Yes, that works great in clear skies with no traffic. Would autopilot be able to pull off an emergency landing in the Hudson after multiple bird strikes though?
The car in front (or 2 in front I dunno 'cause I was looking down) of me had left a gap for someone coming out of a parking lot to cross all the lanes to get to a U-turn lane in the median (a 4th lane). The 3rd lane (left of me) had cleared quite a bit, so someone in a truck pulling a trailer was going rather quickly past all the stopped cars in the other 2 lanes. The SUV pulled through my lane into the 3rd lane just in time to get T-boned
This is why being polite in traffic is actually quite impolite and dangerous. If you have right of way, take it. You don't know what other people are going to need to do. Let them worry about it when it's their turn to go.
My mom and dad were coming home this weekend (separately, on their own motorcycles) when someone drove through a stop sign. My dad was barely able to avoid being hit, however my mom was not so lucky. Stop signs exist for a reason
I've found XFCE to be full of annoyances. e.g. You can't disable the trash. You need to hit a special hotkey to permanently delete something. Similarly, you need to hit a special hotkey to copy from XFCE's terminal program. This would all be OK, if it were easily fixed with some configuration. But it's not.
Really, I just use Fluxbox and RXVT most of the time. EmelFM2 when I need a GUI file manager. What else do you really need your desktop to do?
Embezzle as much as you can from your current employer. You'll end up in a minimum security federal prison. You get three hots and a cot, plus free health care. There's a gym and a library. It's probably better than you'll get in your retirement. Our country is more willing to spend money on its criminals than its elders, might as well take advantage of that.
The young male demographic has already adopted tech, so adoption will be low. New technology will be targeted at people who haven't adopted tech yet, because those markets aren't as saturated and competetive. It was bound to happen in a maturing industry. Young males still use more tech then females though.
Honestly, I couldn't really give a shit. The authors are the ones who should care about their work disappearing from history. If there's anything actually worthwhile locked up in flash, someone will reverse engineer it and create a flash emulator just like they've done for so many consoles.
But the other two are on network television, and I'm not sure why a person would bother pirating that when there are almost certainly more legitimate ways to access it
Because I can add it to my RSS feed, have it automatically downloaded to a network share, and access it through my XBMC setup. I don't have to check the schedule for air times. I don't have to be free at the same time as it airs. I don't have to pop open a browser to view it. And I don't have to wade through commercials.
How much demand for that is there going to be when only 0.1% of the population produces anything? Can a thousand people in a factory actually use the creative output of a million people?
Capitalism does not NEED to have this problem, as long as all participants are self-determining, self-interested, rational actors.
Assuming all those things, how would capitalism solve this problem? If you only need the labor of 1/10th of 1 percent of the population to support the entire population, how does the other 99.9% earn their keep?
The only answer is by encouraging people to buy things they don't need. But that just means people need to work more to buy things they don't need. Which destroys the whole point of increasing efficiency in the first place.
No, actually. If you read my original post I'm conceding that the conservative position on at least this issue is correct. Take the olive branch for once.

So do seatbelts. Oh wait...

Why would a single hardware provider be worse than a single software provider?
A single hardware provider can run into supply chain issues.
Why didn't they just hire Jerry Seinfeld?
They probably would have made more money if they put it on kickstarter.

Despite your dig at the command line, it really doesn't get any simpler than 'ssh -X remotehost remoteapp'.
It's really time for the kernel guys to take another look at OSS4. Fully GPL compatible, it belongs in the kernel.
Play some Steel Battalion and let me know. Better yet, try the controller with Mechwarrior 4 or Freespace 2 and let me know.
Do you realize how ridiculous you sound arguing about the "real" number of the beast?
The crazy thing is that most of those incredibly smart people doing those amazing things are just as stupid as the rest of us in other ways.
That shows the quality of coding that goes into /..

I recommend their authors port their work to a non-proprietary format, or resign their proprietary crap to the dustbins of history where it belongs.
Just use dwhelper and mplayer.

It's still indefensible. Trademarks are the proper legal paradigm to handle this kind of thing.
Why would that stop them? Head MPAA lobbyist Chris Dodd offered Obama a bribe on national TV and everyone took it as business as usual.

Which is already happening in the US.
