The real hypocrisy here is the country with the greatest number of nuclear weapons is insisting that other countries not attempt to get any for themselves. The number one reason Iran, North Korea, etc, want nuclear weapons is to defend themselves from US. If you don't want Iran to have a nuclear weapon, we need to divest ourselves of our own as quickly as possible.
After I got a harsh lesson in anti-white racism by getting my ass kicked for about the 10th time at said school, I realized that dad may not be so stupid after all and moved back with in him.
Whether he's stupid depends on how he interprets the situation. Are young black men more violent towards young white men because they're inherently violent because of genetics? Or do they simply learn that their roles aren't valued by society and take any chance they can to assert dominance, just like anyone of any race would do in their position?
The former is stupid and racist. The latter is smart and correct. Your experience, while possibly consistent with a racist interpretation can also be completely explained without racism. It's still stupid to be racist.
Nothing in copyright law or the DMCA suggests that anyone should suffer any sort of penalties for obeying DMCA notices. There is no limit on the number of DMCA notices you are allowed to obey in the DMCA. Where did this judge get the idea that the law requires this?
Luddites, or misers. I still can't find a cell phone plan that's cheaper than my land line. Given that I've lived 30 years without the need for a cell phone, I don't see the point in taking on extra expenses for no real benefit.
Right, but people who like cute mascot platformers already have a mainstream option. There's a reason there's no cute mascot platformer on Kickstarter. The Kickstarter audience has self-selected such that access to game pads or joysticks isn't going to be an issue for anyone.
You might as well complain that your local art house cinema doesn't show Pixar movies.
Wasteland, Day of the Tentacle, Leisure Suit Larry, these were all plenty successful without joystick support. They'll do just fine on the PC as well.
If anything, locking these people out of consoles is going to eat away at the console user base. Why would I buy a console when all the most thoughtfully designed games are happening on the PC?
I would love to see a new Al Lowe made LSL game. Why doesn't Al just start there? Everyone who wants to play a new LSL has played the old ones a dozen times, what's the point in doing remakes?
Please, show me an open source project that truly rivals Gmail. Do it. One that implements ALL of the features. Including collaborative antispam, Ajax, contacts, archiving. Come on.
Do one thing, do it well. If you do things the UNIX way, you can easily beat the features and convenience of Gmail.
And show me how DuckDuckGo's algorithms match Google's. Oh and where's the autocomplete?
Google's results are crappy these days. And I don't need help typing, thanks.
X11 doesn't give you network transparency for free
Can you actually demonstrate that network transparency is what slows X down? Every analysis I've seen points to heavy toolkits, which are going to be present on Wayland as well. As I understand it, X uses shared memory to communicate with clients on a local system, which is going to be as fast as anything else.
I've never seen any evidence supporting this notion that network transparency is inherently costly.
Still no charges for the agents who actually committed acts of torture. Waterboarding is just as wrong whether it's committed by us, or whether it's done to us. In either case, the torturer deserves the same fate.
If it's provided by the display server, you get network transparency for free. If you expect application developers to implement network transparency, it's going to be spotty at best. If you use 3rd party tools it doesn't integrate well at all.
We don't need several crappy ways to run apps over the network. We need one that "just works".
I can't deal with the lack of network transparency. Sure, you can run X on top of Wayland for now, but once people start writing Wayland only apps that's not going to be a viable way to work anymore.

Power is useful, nukes are useful, and if you have them it is illogical to renounce them unless you embrace abject submission to those who have them.
I assume you are in favor of Iran and North Korea developing nuclear weapons then? It would be illogical for either country to renounce them, correct?

I don't care if Al writes it in AGI. A new LSL game is worth more than any remake.
So, I guess anyone who wants to see Tyson's accurate night sky will go and see it...
I don't have to go to the movies to see an accurate night sky.

I'm hoping Jane learned her lesson. I have high hopes for her new project.

The question is what alternative is there for a curious person?
Once you have government, and law, and an economy, most people do not want to earn their living by risking being shot at.
And yet the US military employs about 3 million soldiers.
I thought it was fungus.
Great, then there's no reason not to make Wayland network transparent. If they'd do that, a lot of cynical bastards would shut the hell up.

Why can't we do this without losing important features? Features that actually do something useful instead of just look pretty?
Really? That's not any more complicated than 'ssh -X'? It works anywhere and everywhere, without any additional software.
What I can't figure out is why no overarching community has arisen among the 'conservative' linux users
I see what you did there.
Benefits include Compiz working much better by bypassing X.
Those who would surrender basic functionality for eye candy deserve neither.

Here's hoping Wayland flops.
Because it wasn't enough to crapify just the desktop environment.
