    browser specific??? it happens in chrome firefox IE9, 10 and Opera, it only goes away in links 2 and IE4.5 mac ed from what I have seen, and no fucking wonder cause it doesnt support javabloatscript (and on that note slashdot can accept a right click without jumping up 8 fucking pages too!)

    so go eat my ass

    Why thank you, I am flattered, but on your second point its a distro with packages and a gui installer, not magic.

    sounds like a quest to me!

    never played the game, but I like playing MMO's, I like playing single player games, and would not mind running around as a freebee with crap everything just to explore the land

  5. Re:Who would use this? on Ubuntu 11.10 & 11.04 To Support Apple AirPrint · · Score: 1

    Um me, but I am a nerd

    my apple computer is old enough it wont run much more than 10.2 and since its my electronics workbench computer now I need lots of nixie software and tools, really dont care much at all for running such an obsolete apple OS while doing it, and linux performs much better on the same hardware

    so why wouldnt I, oh thats right! apple says I need a new 6 core 5 billion hz 90 gig of ram monster running 10.100 to operate a text editor and command line, I am a bad little sheep...

    its wifi printing over apples BS, it only matters if your an airport user with an apple printer and accessories

    or in other words less than a percentage of your typical apple user cause its on linux and was not installed by a genius

    technology is about making human lives better or easier

    its not easier to tun off instant search on all my computers at random whenever the cookies clear, I reinstall an OS or log in as another session

    it also is pretty fucking annoying when your using a old computer, like my one at work and it chokes 3 letters into a search phrase.

    And just who is this helping? does anyone actually read the bullshit pages that pop up as your typing in? Fuck no! lets say I am looking up polyester, wow great google I needed to know the Korean definition of poly while you take your sweet fucking time updating 100 pages of hits every damn letter

    I hate this argument cause it always comes back

    its not paying attention to my preferences if I am logged into google, its based on cookies

    firefox loves to just at random blank out old shit and I have 3 computers at home and 2 at work, its actually more of a pain in the ass to turn off instant search every fucking time at least once a month

    speckles = dirt
    eaten = too much time

    if it takes hours your doing it wrong, I reused the same ferric chloride for the last 4 pcb's I made and even in its weakened state and mostly saturated with copper it only took 20 min

    and people mill pcb's all the time =)

    I have never had any decent results with toner transfer, but that is my problem ... but you will not be making too small of traces and anything over 2 layers is going to be durn near impossible (unless you make a bunch of boards and glue them together) + solder mask + silk screen + cutting + drilling + though hole plating

    your not going to be doing any serious production that way

    course I dont use windows on a regular basis so I really dont care about win+R for a run command, or find, or show desktop, or instant file browser ... etc that no one in their right mind could ever possibly find useful according to the op that cant read a whole page of html nor install anything but windows ...

  19. Anyone who cares about video game violence on US Supreme Court: Video Games Qualify For First Amendment · · Score: 1

    should really watch the tv more, in the last couple of months CBS has thought it to be a good idea where one of the leader roles commit flat out murder over personal grievances

    first CSI where the criminal is captured, then freed and then beat to death with multiple detailed and slow-mo reinactments by fishburne
    then there was the mentalist gunning a guy down in the middle of a mall
    then criminal minds where dude flips out and beats someone to death

    but my number one right now has to be last nights Hawaii 5-O, when one of the main cops flips out and proceeds to take out an entire squad of commandos, including a good friend, by him self with a pistol, his two hands and some knives...

    now this isnt some Reb Brown shit where it looks so silly you cant take is seriously, its full on creepy plotted out silence of the lambs shit, available on over the air TV at 7pm sunday (you know for the kids)
