religious and non-religious zealots - I guess that includes everyone?
Just because someone freaks out over genetic (or cellular) modification doesn't mean they're out to get you or destroy the world. Relax - it takes time for people to get used to concepts and technologies that destroy their world-view, whether or not it's religious. Over time, I believe that most people will see these new medical technologies as good. There will always be naysayers, but without them who would keep the rest of us in check?
They should at least be labeled. Hmmm, you know you actually brought up a good point - cloning of humans would be the perfect solution for the small food supply of cannibal tribes (in cannibal society does the amount of food constantly decrease?).
Good. PC (I'm including Apple, Amiga, Atari, C64, etc) gaming existed before the "Windows market". It did fine then - and there were arguably better games (how many times have you slapped down $50 for a Windows-based PC game that sucked?) in those times. PC gaming will live on, with or without the Hollywood (oops - err Dallas err Redmond) glitz.
When you _have_ to work with closed systems and proprietary hardware/software - and those same systems are fairly expensive - you do want to use tech support. Also, when something goes wrong and it is obviously the vendor's fault, you want to call on the vendor to solve the problem - that's why you paid a few thousand for the stupid support license (that you were forced to by from them).
Not all support questions can or should be solved by the "books with black&white drawings of animals on the front covers."
I think that this is the same company. Worlds Chat was probably the name. I thought it was neat unless you took it beyond the proof-of-concept stage. But then, look at Everquest. Graphical chat with some things thrown in around for you to "do".
With RedHat 7.1 the level of security you have depends solely on what installation method you choose - workstation, laptop, server, or custom. Workstation and laptop are much more secure than any previous RedHat release - there is no inted.conf or too many extraneous services (you should always check those, though), unless you specify certain packages installed (ftp, finger, etc). That combined with the (apparently - just got the box delivered) easy install/setup of iptables (strict as default - especially with desktop/laptop install) makes this look much more appealing than all previous RedHats. That being said - there's probably something that they seriously fscked up on.
Why do people consider "gesturing" a good user interface? It adds more work to already tedious processes and completely ignores any strides made in UI regarding access for those with disabilities. Should we really be tied even more to the mouse?
I would like to know the benefit of having a non-visual work-intensive UI versus a visual efficient (less mouse movement and quick/hot-keys) UI.
I played Black & White and I couldn't play it for long because of the UI - if I had known it would be like that I wouldn't have bought it. I'm already dealing with RSI and don't feel like having to move my mouse in circular motions repeatedly.
I'm a "fan" of Ginsberg and especially Burroughs but I wouldn't call either of what they wrote philosphy. There might be philisophical tones in various shades throughout their works, though. Or maybe you're just reading too much into it.
Oh, come on give me a break. Okay, Queenie, what makes you the expert on science fiction and enlightenment? Somehow you think the Matrix is some sort of peek into true self-awareness that the unwashed masses aren't prepared for? Get over yourself and that piece of crap - the Matrix is nothing more than a castrated Hollywood special effects showcase with completely unoriginal concepts, lifeless characters, jr high stoner philosophy draped in psuedo-religious language and a oh-so sad disrespect for Eastern philisophical themes draped in easy-to-digest-and-sell-the-merchandising and plaguerized environmental settings.
Good, honest post, BUT, can I ask you a question? Can you name the type of software package that constantly brings in huge amounts of money and take up more shelf real-estate in computer/electronics stores than any other type of software?
Ah yes, Konsole - for me this is the killer app for KDE. Honestly - I love the configurability and the tabbed sessions.
I have to say, though. I bought B&W for Windows because I bought into the hype. It was the worst game I've ever bought and the interface takes too much work. I do not think that having to wave my mouse around in circular motions or crawling across the ground (that annoying grab-movement) is very fun either.
Do you even know anyone from China? There are a few people that I work with who are Chinese citizens and they happen to be the nicest people that I know.
Whoa. At the time I'm posting this, you have a score of 5. This is obviously a troll or at least a joke.
Speaking as an extreme-mad-as-hell-militant-not-your-daddys-bleed ing-heart liberal, I have to say that you are full of bullshit for linking some vandal with liberalism in general. Is it okay for me to think of all conservatives by my impressions of the morons from Texas that dragged that man on their truck? (btw, I'm native Texan - conservative capital of the world).
I'm really interested, why are you calling this vandal a liberal? He has nothing to do with me.

Who's forcing you to look at AOLer-Britney Spears pages? I don't think I've ever had one forced down my throat....

I get extremely sick of it myself. It mostly comes from elitist Debian users, of course.

I can't comment on the far right, but on the far left so-called "enemies of the state" don't exist. The enemy IS the state.
I'm all for touching one button instead of moving my arm around in unintuitive motions that just increase RSI risks.

Look here on eBay.

It's not a bad thing to empty your mind
Intel is one of the companies that takes seriously the things you do on your own time away from work.
A school doesn't have to be "4-year" to be accredited.

What makes you think the US spies more than anyone else? What do you base this on? Does the US spy less than the UK? Please ellaborate.
Nowhere does it say that they won't play MP3s.

I can:
Computer Games
That's serious business, IMHO.

I hate to use cliches - but it's appropriate.
