The gun is supposedly heavy. The body shields and the helmets are too. In the video I see dynamics of a Styrofoam toys. And it's not about this particular video. Now-days I see wrong dynamics in almost all of multi-million mega-busters too. In my time [insert a lengthy rant here]
Just poor miming skills on the part of the actors, although they kind of get a way with because its done in a video game "style". They could use something like Endorphin to add a bit of weight/dynamics to their movements though.
30% of all webservers? Sheesh, and folks wonder why Linux never gets anywhere. I mean here you have a company that sinks serious money into R&D and improvements to the ENTIRE Linux ecosystem, yet because there are so many Linux users that are "free as in beer!" you'd rather run your network on a hacked copy and risk getting screwed, like when CentOS nearly went tits up, than to actually spend a buck and help pay for your own OSes improvements by supporting the company making those improvements.
I'm sure I'll be modded down for daring to point out this sad little bit of reality, but you want to know why Linux is a blip on the map? Here you go. Companies rightfully see there is no money in Linux because FOSSies will go to great lengths not to pay even when it ultimately hurts themselves. Think RH did this change for fun? Nope, it is because you and so many others are slowly killing the company by refusing to buy the product but you want the fruits of their labor anyway.
Say what you want but THIS, this right here, is why the proprietary model wins out over the FOSS model. It is because companies that make good popular products actually get increased capital they can use to grow and expand, whereas with FOSS three minutes after it comes out someone is copying the code to make a cheap knockoff just to get out of paying. Kinda sad actually.
What a pointless, and trollish diatribe, the whole point of the Red Hat business model is that you don't really buy RHEL, you buy a RHEL support contract. People using CentOS are no different from people using debian, or any other "free as in beer" distro.
Whether Red Hat's business model is sustainable is up for debate, but at least they don't depend on statist copyright policies and software patents.
All right, I'll make you a deal. When I get cancer because some company knowingly dumped carcinogens in my drinking water for thirty years because it was more profitable than disposing of them properly, instead of suing, I'll just say to myself, "schwit1 might own some stock in this company, through his IRAs and mutual funds, and it really wouldn't be fair, after letting him profit from the same actions that gave me cancer, to then take some of that money back from him, because gosh darnit, he just doesn't have the time to make sure these things don't happen!"
Now your just talking out of your ass, it should be obvious that shareholders are not privy to the day to day machinations of upper management, they often have little to go on deeper than whether they have vertical or horizontal pinstripes on their suit. They have even less knowledge of the lower ranks and shady distributors, how was the Fonterra shareholder supposed to dowse info on the melamine contaminated milk powder, time pending or otherwise?
The GP was talking about imaging the PC, not reinstalling, so your entire list is irrelevant, save the last entry. The last entry is easily solved with a fairly simple script, as the GP also pointed out.
GUIs may have some aesthetic appeal (aka "pretty pictures"), but they remain the slowest, clumsiest way to use a computer that we've yet developed.
Ridiculously untrue, particularly in the context of non-specialised, non-expert users.
I think you missed the "system administration" part, I don't think anyone is suggesting that graphic design turtle necks should be CLI-ing their illustrations.
Under what conditions does accelerated inequity appeal to the majority of a democratic population? And how long can you keep the descending majority from figuring out they have more to gain by repealing the obsolescence tax (which they actually pay) rather than the death tax (as aspirational indignity increasingly far from reach)?
A large minority of people are grovelling sycophants waiting to throw their fellow man under a bus, all in the hope that they can be a part of that wealthy one percent. Add in the strategic bigots, and you have a majority.
but show me another laptop that put automatic backlit keyboards on their laptops before Apple, an easy to navigate and logically organized mp3 player, a single piece chassis and case laptop, a magnetically attached power cord, or a laptop 19 mm thick (macbook air).
Wow, those are fucking amazing, those are right up there with the mouse, the bit-mapped display, the graphical user interface, and Ethernet.
So they want us to save them from the big bad dictator but they don't want us to stick around so another big bad dictator can't come into power?
You can't have it both ways.
I suppose you've forgotten about Ngo Dinh Diem, Fulgencio Batista, Augusto Pinochet and so on, US interventionism doesn't prevent dictatorships, it creates them.
You must have some interesting limits on your definition of majority. Considering you aren't bounding yourself to a discussion of reality, you should have just gone all in with the insults and said:
"An opinion is like an asshole, and so are you."
Or "An opinion is like an asshole, everyone has one, but no one wants to hear it."

Hemp grown for fiber does not contain enough THC to get a fly high.
The article states that it contains around 0.3% THC. I'm sure if you collected up a say an ounce of industrial hemp buds, performed an solvent extraction, and smoked the results, you would be high. People use similar methods to use up the "cabbage" leaf material from the plant.
Python with static types sounds a lot like Cython to me, which can compile/generate (most) python code into C. You can also specify static types as you feel comfortable, and gain performance when you do.
But we don't have * too deeply to see that we are still and always will be sustained by (somewhat fragile) natural processes that are either impossible or difficult to control, direct or even predict.
Frankly, I have a lot of respect for those people who feel an emotional, tangible, and personified connection to life and the Earth as a whole. They may be flaky and sentimental by some estimations, but at least they have not cut themselves off from the natural world.
Exactly, a friend and I were discussing the merits of solar panels and he said: "but I'd rather not be at the mercy of nature", of course when I informed him that he already was, I was just getting semantic, but I can't help but feel that this is a very real perceptual disconnect that a lot of us (myself included) have developed, we feel that we have already moved beyond the "natural" world, and are no longer at it's "mercy". But we don't have too deeply to see that we are still and always will be sustained by (somewhat fragile) natural processes that are either impossible or difficult to control, direct or even predict.
People who like to think they are 'green' , often try to imbue inanimate objects with living traits. It is pretty sad they have no real concepts about the most basic issues. Sure, there are some lifeforms on Earth, but that does not make the planet living, it is merely dynamic.
People who I like to think are 'red' !(complimentary to green), often like to lump disparate opinions and people together into a group, this way they can attack the weakest opinion of said group. It's pretty sad that they would rather spend their time doing this than addressing the real concerns held by the rational members of said group. Sure there are some lifeforms on earth, but who gives a fuck, we'll just argue semantics.
You can convert heat into energy? Whodda thunk it?
Actually you can only convert heat into energy if you also have a source of cold.
That's a very bizarre way to phrase it, but yeah, we can retrieve energy from a heat difference, but not heat itself. I'm sure everyone has heard of entropy.

People want to be in control of their lives, even if they're better off relinquishing control.
That's true only until the first iCar is released.

Do you use Vim macros to store your boilerplate insults in? It would probably save time in the long run.

The "organic food" people have reclaimed the word for a use which is closer to what it suggests: originating in the organs of a living thing.
In other words the neo-Luddite "organic food" people have rekindled vitalism.
I cal it the "Sid Meier's Civilization fallacy"
Incorrect, in Civilization strategically trading technologies is a key element of gameplay, I think you should rename it the AOE fallacy or something.

The only thing restrictive about Firewire which Apple might be guilty of is their ownership of the logo for it.
Not true.

Yeah it's much easier to probe holes digitally anyway.
