Some people like flying. And some people like open source too! I think IMHO it's a very unfair comparison. Each one has its pros and cons. For some guy printer drivers might be more important than having a stable computing environment that does not get attacked by malware/ spyware and crap.
I just think especially typing speed might improve. I know there are a lot of people that type like machines, but if I can say do database queries just by thinking what I want and the interface between my brain and computer can translate that into accurate commands, then it will surely be faster.But I suppose one might run into the same problems as with Speech recognition. "select star from you sirs where you surname like mista self distract" No, you freakin stupid pc. hmm.sex..beer... No, don't type that! Or imagine "dictating" an e-mail just by thinking. "I gave the report to Mary..boy, I'd like to get into her panties.. Anyway, and she forwarded the report...blah blah.."
I believe that my dad's shitty parenting skills made me sucessful. I am trying everything possible to not live my life like his and to not be like him. So, instead of the loser that treated me worse than a dog, I am actually working very hard to prove to myself that I am not a loser and that I am not as bad as he made me out to be.Unfortunately there is some character traits, like his bad temper, that shines through every now and then.It's difficult to fight that and I am not sure if it's because of prolonged exposure to him or genetic. It's the same with my girlfriend. She is also succesful because she tries her best to prove her dad wrong. So, if you want your kid to grow up ok, treat him/her like shit and they'll be alright! *I think*
Where's my GUI for vi, dammit?! No, seriously. Using shortcuts or working on CLI is far superior to any mouse-driven GUI in my opinion. I just wish there was something even better. Am I the only person that REALLY would not mind having a direct neural interface jack behind my ear or in my back? (See brain-computer interface on Wiki). I must dream about that at least once a month while typing or navigating. If there was a way for me to have direct comms between my brain and the computer it would be so sweet. I only have 2 worries. 1 is obsolete interfaces. All the old people will walk around with parralel or serial connectors, the middle-age people USB and the kids will have firewire. With the advances in technology most people will wait to see what the next big thing is. The second worry is worms/viruses etc when using my Windows laptop to check mail. I'd rather use my mouse for that.
Hmmm. I believe what you experienced was not a hypnotic experience, but a bad dream. Any good dream analyst and interpreter will tell you that the meaning behind your vivid hypnotic-like nightmare means something like the following: You have a fear of open-source and despite your mental protest, you still want to participate in what you view as a frightening experience. He forced his cock into my mouth In your dream you realised that the masters of open source are the only ones that can shut your mouth. my mouth seemed almost eager to.. Your mind actually accepted the correction and your mouth started to evalgelize the truth behind open source. But , due to your incompetence, you still could not get to grips with the freedom of Open Source.This was only the start That was only the start as Open source continued to rape you mentally because you could not see the full potential. You also mention anal (getting screwed from behind where you cannot see the (open)source of your discomfort) and jerk-offs (lending a hand to contribute to the development of OSS). All of this was taped and traded amongst my master's friends. This is the best part because this is the part in your dream where you realise that it was clear to everyone that you made an ass of yourself and will never accept OSS and the entire Open source community is laughing at you. I hope that clears it up.
I wish they could just take some of our sunlight here in Africa and reflect it there.It's strange how man always try to control the world instead of accepting and adapting. It's got its pros and cons. Just like doing the opposite of course. I mean, imagine channeling some water or snow to the desert areas. It might make deserts habitable and pleasant to live in , but will also destroy entire eco-systems. But this idea for a small circle of sunlight sounds very nice, but definitely not worth the cost!
I agree. Man needs a god like a fish needs a bicycle. My theory however is that we are all gods. The mind is very powerful and we can create our own reality. If you believe in example: A big yellow duck in the sky and this duck will sometimes grant your wishes if your faith in it is strong enough then it will gain power in your mind. And so you will put more and more faith in your big yellow duck. If it lets you down (maybe due to your own doubt or unfocused ideals) then you will just consider it as a test. Anyway. I find the whole thing about religion so blind. We know the universe is about 13.7 billion years old,right? We know that the universe is expanding.We also know that the universe is much bigger than just an earth and a heaven. So, why do so many people still just blindly accept what the churches tell them. And why do churches make so much money? It's a great industry. You sell hope. And people are willing to pay for that. And the poorer they are , the more faith they will have and the more they will pay for hope.
1. I can't stand the name Mandriva either! It sounds like a cheap car from India. 2. Hmm. I like the black background on this article. I was expecting yellow or purple for some reason. 3. Once you go Slack, you'll never go back!
I don't know - Mandriva/Mandrake lost me when it turned from an easy-to-use, quick-installing redhat clone into a Windows wannabe, "you suck so let me make everything nice and clicky-easy" distro. Slackware still rocks my world.Well, except for that god-awful xorg.conf. I mean, Xconfigurator was a newbies nightmare, but an advanced users friend. You could go through it in 10 seconds flat if you knew your definitions. With Mandrake you let drakconf and it's buddies do everything for you and then you have to go and hand-hack it later anyway.
So, the device sensitive enough to measure it consists of a laser doohicky and some 2000 ft tubes? And people still wonder how nano-technology could be usefull...
Fed1: Let's see, we can go after any one of these 3 guys. Fed2: What cool stuff do they have? Fed1: Well, this one guy has a bike and a couple of laptops.The other one has a BMW and a couple of ipods and the other guy a Toyota and a house. Fed2: Hmm. That's a difficult one. I'd say,lets go after guy number 2 with the BMW and we keep quiet about the ipods and pocket them. In a month it will blow over and my wife can drive the BMW. Fed1: But I want a bike! Fed2: Focus pinky!
Mind over matter dude! If you don't mind, it doesn't matter! And having a wife / gf/so is nice for the sex, mental stimulation, companionship etc.. but what they don't tell you about is the constant complaining, moaning, bitching , putting on weight, then sleeping around when you're not interested anymore, trying to control you etc. I'll take your pizzas and alpha's anyday.

I agree with you ,but I hear this Jesus guy will save anything or anyone.
So , maybe Jesus will save Linux Desktop tips.
I am not afraid to post this NOT as a AC.
How the FUCK is this news for nerds OR stuff that matters???

It's been proven with sex.

You win the palindrome UID prize! Congrats! You can pick up your toyota at any dealer now. Second prize is two toyotas!
Oh, there goes the poor south African IOL webserver.
And this is the best article for nerds at the moment???
ok
Oh no, here come the black helli
High availability is NEVER as highly available as on paper...
*sob*
My G/f likes the firefox extention that makes it 4 inches longer.
And this just after news about how the US is cutting down on NASA's budget and missions like this..
Ahem... I'm waiting for my dollar.
I'm gonna go look for a new phone in the meantime.
ONE Million dollars is not that much anymore.
Rather ask for TWO million dollars!!
mhuuwhaahaaha
That will only leave you with an 8 million loss.

3 things about this and a little bit more:
1. I can't stand the name Mandriva either! It sounds like a cheap car from India.
2. Hmm. I like the black background on this article. I was expecting yellow or purple for some reason.
3. Once you go Slack, you'll never go back!

Everything was all cool and peachy until I read the bit about the woman that became one with the couch. Damn!
Are you guys sure it really is Google Desktop 20051101-en ?
Fed1: Let's see, we can go after any one of these 3 guys.
Fed2: What cool stuff do they have?
Fed1: Well, this one guy has a bike and a couple of laptops.The other one has a BMW and a couple of ipods and the other guy a Toyota and a house.
Fed2: Hmm. That's a difficult one. I'd say,lets go after guy number 2 with the BMW and we keep quiet about the ipods and pocket them. In a month it will blow over and my wife can drive the BMW.
Fed1: But I want a bike!
Fed2: Focus pinky!
Mind over matter dude! /so is nice for the sex, mental stimulation, companionship etc.. but what they don't tell you about is the constant complaining, moaning, bitching , putting on weight, then sleeping around when you're not interested anymore, trying to control you etc. I'll take your pizzas and alpha's anyday.
If you don't mind, it doesn't matter!
And having a wife / gf
