the amount of gamers who are willing to forget the law and their best interests (and specially in a supposedly hacker friendly community like slashdot) for the sake of "punishing those cheaters that ruin my fun" is staggering.
With people like this, who don't know what's best for all of us, it's no wonder we fucked again and again by politicians.
elections will go the same way as ever. You'll get 2 candidates and any other one will get trashed because "he's not going to win".
Those 2 candidates will be mercilessly attacked by each camp to to pander to their own. People will vote for the economy or X social issue (or fear of "The others") and the policies will stay pretty much the fucking same as they were.
Depending on the image and party of the president we might see more outrage or opposition to certain things but it will be mostly posturing (see all the liberal bush attackers who ended up hailing Obama for the very same things, or worse).
Bullshit. There may be some idiots online who suggest things like that but basing yourselves on these to engage in whatever military action that advances your interests is disingenuous.
You're not policing Bahrain nor many other of your allied countries when there are cries for help so don't pretend the US Government gives a fuck about people asking "why don't you stop it".
I'd ban phrases like "the good guys" or "the bad guys". Hollywood has made so many people think in these stupid terms and that makes them justify any of their actions based on that belief.
American excepcionalism is greatly aided by the conviction of being the good guys.
1) This could be a factor. I don't develop for OS X but it could be relevant to some (Although, personally, I feel there's too big of an obsession about "look and feel" from mac users). 2) This is barely relevant, imo. MOC does a great job and code generators have always been a good thing if you know what they generate and are one way only. 3) This could be a factor although I don't usually see a problem with dynamic linking.
for Qt, there's PyQt (I've used it and it's great) and PySide (no idea).
I used WxWidgets a couple of years ago and while it was easy to learn, it was nowhere near Qt in terms of features and documentation. Still, I hope it does well. I've seen plenty of nice programs using it.
Besides, "fire, blood and horror" wouldn't win anyone to your cause and, before you're able to organize sufficient manpower to actually matter you'd be easily found out and imprisoned.
You're the tough guy that will talk down on protests and demand for a real revolution while not getting away from his keyboard.
Or arch, if he likes the latest of the functional things he uses and proper control of that initial configuration. Of course, he should be willing to learn a bit in the beginning but once that learning curve is over, it's a breeze.
Android is software. If you tell people to buy X phone and X has good hardware I'm sure they won't have a problem. I know my friends who have android have never complained.
Those who buy games on steam have already proven their willingness to pay. Some don't yet use linux, some do. But the track record of paying is already there.
Yep. Delaying sounds like an interesting marketing move. Outright making it exclusive seems like a horrible move. One that could be bad for their image and cause them to lose sales.
I have nothing against textbooks (I have a lot of hard and soft cover programming books) but when I commute, I usually can't carry more than 1 or 2. Tablet with epub/pdf's is a blessing.
I'm not saying it's worth the price but it does have some great advantages.
You have slashdot account and you voice your opinions and activities in it (telling us what you do and don't have). If that's not social I don't know what is.
Comments like
if the niggers in the ghetto were not such a bunch of criminal gangstas then racism would not be an issue,
the bleeding heart liberals and ghetto niggers can holler "racism" all they want, and i will holler "go to hell nigger gangster" because i have a right to know where the danger zones are despite it being populated with mostly trashy criminal niggers
and many, MANY others can be data mined and tied to you (don't think a pseudonym and alternative mail account do much in the way of privacy).
You have absolutely no grounds on telling other people what to do or giving advice about "not getting used by the internet".
Reddit has terms of service and rules that you adhere to when posting or otherwise participating in the community. They don't have an obligation to accommodate those rules to your liking.
That doesn't destroy your freedom of speech. You're free to email or use some other service which allows you to communicate that information. You can try Slashdot, if you want.
I was going to potentially suggest it but saw you already use it.
Currently we use FreeFileSync with a custom piece of Javascript to make batch files that synchronize e.g. folders C:\projects\123_ProjectName\ and Z:\123_ProjectName\ if the local folder exists. However, that solution lacks versioning, real-time sync and deletion support. It only syncs when we press a button, and then older files are overwritten by newer files (two way sync; older files go to a "sync-deletions"-folder).
FreeFileSync HAS batch files that can run and you can always schedule jobs (at login, connection with server, etc). You can customize the sync and even use versioning. It supports names of drives instead of letters as well...
Anyway, I'll add to the voices that said that you need to use some sort of Source Control for projects. Even if it's only to be able to 'blame'.
Not really. They do happen every time (at least in slashdot) someone criticizes a particular policy of the Israeli government, then someone else starts equating it with criticism of Jews.
I do find it interesting how many Atheists are working very hard to formalize Atheism. Creating a more rigid structure that contains many of the trappings of Religions.
You could replace that with any ideology or opinion or group.
I was looking through your posts trying to figure you out and I'm puzzled about the whole surrounding a word with underscores. What's the idea behind it?
Also, claiming that proof will come at a point where it won't be verifiable is not a valid answer. It's not reproducible either.
May I ask what's your particular set (or lack of beliefs)?
Nope. You don't need to doubt everything to make certain claims. I also claim there ARE no hogoblins and that doesn't make me a huge believer. It just makes me rational.
Something doesn't exist unless we can observe/measure it somehow. I'm sure I can find plenty of things you assert where I can say you're blindly putting your faith in.
The whole agnostic vs atheist thing has to be with political correctness and moderates/extremes wanting to discredit or move away from those they dislike.
I can also point at ridiculous people in your group and claim they represent you.
Pretending atheists are anything more than, say "people who assert gravity is real" or "people who deny the existence of unicorns unless given proof" is being disingenuous.

agreed. Full transparency and high expectations give us this type of things.
Thanks. That should be in the summary.
I seriously hope YOU are a troll... Otherwise, faith in humanity decreased.
Perhaps it's time to learn to fly using only the power of our minds.
These type of suggestions seem to be easy to make...
Documentation for Qt is top notch as well.

Can you prove that it's worse, though?

It's your responsibility. Not the site's. Otherwise, they'd have to accomodate to every small request.
You could replace that with any ideology or opinion or group.
