Oh that's easy! Just tell Balmer that the Google headquarters are on the other side of the storm and his stare of hatred will in a instant turn it into giant popsicle.
You're in your right to spell it nucular but that do not change the fact you're using an ad hoc spelling in your post instead of the correct spelling, nuclear that you also could have used in your post.
I doubt the users have been told at all. The non-technical individual will most likely never see even ONE of the sites that say these things nor are they likely to have the full ramifications explained to them in a way that they will understand.
Hah! It might be different were you come from but in both my native country as well as the one I am now residing in the top newspapers feature articles along those lines regularly. During the Conficker debacle it was next to impossible to avoid reading articles about the importance to update your system, get AV and Firewall switch to alternative browsers etc.
Sorry to break your bubble but it's been a long time since that argument carried any real weight.
Car analogies are popular here on Slashdot (I don't know what that is about), so how about this one. Why is that cars can only be properly and safely operated by mechanics, engineers, and aficionados?
Obviously, that is not true. Cars are designed to be relatively simple to operate, yet can be highly reliable, safe, and low maintenance..
Exactly the reason why car anologies are popular here. My 67 years old mother is fully capable of changing oil, checking tyre pressure as well as determine when they need to be replaced. I even remember her changing them when I was a kid and she had a flat in the middle of nowhere, granted there were quite some muted cursing involved but nonetheless she did!
Not running as admin excpet when really needed,using a updated AV and Firewall is pretty much the computer equivalent to that, yet only a tiny minority of Windows users do those three things. Seriously, I have long since lost count of the times I have read Windows users proudly proclaim in forums "I have not used a AV or firewall in years and I have never had a virus" and I've met them in meatspace too. The only difference is that with these ones it have only taken me moments in front of their machine to prove how utterly wrong they are.
Judges are only people, and people who don't like to be BSed.
If someone BS me I am likely to tell them to go fuck themselves or similar. But, I sure as hell would not beat them to pulp and burn their house down, which in my opinion would be pretty akin to the judge's verdict. The verdict is way off in relation to the actual offence. So if the obscene verdict was a emotional response to BS - no matter how much - the judge should be disbarred with immediate effect.
I hope they got permission to use Klingons in their video.
At the end there is a text saying "Star Trek courtesy of CBS Paramount Television".
On a sidenote, I found the girls comment in DCTF 1 "I'm too young for a life of crime" quite daft as it imply that once you reach a certain age a life of crime is acceptable.
How will someone else getting married to someone of the same sex, in any way change yours or anyone else's marriage?
Because once gay people can marry, it's only a matter of time before those into bestiality are going to demand the right to marry the animal of their choice which of course will be allowed as same sex marriage is allowed. Then the next thing that will happen is obviously that people by the millions will divorce their god God fearing, 100% and then some heterosexual spouses and marry their sheep, chihaua's, tortioses, hedgehogs etc.
See, it is just a matter of applying fundemental(ist) logic and instantly you'll see why same sex marrige will change other people's marriages.
But I strongly suspect that the kids who have gone off the deep end have been more effective killers because they have trained extensively on killing simulators (ie., violent video games).
Aha! That explains why I didn't make the cut for the Special Forces I spent too much time playing Pong and not enough time playing cowboys and indians, the preferred killing simulator back then when I was a kid.
Gaahh... Need coffee. The first sentence should have read. "Hans Pandeya the major shareholder of GGF is according to one of his former partners a major Douchebag"
My apologies for any eyestrain, blindness or spelling/grammar nazi invocation caused.
A former partner of Hans Pandeya the major shareholder of GGF is according to one of his former partners a major Douchebag. That pretty much sums it up.
Now one should bear in mind that the former partner have quite a grudge with Pandeya so while what is being said (Pandeya is a douchebag) do seem accurate the source is obviously very strongly biased and use quite a few "he did this he did that, check it out."
Pandeya may indeed be the douchebag he is described as with nothing but hearsay/gossip
or quite possibly the anonymous former partner is engaging in some serious asshattery while masquerading as AC.
I have to share if I want to torrent. I'm not a communist, so I don't share.
So, you are a greedy selfish fuck who gladly benefits from other peoples bandwith without givin anything in return, so that you won't have to pay money to greedy selfish corporations. You are not a capitalist as you probably like to call yourself (just like I do, but rightfully so) but a parasite.
Actually you do not have to share when using BT although it is considered good practice and manners , but I am sure as hell am to tell you how not to share on BT, leech!. Another definition of leech.
I suppose that your mates can not expect a beer in return another day if they treat you to one in the bar tonight.
Come to think of it it has already started, just a week or so ago my girlfriend changed default browser from IE8 to Opera (installed for the rare times when I use her machine) on her own accord after her favorite webpage failed for the umpteenth time in IE and she had to launch Opera to browse it. Oh, the irony.

Not entirely correct as there is a unoffical Spotify client for Linux, Despotify.

Nothing ironic about that. It's simply the way it always have been, no matter how obviously wrong and fucked up it is.

Too young to remember Pong?
Based on that specific article. Yes definitely! And I doubt I will waste my time visiting it again.
