I have no problem with people using auto tuners as long as they don't try and claim that their voice actually sounds like that as well as mention how their lyrics were produced.
The same thing for fortune telling. No problem as long as the person doesn't claim it's real or they can talk to your dead lover.
Ohloh, the open source social networking site is much worse then google latitude.
On ohloh if you set your location, anyone can see it, not just people you trust, although ohloh doesn't update your location by phone. It seems they're targeting google specifically because it's bigger.
Same reason Jack Thompson constantly targets Take2. It's just "sky is falling!" attention whoring.
I have the same graphics card as you. The problem is obviously on your side and you're doing something wrong, because I have no clue what you're talking about.
As for firefox the only problems I've had is with flash crashing the browser.
I don't think this is going to work because although these people are the top in their fields, it doesn't make them good teachers, which is important if you're paying $25,000 for a 10 day course.
Advertising has nothing to do with the kind of behavioural change which they talk about from video game violence.
How behaviour change works in advertising is repeatedly exposing you to a brand so when you see it in the store you're more likely to choose it over a different product.
The only correlation you could make between video games is that perhaps if a certain brand in the game was better then the rest in might influence your purchases outside the game.
because porting a windows only app takes a huge amount of effort whereas co-operating with wine as to what bugs are your programs and which are wine bugs take much less effort.
The program working is far more important then if it is native or not. It's a pathetic goal as a native build doesn't guarantee quality over an application running via wine.
I use ubuntu and it depends. Sometimes I just tolerate the bug because I'm tired of the "New version of ubuntu out does this still effect you?" messages I get.
I could understand if it was something not testable to the person saying that. However when the steps to reproduce are download package x and do xyz I think its simple laziness to not just test it yourself, especially when the package from your version of ubuntu has been used in the new version, duh, of course the bug is still there, it's the same package.
There is a large commitment on the bug submitter to do all the work on testing and following up on simple bugs which are reproducible by everyone. This happens in wine too which I follow closely, however to a much less significant degree as it happens in Ubuntu.
yeah, those evil copyrights. They stop me from being able to sell GPL code without giving back the source. I hope they abolish copyright soon because it's so evil.
It devalues the original work making the money the original creator would have gotten significantly less then what he would have got if the work remained a rarity.
Same thing happens when you sell cheap fake rolex watches the company doesn't lose any stock however it cheapens the brand making their customer demand less.
Slashdot Mirror
and it's already happened with the HP 1000 which has a very nice GUI on top of Ubuntu.
Probably the over 10 million desktop user base is my guess..
I agree with you however not the way you said it.

Is there much of a difference between a robot pretending to sing at a live performance and a human doing it?
The Chinese Olympics comes to mind..

Did you even RTFA everything you suggested was there!
*faceplam at the retarded insighful mod*
Yeah, anything in flash can been a pain on Ubuntu which regularly crashes the browser. In fact it's my only complaint about the whole OS I have.
Captain Ahab Jack only chases after the Take2 white whale.
Interesting that they're trying to open up the government more via the internet, however does he have any plans to do anything else?
So please explain why something like half the worlds spam comes from China?
I got it wrong, it's not 10 days it's 9 weeks.
SCO was about copyright, not patents.

In my book using "---" which is what you do in your comments is no different then "...".
Now you little hypocritical faggot, for the good of slashdot, please log out and not come back.
Way to destory to discussion, you really think i'm going to read whatever you have to say after that display is dickwad behaviour?
too long, didn't read..

You say I'm wrong but everything I said was correct.
Without copyright law I could abuse the GPL.
yeah, those evil copyrights. They stop me from being able to sell GPL code without giving back the source. I hope they abolish copyright soon because it's so evil.

I hate how people on youtube have the tell everyone it's a parody. So fucking annoying and ruins the comments.
As usual XKCD has an answer to your "security" and it just came out today too. http://xkcd.com/538/
The only thing viable about it is that it's land that countries can scramble to get.
Even when places such as Australia and America were discovered there was something profitable in doing it. Moon and space, not so much.
