Windows 98 isn't a neat single win98.tgz file that you can download, unpack, and run make on. The build system is probably complex and totally antiquated.
Anybody who played Wolfenstein 3D and Doom knows that BFG stands for 'big fucking gun.' Amazing that Disney made a whole movie about those guns, and for a childrens audience, too!
It's kind of pitiful to watch somebody criticizing people who stereotype, do so much stereotyping themself. 'folks who've fled to lily white suburbs'? 'stone cold racists'???
You live in a comic book universe, dude. Them villains are sure nasty!
Wait and see. The Hispanic community is fairly conservative socially. All those 'Mexicans' you refer to, as they settle into the United States, won't embrace your 'identity politics.' Just the same as the Islamic immigrants, who it has been well shown in places in Europe, bring their stereotypes and hatred with them. Worried about the repression of gay people? Get ready, because 'the Mexicans' and the Islamic immigrants are not going to be tolerant.
The binary sequence to boot the thing up was actually an octal sequence on the console switches, to get the high speed optical paper tape reader to start loading the FOCAL interpreter.
By the late 70's we were more than ready for some good mindless fun.
I don't think you should say 'we' like that. Many of us who are SF enthusiasts consider Star Wars barely SF at all. What Star Wars can conclusively be shown to have done is suck a lot of air out of the 'genere' of SF and lead to decades of dismal space-westerns.
There is no 'continuity' in a Science Fiction audience that leads to Star Wars. Star Wars was what George Lucas came up with after he was denied the right to produce Flash Gordon remakes. People who were watching SF films before the Star Wars movie came out were not the huge audience who embraced Star Wars. Star Wars didn't make 'science fiction' a mainstream thing. It was just a mainstream movie that many people outside the SF community considered as being Science Fiction.
Real Computer Guys (tm) don't necessarily have lists of the best 'sci-fi' film tucked away in their heads.
'WarGames' would be like watching 'Big Bang Theory.' To a non-nerd it appears that the characters on the program are nerds. But nerds don't watch programs like that. The characters in BBT would never watch their show. Well... maybe they would....
You're missing the point. Because BK will likely not suffer any legal action against them for this stunt, they are in fact legitimizing the activity of triggering digital assistants. A lack of legal action or punishment can easily set a precedent.
And they aren't exposing jack shit because no one cares.
Well, if the controversy forces Google to release a firmware update for these things that turns them into USB Speakers, we will all be better off anyway.
We all know Google will kill the devices eventually. That's just how Google rolls. Someone else, i.e Burger King, may as well get some practical use out of their poorly designed interface before they shut it down.
We already ate a meal at Burger King specifically because of the attention this whole matter has brought to them.
I like Burger King. They have far less of a slick corporate appearance and approach in how they do business. The local stands here are privately owned franchises. Their whole approach to publicity seems more down-to-earth and working class. They make a far better burger than McDonalds, so at a bar minimum, raising awareness of their company will cause me to steer towards them in the future.
Yes, choice is a horrible thing to have. That's why there is only one model of computer available and why all non-black coloured automobiles that aren't Fords failed to sell.
"Make the switch"?? My car is a 2006 model, and it seems to be running fine. I will buy another like it when it quits working. How am I going to be 'crushed in the collapse?' You make no sense.
I create WSUS isos to do all my updates of Windows 7, and some form of WGA malware crept in recently and now 'This copy of Windows is not genuine.'
It hasn't crept into any of my Windows 7 VMs. In fact, I should probably experiment with the large collect of datestamped WSUS isos on some VMs and try to identify when and where Microsoft snuck in the shiv.

No, just cancel the dialog box.
And if you're planning to boot up the system frequently, go and delete the *.pwd files in the Windows directory.
You're right. It's always that simple:
"Vote for me! My party will fix everything."
Sorry. You're just a political hack.

We only had FOCAL, on a PDP-8.
The binary sequence to boot the thing up was actually an octal sequence on the console switches, to get the high speed optical paper tape reader to start loading the FOCAL interpreter.
Avatar, and most of the films like it, are just obvious ripoffs of the Hasbro commercials we watched as kids.
They're simply vehicles to sell toys and spin-off merchandise. Lucus and Pixar films are some of the most extreme examples that come to mind.

GP doesn't, because Apple does his thinking for him.
Not only are they geniuses, they have proxy-geniuses located in retail outlets right near your home.
In modern horror movies, the zombies moan 'flagship' where they used to moan 'brains.'
We could try coaxing it back inside with a sugar cube, or an apple.
You lay down a CVS Tag and the build technician builds from it. Releases are clearly identified with an MD5 identifier.
If only one official binary exists, it's what people will run.

TV remote control patterns are infra-red light beams. You'd end up frying all the songbirds in the neighborhood, and blinding all the children.
Yes, you would get into trouble.
Who was told to leave?
Google just went passive aggressive and treated it like a challenge.
They're rocking back in forth in their chair now and moaning with rage.
We're going to shop, shop, shop up a storm!
We're under your bed at night! Shopping!
Fear the shopper. Especially the Walmart shopper! Treat them with contempt.
Because you're fucking afraid of them!
The story submitter is probably being paid by Burger King.
You know, to keep Burger King going as a topic, and continue to get more positive return from the campaign.
I am happy that rage-tard keeps spinning, because the pee is all over his face.
The Owners of the Install Base usually win.
Microsoft doesn't own all that hardware.
Yes, choice is a horrible thing to have. That's why there is only one model of computer available and why all non-black coloured automobiles that aren't Fords failed to sell.
I drive a black Ford Ranger, you fool.
So where are the same custom drivers for Linux??
IT doesn't even have them to install??
No vendor tweaks available for download from the hardware manufacturer??
(welcome to Linux)
