  1. What does MIcky Mouse have to do with innovation? on How Corruption Is Strangling US Innovation · · Score: 1

    This story just makes no since, innovation is not imagining up some new character for dumb shit kids to drool over, and its not like micky mouse is keeping animation in the steam boat era. If nothing else, micky is a driver in the innovation of new animation techniques and technologies.

    the last mac I bought was not even a year old when saint jesus jobs deemed my very expensive computer unworthy of OSX... 8 years later someone figured out if you swap two bytes in ram you could run upto os 10.2 on the fucker.

    So making a decision to fuck over customers cause he wanted basically the same machine in a dumb shit blue case is just one of a billion reasons that arrogant con-artist deserves a boot up his used car salesman ass, both in life and in death.

    Course now that he is dead, he cant dazzle you morons with a new toy

    no everything around the die of the IC will start to burn well before it gets to temperature in an oven, electric ovens especially, are binary devices, your coil is not at 482 degrees, its full on hot as it can get, and basicly PWMed at a snails pace.

    if you ramped it up slow, and had a more controlled heat source yea maybe

    "I don't care because I have good hardware.."
    my 1986 mac can go from dead cold to excel in 8 seconds ... see how that works?

    "KDE is more than fast enough on a i3-2100 with 4Gb memory, and gaming is fast enough even with my old and trusty GTX285.."
    if you like it, fine, doesnt change the fact that KDE is and always has been heavy

    "If you do not like the plasma desktop it is easy to switch to a more "classic" desktop, by simply right-click in the desktop anywhere, choose "desktop settings", and set the "activities" to "folder view". Simple and effective.."
    Doesnt shut stuff down, just changes the presentation mode, good that you only go on looks, ought to net you a real good relationship one day

    "You can switch off compositing bling-bling to speed up your desktop (and if you don't like bling-bling) by unchecking "enable desktop effects" in system setting->Desktop effects."
    Or one could avoid it without manually shutting it off for certain application performance issues

    "So two little tweaks and you have a classic and fast desktop.."
    Its also slower and eats more resources for stuff you cant see ... brilliant

    heh my steve jobs baby apple IIC has a utterly useless Dvorak switch proudly placed on the case, st jesus jobs wasnt right all the time, hell not even most of the time, thats why he got the boot the first time, and lets not even get the body count of jobs failures, you just choose to remember the successes.

    when its not your only option, we have a handful of them scattered about at work and yea, its actually handy to just point at something, especially when there is a group involved, which is the situation we use them in.

    I have eleite for a couple platforms, its a space shooter with some menus tossed in there ... honestly didnt even know it existed till a few years ago, so I hunted down copies for my retro computers.
