Here we are: proof positive that msmash is illiterate.
Imagine CmdrTaco replying to a comment with something this incoherent. Shame how far this site has fallen.
Being demonitized is absolutely not the same as being shut down. In fact, nonmonetized videos are more true and pure, coming from the mind and the heart. Google doesn't owe you money, and the very concept of "monetization" is venal and corrupt.
Love Canal was a perpetual source of interest for me ten years ago and I did my homework. The Niagara Falls school district bears as much if not more responsibility than Hooker Chemical.
At least namedrop something more like Bhopal or Times Beach. And go look up Love Canal on Wikipedia. It's an accurate encyclopedic article on the matter, and additionally it informed me of the unforeseen consequences of building the LaSalle Expressway on the old railroad right-of-way at the southern edge of the neighborhood, something I never even considered when writing those papers back as a teenager.
The person you replied to was talking about gun laws in Massachusetts. You're talking about gun sales in the United States of America as a whole, completely ignoring state-level differences.
If you don't see the obvious, slap-you-in-the-face error here, then you should trust that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. If you are indeed a United States citizen, which I heavily doubt, you're a fool.
Pick another topic to try to sound smart about.
Don't worry, our generation is actually too broke to afford big things. Those ads are geared as much to Daddy's wallet as they are to their debt-ridden and/or wage-slave Millenial adult children. No parent wants to see *their* kid fall down the class ladder, but there's limited vacancy.
Ads gained to, and only to, Millenials services enerally spun towards the value and frugality angle, or are ads for debt-rescue or higher education (especially for-profit universities, since this generation is still full of suckers who think degrees are worth anything more than the paper they're printed on) or other financial services or products.
The Millennial generation is headed towards poverty, and we know it. As far as ads for teenagers go, teenagers aren't Millenials. They're the children of the young end of Generation X.
Last time I checked, software doesn't go bad with age. I still have a computer running Windows 95 and Office 97, and it does what I want it to do just fine.
What you said sounds vaguely similar to a recent Slashdot post about retroviruses. Unfortunately, all you've demonstrated is poor reading comprehension. You have no idea what you're talking about, and throwing around jargon doesn't make you make sense.
Of course, it sounds brilliant to the Slashbot crowd.
Apparently, that includes Muslims. See, if a nerd screams all the right shibboleths of the damn-right armchair general crowd, that makes him a badass too. Even if he doesn't get laid.
Antipsychotic drugs work by (typically) blocking dopamine D2 receptors. (Parkinson's drugs work the opposite way, by activating D2 receptors.) This seems to be similar to the phenomenon reported above.
The ramifications of this, I leave to you.

KDE 4.0 RC 1 Released
·
· Score: 3, Insightful
Oh come on, remember how this works.
In today's Free Software projects, we've learned how to develop as professionals and deliver product on time instead of when it's donewhen we feel like it. How do we accomplish this? Simple. We pick a date and when that date hits we freeze the code, bugs and all! We pick what bugs we really want to fix, even though it's obvious from the Bugzilla it's riddled with bugs of all kinds. The bugs we pick are deemed "crucial" after careful deliberation via a mailinglist flamewar full of nerds. After we fix, say, half of these, we ship the release and let the distributions break it with all sorts of patches. We continue pushing out new features disguised as bugfixes, which take approximately an eternity to trickle down to the end-users (we write for the distributors, God forbid we make it easy for end users, they might hurt themselves). Debian especially, never content to just let shit be, applies ten thousand patches that turn KDE into a desktop environment almost but not entirely unlike a regular KDE install. Eventually it approaches stability and polish, but somehow it always manages to pull back when someone decides to add new glitz.
Notice to Free Software developers: Why not code in mind for the UNIX nerd in the Terminal content to./configure && make && make install shit? The distributors will patch the piss out of your code anyway. See this [kde-buildsystem] mailing list post if you want to know what I'm talking about. Thank Christ the reply I linked to was written by someone with a grasp of reality.
As for me, right now, I'm on Windows 2000 and loving it. My ThinkPad T21 has a no-Linux policy mainly because the kernel pukes when it talks to the hardware, but even after I fix that (in a no-GUI boot which you Ubuntards wouldn't understand), I find myself using an OS exactly as this comment describes.
I'll come back to GNU/Linux when GNU gets its shit together and glues its compnents together into an actual GNU system; Linux developers write competent, consistent and standardized userland tools and APIs; and distributors/GNOME developers (they're the same thing at this point) stop writing castrated crucial components like safety scissors a la NetworkManager. Modern GNU/Linux distributions are like houses of cards.
Despite all of this, I love KDE with all my heart and I wish I could try KDE 4. I miss Unix. However, I don't miss the current state of affairs in userland 'N*X, especially Ubuntu. Until I find a solid distribution I can actually use to its full potential (besides Slackware), I'll resist temptation and stay far away.
Just because mathematicians are all so schizoid it's uncomfortable to hang around them doesn't mean they're the only geniuses on a college campus. In fact, perhaps their failure to understand anything more "real" than the most abstract of the abstract is a weakness.
Yeah, Christ, tell me about it.
I'm autistic. I figured out how to "see in color", going with this analogy. It's a lot more fun this way. Trust me. This doesn't make me any less of who I am, in fact, it rounds me out a bit more.
It's pretty fun being able to walk into a room and immediately see what's on everyone's mind and who stands where on the totem pole. Well, it's normal now, but it was interesting in and of itself at first at least.
Okay, Crossfire's purpose to attract viewers, who will then view the advertisement spots CNN sold. Welcome to HOW TELEVISION STATIONS MAKE MONEY.
Sorry, also, but if you call Fox News "...not a sensationalistic joke", I have a hard time taking you seriously. Also, the money shot here is "just as bad or worse because its prupose is to bring right-wing views and opinions to the people". What is so wrong with that? It is no more different than left-leaning reporting, or socialist reporting, or anarcho-syndicalist reporting, or any other kind of reporting.
I really don't understand the point of your message. It starts with a pot shot against Ted Turner, because apparently television stations shouldn't be allowed to rake in enough profit to keep running, instead they should magicially fund themselves off of the mother earth goddess or something. Then you take a gratuitous shot against Fox News, which you then inexplicably call "not sensationalistic" (seriously, please explain that) and follow with a predictable shot against the evil right wing.
Well, if capitalism means "protect big business by pumping public funds into giant government-protected businesses", then I'm 100% against it.
Bush is not anywhere close to a laissez-faire type, but he sure does dig the corporate welfare garbage.

CNN Cancels Crossfire

Was Carlson's personality something taht anyone could market though? Was he presented as an asshole to make it so that people from "the left" would watch to hope he gets his ass handed to him?
I wouldn't be surprised. Crossfire is not a political analysis or debate show. It's a performance show. It's entertainment. Civil, objective and rational debate is not the point of Crossfire.
Civil debate is great and all, but it's not entertainment. It's not exciting. It doesn't reach out to you, Joe Viewer, and grab you. It doesn't have you on the edge of your seat. It simply doesn't make Great Television.
People watch Crossfire for the personalities and the performance. It's as much as a performing art as anything else. It's essentially the performance art of rhetoric. And it's quite entertaining.
That's why I listen to Rush Limbaugh, after all. I may disagree with half the things he says, but I'm still a dittohead. He's one hell of a broadcaster.

Eh, their first problem has always been the Shi'a.

Not only that, but every version's supposed to be even better, yet it just gets even slower and more confusing, and takes up more space doing it.
...you could, uh, just charge it.
A clitoris?
And high UID. Mod down and go on your way. Plus, the dent is marginal compared to an old-school (pah) GNAA crapflood.
That's quite possibly the most absurd head-in-the-sand bullshit I've ever heard.
