This is what the ad said: "VisionTek GeForce4 Ti4600 for Special Pre-Order Price of $129.00..the savings is a $200.00 Value"
Does that sound like a typo to you? Typo's don't usually go back and restate that you are saving the precise amount after doing typo math. If it was a typo wouldn't the savings value be something different? That's not a typo., It's an error somewhere else. Whether the error was in the management of giving this card away cheap, communication of how cheap to sell it, or what was to be sold etc, it just doesn't look like typo results to me.
I couldn't believe how ignorant the people were who responded to this.
What was arrogant about this guys post?
It's more like you true losers see someone who is actually deciding how they want to run their life, doing it, and then describing, and you immediately go into attack successful person mode. That's pathetic.
The thing about layoffs. Well my company is about to do a lot of layoffs. I established myself as a valuable member of our team, so my odds are a little low of getting laid off. It's not like we work in mills. It's true, no matter how good you are at pushing carpet around or how much the other workers like you, you might get laid off anyhow, but it's different when you are a key member to a companies money making department, or a companies stability, even if there are 30 of you. Your effort matters. Keep that attitude that your effort doesn't matter and see how good that does you.
That thing about the rabbit was pretty damn funny.
I can understand the need to get into some kind of perfect frame of location to go with your frame of mind, but the kind of stuff I program at work are simple straight forward network tools. It would be about as necessary for me to have the "zone" set by live strippers and James Brown to write network tools as it would for me to an LDAP search on an orphan in our Active Directory.
A lot of angles come into this as well. Some people really need to focus on something to be able to learn it. Some of us don't, we just read the syntax, try the code, try some sample code, and see how it works, then use it. Generally it comes back to how well you know your language I feel.
But then you have to work out a problem that is damn right crooked. There's no straightforward apporach to it, perhaps because it's never been done before(I haven't found a project like this yet). Or maybe you are just trying to code something and you aren't really looking for any help from those who have mastered it. So you crank up the legs on your lazy boy, get your Spinal Tap on the stereo, get 3 live llamas standing around you, yank out your prised microsoft split key keyboard that reduces yor typing speed by 60WPM, flip on your pride and joy 21 inch ultra barrel screen mitsubishi 12 year old monitor, and then you are finally ready to code gorilla.bas, without help of any kind. Just you, whats in your head, and maybe an old turbo basic book by Sams.
That's hentai. Not anime. You seem to be very mislead about anime. Not like I give a rats ass though.
So you think that linux will get worse as the user base grows? Or did you just want to waste a post attempting to be funny? yeah I thought it was a little funny, but usually making something funny ANd useful, is a little more respected.
why don't you just say: "perhaps we don't want anymore linux users"
Communities need to grow. No more users, no growth. If linux doesn't grow, it will either stay the same, or get smaller.
You appear to be interesed in being a part of a clique or something. I'm really into anime. One of my favorite anime's is Rurouni Kenshin. I watched all of the episodes again today, and even though it's incredibly popular now I didn't notice any degradation of the quality of the episodes. Honestly I don't see the the connection between high popularity and low quality, unless you are either greedy, stupid, arrogant, cliquish or just really illogical.
I can't agree that for linux's quality to be augmented, that its userbase needs to stop growing.
.375 H&H Magnum.375 Weatherby Magnum.375 Super Swede.375 Winchester
I think those are all magnum shells. I guess I would have to check the latest Guns&Ammo though right?
I think the.375 Winchester is a handgun cartdrige, which of course is what we are talking about, and not cartdriges like the H&H Magnum.
of course the guy meant.357 Magnum though. I don't think either of you knew about.375 cartdriges though.
You're right, we should stop trying to augment the abilities of our eyes, and while we are at it stop trying to cure blindness. Technology is bad. What if the government healed blind people and then made them secret agents who went around enforcing national security or something? We couldn't have that. Down with technology. Ledskof "The meek shall inherit the earth. The rest of us will go to the stars."
the people? the idea is that this is what the people want, and it IS what the people want. If the government wasn't splitting them up, then they wouldn't ever get split up, unless we ran them over with tanks ourselves.
The experiment will give reasonable proof whether Einstein's general relativity elements of space time distortion and so on exist, but it does not prove all of general relativity the way that everyone including that space news site are talking about. This experiment will not disprove a current belief among many scientists that Einstein is wrong in the areas of his physics that the math blows up and creates black holes, infinite masses, and so on. Einstein puts a speed limit on the universe, but he doesn't put a limit on his physics. Here's a good article to read: http://mist.npl.washington.edu/AV/altvw100.html this article talks about a modified version of GR. I think it was posted on slashdot recently. Also, this modified version of GR is quantizable, which Einsteins GR is not.
That's the first time I ever heard someone refer to a shipping piece of software as vaporware. I wonder why I believe Unreal took longer to come out than Daikatana

even if the card cost $399, why would they write something like "$200 savings"
This is what the ad said:

there's probably something wrong with the law. I'm talking about all the people who bootleg and make/share/etc mp3's.
