Am I the only one that sees all this push for the gold standard as a way for people making the push to raise the cost of gold to excessive levels before they dump it all and make a massive profit at the expense of those who listened to them?
Because I swear, that's what it looks like is happening with the gold shit.
The best reaction during the alternative screening is to moan and act like you enjoy it too much. Make it as uncomfortable for them as they've made it for everyone else.
Slackware 5 and 6 didn't exist. It was a marketing ploy effectively by jumping from 4 to 7 to keep up with the numberings of other newer distros that people were thinking were "more developed" by using other marketing ploys to do numberings.
My mac exposure is about 2x a year, so by the time I get to one again I'll forget the system config -> search function:)
All my customers use windows, and I use linux for some higher end projects, phone systems and routers. There is exactly 2 mac's at customer sites, and we just recently pawned the mac service off to a guy that deals with them specifically (and sends us all his windows work)
I do end up googling a lot when I'm in front of one, but that's a much less efficient way than knowing the system of course.
Reading comprehension not your strong suit I take it? That post wasn't a whine, it was a commentary on the previous posters whine. I at no point in that post complained about a mac and was very clear that my being unable to use it efficiently was due to not knowing the system. I can do stuff quickly, efficiently, and productively on windows or linux, because that's what I deal with mostly.
Why must the user click two keyboard keys for the same function that every other os (Yes, every other one.) only requires a single key press, and a single press is a logical expected command for it? How is that exactly the "superior" UI that keeps getting touted? That's intentionally making it more difficult on the user there, and is a very valid UI criticism, and there are obviously more that can be given.
Terminal rm is significantly easier to remember for those of us who are used to systems that work the way 94% of the world uses them (has mac os hit 7% market share world wide yet?)
Even under the most retarded configurations the control panel in windows is at most 2 clicks away. If you can't click twice to get to something the average user shouldn't be messing with (and if you've seen the average user, mac or windows, you'll agree to that point) then you shouldn't be in it anyway. I find whenever I'm on a mac I can't find shit, spending 20 minutes trying to find it, and usually end up having to open up terminal to make a change because I know linux/unix systems significantly better. That is not a criticism of the UI, any lack of ability to find something in the most efficient way is always 100% the user not knowing the system.
A mac is no more intuitive, it's all about what you're used to.
It is impossible to make a profit without screwing over someone in the deal. That is flat out a fact of economics. All profit is theft. That being said, taxes, inflation and the rest are a balancing of the theft of business from the working population.
The point of saying what they are is sometimes it can be funny on how the captcha lines up with the post or subject. We all already know they are random, that was obvious.
You can still tether without signing up for a tethering plan. I've been doing it for 2 years on t-mo without any extra charges. I did once get a "contact customer service to continue using this feature" page but that went away after a few hours (and I was particularly abusive to the tether feature that month)
The data recovery company we use whenever our customers need it is about 1200 to start, 1800 if you don't provide destination media, and quickly skyrocketing if the damage is bad enough.
It should reflect the percentage of the wealth they take from society, gained legally or not. Someone who is in the top 1% is able to contribute more, and to have a functional society, they MUST contribute more or the economy will dissolve due to a complete breakdown of the principles of economy. That 1% that holds 99% of the wealth should also be covering 99% of the tax requirements due to the fact that they hold 99% of societies wealth.
All fighting this is doing is leading us to a revolution, and it won't be the 1% that survive. The 90% have far more guns, and far more anger over being raped by that 1% financially.
An interesting fact, all profit is theft, because it is impossible to profit without screwing over someone else. Keep that in mind when you consider your so called wealth, it's all illicitly gained.

For now, I know firefox was talking at one point of dropping XP support and we aren't far from the rest of the current software developers doing the same. A 12 year old Linux system is still just as usable, but you would be a fool to think any 12 year old system with no updates is in any way secure. As Microsoft is soon to phase out all updates for XP, you'll find that your 12 year old OS is no longer really usable.
You'll also find that your not getting the performance if your running that 12 year old OS on newer hardware since you have a lack of 64 bit support, lower memory allowances, and worse video performance capabilities.
You'll also find you still have to reboot on a frequent basis, a Linux system can go years without a reboot (and our Linux based phone systems do go 2+ years without frequently)
If they followed the rules of the road and moved to the right leaving the left lanes to passing traffic this wouldn't be an issue. The argument of driving 15 mph saves x minutes is very valid, as is the complaint of horrible drivers not following road etiquette 101 and leaving room for faster drivers.
Not even, I had a friend who got a DUI for sleeping in the back seat in a parking lot where he was drinking so he could sleep off the drunk. The reason he got the DUI? The keys were inside the car, so he had the ability to drive, if he wasn't passed out drunk in the back. The judge agreed with the cop on this one.
All you need is keys anywhere near, and to be in the vehicle now with the way MADD has pushed to get DUI laws twisted.
I cooked in a high end restaurant for 3 years, you would be shocked at the shitty quality of the crap they serve people and slap a massive price tag on. We had profit margins in the range of 300% on our least profitable item and consistently got 5 star ratings.
Marinating beef adds in a flavor that your aged steaks can't obtain, you just need to know what and how to marinate it.
And you can take a Fillet Steak, marinate it and cook it for around $8 and have it taste far better than the restaurant mass cooked crap that usually has no flavor. Your not really helping the argument with that.
The sizzle as you put it is flair, its glitter, its not innovation. Suing over that is like suing because someone else went to your Halloween party dressed as your favorite character from a shitty book or movie. As for better, what did they do better? I know on my iPad (yes, I have one, doesn't mean I still don't think apple is a shithole of a company that does more harm than good) I experience 10x the crashes than I do on my android tablet. I can watch flash on my android tablet. What is better about an apple device? I don't see any better. I see a reality distortion field and too many people are drinking from the apple kool-aid to realize how little that company has actually done.
Well considering apple has been in courts saying they couldn't compete with Samsung if the courts didn't grant the injunction against the galaxy tab back in 2011...
Samsung is the big dog on the block, and apple is afraid.
What exactly in the iPhone is new or novel? Everything done in it has been done in other phones before it, all they did was package up everyone else's innovations make it pretty and slap a logo on it and claim they invented the phone market. Slide to unlock was as obvious as it gets when your dealing with a touch screen. How would you propose you unlock a smart phone?
I guess they need to listen to their same line of not stealing others tech, because that's precisely what they did when they made the iPhone.

It's a good thing there isn't a handy command like "apt-get dist-upgrade" on debian based systems or anything.
