Oh please! Immoral?? Let me get this right. It is "downright immoral" to inconvenience someone???
Jeez! Maybe you ought to look up immorality in the dictionary.
Did you ever notice that the campbells soup isle at the grocery store is not in alphabetical order? This is because the grocers believe that you will buy other soups than the one you are looking for, if you are forced to scan the whole shelf rather than being able to easily find one particular soup.
Is this annoying? Yes.
Is it immoral? That's just plain stupid.
I wanted a beer the other night but I had to go to the refrigerator myself, because my wife wasn't in the room. It sure would have been more convenient for me if she had been in the room and could have gotten me the beer. But since she wasn't I was inconvenienced.
The immoral bitch. I'm telling the preacher all about her loose morals.
That's great in theory, but what if you aren't a single person. Certainly your family will want to make a call sometimes. If you have a wife and two kids, that's $40 per month X 4 or about $160 per month.
I assume you can get special deals for multiple phones on the same plan, but each phone would still have a separate number, so what is the family's telephone number?
I love my cell phone, but I don't think I could do without the hard-wired telephones at my house. Although I could certainly get by without the one on my desk at work.
Of course it *Works* with DSL. The point is that since DSL users have to have a telphone line installed to carry the DSL service, it is redundant.
In other words, they wouldn't be able to cancel their local telephone service and use VOIP on their DSL line instead, as cancelling their local telephone service would necessarily shut down their DSL.
In 3d games, "people" are represented by clusters of polygons. Also, people aren't necessarily people. They can be monsters, aliens, other Duke Nukem instances, etc...
Making them dead means, well, de-allocating their system resources, flipping their state from active to inactive, inducing a sufficient amount of deceleration trauma via an assortment of imaginative, high tech weaponry, to render them non-threatening.
I don't see a *real* problem. The manufactured problem comes from hollywood. Movies like the "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and that one with Michael Keaton, I can't remember its name, have lead people to believe that you can create a full grown clone in as little as a few weeks.
Actually a clone is simply an identical twin. There will always be an age difference between you and your clone that is equal to your age at the birth of your clone.
The "Hollywoodisation" (to coin a term) of the American intellect has created a bunch of self-assured morons and polluted our collective psyche with fantasy. There is nothing inherently dangerous about cloning.
My big fear is that they (the *mad* scientists) continue to pursue artificial intelligence like the Matrix warned us about. Now that's really scary stuff that *IS* dangerous! I'd be a clone long before I'd be a battery!
Is there no way that you Slashdot wizards can prevent idiots like this from linking to that stupid asshole picture anymore? I've seen it 4 or 5 times on SlashDot and it always pisses me off.

Qt Going GPL
·
· Score: 1
The problem with KDE acceptance was originally the license issues with QT. Those issues have already largely been removed.
I have been using both Gnome and KDE for about two years now and my personal opinion is that KDE is by far a superior product. Where Gnome is one big kluge, KDE is thoughtfully designed and expertly developed from object oriented C++ as opposed to procedural C. As a developer, I would much rather write for KDE than for Gnome.
KDE's charter was to create an excellent desktop environment for Linux. Gnome's charter was to be a "KDE Killer." Although I understand the desire to kill that which you don't like, the product that was spawned from this vitriolic hatred toward all things proprietary is not what I would consider the best design possible.
Don't get me wrong, I like the fact that I have a myriad of desktop environments to choose from, I just feel that until the Gnome folks get their head screwed on straight, they will be too focused on killing KDE instead of on creating a robust, user friendly desktop environment. Many of you will go on and on about choice when it comes to MS vs. other OS's but when it comes down to Gnome vs. KDE, you spout off about how KDE is evil and must die.
IDIOT The ship IS NOT controlled from CIC (Combat Information Center) It is controlled from the Bridge. CIC is simply the dark room where the radar techs, sonar techs and combat strategists strategize.
I am an expert programmer in both C/C++ and Delphi, with more than 10 years of real life experience. Yes, Java's garbage collection is nice but if that's the only thing that causes you to say "Basically, it's the worst of both worlds from Java and C++." then you are indeed a simpleton.
Anybody who argues for a certain programming language solely on the basis of its technology exposes himself as an Idiot who deserves to be ignored.
I did about 2 years at HP developing image processing/manufacturing software in WinNT. I had to use MS Visual Studio to communicate with the hardware so I developed that stuff as a DLL. Since it was all low level stuff built on my own class library, I didn't have to use MFC which was a real blessing. The only time I butted heads with MFC was when I would write a quick and dirty application to debug a piece of the DLL.
Did you ever try to remove a button from an MFC application? If you're not careful it will chew up and spit out your project before you know what hit you.
The rest of the application(s) I did in Borland's C++ Builder. Remember, Borland is releasing Kylix sometime this year, with the C++ Builder version to follow soon after. Kylix is is Delphi for Linux. It is a marriage of all of the stuff you like about programming in Linux, with the slick, integrated IDE.
Delphi Rocks and it's going to be great on Linux. If you're careful with your code, deploying your application in Win32 will be as simple as recompiling it.

Or something like that.
Yuck!
Where did you find a nasty, toothless hag to experiment with?.. and the more important question...
Why!?!?!?
Images of the Hansel and Gretel witch, naked loom in my mind.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Those guys on Star Trek have plenty of gravity on their ships and they don't spin. Why don't we just use that technology?
Duh! Don't those scientise guys watch television?
This is all very interesting... but how will it help Bill Clinton get laid? Focus on the important stuff people! FOCUS!
