Were you really that naive and uneducated about the world when you were 17? And I suppose the second you turned 18 you immediately knew the score on what was "moral" or not.
Porn is about sex. And when was sex a bad thing? I know rightwing American christians like to think it is, but it really isn't. Maybe if there wasn't so much hysteria surrounding the subject we'd have a few less rapists and paedophiles and other sexual predators about.
This kind of crap about what is and isn't moral is sickening. Effectively by saying that it's wrong to look at pornography you are telling people what is acceptable to think. I am of course not advocating child abuse - but FYI, that's not what the majority of porn is about. Anything that goes on between mutually consenting people is no business of yours and your completely arbitrary moral code, and that includes sex.
Home users don't get free support from MS even on supported products. Maybe two free calls with the license but that's it, you have to pay for the rest.
They might get free unlimited support from their OEMs but I expect most OEMs stopped supporting 98 ages ago already.
If there are 10 types of people in the world, as you state, then you are using 2 bits to encode your possible types. This breaks down to (etc)
There are four combinations of the two symbols (bits), yes. That does not mean that the meaning of "10" in binary is 4 in decimal. It's 2.
0 -> 0 1 -> 1 10 -> 2 11 -> 3
I could say "There are 2 types of people in the world. Those that know binary and those that don't" - that's in decimal - does that mean that because I'm using decimal, and one symbol, I actually mean 10? No, because I said fucking 2!
I think you're the smart ass fuckhead who thinks he knows binary but doesn't.
I hope you got a nice jar of prozac for Christmas, you seem to need it.
An acronym invented by Gene Amdahl after he left IBM to found his own company: "FUD is the fear, uncertainty, and doubt that IBM sales people instill in the minds of potential customers who might be considering [Amdahl] products." The idea, of course, was to persuade them to go with safe IBM gear rather than with competitors' equipment. This implicit coercion was traditionally accomplished by promising that Good Things would happen to people who stuck with IBM, but Dark Shadows loomed over the future of competitors' equipment or software.

The U.S. should rightfully continue to refuse to agree to any treaty that has not been shown to be in the best interests of the citizens of the U.S.
Well it is in the interests of the rest of the world.
But the USA don't give a fuck about anyone but the USA, do they? And why should they? They're doing just fine. To hell with everyone else. And that's your answer to the "why do you hate America" quip right here.
Having the WAP site back would be nice as well. No one seemed to know about it but it was there, you went to slashdot.org on your phone and got the text of the articles. When they upgraded to slashcode 2.0 it disappeared without a trace. It's nice to be able to get slashdot on the move!
A gui is fine if you're processing videos or something, but for a lot of work, it's really just a waste of time. And resources.
OK, so running my 1600x1200 laptop at 1600x1200, allowing me to do several things at once by letting the computer communicate much more information to me faster, more efficiently and more intuitively, is a "waste of time and resources"...... but running my 1600x1200 laptop in 80x25 console mode isn't?
A small ISP. Their head networks guy is a good friend of mine:) Their website's shit, but don't let that fool you, it's damn good ADSL service, multiple IP addresses too, and very Linux friendly!
I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of a Linux box (a P4 3200 w/1024 Megs of RAM) for about 20 minutes now while it attempts to copy a 17 Meg file from one folder on the hard drive to another folder.
Call yourself a freelancer? Try turning DMA on. You should know that. Yes it should be on by default, but at least it doesn't silently and irreversibly turn it off without warning when more than 6 timeouts occur on the bus. Like XP does.
As far as productivity goes, it's all a question of what you're used to. I prefer linux as a desktop because it does what I need it to do in a way that I feel comfortable with. You feel the same about Windows. Which is fair enough, but it's just your opinion, it's not absolute.
Amazing. Seems like all you have to do to get moderated up to +4 is sound like you know what you're talking about, even if your sentences don't entirely make sense and are utter nonsense:P
Nothing says "this is a troll" quite like the phrase "Fortune 500"...
my second one is so scratched up as to be unlistenable.
Have you tried wearing down the scratches with a toothpaste and toothbrush, and then running the whole disc through cdparanoia on full paranoia mode? With a decent drive you'll be absolutely amazed at what it can recover. I bet you'd be able to get full CD quality audio out of it. And then re-burn it of course. Then you won't have to put up with everyone else's crappy 128kbps Xing-encoded rips:)
Slashdot Mirror
but people often seem to charge ridiculous amounts. And it's a bit annoying considering everyone else is getting it for nothing.
:P
Awww. Life's a bitch
It's not like GPL authors owe you any code, or that they're depriving you of something.
whenever I would want to use Aim express or another Java app, I had to go download something
You only have to download it once.
Nice ideas and all, but what's it got to do with the kernel? :)
I may have given my name to a store, but that does NOT give them the right to contact me for ANYTHING unless I give my explicit permission to.
But I bet you'd be the first to sue if you ate some of the beef and subsequently found out about this, "as is your right" of course.

Not really, FUD has a more specific meaning
Suing makes everything better!

There are some parts of America where cows are eaten. Shocking!
I don't get how people can get so squeamish about eating one animal but not another.
Ohh, that one. Yeah. Silly me.

A command line interface is not exactly what was requested.
:P
If a linux sysadmin finds a command line a bit too much, then you've probably got bigger problems on your hands
Anyway, there's a perfectly good GUI interface to apt-get, it's called synaptic. I usually prefer the command line though, it's quicker.

Evesham are medium-sized UK based
:)
Based in Evesham, specifically. Odd, that
in soviet russia, belong to all bases are you.
I think that's the way it is on Dagobah, actually...
In Soviet Dagobah, belong to you are all our base!
(sorry, I shall now go and jab myself in the eyes with a fork)
I refuse to buy one until it supports the Ogg Vorbis format.
