    You may have no problem finding source, compiling, installing dependencies, etc.

    I run Windows, OSX, Fedora and FreeBSD and I have not ever had to do those things. I have wanted to on FreeBSD, but I did not have to. Perhaps you should try something other than Linux From Scratch.

  7. Re:OSX on AppleCare Reps Told To Skirt Malware Questions · · Score: 1

    Are we going back to the days of the ancient Greek philosophers where having to looking up a piece of information was considered a mental weakness?

    To be fair, there was only around twelve pieces of information in the world back then.

    It certainly wouldn't be useful to Microsoft for counting the number of Windows machines out there. As in ping xp-counter.microsoft.com, ping win7-counter.microsoft.com, etc. It also would certainly not be useful for a botnet owner to know exactly where their targets are.

    Whatever you do, don't Google it. Using a search engine to search for information is ridiculous.

    Err... why did you put [wikipedia.org] in there without a link? Are you trying to drive us crazy?

    It's a reference to the type of website [geocities.com] used to look up the information.

  20. Re:You were FORCED 2 LIE though, Americano on Apple Deemed Top of Movie Product Placement Charts · · Score: 1

    To add to your point number 3, it is also common for colleges in the US to mess with their schedules and only offer certain classes during certain semesters. This causes requisite classes to be held during conflicting times, so the student must wait an entire year to take a required class just because of timing. Since taking the time off from studies will affect student loans, financial aid, and their degree plan, they end up wasting time taking classes that aren't needed.

    My point is that just because it took 6 years to finish a degree, doesn't necessarily mean that the student is stupid. It could mean that the school they went to decided to screw over their students in order to maximize profits. Not that I'm bitter about it or anything...

    Linux From Scratch. But to be fair, it's more like ripping your hair out in frustration than a conventional haircut.
