I'm baffled that there's any value in real "likes". Other than marketing-department dick-waving, that is. Has anybody noticed the CW commercials for new shows this fall all end with "Go to Facebook and like (some show you've never seen and isn't out yet)". Seriously, does the fact that some random web surfer took the time and effort to click a button really have any real-world value?
I guess I wasn't clear. I've had "-semantic-desktop" set globally (in make.conf) all along. I dumped Amarok when it started insisting it wanted kedlibs(+semantic-desktop), and nepomuk (which I refuse to install) as well.
I'm a Gentoo user, and I ditched Amarok a few versions ago, when it started insisting I compile kdelibs with +semantic-desktop AND expected nepomuk to be running, too. I told that fucking camel to get its nose right out of my tent.
Let's not forget the airwaves full of commercials for lawyers with phone numbers like 1-800-BAD-DRUG trolling for "clients". Tort law in this (US) country is what allows these parasites to go hunting for the deep pockets, and why the big-pharma product-liability insurance rates are so high.
Remember, you might be entitled to substantial compensation.

Go to the "Gallery" section and see a list of links in ASCIIbetical order of useless gallery names, (ex: "Bill Toomey's images") each individual one with thumbnails in a vertical format. "Events" top level section gets you a "No events defined" page. And so on.

Sigh. Kids these days. In The Keeper of Traken, The Master stole Tremas' body. After that, The Master simply started regenerating (Derek Jacobi (single biggest misuse of a great actor EVAR) to John Simm) again, without explanation.
Yesterday's story was about how Qualcomm were being assholes just for spite about releasing the big GPU driver blobs for the bootloader for the new Nexus 7.
If "fit in a pocket" is in your criteria, then the Nexus 7 isn't for you; you want a phone form-factor. However, if you're looking for the perfect tablet form factor, then 7" is the right size to fit in your hand without danger of dropping it.
Microsoft have a dominant market position in the smart phone and tablet markets?
You must be using some new branch of mathematics that I wasn't previously aware of.
No, Microsoft has proven it statistically, the proof just involves extensive use of i - and a couple of NaN's.
Exactly. Hadn't previously considered the notion of a musket being an "assault rifle" during the last American revolution, but the idea of one being so today is pretty funny. A quick Google search gives us some pretty funny images:
There's this, which shows us musket-as-original-assault-rifle in a historical context, and this, which shows us a musket with a black nylon stock and all sorts of scary attachments. I totally have to agree with the "bet your ass George Washington would have owned one" sentiment.
And imagine just how spooky an 1873 Winchester lever-action was in its day...
That would depend on whether Dianne Feinstein thinks it's scary-looking or not. Never mind the statistics on how many gang drive-by shootings are comitted with assault muzzle-loaders*, it's all about the perception and fear-hype rookie reporters for the local 6-o'clock news can work up.

I was really just commenting on fusion itself, which has been 20 years in the future for the last 50 years.
Look on the bright side: in 22 years, we'll be able to recharge these self-driving cars by plugging them into the fusion reactors we'll have by then.

Ya see??? That's "what's wrong with this country these days", tards can't tell the difference between "hating on" retards and "making fun" of retards.
No, but her IQ does.

You just redlined my Marketing Weenie Detector.

Glad to see the /. moderating system working so well. /sarcasm

No, no thanks, this is Slashdot; personal anecdotes (or even better, unfounded opinions) are preferred over "facts", which are subject to change.
Well, at least Microsoft was good enough to recycle it, rather than simply bury it in a landfill.
Actually, high frequency trading is a cancer on the economy.

Obvious troll is oblivious.
Ever see the David Hasselhoff made-for-TV Nick Fury: Agent of Shield? (unintentionally) Funniest. Movie. Evar.
Seriously, wear Depends if you ever watch it, you're going to need them.

Now you've gone too far. If that doesn't deserve a "Flamebait" mod, I don't know what does.

Up until this news, I was seriously considering buying one.

Rarely have I seen a post "How about, nothing?" and a username "Myopic" more brilliantly complement each other.
