.. but the Appalachain trail jokes arent funny. The first one wasn't even remotely funny, and the two dozen that followed it in the last post about this guy were annoyingly lame.
It's only unfunny for Republicans. For sane people, it's still funny as fuck.
Most of your experiences reflect mine, but I fail to perceive any drop in "work ethics" between the nerds of the 80's and those of the 00's. I attribute my edge to plain experience.
Duly impressed in their success in porting in less than two weeks, I downloaded the Mac port. Alas, the joy is short-lived. It's terribly slow, locked up for short periods a couple of times, and had a generally poor user experience. It was not dock-aware, had odd-looking widgets that looked poor compared to Firefox or Safari, and didn't integrate with the OS at all. I suspect that's par for the course for a Wine-ported app, but the end experience is worse than running Chrome in Parallels desktop in Coherence mode.
Same thing happened with me using the Linux port on Fedora 9 in a VERY fast machine. It sucks aardvark testicles.
Seriously. What keeps anybody (in any country in the world other than the USA) from going into a computer store, buying a dozen AMD Phenom mobos, and walking into the nearest Iranian consulate?
You think they'll stop with that? If that passes, they'll start getting envious of what those other fascists (the war-on-drug ones) can do and start confiscating houses.
That's an amendment. Anyone who downloaded the viewer before they put that up isn't subject to it, only to the EULA as it appears within the package itself. And it only says "You may not... distribute the software with any non-Microsoft software that may use the software to enhance its functionality"
So a person can put it up for download and others can download it at will.
Even Disney, at one time the most powerful media company in the world, doesn't go around publicly trying to convince people that infinite-term copyright is the right solution because they know it just wouldn't fly.
Ahhhh, but Jack Valenti did. Because he was a moron. And now he's dead. Which makes me happy. But not too much, because it took WAY too long.
Aren't you from one of those law firms that throw C&D letters around to people who make websites referring to entertainment things in ways the media companies don't like?
'ill-gotten gains' == 'still possesses anything of any value, or owes us less than aleph-infinite dollars, or he and every (mandatory, of course) offspring of his for eternity are in forced labor in prison.'

Does it make toot-toot-toot noises when it focuses, at least?
norwegian.fi ?
No crashes here. Fedora 9, kept up-to-date, with Livna and Adobe repositories in YUM. HP desktop with Intel onboard video.
Hell, it deserves an article just for it! We've been putting up with that shit for what, 10 years?
WOO HOO!
http://www.oiloja.com.br/ - Brazilian cellphone carrier I use. They had a transparent Flash that covered everything - now it WORKS!
http://www.formula1.com/ seems to be OK too.
Anyone has other sites with that problem so we can test more?

Oh, great, now the Republicans will want to clone Thor.

These bans are utterly unenforceable.

To the right wing nimrod (pardon the redundancy) who modded parent flamebait: it's the hard truth. Deal with it.

Now, seriously, hentai aside. we're talking about a conutry in which selling used CDs is illegal. I am not making this up.

Looking like a nerd, and with a wife who looks like THAT, he is an inspiration for all us nerds. It. Is. Possible.
Teaching evolution and natural selection is as "preaching" as teaching that Pi is irrational.
"Don't listen to the fancy college heathens! Pi is equal to THREE! it's in the Bible!" (It is.)
Wasn't there a US document a couple hundred years ago that made reference to "Illegal search and siezure"? Is that thing still around?
No. Next question.
