For a MISDEMEANOR you get FUCKING JAIL, NOT FUCKING PRISON, ASSHOLES.
And on Slashdot, you normally get modded down for that many capitals in such a short post. Also, does every reader of your post REALLY need to see three "four letter" words?
While the use of colorful language can often indeed put a good deal of emphasis on a particular issue, it fails to work when there is no context (like here - where no-one knows if you swear a lot of not at all) but it also fails to work when there is too much emphasis in a bit of text (like here) as the emphasis is lost in an overall blur. Basically, if you put everything in bold, it's all normal and there is no bold highlight.
Also, I read a few posts down you have a reason to be angry and that someone is too much of a moron to understand why? Again, it's all about communication. If you want to be treated like an adult, like an equal member of a community (whether here on slashdot or in life in general) instantly dismissing people only alienates them and will result in further ostracising you in this situation. If you can't be bothered to explain why you are angry, don't expect anyone to understand, or much less care that you are.
Finally,that this band spent "millions" making an album constitutes a hostile act toward their fans and the very art of music. Seventeen years and millions of dollars to put out a record of three-chord, blues-based rock and roll? They have lost their fucking minds.
Technically, I am sure it didn't cost millions to PRODUCE itself, but rather the lifestyles that GNR had for seventeen years cost millions - hence the price tag on the album.
Seriously, anybody else expecting, well, MORE with that headline? Like a complete mapping of function calls, or something?
Yeah, I was expecting a little more. While I am sure that a few semi shaded boxes with the main kernel concepts is great, and you can move it left and right, and zoom in and out... it's still a very high level image detailing not very much.
I mean really, "File System" contains entries like:/fs/file/sys_read/sys_write. Not to be rude, but is this exactly a revelation to ANYONE?
It is a problem with death generally. Its a bit like in western culture there are things people prefer not to discuss in polite company like what you do in the toilet but in other cultures people are more open.
What exactly do you mean by "do in the toilet"? We are pretty open about taking a piss, hanging a shit or choking the chicken. Is there something I am missing?
The one liberty that they shouldn't have messed with.
There will be a real life city raid (bloody revolution in Beijing), and China will be a democracy by May.
George Dubbya, is that you? Have we found oil deposits in China?
WTF? So what did they replace the whole plaguelands, undercity, Tirisfal, and Silverpine with? Evil Tibetans?;)
Riiiiight. So "Chinese Ghost Story" is okay, ergo people getting "biblical" with ghosts and lots of "long time" moments, but a game where you can run about as a smash-guitar-rockband skeleton is off limits?
I think it's all about the raiding of cities personally. We can't give the plebs these fanciful ideas that if enough tards get together, they can go zerg a nearby town they don't like. Oh no, we can't give them that idea.
If I go onto a Disney children's forum and post nothing but swear words, and Disney deletes it, is that censorship too?
Look, stop right there with your common sense attitude. Turn one hundred and eight degrees to either side, and then proceed to move forwards in a brisk manner. You and your oversized brain are not welcome here.
Let me point out the lines and what they mean. Clearly you are new to corporation-speak.
Dell responded to the crack by saying that the demo laptop was a pre-production model that had already been dropped a hundred times.
The cockup that we said wouldn't happen did actually happen, so here is an excuse that sounds plausible that you cannot verify and have to take our word for.
There's a three-year warranty on the machine and a cracked screen will be replaced immediately, Bolen said.
Well, it doesn't really do what we told you it would, but at least we can replace your broken screen. At our place. While you don't have anything to use. Sorry.
Now is the outlines of a problem starting to crop up a little more?
And if you had read TFA, then you would not be making incorrect assumptions based on what you think developers are getting in arms about.
This is not because Apple is taking a 30% cut. It is because of a number of other reasons such as Apple not managing App developments, being amazingly whimsical about what is approved/not approved.
Having said that, what exactly do you have against people going through the effort of developing a competing "App Store" with similar bells and whistles.
Yes, you can put them up on a website and give it away for free, which means that you either make apps that have ad revenue as your business model, or you do this purely for the love of doing it. If you want to actually have a business model though, and Apple is bungling/fumbling the only way you can sell your iPhone App, what's wring with offering it through an alternate source?
This is not to provide Jailbroken apps. The summary merely said that as only jailbroken phones would be able to access the new store.
No offense, but do try to make an effort of at least skimming the article before you unload two barrels of angst into the staring eyes of slashdotters.
Besides, the real "leveling of city blocks" you're talking about last happened in WW2, right here, where I live (I live in a post-war building). And now I am not calling even THAT "out of proportion", since at that time, this country's government had the same plans about the Jews as Hamas has today.
A Lebanese or Lebanese backed group kidnaps an Israeli soldier. What does the Israeli army do to Lebanon in response?
Wealth isn't a fixed pie to be divided up; it's something that's actively created by people's actions. Your wealth does not cause my poverty.
Ahhh, but what if it's in the interest of the wealthy people to keep the other people in poverty? Hello African Loans for example? Hello Israel leveling the Lebanese infrastructure?
What you say is true at a surface level, but if a country is developing wealth much quicker than another one, it may seem that they are in fact causing poverty to creep into another one. Suddenly you can't keep feeding someone scraps and expecting to be thanked graciously.
To put it another way, which might help demonstrate what the original poster meant (and what is quite factual) look at it this way. Lets say there are ten countries in the world. One of them is fabulously rich. So rich in fact that it's wealth makes up 91% of all the worlds wealth (the other nine countries have a mere 1% each). It is indeed very powerful. If the other nine countries pick up their act and all also work hard and make lots of wealth, lets say their individual "wealths" rise to be half that of the wealthy country. Yes, the original country is still just as wealthy as it once was, but it's value globally has diminished from being 91% of the world to being just 22% of global wealth.
So, yes, "have's and have not's" go hand in hand with "I have and you can't have" as all the rich nations don't want to lost their stranglehold on the global finances.
Are they trying an easy way to beef up their patent portfolio, for defensive tactics, to keep up the yearly count or simply to prove how broken the system is?
Think about it. Big Company. Decides to manage patent portfolio. Hires patent manager. Patent manager is assessed on statistics. Manager decides he will ensure his figures look good.
No, the "pirates" who counterfeit DVD's and flog them off at markets and bazaars will still do so. The average Joe Bloggs filesharer isn't trying to make a business out of filesharing, so offering it for free is merely imitating them - which won't stop them doing it.
It's pretty much as the article says, it is merely putting more control into the hands of the publisher/broadcaster in this case.

Not to be rude, but italics is for freehand text or emphasis. Italics on most computer screens just make for harder to read annoyingly slanted text.
Stop it.

On my Amiga I can still convert a CD to MP3s and upload them with little worry of anyboady cathing me
Cathing you... as in inserting a catheter? Ewww! You live around some strange people!

I think there is enough "prior use" of this to invalidate your patent.
Can't anyone find this place without their TomTom to reply normally?
Seriously, anybody else expecting, well, MORE with that headline? Like a complete mapping of function calls, or something?

I mean really, "File System" contains entries like:

What exactly is the problem with skeletons?
It is a problem with death generally. Its a bit like in western culture there are things people prefer not to discuss in polite company like what you do in the toilet but in other cultures people are more open.

A Lebanese or Lebanese backed group kidnaps an Israeli soldier. What does the Israeli army do to Lebanon in response?
Please discuss how that is proportionate?
What you call barbarism I call self-defense.
What is the correct response to the international dipshittery that US foreign affairs plays each day?
Wealth isn't a fixed pie to be divided up; it's something that's actively created by people's actions. Your wealth does not cause my poverty.

All good, it will wind up on Wikileaks.org as soon as someone pays their bills.
Let's take ice, drop it from the sky, and tell people as it melts that we've created rain!!!
If ice is falling from the sky, and it melts into droplets and falls as water - what would you call it other than rain?
Where did you get this little bit then eh?
And don't go modding it Informative unless you see it's actually true, rather than just stirring the pot more.

All hail bureaucracy!

It worked with Iraq.
No, it didn't, but the joke is on them!
high schools still had gun target practice as an extra curricular activity
You have GOT to be kidding right? Seriously, schools had gun target practice?
No, you know, it's all starting to make sense...
