Ok, I want to burn a CD, what "man command" should I use?
Exactly. assuming the user knows which short named app to "man"
Joke Example = man stg hmmmm Yeah if stg was the name of an app thats called "super tubular geek" and it was an app to open a specific filetype you have no idea how to open - well, your going to have to google it.
or how bout this example:
NAME
zip, zipcloak, zipnote, zipsplit - package and compress
(archive) files
Now compare that to a new users learning how to use WINZIP
Open Winzip hmm there are my files right click a folder hmmm I can zip it
even with gnome or KDE it is not obvious how to do this and the default app the opens a compressed file may not be associated properly.

Armed and polite, like America, Africa and the middle east just to name a few armed regions of the world... very polite indeed. Guns make police officers quite polite, don't you agree? Murder is a very polite way of saying "fuck you" is it not? polite.
Hmmm well yes actually, or can you not read? Also I am not asking for more of anything. I have a phone that has internet access just like everyone else. I didnt ask for more of anything moran.
In case your still willing to be a devils advocate douche and do your puny little song and dance to contradict me, here is how I see it:
Internet access: usage: 300mb a month (really more like 60mb but I'll be really fucking generous and lie and say I use 300mb.) Compare to Dial up internet: $20 a month max you can download on dialup a month looking at google maps, quickly checking out something on the net or reading some email? probably 300mb if your willing to wait... Cable internet: 50 dollars a month: how much do I download a month? probably 100GB+ Do I download that much on my iphone? fuck no!
Phone service: 40 dollars a month for spotty but useful reception -- really do we need to play the minutes game? lots of carriers offer $50 a month unlimited - AT&T is NOT superior - they just have the ambition to charge what they do. Unlimited text messages? ummmm well that doesnt cost shit when compared to the amount of data that you use if you have a data plan. But I sure as fuck pay a lot for it.. again, am I asking to much here by feeling that AT&T is greedy?
Total I believe is fair for this phone: $80 a month. Kiss my Irish white ass if you dont agree.
Oh and the guy who came up with the tiered pricing suggestion and you sound like greedy capitalist douchebags. Have fun working for your big corporation you sterile fuckwit
Yey I love chewing out invisible people on the internets when they dont think like me
lulz
I wish people like you would keep your stupid suggestions to yourself. My iPhone works just fine and I could give 3 shits about its reliability because it is so useful to me - I live in Silicon Valley and sure sometimes there is no bandwidth when in a huge crowd of hipsters but I DONT CARE I like my phone and dont have any trouble accessing services. AT&T needs to upgrade their system - that is all. I Already pay $150 a month for this phone... I dont need an extra teir of pricing... in fact I believe the phone should cost me $80 bucks a month max with unlimited everything. That seems fair - not your suggestion.
Yes this is sad - but you know what I would do the moment I had this app on my phone? Drop my minutes to 0 and simply pay for the data plan. I doubt AT&T allows that, and I really don't feel like going to their site or calling them to find out. We are all searching for the power to exploit a resource for personal gain just like the monolithic entities we despise.
ONO! Retard alert! Hey folks look - it's another idiot that lives in fantasy land - probably believes in some religion and Santa Claus too! Way to go - human!
In America you are guilty until proven innocent - that is why you can be taken to jail until the court finds you "not guilty". - The burden of proof rests too often in a jailed defendant's hands. I wouldn't expect you educated folks to know about that though...
How so? It is encrypted -- I think what you mean is: Its not secure because its cert has not been bought from someone who can say it is secure and be responsible if it is not.
How about this then: Is Verisign then responsible for any secure site they vetted that is actually malicious? Can they be sued?
I have ran into countless situations where a self signed cert is the only cost sensible way to provide a secure HTTPS connection, and it comes across to users like me as something like this:
Oh great this again -- reminds me of UAC -- stupid security measures for site owners / browser makers / site users / who don't want to be caught in the aftermath of a criminal situation -- by appearing to make some people feel safer by telling them they are potentially NOT SAFE... "You agreed that you may not be safe, and you did it anyways! YOUR FAULT!:-)
Hmmmm well I want to see this page, *NOW* And I know its the page I want to see, it is secure... that is good because I'm logging into this, oh it looks like they didn't go through Verisign etc, big deal. Cheapskates! Oh well..
God I hate being asked stupid questions ACCEPT, YES, OK (I wish clicking "get me out of here" meant YES OK FINE!!! Let me log into the site already!)
I really think this practice of certs and security theater is just making cheap yet good *secure* sites look bad... The cynic in me sees this as a way to line the pockets of so called "trusted authorities".
Cant this be done in a NON PROFIT manner???
Either way the users needs what the user needs and no amount of paternalism will save them from the monsters!
People who feed their cats at certain times of the day and let the cats starve at all other times seem to be the same people who believe this nonsense.
My cats always have food as I give them a huge bowl of it, and they eat at their leisure so food is just ubiquitous in my house. My cats behave as if they were my friends and don't exhibit this Stockholm syndrome like need for you to feed them as you mention.
People who think dogs are smarter seem to like to give "orders" and like having their orders "obeyed". I think this is silly as I feel an intelligent animal wont follow orders unless they WANT to.
My cats come to me when I whistle, greet me at the door after work, lay on my belly when im bummed out, are entertaining guests in my house, and they are treated with the utmost respect.
Dogs are just big happy needy retarded children compliant by force and bribery/trickery.
It's called capitalism. Ain't got cash? Well we ain't got the answer. Gotta love it. Survival of the richest, litteraly. How did this benefit mankind?
I hate how slashdot will mod someone who is cynical, as a troll because their beliefs are challenged. The poster absolutely has a valid opinion that is based on experience. If you dont like it then that should be evidence you probably need to reexamine your perception of reality.
I feel the same way about capitalism and medicine. They are two ideas that shouldn't merge for obvious ethical, moral and humanist reasons. I know this because:
-: I grew up in this industry doing tech support and helpdesk. -: I have friends who are auto mechanics -: The more money you pay, the more interest in solving your problem -: have have been misdiagnosed by doctors just like her, and after that, through careful study I found the issue and presented it to the doctor who reacted most unprofessionally (like being caught selling malware posed as antivirus) and I had to eventually cure myself. -: I have since watched Michael Moore's SICKO and found through excellent journalism that my feelings were valid.
Capitalism does not serve HUMAN needs well- we need to be creative and come up with a more ethical and intelligent way of rewarding people for work/goods rendered.
I cant stand Linux's ecosystem of half implemented and conflicting multimedia features. Kde4 looks as fisher price as XP did on release, Gnome is still brown and featureless like the plains of Africa. I also cant anymore tolerate system folder structures that look like a network share at some company after all of the employees decided to dump unfinished and unorganized crap in the/tmp folder. I would like to see a root / look like this (yes, with the full name of the folders!! If those are too big for you - use your tab key on the command line sissy! :
Also I cant stand how there are tons of hackers out there who dont bother porting directx to linux, so I cant play Windows games without the Kludge called WINE or some resource hogging VM with OpenGL support. I cant stand the multiple sound systems and the drivers for lots of multimedia devices (Such as my Audigy Card have WONKEY INTERFACES to adjust audio levels. If you want to take Windows market share you must make the interface look or work the same and then hide the nice extra extended Linux enabled driver features in a advanced sub-UI. This will make things intuitive. As it stands right now Linux is anything but intuitive for standard users looking to leave Winblows behind - unless you just plan on browsing the web.
Sure you could say: "Well its all community generated - go code your own xyzzy interfaces, or join the community and contribute you insensitive clod!" but in reality, I don't code and there are better qualified coders. What Linux is missing here the the regular user's point of view when apps are developed. It all looks like a typical PRE-QA Department, alpha code, coder's (an engineer's) with no proper standard user and UI testing mess.
And whats more the mess evolves into a bigger mess as time goes by....
I am not saying I don't love Linux by a longshot tho - These are just things that get under my skin This OS has a long long way to go before consumers will touch it with a 10 ft pole.
I went to Hawaii as a young guy, and had the misfortune of visiting Pearl Harbor. Walking out onto a pier, I see oil bubbling out of the Ocean. I said "Why is there oil bubbling out of the water?" The guide said "This is the oil from ships sunk under the ocean from WWII" I said "Why can't they clean this crap up?" He said "Its to honor the men who died here" I said "Fucking awful... so to remember them we need to let the ocean be polluted continuously. What an honor."
Looks like the military always has the special honor of destroying the world on a massive scale.... for my freedom I "enjoy" so much.
