I didn't need sex for Star Wars to lose its cool.... George Lucas did that with his wretched prequels and constant fiddling with the originals.
Dude, get laid... Then you won't care about what one very rich man does to a bunch of kids movies.
Wait a second, I forgot this was Slashdot... Nevermind.
There are even some things that I can't do in Microsoft Office and had to use Open Office for (including repairing damaged Microsoft Office files).
This exactly. I have had MS Office docs that simply would not open in Office. Attempt to open, useless error message, then nothing. All data lost. Try again in LibreOffice, and it opens it. Some corruption, but at least the data was still there. Fix the file, save it and hand it back to a VERY happy manager, who opens the file in Office and gets back to work.
You and me both.
If I find that someone (Person or corporate entity.) has installed software on MY computer without my explicit permission, they will be explaining to law enforcement why they think they have the right.
If you really have been doing this for years, you may want to go check to see if any seeders are left. Yeah, you could get seeders at first, but once people realize its a bad file they are gone.
That's easy. Just jump on piratebay once a month or so, and comment that it is the greatest 3D porn movie in the history of 3D porn.
Works like a charm.:)

Zip up the files you want backed up, encrypt with your favourite encryption tool, then put it up on piratebay with a file name something like: Kari_Byron_XXX_PORN_3D.avi
There will be thousands of seeders in an hour.

Yes my friends, they mean to take down Facebook.
Do you know of any way I could get hold of these people? I would really like to assist them in achieving their goal.:)
So we should just infect the most brilliant doctors and scientists with AIDS
You also need to infect a lot of rich and powerful people.
I had a friend die of an AIDS related infection a few years back, so I am a little sensitive on this topic.
Replace the mouse with a trackball. There's a tendency with a mouse to move your wrist - you're not meant to do this, you're meant to use your whole arm. But I don't know anyone who does. It'll take you a few days to get used to, after which you'll never use a mouse again.
This. I have a MS trackball explorer at home, that I will use until it dies. I am not a fan of MS products, but that trackball is the best I have ever used. Too bad they stopped making them.
At work I use a Logitech cordless optical trackman, that is almost as good, but personally I wish it wasn't wireless.
What I really like is the Ball under my fingers, thumb for left click, index finger for scrolling. It is getting hard to find.
I can make spelling mistakes on any platform.
Also I used to think Lawyers were the lowest form of life. Now, I know that spelling Nazis are the lowest form of life.
There are plenty of people who can do everything they use a computer for on a tablet. I would guess most of those people are not on/.
For example my mother and sister, both use their computers for email, facebook, a little research, some cheezy games (Solitaire) and that is pretty much it.
All of that can easily be done on a cheep tablet.
Personally I will keep my laptop with a keyboard, but even I do most of my email on my Nexus 7 these days.
You are an idiot!
Next time know what you are talking about before you start typing.
From the Canadian mint website. The cost to phase out the penny is 37M, with as saving of 11M a year.
In only 4 years there is a profit.
This is an example of US government stupidity. All they have to do is stop making $1 bills. The rest will take care of itself.
In Canada the banks were told to collect $1 bills and turn them over to the mint. It took about a year for the $1 bill to disappear.

Or declared war on cyber insecurity?
Because, if memory serves, those are the sure signs the US government have no more ideas and have given up.

You are only young once, but if you are lucky you can be immature forever.
I like to use obscene phrases as passwords.

Eye You get the idea.
Yes please. Sabine Schmitz. My moter always warned me about fast women.
Then they can try to explain it to me. That will not be a pleasant conversation.
You and me both.

Damn kids theses days.
Back in my day we had 20 people shareing a Mc Donalds hamburger, because we couldn't afford fancy things like cheeze.

You forgot about 'renum'

Damn I feel old for remembering that.
We truly do live in an age of wonders.
Any idea where I can order one of these? It's for a friend... Honest.
I have been thinking about blocking Slashdot. I bet even my own productivity would go up.

That rain water is full of pollution. I suggest in the interest of your safety, you stick with the grain alcohol from now on.
Boo freaking hoo. Adapt.
