Henry Ford's "better carriage" quote was more about the invention and innovation of entirely new concepts and products than it was about the experience of existing ones. Consumers very much know what they want when it comes to things they use every day which have existed for any length of time.
Holy shit, I can smell the evil coming off you. Check it out, bro: many of us around here do like to do almost everything ourselves. That's why we use Linux, which can be a time-consuming hobby in and of itself. That's why we learn to code, which can take years to master. That's why we're mechanics, chefs, publishers, writers, and so forth, all by ourselves. Your specialization horse-shit was covered very well in a document called Industrial Society and Its Discontents by Theodore Kacynski, aka, the Unabomber. While his actions are unconscionable, the reasoning you display was very well covered in that document, also called his "manifesto." Ironically, Kacynski hated many of the things I love, ie, technology, but I was still willing to read and understand his philosophy. I recommend you do the same, and then realize what a lowlife you have become in your young age. This is something that can't be stated clearly enough.
Yes, but people compile binaries for Mac often. Perhaps a rich Mac user (aren't they all rich?) could donate some late-model Macs which will handle the next few releases of OSX in order to debug on them?
The population of coders who might be able to help before the next major stable release who'd be interested to see where it is headed since 1.4 is set to be a big change with CargoDist?
This is a simulation and, as in RL, cargo as such does not care but those who sent it and those who paid for it do care. So if sawmill A paid forrest X for 400 tons lumber then the sawmill very much wants to get those 400 tons of lumber.
And then there can also be points based on efficiency and timeliness of delivery and so forth. It will be awesome.
First, thanks @paskie for mentioning this. I had read about that awhile back, but forgot it. I just copied/pasted something from the announcement which would pique people's interest. I should have mentioned it.
Second, I totally think this is going to bring a new fairness to multiplayer games. At present, one of the most annoying and quick strategies to dominate a game is to just build a train line from one end of the map to the other. With CargoDist, they're going to have to have a need for going across the map. I also think it will increase overall utilization of road vehicles, which is important to me.
At present, few players utilize the subsidies. I think with CargoDist being the rule of the day, many people will be forced to in order to make up for shortfalls caused by no longer being able to just build super-long train lines.
Ronald Reagan was a very bad president. He is directly responsible for the astronomical spread of AIDS. Are you aware that piece of shit never once uttered the word during his presidency? Let alone fund any search for a cure. He is burning in hell, and I'll kick him in the nuts when I get there.
You are conveniently forgetting the entire history of the labor movement. This movement is the reason the 8-hour day is standard, there is a minimum wage, you get a break now and then, your 7 year old son is exempt from working, and other things. People fought for these rights, and more than one died in prison acting on your behalf, long before you were even born, I'll wager. So have a bit more respect for "unions," and reserve your attacks for those that deserve them, such as teachers' unions, which, you are correct, are showing no regard for the rights of CHILDREN.
Since when are nerds only interested in computers/electronics? I would consider Ben Franklin one of the alpha-nerds of America, and for the most part he used no electronic devices.
I thought everyone else on here would feel like me, and that's that school was a goddamn bad and nefarious joke after the 6th grade or so. I muscled through it because I've always understood that you have to play by the rules to an extent, you have to do a certain number of things to keep the system satisfied with you or you'll lose out in some major way or another. EG, had I not graduated, it might have been a lot harder to get into the school I'm now attending. Still, though, the fact that all these educators who were such fucking rank-and-file, stick-close-to-curriculum (party line, that is, in Mass.) bullshitters earned such a great living doing it... it really opened my eyes to exactly how fucked this world is. I think the goal of the education system should be to get kids to want to seek knowledge on their own. Any teacher who doesn't do that is failing. All of the teachers in my school career who did that? They were way before high school. High school is a bad joke, I'm sorry. Elementary school is where the most money should be spent, if you ask me. And I think there should be a lot - a lot - more technology instruction at that level. I think kids who show aptitude in technology and science should be given the tools, no matter their background, to continue to succeed in those fields -- if it interests them enough to fill out these forms and do these steps. Later it leads to internships? Imagine if they had something like that when we were going to school, 20-somethings. Think of where we'd be.
n-ice.org server #9 is fun. The goal is reasonable, 35 million. The game starts in the 30s, so it's harder for anyone to get a crazy advantage on you. Just saying, if anyone wanted to try it online for the first time, there's 4 on this server at present.
Slashdot Mirror
He could have used colors, roll-over links, and other stuff, and still make his point, I think.
Better answer: http://my.opera.com/chooseoper... ;)
Well, when it's important, the best idea is to use percentages, or has it been too long since I wrote any CSS?

I mean, there are some people who are good at both. And those people should be consulted on where the two mindsets meet and contradict.
I would like to know how Opera makes money.
Or write a plugin, lazy bitches, wtf.

I agree. Shitty websites often have beautiful, expensive designs.
Slashdot has a "professional art director"?
This troll is genius.
Or, someone should develop something like pdf which is more lightweight and easier to navigate.
I don't know that they should know, but they could at least be willing to find out before bitching about it?

And if you had paid attention in life, you'd realize it's more honest to troll with a username.
They're people too.
@mraeormg I use it in Ubuntu and I've never had a need for full-screen mode. But anyway, have you submitted a bug report?

Just my thoughts.

That's too bad. Doesn't make me feel guilty for loving this game, though.
