Linux extinguishing something? Beating Redmond at it's own game? What game might that be?
I already told you, dumbass - embracing, extending, and extinguishing!
The last one is the best of all: the comment isn't talking about new Windows builds, it's talking about Linux builds that aren't gonna happen. It ALREADY works on Windows.
Yes, it works on Windows. So do a million viruses and a browser that gives your credit card numbers to every link you click on! So wouldn't it make sense to run the legacy stuff, the stuff your cowardly inept employer wont give up, on a system that dosen't become chock full of shitware within an hour in the hands of the average office monkey? Wouldn't that be neat?
Sheesh! What is wrong with you, man? I'm surprised your mother didn't flush your fetal body down the toilet or stuff it in a potato sack with chloroform and drown it in the bathtub!
DUDE: Robot, grab me a beer.
iROBOT: I'm sorry, Steve says those are too fattening for you.
DUDE: What the fuck would Steve recommend, then?
iROBOT: Apple martini.
Heck, if the census-takers had all been DNA screened against the criminal database, I'd worry a bit less about the possibility of my family letting them into the house.
Mistrustful alarmists like you are part of the problem. You should be much more worried about the Wall Street schmucks bilking you out of your wealth.
"As we feel guilt for delegating increasing amounts of parental responsibility to daycare workers and the like, we tend to compensate for our guilt by treating the public at large with mistrust and hostility. A monster must be careful in these paranoid times, even a monster as indifferent to children as Hannibal Lecter."
Paraphrased from Thomas Harris novel Hannibal. Wish I had the book here, the actual quote is much more eloquent.
Rep. Teague's proposal would extend DNA sampling and testing to anyone arrested on suspicion of burglary or attempted burglary; aggravated assault; murder or attempted murder; manslaughter; sex acts that can be punished by imprisonment for more than one year; and sex offenses against minors. The attorney general would be required to report to Congress which states have and have not signed up for the DNA database.
You know what to do, guys. Call into the anonymous tipline and accuse all of your neighbors of burglary.
most student don't understand much listening to lecture. It's usually a water hose of information that don't compare to good online notes.
Pff. If that were true then they'd offer accredited engineering degrees online. Go to MIT open courseware, buy the texts and download the lectures and materials, and come back and let us know when you CLEP a structural engineering or linear optimization class.
The idea is to limit the number of purchases that a single customer can make...yes, obviously it's probably possible to use several credit cards...
...And that's a good point. Anecdote: I paid for public parking, in a congested downtown area, with my debit card. The meter rejected my debit card for the above reason when I went to add an extra hour, so I whipped out the credit card and it worked even though the names on both cards are identical.
I love to talk trash about Apple, but their buyers are being very idiotic crying about it when(as TFA says) they could simply walk down the street to Best Buy if they wanted to buy more. Furthermore, the people who can't get more than 1 debit/credit transaction card are the people who have no business dropping that kind of dough on an iPad.
...I have a test 3G card from three different providers...
Do you mean a 3G SIM for use in mobile devices?
If you mean the USB/PC card 3G adapters for computers, I doubt you'll be able to run them on Linux without using WINE or a VM or whatever, which may interfere with latency readings. Those adapters require you to install software(ATT Connection manager in their case) that's only supported on Windows and Mac, and that software is required to "authenticate" your computer and use the network.
Anecdote: I had ATT 3G in the metro San Diego area around 2007. Speeds and coverage were decent enough to browse the web, but too spotty for anything hardcore.
I've also said this a million times, but ATT connection manager takes 10 minutes to install and spins the hard drive like a defrag...waaaay overkill given the reported footprint.
Note: too lazy to dig up hacks and testamonials from Google.
Alarmist yuppies like you are part of the problem.
Playing outside(or at all, for that matter) is much less fun than it used to be because of overprotective parents who feel the need to keep their kids on short leashes and wrapped in bubble-wrap.
Because of people like you, the American Heart Association would never put their name on a football because you'd sue them if your kid missed a pass and got a bloody nose.
With apologies to Matt Stone and Trey Parker -- America, FAT yeah.
In two heated arguments about child abuse, one seen on Fox News and one I had with a friend, the guys on the "think of the children" side of the argument said that child abuse was so horrible that they couldn't even look at a child without imagining them being molested -- and while they were trying to appeal to emotion, they only ended up looking like creeps. It seems the "think of the children crowd" are the ones with the unhealthy obsession with children.
As usual, people with too much power dedicating their voices to speaking out against what they hate most about themselves:
That's what I asked when I first[scroll down] started hearing about them. From what I understand, they're the guys who go scoop up the pedos who're caught with CP or hitting on 12 year old girls in chat rooms. Either way, the DHS smacks of the Gestapo.
. Is that an elf in the game you are playing? Looks like she might be loli! Hell we are gonna have to have every single fantasy/Sci Fi book have a porn style "all models depicted or described in this work was over 18"
And an unfortunate side effect of that will be that women that are depicted will have bigger breasts and more "womanly" features, contributing even more insecurity to young women whose bodies have been deemed illegal.
Somewhat related - months ago on Slashdot, I told its readership that I would make a homemade Slashdot-themed porn video. Unfortunately, the woman I had in mind chose not to participate(sorry guys!) I have another willing lady, but she's very, um, short. Like four-foot-nine short. She has well-developed breasts and hips but seeing how poorly American law is interpreted, some self-righteous moralist would report me and I'd eventually be charged with "simulated sex with a minor" or some other bullshit charge after the FBI and ICE rummage though my house and interrogate my friends.
Still, Google shouldn't be talking that trash until Docs renders at least as well as OpenOffice does. It's seems that quality and fidelity take the back burner to data-mining.
Christians have a good reason - refusal to accept the mark of the beast.
"He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." Revelation 13:16-17

Good point - After all, SGI shelved IRIX and went Linux.
I already told you, dumbass - embracing, extending, and extinguishing!

Which is funny because one of the traditional perceived strengths of Windows is its backwards compatibility.
If it's good enough for the Beagleboard, it's good enough for a netbook. Also check Youtube for live demos.
Everybody was raving about the iPhones for a long time after their release. Recently, Slashdot has been printing nothing but bad press about Apple...
But I hated Apple before it was cool to hate Apple. Hmmph!
DUDE: Robot, grab me a beer.
iROBOT: I'm sorry, Steve says those are too fattening for you.
DUDE: What the fuck would Steve recommend, then?
iROBOT: Apple martini.
Only in the sense that he's a big, big troll.
While we're discussing political science 101, I'll chip-in the principle of circulation:
Put a perceived commoner or two into the government to prevent proletariat discontent. One step forward, two steps back.
Mistrustful alarmists like you are part of the problem. You should be much more worried about the Wall Street schmucks bilking you out of your wealth.

The law dosen't apply to white-collar crimes. Guess that means we can steal all of our neighbors' money as long as we don't break into their houses.
You know what to do, guys. Call into the anonymous tipline and accuse all of your neighbors of burglary.
Pff. If that were true then they'd offer accredited engineering degrees online. Go to MIT open courseware, buy the texts and download the lectures and materials, and come back and let us know when you CLEP a structural engineering or linear optimization class.

Shit, trolled again
Google and Adobe will gang up against Apple. Then, Google will plunge the knife in Adobe's back after Apple's mobile users leave in droves.
Enemy of an enemy is not friend etc.
I love to talk trash about Apple, but their buyers are being very idiotic crying about it when(as TFA says) they could simply walk down the street to Best Buy if they wanted to buy more.

What is unconscionable and fills me with deep, passionate rage is when the guys who run a distro think it's cute to name their releases after animals.
Nothing's more annoying than checking a forum only to have to google a bunch of stupid animal names to see which version I have installed.
It's no surprise that they named it after Omega, the big gaping Goatse of Greek letters.

As usual, people with too much power dedicating their voices to speaking out against what they hate most about themselves:
Larry Craig.
Mark Foley.
Roy Ashburn.
They could develop more sophisticated measurement techniques, similar to those utilized in modern data/telecom, as error thresholds become lower.
They could call it the Quantum Bit Error Rate Test, or Q-BERT for short.
That's what I asked when I first[scroll down] started hearing about them. From what I understand, they're the guys who go scoop up the pedos who're caught with CP or hitting on 12 year old girls in chat rooms. Either way, the DHS smacks of the Gestapo.

And to demonstrate it to others without shoving it in their faces.

(Rolls eyes while Openoffice insults pour in)
