Oh, I get it now... you're some sort of Eliza/Alice. I fell for it, I thought you were a real person. Now I know I'll look out for more of your amazing posts and see how many other people are fooled.
Oh the games people play now Every night and every day now Never meaning what they say now Never saying what they mean So they while away the hours In their ivory towers Till there covered up with flowers In the back of a black limousine
Talkin bout you and me And the games people play
Oh we make one another cry Break our heart Then we say goodbye Cause our heart say We hope to die Let the other one to blame Neither one will ever give in So were gazing at an 8 by 10 Thinking bout the way It might have been Its a dirty, rotten, shame
Talkin bout you and me And the games people play
People walking up to ya Sayin glory, hallelujah And they try to sock it to ya In the name of the Lord They gonna teach you How to meditate Read your horoscope And cheat your faith And furthermore to hell with hate Come on and get on board
Talkin bout you and me And the games people play
Look around tell me What you see Whats happening to you and me God grant me the serenity To remember who I am Cause your giving up your sanity For your pride and your vanity Turn your back on humanity And you don't give a damn
But it's pretty annoying that I have to register just to see their catalogue. It looks like this includes giving my credit card number. Sorry, but I can't be bothered with using such a company.
Agreed. "So, I think most of us can agree, porn at work == bad, but recognition that Click EULAs/other agreements are not binding is probably good. The question is - what replaces them?" is as relevant to the article as climate change is to big business CEOs (in their minds). I scrolled down the comments page and found myself reading some crap about EULAs and wondered what what had to do with the article I've jusr read. *Then* I reread the/. intro. Sheesh.
Okay.... I guess all of the US, China and Russia will be only too glad to switch to GMT, so 12 noon would be in the morning or evening depending on where you are. Would you then expect people in those countries to start work at 9am GMT, or would you allow them to consider the local lighting conditions (caused by the sun)? Maybe then we could say "Okay, it's 9am here there and everywhere, but I understand that Mr Rostov on Vladivostok might not be out of bed at the same time as Mr Jones of London, so I'll ring him in 6 hours (or whatever) when he'll in the office.".... is this perhaps what time zones are for?
What annoys me about Scrabble is the dictionary used. The rules I possess state the Chambers 20th Century is to be used (actually a problem as my edition hails from 1908 and lacks a fair few words), but now you are required to use the authorised Scrabble (R)(C)(TM)(IP) dictionary which has a whole load of bollocks two letter words. No longer is Scrabble about vocabulary - simply memorising swathes of daft vowel/consonant combinations seems to work. Yes, there is a difference.
Is this an issue with web 2.0 (whatever that turns out to be) or with the ability for people to host content in general? Surely JS, Flash etc are old tools?
As it happens I had a hard time getting Flash to work on Linux on my PPC Mac. Then I realised - I was happier without it. Really, Flash is a real bane most of the time. Once you get rid of it you miss a whole load of annoying ads and get to bitch about websites with crappy Flash user interfaces.
I think the increase is due to the public awareness of autism, leading them to suggest to the doctor that this might be the problem. It's not unknown for the doctor not to know what the problem is until it's been pointed out to them. This is especially true for the less usual problems that a general practitioner might encounter.
I disagree. TV (television) is based on broadcasting, watching DVDs etc isn't.
Okay, that's a little petty, but here's a real difference - people without TVs choose what to watch, when to watch it. People with TVs so often just sit down in front of it and then vegitate, accepting whatever crap is shovelled to them. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there (yourself included?) who will then jump up and shout "But I only turn it on when there's something I really want to watch!" The difference is that people without TVs choose to watch less - they are generally more selective. Speaking for myself, I have a lot of fun times with my wife and daughter - playing games, reading books, talking. I kind of feel sorry for people who miss out on that sort of thing because "There's something really good on TV".
As it hppens I have a computer and a radio. No TV. Not even a TV card in my PC.
I watch DVDs and listen to normal and web radio. The rest of the time I read, go out, talk to people, dance, have fun. What on earth am I doing on Slashdot???

A beautiful post. Thank you.
Your example shows how little you understand of the issue - indeed, your example implied that you think it'd be right to sue Wikipedia.
Astounding, mod this up "Informative" someone, please!

Because that would be a stupid thing to do. They'd fall over unless you anchor/stabilise them *so* securely that you'd never move them again.
Please mod parent up as funny!
Hopefully it'll kill off a few bloody seagulls. Maybe we should have a wind farm in central London to cut down on the vicious bastards.
Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean
So they while away the hours
In their ivory towers
Till there covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine
Talkin bout you and me
And the games people play
Oh we make one another cry
Break our heart
Then we say goodbye
Cause our heart say
We hope to die
Let the other one to blame
Neither one will ever give in
So were gazing at an 8 by 10
Thinking bout the way
It might have been
Its a dirty, rotten, shame
Talkin bout you and me
And the games people play
People walking up to ya
Sayin glory, hallelujah
And they try to sock it to ya
In the name of the Lord
They gonna teach you
How to meditate
Read your horoscope
And cheat your faith
And furthermore to hell with hate
Come on and get on board
Talkin bout you and me
And the games people play
Look around tell me
What you see
Whats happening to you and me
God grant me the serenity
To remember who I am
Cause your giving up your sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity
And you don't give a damn
Talkin bout you and me
And the games people play
I, the undersigned do hereby declare that any fool can install any crap on my machine over the internet and make it run like treacle.

In other news, Ford now sells cars in colours other than black...
Every cloud has a silver lining....
GMT only.... d'you think the French would like that?

You'd *really* care if you found that some system then decided you were high risk and increased your life/health insurance premiums...

I guess you're not working in the real world then.
Still out of your arse mate. The Fedora repository software has nothing to do with Redhat or Fedora Core. Did you follow that link I put in there???
