Just a note, Windows 2000 GUI crashes an average of 6 times every 6 hours in my experience,
Nice math their buddy, that is called once an hour....
Granted I had Windows 2000 core dump on me ~10-12 times yesterday (w00t) and another good 3 or 4 unexplained crashes, but that is all because I have managed to fuck up the DirectX sub layer to hell and well, err, heh;
when it IS running properly (which it will be as soon as I manage to find the install disks. ^_^ ) it has very long uptimes, though it is awfully dependent on what you are doing. After the first 3 or 4 hundred program installs/uninstalls things to tend to, err, get a bit cluttered, heh.
Then again I would like to see you do that many program installs in as short a time on a *nix box.:-D
Bah, what am I saying, dependencies suck period, no matter what OS you are on.:(
Oh, and the *nixs DO have a shitty ass GUI system, seriously, there needs to be a BIG effort to ditch X and get a real system underneath that, technology has advanced a lot in the intervening years since X came out, hell, just the pure CS theory stuff has advanced a good deal, for crying out loud, come up with a better system. Or at least a more coherent one. It has taken MS how long and how many revisions/API changes to get even a/somewhat/ understandable API running underneath things? Hell, if even MS can admit that GUI APIs are a not going to be gotten right the first time, certainly the OpenSource community can admit to the same thing and do it again until it IS gotten right. Yes it would be a lot of work, but it would be worth it. (and had somebody started back in 1999 or so it might be nearly complete by now....)
Why the HOLY FUCKING HELL are we selling them shit? Right after the USSR went down the tube and the nuke threat was gone we should have bombed the living hell out of them, but noooo, we let the largest single nation population density REMAIN communist (who's bright fucking idea was that one?) and/then/ we go about and start selling them crap.
Now I mean if we where, say, err, taking over their culture and flooding it with American ideas and propaganda, then sure, hey, why not;
but nope, we are just supplying their economy with assloads of money, NOT helping the majority of their people very much at all (from/ass/ end poor to merely ass end poor isn't much of an improvement), and we ARE helping their elite communist class get even richer and more entrenched in power (ugh);
and then we go and start selling them high tech shit.
China will have a strong economy if they have a successful business sector,
Somebody mind explaining to me exactly WHAT a commie country is even DOING with currency? I can understand for international trade, but, err, I mean, uhhh, communists aren't SUPPOSED to have money last time I checked. . . . (or at least in any of the econ courses I have been in. . ..)
Nobody has been able to explain this one to me yet, rather strange actualy. Heh.
this is exactly why Karma is now reported generally. This and the phenomenon of capped users complaining that they're dropped to 48 karma with a +5 post that is lowered 2 points afterward.
I didn't bitch much about that, more of making sure I stayed safely above 25 karma so as to keep my +1 Bonus of Kickassness!
It's a Good Thing(tm) and I bet it will deflate the karma issue just as changing story ids from initiating at 1 for each story deflated the first post madness (not that the fp'ers have gone away, it's just a lot less important to most people what sequence number their post "gets").
Uh bull shit;
most/. readers tend to be a little bit, err, fanticaly devoted to the mathmatical arts.
And you see, we LIKE keeping track of meaningless numbers. For one thing it tells how close I am to getting my +1 rights removed so I knwo when exactly to stop telling as many people to Go Fuck Themselves quite so often and ease up on the language a bit;
besides I get to (used to get to?) do nifty statistical analysis on the numbers (in my head of course, not gonna spend time to write anything down, yeesh) and figure some shtuff out;
such as if I made a net karma Gain or Loss from posting a pro-MS post. So far in the past I have seen strong chances of me getting a net moderation UP after a thread then down, rather cool actualy.:-P
For example, I've got my email address above, and I get well over a hundred pieces of spam a day. SpamAssassin tackles most of those, but I still have to tackle several per day.
I had my e-mail address without any sort of spamblocks in it up on/. for around two or three months and recieved all of MAYBE a dozen pieces of spam.
Then again in the 3 years preceeding that that account had gotten all of three or four pieces of spam (me the paranoid little freakazoid, heh), so, yah it was an increase. ^_^
I'm also not proposing it for the entire populace. I was speaking mainly of the massive complexes as way to house livestock and crops not people. I also left out that orbital platforms would make a nice option for more space for livestock/crops. This gives us the entire room of space itself for production.
Heh, yah right. FAAAAR more money to be made by making condos 'exclusive must have' things and selling'em off at 10x (or higher. . . . ) the price that would be possible if they where mere commodity items used for storage and such.
Remember, capitolism and greed, easiest path and all that.
2) Get laid. Get so good at it that you can walk into any social situation and walk out with someone you just met.
Or how about;
Become more then a self-righteous shallow prick who thinks with his prick and learn that there are a lot better things in life to pursue then a temporary fling.
According to the First Amendment, neither you nor anyone else decides whether it's worth selling or whether it's really "music".
First Amendment was written in times when people did not go spewing out dog shit from their mouths and call it art.
I SERIOUSLY doubt that any of the drafters of the constitution EVER dreamed of the type of vile crap we have today.
The first amendment is in there to protect freedom of speech so as to keep the government from getting out of hand and to keep Really Really Rich Guys from being able to screw over the little guy quite so often.
(actually darn nearly ALL of the constitution deals with those issues, I don't see a single thing in there about the rights of death metal bands....)
There is a fine line between art and vulgarity.
My opinion is that when the person doesn't have any musical talent as hitherto defined by, err, uh, anybody, ever, then, well, shit, ain't really music. I mean you can't DANCE to it, you can't SING to it, and the 'performers' can't sing or dance either. All they do is spew garbage into a mic really really fast and loud.
You want me to defend freedom of information? Sure I am all up for that. Freedom of expression? hey no problem, you got an idea, you thought about it, you got the right to express it.
Want me to defend some assholes right to thoughtlessly scream and rant all day and start shout'in about how to rape somebody?
Nope, fuck'off bud. Death metal / hardcore rap ain't done a thing to progress the sciences, they are irrelevant as far as I am concerned. Science wouldn't be harmed one bit by their removal, and that is/my/ criteria for censorship.
I'm sorry, I haven't HEARD any music made since the 80's.
(well except for the occasional work of Enya that doesn't suck and a few oddlot musicans, most of whom aren't popular worth a crap in mainstream anyways).
Deathmetal and hard core rap SHOULD be banned, there is NOTHING artistic about yelling into a mic about how you want to rip somebodies head off and rape their body (death metal) or shove a gun up somebodies ass and start firing it off (hardcore rap).
That is just pure plain filth and it is an insult to REAL musicians that it is allowed to be made at all. (actualy it is closer to an insult to the human race that somebody who claims to be human could/make/ such garbage)
And I guess this is true. I'd say a good amount of people play/played video games throughout their life, and I'm pretty sure they're not any dumber.
Far from it, I learned to read thanks to video games.
Started off first good half of 1st grade in lowest reading level, got Final Fantasy 1 for my NES, and the Strategy Guide (when Strategy Guides where worth buying. . ..) and I finished 1st grade with a 5th grade reading level.
Spelling still sucked (still does in fact. ^_^ ) but hey, video games definantly made me smarter.
Right now I'm loosing 1-2lbs per week on a traditional low fat moderate exersize diet. Nothing special, just eating healther and in moderation. I've been doing this for six months now without problem.
I am losing 1-2lbs a year on a high fat moderate exercice diet.
I/KNOW/ I can keep this one up for ages (err, eat whatever the fuck I want to and save assloads of gas money by biking to campus/work. w00t).
You gotta choose your fights man, shoot, can you really keep that up forever?:^)
My legs keep on going from flabby to non-flabby to flabby to non-flabby, hehe. Oscillators!
And next election, if Al is running again, remember that his cold bitch of a wife put those fucking parental advisory stickers on CD's
Which was a damn fine compromise with the extremist moral right who would easily have prefered to either outlaw 'those' CDs altogether or (though thankfully I did not hear any proposals for this) setup some sort of censorship board like Australia has.
Agricultural science and production, medical science, social science, materials science......all of them have risen to match what humanity required of them.
Listen, dude, I am a fan of Science in all, trust me, VERY devoted fan of it, genetic engineering and the whole bunch style fan of it, fuck, I wouldn't mind a few extra limbs and I wouldn't see anything(much) wrong with it;
but uh-uh. Science is a TOOL, it is up to PEOPLE to/decide/ if that tool is worth using or not.
Quite frankly being cooped like rabbits in hatches in massive apartment complexes with children running around on pseudo-grass is NOT my idea of a good future for the species.
Do not confuse tools with common sense, and do not confuse the tools necessary to build a proper solution with the solution itself.
Besides, sometimes the old fashion ways are the best, and not f*cking everything in sight ain't exactly new tech.
Look at the french, who I personally despise, but their population is steadily decreasing...
Thus, the entire troll moniker. You gotta learn how to make fun of the french in style.
(not that they'd know anything about style but. . ..)
I would much rather be free to do what I wish, and screw over some low lifes in another country.
Ahh, it is not about legal laws, it is about moral and ethical codes. Your moral code allows you to fuck people over who are on the other side of the earth, thus the 'dipshit' moniker.
I believe in devotion if life to doing that which is best for all; efficiency and all that.
Well minus the veggie thing, vegetarians suck. A lot. I like meat damnit. My one vice.:P
And why do you have a right to impose your view of life on others? And aren't you quite arrogant to assume that your view is "correct" and should be imposed?
People who have excess amounts of childern are forcing THEIR world view of "I am better then you are I don't give a shit if the world goes to hell I am going to have loads of little brats so HAH!" on everybody else. . .
Even if he is 'for real' (and by that I mean not trolling, he is STILL a dipshit), heck folks, do the math.
More People, Less Resources, End result; well shit, that sucks.
Simple, eh?
The best way to go about and do things is to curb population growth (1 child per TWO PEOPLE, if you have your one child with a partner and then switch parteners, TOO BAD) for EVERYBODY in the whole world, and saying fuck it to human rights, forced sterilization after the first kid pops out.
Of course some people will bitch "well what if the child dies??"
Well too bad, just means the population will drop faster then expected, and that is a good thing.
I am/SO/ going to go postal if I see one more damn Condo being shitted together in this city, yeesh! Those things look horrid and ARE horrid. Same with MiniVans, ick.

Communism sucks, but thats their problem, not ours.
