I hear the next version will vote itself. No more getting up and leaving the house. You get all the presidents you deserve just by sitting in front of the TV and complaining about the outcome.
Ok, speaking of embarrasing posts here is the corrected version WITHOUT tags that slashdot mistakes as HTML (I think i quit posting now before it gets even worse....;-) :
You sir are a fucking genius and I am a moron beyond belief! Here I am pressing strag+/ all the time since I am doing shift+/ in VI subconsciously. Of course it works. I am more lost than I thought.;) Geez! You saved my day and this is actually very embarassing!

funny that you mention it. I wish there would be a / find function instead of ctrl+f. Being the two tools I use mostly throughout the day I would appreciate a unified way of searching, regardless where I want to search.
Hey, while we're at it, how about a term that opens new tabs with crtl+t?
After years of fragmented Windows versions they finally made the one true merged OS that they had been praising for so long. Windows 2000 was really one OS to rule them all.
But as soon as XP came out they invented a home edition, a professional edition, delayed the server and splitted up again. Why? And now this.
It seems it's really all about the money. Sad, in a way. Since, other than with Unix, the most exploits still work cross Windows platform.:)
It's weird indeed. Not only do I recognize the exact phrase I can even HEAR the tonality in wich Vader gives the spech. In english AND in german. *sigh*
Well, one question I asked myself while struggling with Win95 in 1995 was "Will I feel the same nostalgia for this in ten years that I feel for homecomputers from the 1980s?"
I can finally say: "Not a single bit! I am glad it's dead. And I am looking forward for it's brothers to die too."
Very valid point! Just like those Angussteak burgers they were serving at McDonalds. They were gross. I had only one ever, and I am a meat addict. It sure tasted like a steak but it had the structure of a chicken nugget. Totally off and disgusting...
It's also boring B/W while googles maps are color.
Hey, sidenote, if you come to visit my hometown munich, germany for soccer championship (I know you US guys couldn't care less) next year be sure to check out our new stadion wich is a true beauty by now and got deleted from MSN with my entire country.:)
Slippery slope here. I, as a german, am very scared of this kind of argument: Look, you can always build an Orwellian system and claim that the innocent people have nothing to worry about. But as history shows, the line begins to blur if the right is bent to the point where law itself might be questionable.
Germans that followed german law throughout the 30s did the "right thing" by handing jews over to the gestapo. Actually it would have been a crime back then not to do so. Lots of "innocent" germans got killed because some neighbour decided to make something up and in such a regime it is you who has to prove he's innocent. Then add an expired visa to the mix and all of a sudden you are in serious trouble.
All I'm saying is that power and control in the hands of a nation can easily be installed but is a real pain to get rid of and it almost certainly leads to misuse and corruption.
Judging the cops that shot the guy is not my decision to make. But if we start tolerating stuff like that than the terrorists have almost won since they successfully attacked our liberty and personal freedom. And THAT pisses me of...
Can't provide a source right now but as far as I can remember those cops wore civil clothing since they were observing. Personally I'd run for my life too in a city at highest terrorlevel while beeing chased by some fellows in coats waving guns in my direction.
Exactly. That's why it's useless. Hey, this guy will go to work tomorrow. and the day after tomorrow. and then on weekends he will go to the pub. And then one day he snapped and shot his wife, his kids and himself with a 9mm. Who saw that coming? Won't ever work with this kind of prediction.
Like sleepers that lead a normal life and one day they blow themselves up in a the back of a bus. If monitoring like this would be used by the police then we wouldn't be allowed to step out of our routine ever. Or we would be shot like that brasilian guy in london who was at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Life is unpredictable. Get over it and stop stealing personal rights just because you think you could get a little more control....

the hardest part about paying something was the signing part not the weeks of labour that went into earning the money in the first place. :)

Damn, and I was hoping to get some insight on how this guy could be used to solve the worlds energy problem.
Digital rights management.

Or did I miss something?
No no, just as Vista now XP was the "most significant new product cycle since Windows 95". *moan*
Even their PR is getting boring. Get a grip Microsoft.
Funny, in a perpendicular way. Remember that one? ;)

Did I miss a joke here?
It even looks cooler. ;)
Hi,

Sorry if this looks like a shameless attempt to push my auction, in fact it is.
But maybe someone is interested...
cheers,

"Ant writes" how can we be sure he wasn't brainwashed too? :)

Your post was so much more newsworthy than the original story. Nice app indeed. :)

BEN: We haven't that much with us. But we could pay you two thousand

Let's continue this thread until the end of the saga.
Can I have a pony? :)
