds like you're just a moron that doesn't understand words such as what unlimited means. When you put restrictions on amounts then it's no longer unlimited. If you can't understand this basic fact and why people get angry at false advertisement then please don't comment in the future.
Yes, Powershell.. a poor mans clone of the linux terminal. No piping, typos bring up massive error messages, doesn't resize the output when you make the window wider, etc.
So linux is just a poor mans windows clone? Great way to get people not to try it. Just like people who think the way to linux desktop is old, cheap and netbook computers. Way to make linux look cheap and crappy when it runs great on high performance machines with 3D games.
Also, windows is free, it came with the computer or I downloaded it illegally off the net.
I could see this being better for the environment by the fact that the batteries are grown (?) however doesn't batteries woven into clothing come with a risk of spontaneous combustion?
The article is very light on details. I'm wondering how they "spray" the batteries on...
And just 4 days after you posted this, this happens.. Windows DLL Vulnerability Exploit In the Wild. The best part being, the linux security bug got fixed already, whereas the windows exploit is already out there on machines and makes 1000s of windows apps insecure.
Just enough time for me to come back and gloat. Linux 1, Windows 0.
All completely irrelevant since in the US some americans call their president "a muslim that's going to destroy america" and they're never arrested which is going much further then this journalist did.
In fact you are just being a hypocrite, if you had posted this from Iran about Iran then you'd be screwed over like the journalist so I don't see how you can draw any comparison between the two.
All your post really attempts to do is distract people from actual censorship issues and the slashdot mods have bought into it hook, line and sinker.
Yes small claims court. You still need legal consult if you want to win against lawyers on pay role. It still costs $100 > to go to small claims. None of what you said refutes my point and i am backed up by the fact that valve isn't inundated with small claims cases.
The only thing preventing gaming on Linux is the attitude's of those in charge of doing it. They have the same tired, poor excuses as the ignorant fools here on slashdot have. They come up with all these nonsensical reasons for why it would be so difficult but the simple fact of the matter is that they've never even looked into the matter and just sprout out ignorant garbage handed to them by other people.
That's what happens when you go into something half-hearted. They thought that if they made the windows version run in wine everyone would flock to their game; however in reality it ran better in default wine then their "official" client and existing linux users didn't want something running in wine, they were already doing that without CCPs help.
The whole thing felt setup to fail then the linux community where promptly blamed for CCP's failure.
Feedback on the EVE Online forums, which includes the e-mail in which CCP announced this decision, suggest that the client was not preferred for Linux users as it did not support the Premium graphics client and did not run as well as the win32 client under Wine.
Keep on trolling dude with your select quoting. Why didn't you quote the next line which says..
Some people argue that since Wine introduces an extra layer above the system a Windows application will run slowly. While technically true, Wine is no different from any other software library in this regard;
Then there's what everyone has been waiting for: 'I want to be able to run my x86 Windows applications on any processor architecture I like. That's the most complex one. Again the prerequisite is that Winelib works on this architecture, which will definitely happen someday. Then 'all that is needed' is to integrate an x86 emulator with Wine (and also change Wine's name:-)
But don't let facts stop you from trolling and talking out your ass.
Really? Because so far all I've read is comments from people who aren't linux users telling others how they'll react. Seems to me like you're the christian demonising the muslim rather then the other way around.
Also might want take take a look at some of the real linux user's comments that all say how awesome this is with no dogma. In fact the only people even mentioning it seem to be you not linux users.
No, it's not. If it were an emulator then you'd be able to use it on more then just x86. Wine doesn't run in it's own environment hence it's not an emulator.
The city last year sent 220,000 tons of garbage to landfills and collected 5,800 tons of recyclables.
....
City Council on Wednesday approved spending $2.5 million on high-tech carts for 25,000 households across the city, expanding a pilot program that began in 2007 with 15,000 households.
The $30/ton isn't recyclables, it's just rubbish in general.
So they make $28/ton from recyclables with 5800 tons being processed last year.
It cost them $30/ton to dump the general rubbish that wasn't recycled with there being 220,000 tons processed last year.
These are numbers from the article.
28*5800 = $162,400 30*220000 = $6,600,000
So the total cost of waste processing at the moment would be $6,437,600.
What you should be arguing for is how much % would the 220,000 tons of waste be turned into recyclable goods.
If it were something really high like 50% then they could potentially earn an extra $3,080,000 from recycling. Which would be worth it, but it's assuming that:
1) People will recycle up to 50% of the rubbish they're not doing now 2) The price remains at $28/ton which I doubt it will if you dump 20 times the amount of recyclables they're currently pushing on the market. 3) That the previous figures are enough to offset the cost of the system.
That's the economic point of view, but what about the environmental impact. Do bins with broken RFIDs get thrown away, are they replacing existing bins with these, etc.

What's so difficult to grasp? It plays back HD video. It never says it displays that video in HD.
Neither, you simply can't read.

Stronger then bash.. lol..

Anyone else read this wrong as "bombing a mosque"?

Best part about that; It's not against the law. Damn, I should have been a lawyer..

You're trolling because you're completely off topic, wrong and select quoting shit to try and support your ignorant view.
TL;DR your links, see no need to waste my time with you. Thanks, bye.

They DO have driver problems because they've never had anything to run them with until recently which has prompted a driver patch.
Linux on the other hand has been enjoying life with nvidia's drivers on render farms and many different games such as ID's for half a decade now.

No they're complete separate facts..
Do you live in this alternate reality were the general public goes to court spending 1000's dollars to fight over a $40 game?

Your bin doesn't have an RFID chip in it.
Your garbage cans don't have RFID chips in them.
