To each their own I guess. After using OSX for years I just noticed this setting after your post. Turning it off and on just alternates between colors (default and my background). I could see how it would be messy with a flashy background though. Good thing there is an option to turn it off I guess.
You actually think that laws to protect you from the government actually apply to you?
Well, speaking as a relatively wealthy white guy with a few political connections and at least a basic understanding legal procedures, I'd say yes. If I were, say, poor, black, or less connected, I'd probably be very very screwed if I were accused of something.
That just makes it more ingenious!
The attacker is sitting there going "Either these are made up names or he is just trying to make me think they are made up names to confuse me or he thinks that I will think he made up the names even though they are real names but he altered them slightly so I would think they were real or perhaps that is what he wants me to think."
Now my heard hurts.
The controversy really doesn't have anything to do with the psychological issues though.. it's that they're imprisoning people, torturing people, and harvesting organs.. not cool for any reason
Was this about FG or China? Both seem to fit this description.
Most of the streets in neighbourhoods are also very lightly used (hundreds of slow moving cars per day and not tens of thousands).
These quiet streets get just as much sunlight per square meter (substitute by your favorite unit of area) as the big highway a few miles further. No need to change the entire transportation network into a power plant at once, you can keep your heavy trucks on asphalt highways, and keep the solar panels in the suburbs where people drive slowly, and heavy trucks are barely ever seen at all.
Just a random thought on this point. I agree with it and would think it would work in theory. However, most quiet and neighborhood light traffic streets have vegetation (trees et al) which produce alot of shade. The more heavily trafficked roads (interstates/highways/etc) are (for the most part) in large open and unshaded areas. Thi of course is not universally true but I would imagine it is mostly true. Anyway, just something I was thinking about as I looked out my window on a quiet residential street on a sunny afternoon.
I hated it at first too but now I cannot live without it. I love being able to just type in a keyword from a page I was recently at and finding it again.
Just the other day I was looking at a recipe but closed the tab. I didn't bookmark it because it was a one time thing but unfortunately I forgot one of the ingredients. Being able to type in "tomato" and finding the recipe web page was so nice.
(BTW people actually bookmark porn? odd)
(And why is slashdot getting worse and worse? I had to manually put line breaks in. Actually who the hell knows how this will be formatted after I hit submit.)
You think that businesses give a shit about long term climate change? They* only care about quarterly profits.
*by They I meant large multinationals. I am sure there are those few that DO care about the long term.
Not to mention meth is becoming the drug of choice of the middle class so it would be hard pressed to find anywhere that is not a drug neighborhood. And I would much rather have hippie pot smoking neighbors over meth addicts.
Except that both our prisons and our hospitals (for the most part) are for profit. If you think that they would want to kill their golden goose by actually helping rather than harming society for another dollar then I would love to live in your gummy bear and lollipop world.
Ah, I see you have yet to learn the rest of the somewhat dangerous Furious Bomb of Distraction Technique.
First you must gather your Chi within yourself.
Then you must expel your Chi forcefully in a directed blast.
This is the Basic Furious Bomb of Distraction.
Only the True Master can realize the full potential of the Advanced Furious Bomb of Distraction.
Totally offtopic but honestly it is rare that I have even met anyone else with a Dreamcast system. What failed on yours? My system works fine but I have had 100% failure rate on the trigger buttons on the controllers. Sadly its getting harder and harder to find new controllers.:/
My handwriting is also getting worse. It was awful before and it is almost unreadable now unless I write very slowly. So it is just easier to type things out because I imagine I type at least 5x faster than I can handwrite.
As for spelling. I think it has actually gotten better due to not only typing but spelling and grammar nazis. So I guess I have found the one and only positive about them. Although I would assume 99% of people could give a shit what they say and ignore them.
It us unfortunate that we have come full circle and now have taxation without representation. Our children and our kids have no representation in congress, yet they get to inherit our bills.
I thought grinding was bad but grinding on a wiki. Ugh. The wonders of the internet will never cease. And by wonders I mean sad disappointing realities.

Not to knock your nick but pants are NOT optional on this mission!

Which category do you think Terry Childs fits in?

Nothing stops you from having pizza and beer with them after they are escorted off the premises.

I would also stare at a guy that was 4 inches at 3 feet.
Then take another picture instead of crudely photoshopping this one.
Quiet you! Now get in the Soylent Green grinder.

This will be the year of Linux on the ballot!

Attorney Hugh Jass declined to comment.
At least its not another god awful PG-13 comic book movie pushed on us as SciFi.
Maybe if sysadmins were armed? I bet no one would forget their passwords then! Well, only once anyway.

Yeah but we think of them. Just not fiscally.
