Secondly, the Police are working stiffs just like you or me. They get paid a LOT less than other jobs and get worked a lot harder (although it's usually a personal responsibility thing whether or not they actually DO the work). So before you say they "almost NEVER come to your door to "help" you" you should understand that they aren't saints.
So basically when ever they abuse their power we should just ignore it because their job is hard? What a fucking stupid statement.
If police were getting paid a lot more, then there is justification to judge them more harshly, but as it is it's just a regular blue collar profession.
Oh boohoo. We all know that those poor people were FORCED to be cops against their will. No, they should be judged more harshly because of the fact that they have an enormous amount of power that they can wield. If you think the things that he is saying is some how an exaggeration of things then you must be willfully ignorant.
Apparently someone has never heard of prosecutorial discretion before. What you're whining about is something that prosecutors do every day and have done for centuries.
Think of how hard it would be for apple to magically support any nVidia AGP card you plopped in there, and then, PCI, and then PCIexpress and so on. Then, when they got that down perfectly, nVidia releases something like 5 or more cards every year. Cool, huh? Now multiply that by thousands of companies.
Exactly what is supposed to be hard about this? You get the driver from NVidia and install it on the OS. Wow, that was hard.
No, they were both involved. Which is the whole reason why Rodriguez left the Director's Guild in order to get Frank Miller his deserved director's credit.
Open source.NET implementation is at Version 1.x level while Windows.NET is at 3.x level. All commercial developers ship.NET 3.x code now. So what was the point?
This statement doesn't make any sense. Mono's version numbers don't map 1:1 to.NET version numbers.
If the version in question is unpublished and considered by a company to be its trade secret, then publishing it may be a violation of trade secret law, depending on other circumstances. The GPL does not change that. If the company tried to release its version and still treat it as a trade secret, that would violate the GPL, but if the company hasn't released this version, no such violation has occurred.
However, plain jane dumb users (the kind in OfficeSpace) aren't going to be dropping to the shell and running sh configure, make, make install as root.
And they wouldn't need to. They would provide the user with a precompiled binary just like you would anywhere else. This whole nonsense about how no one can use Linux apps because this imagined idea that everyone has to compile their own programs is just stupid.
So, even though, in my hypothetical situation, the "party A" would have been the winner, Party B and C could vote against Party A, and party A would lose the vote.
So then in effect you've just gone to 2 party rule again. Great idea.

Yeah, how dare he ever speak out against the wrong doings of police officers. That's downright traitorous!
but as long as I have my analog cable
Did someone miss the memo about analog broadcasts ending at the end of this year?

Oh wait...
That must be why most of the 3D CGI in films sticks out so much.
It wasn't so long ago that the consensus was that you couldn't compress audio...so much for that idea (does anyone remember those days?).
You mean except for the fact that audio compression systems have been around for decades? Exactly who were these people claiming such things?
For anyone to see, that is. People seem to have made up this notion that an open standard means something it never meant.
AAC is an open standard, as in the spec is publicly available for anyone.

It's kind of moot considering that one would have to transcode from ogg to something useful if one is to listen to the files on a portable player.
Actually a number of portable players support OGG and for things like iPods, etc you just install RockBox. No need to transcode anything.
Sorry, but that's not QUITE true. You need the DirectX 9c DLL's to do D3D stuff under WINE. That should be your first clue.
And you also need other dlls to do other stuff under WINE. Doesn't mean it's being emulated.
That's just what they want you to think! http://tim.movementarian.com/archives/computer_bomb.jpg

They're not boxing gloves, they're his hands. How many times do we have to cover this?
Did you miss this part underneath the title?

I think that answers that question.
I thought this was because D3D calls were emulated
No, that's due to the overhead of translating the D3D calls to OpenGL. There is no emulation going on.
Good thing you posted that twice within 10 minutes of each other else we might have missed it.

Have fun in your instanced PvP, carebear.
And your evidence is...?
Our evidence comes from double-blind scientific studies not anecdotes.
As long as you carebears stay away all is good.

What exactly is wrong about showing a wife that their husband is a cheating scumbag? I'm still baffled by why people think this is a bad thing.
Oh boohoo. A bunch of cheating husbands got exposed as being the scumbags they are. Pardon me while I have no sympathy.
