Dont forget the petrol industry. The first diesel engine wasmade to run on hemp oil. Not to mention all the other stuff that could be made. BTW, I actualy didnt think about the drug companies' angle, thanks.
Mental discipline? Dude, I can't force myself to concentrate when reading a good book, let alone studying. I tried to get some sort of phentilamine (like meth or extasy, only clinical), partially cuz I need it, partialy because this loneliness is killing me, and I need a distraction (more work, or getting high, frankly, I don't care). End result - some halfassed first gen antipsychotic ("to help me sleep" - what a moron that doctor was) and a stern and obnoxious speech from my parents. quote - "Getting a girlfriend is giving, and we are trying to give to you, so you can develop yourself" and - "Forget doctors, you should rely on US!". Now I plan to get drunk, seen as thats the only substance-mediated mental assistance I am gonna get. And I need it. There is a non-drug related way that I'm sure will help, but here'd the hitch - it would involve gentle physical touch and some caring by a non-parent (A.K.A. getting in a relationship), so thats not happening.
Sorry for the near-OT post, but I felt the need to share this, and I didn't know who else to go to. Mods, please don't destroy my karma!
PS - Would somebody please reply, I just feel like... insignificant/no-one-gives-a-shit-about-me-ness. Any response is welcome. I just need to know that there is at least a random/.er out there, who, at one point thought about me. Thanks in advance.
Man, I wish HE was my dad. My actual father is just as cocky (no jokes, pls), but not nearly as fun. Or pragmatic in his approach to some things *cough*drugs*cough*.
Uhh, too bad we still don't have an Apple-alike for Linux. Asus, MSI, etc. are all great, but not good enough. For instance, Xandros - not the best OS choice, I'd say. People sometimes don't want something good enough (windows) or something that feels like it. They want something better. Hence the market Apple has. Of course, their target demographic, artsy types, people in need of a penis/breast enlargement operaton, etc. prefer OS X. But I think that a spcialised hardware company that bundles good software with it, so as to be just works (TM), would get a good share, if they add on nifty features as well. Not just good enough (like dell), but better (like sun microsystems). Hey, maybe we can get them to make a semi-embeded version (again, apple showed that it doesnt have to be win compatible, or general apps compatible).
Industrial style, eh? Now, get some Sun Microsystems hardware in it, preferably with a low voltage Sirocco core, to make up for the outrageous pricetag, and i might look into it. Seriously, why do users insist on their PCs (OK, Macs) looking like toys?
Difference - there is way more tech improvements and innovation in a Porche than an El Cheapo auto. Mac vs PC, nowadays? Uhhh, EFI? No, thanks, I like Open Firmware better.
Whats everyone got against the XP GUI? I think its pretty and non-(really)-obtrusive. And XP in general is quite a non-trashy system. I'll miss the damn thing. I pretty much grew up with the thing, along with some Win98 pains. Taught me a lot about computers (and patience). *sigh* I'm 15, andalready am acting like an old man. Thank god for/., really.
What makes you think they'll allow it? Its only used by child pornograghers, terrorists and drugies, you know. Along with that AWFUL NNTP, and torrents. God, I wish I was joking. *sigh* *facepalm* *shootshimself*
If your DTV is getting interference from *nearby*, but not overlapping channels, then its just plain broken. Either that, or the other device. End of discussion.
What does 'funny' mean in this context? Because the rendering in Chrome sometimes puts the Parent under the Reply button. It fixes up when I collapse and reopen the comment in question, so its really weird. Whatever. Its even faster than Opera, so I'm happy.;)
That even isn't true hypermiling, the car is most efficient at near full power, so you should accelerate at that value. Maybe you just got stuck behind a granny.;)
they are made from a rectangular steel frame, with engine, seats and body bolted on, so they are dead simple. Affordable? The first Ford SUV cost $40000 to make, I think, and sold for ~$60000. That, and their fuel consumtion included, tell me how is this affordable. High-tech? A crippled embedded computer, and some overpriced basic features? Jeez.
We are not asking for free internet. We are asking for free etherspace to carry that internet, which is public property. And seen as it is only a communication medium, any censorship is suppressing free speech. Setting up the network is somone else's job. And yes, I support FLOSS, as most of us here at/., right guys?

Cluster fsck? Dude, just wait for luster to port over to a ZFS backend. Then, no more fsck EVER! I love Sun Microsystems! I am the Lizard King!
Uhh, if I were you, I'd have plain killed the bitch for something like that. Then again, this must be the pills talking...

Yeah, that would be just like you, Bill. Replacing yourself with a shell script. I'll probably do the same when the time comes.

A trillion flies can't be wrong - eat shit. I so love that sig, whose is it, anyway?
Double tap-n-hold. Works well. Tap twice, like a double click, but dont release second time, really nifty.

Amen brother. Why is this Funny, BTW?
My first thought was 'tldr dept.' - why'd they skip the n? I spend way too much time on windows. Btw, isn't that a tad long for a summary?
You, sir have too much free time. *bows down to new master*

That explains the funky filesystem and oo API...

The username is really apropriate, I must say.

incredibly complex, affordable, high-tech SUVs

These are the values that society has decided on and, for the most part, the majority of people seem happy about them.
