He could have a real patent instead of a software pattent, we support those you know. It's not like we think people shouldn't be able to protect the "Computerized Better Mousetrap" Just that they shouldn't be able to pattent "Better Mousetrap OS Upgrade 5 subversion 23" that uses the exact same hardware, to do the exact same job, where copyright law would be quite satasfactory to cover the new software.
It's called an explitive. Yes, realy, the word is an actual part of speach, though common usage has twisted it into meaning words that are unacceptable for publication. An explitive is a word that adds flavor to written or spoken communication that does not alter the meaning of that communication. Thank you for playing the grammar game, but please, understand what you're criticizing before you play again.
What monitor are you using? You say USB modem, are you talking cable, DSL, or analog? Also USB support for networking is realy spotty on Linux, if you're talking cable or DSL you'd get more success with ethernet instead.
The problem with lines and weird things like that sounds like a sync rate issue. The USB mouse not working is something totaly outside my experience. It has quite literaly NEVER happened to me, so I don't have any idea what the solution could be.
Um, Now I'm not the sort that usualy feeds trolls. Ok, I'm not the type that usualy feeds unamusing trolls, but I have to ask what the fuck you're smoking that you're having all these problems. First of I've never had to Decompile anything in Linux, occationaly I have to compile software that doesn't have a package for my distro, and in fact I kind of prefer to compile the software. But I've never had to DEcompile anything. Secondly what sort of USB mouse are you using that's not supported straight out of the box, I've not had an issue with that since I started using the 2.4 series kernel. As far as ease of instaliation and finding applications, most distros have an everything option that installs more software than you're likely to want. Including an office suite, at least one IM client, At least one web browser, several games, and many other things. I've also not had any trouble configuring X on any machine running a mainstream distro in a very long time. With most distros they actualy manage to probe your video card chipset, and your sync rate. If they can't probe it you just have to know your model to select it from a list. It's not like Linux is realy particulary dificult. If you're not just trolling and you've genunely had these problems, you must have some realy odd hardware, because any time I've dealt with Linux it's Just Worked.
That was for a the developer's edition, ment for making office based applications. the licence said you could only make applications meant to be deployed on windows.
That wireless keyboard and mouse thing does sound kinda scary. I'd start tripping out about it, and I'm a 1337 l1nuX d00d. I probably wouldn't call my ISP over it, but I'd certianly start trying to find the intruder, and probably set up a sniffer.
Well, never having been an eskimo, and never having eaten whale blubber I can't realy difinitvely argue with that. But most people don't eat things that they think taste bad. Even if they don't like the taste at first they aquire a taste for whatever it is that they eat. Also whale blubber is hardly the only thing on the artic buffet. There's seal blubber, seal oil, whale meat, seal meat, fish, caribou, polar bear, lemming, dog, wolf, other meats, and even during some parts of the year fresh fruits and vegtables.
Um, you can't schedule meetings using POP or IMAP. Since the previous poster stated being able to set up thunderbird, and also because only an idiot uses NT domain logins over the interweb I'm pretty sure that nobody is scheduling anything from home.
Exactly my point. Any language is good, any programing is good. You just have to DO something, then you can learn from what you've done right, or what you've done wrong.
Just do it. The first step to learning to program is to just start programing. I know that sounds a little trite, but honestly, unless you just start programing the theory of programing isn't going to mean much. Then once you've learned a little about how to program you can start thinking about the "One true methodology".
What's the point? the Nano already holds more MP3s than you can listen to in one battery life. the 6 gigs of mp3s/oggs I have on my PC are already almost 4 DAYS of music, played continuosly. 60 gigs would be more than 60 hours of UNCOMPRESSED audio. There's no way to listen to your music that much before going home again, so once again, why bother.
Yeah, but most ATMs use dialup or a dedicated connection to the bank that owns them as their connection. They don't communicate with their home bank using a Teir 1. They MIGHT use a Teir 1 for comunicating with other banks, or several Teir ones, or they might simply have a banking only internet that connects all the banks, and is connected to the public internet. Or isn't realy connected to the public internet. anyway I'm starting to get less coherent, so I'll go back to my corner and shut up now.

Let's go kill some MOBs sounds great to me. Unfortunatly the people I MMO with often don't understand what a MOB is. Damn you Graphical games for changing terms I've been using for years!
Um, please give evidence of your points. If you want to talk out your ass with revisionist history don't expect not to be called on it. Thank you, have a nice day.
And software isn't effectivly shipped as a kit? Wow, that's a new one to me. He still had to design the kit, and it had to work genericaly under a wide variety of situations. I don't see how this invalidates my argument at all. Considering the complexity of a bridge it's a far more apt relation to software than the bridge thing.
You either fix it yourself or you pay someone who does not work for the company to fix it. Of course I've never owned a car with a warranty, that's one of the disadvantages of being a poor asshole. I've been doing a lot more "fixing myself" than I'd realy like to have done. Hell, they don't even provide you with the schematics, you have to buy a book to tell you what goes where and how to pull off and put on parts.
I might not be able to design a bridge that works in these conditions, but Buckminster Fuller designed an arena that could be build under these conditions. He used color coded steel beams, shiped as a kit. A handfull of engineers and an indigenous workforce could build a large dome in aproximatly 3 days, even if they didn't speak a single word of a common language. The engineers would be amazingly like the compiler that condenses your code into actual machine code. Also it is quite posible to write in those opcodes, and can be rather enjoyable. Please stop talking out of your ass.
Wow, 2 machines kernel panicked in 2 days, how the fuck did you manage that. The only times I've had kernel panics have been due to flaky hardware, eg IRQ conflicts, or actual burned out components. I've had Bind and Apache both crash on my machines and never once has it caused a kernel panic. I call bullshit.
Sure it is, it's a word in hacker slang. Given that this is a hacker website, I don't know why you're upset about seeing hacker slang. Damn, are you going to feel the need to jump over every w00t and pwn on a gaming site to?

Log out, get drunk, lighten up. When the collective wants your opinion we will give it to you. Nothing to see here, move along, move along.

It's called Red Book. It's a different "file" system than ISO 9660. It is standard, but it's not rippable as an ISO image.

Wow, that had almost as many acronyms as the last system I was told to set up by my PHB. Do you work for the government or a government contracor?

Not if router1 rounter2 and router3 have names like kirk, spock, and mccoy. Don't assume everyone uses genric names like he just did.

Just out of curiosity what platoform have you used that doesn't have a version control system?
