This is why public nudity is illegal in most places I know, but yet other countries allow public nude beaches (at least topless I've seen).
Yeah what's with you guys and nudity? I love going to beaches in sydney and seeing sexy topless women all over the place. It's great! Being Australian rocks!
...I've read a whole truckload of posts from peopl claiming that gamers should go to win2k. Crap. Heaps of games don't run on win2k, and there's no sound at all in dos games. (I know about vdmsound, but that crashes a lot of games eg worms). WinXP runs more games than win2k in my experience, and it runs every dos game I've thrown at it, although only a dozen or so, but it runs some that 98 would not, and all with sound. It runs max payne bloody well, and the only game i've had problems with is Warlords 3, but it runs warlords 2 great, with full sound, midi and voice.
There are some things that are done wrong, there's too much MS advertising, and good luck to MS re charging for more themes, but apart from these (relatively minor) gripes, I love XP, and I'm hoping that the oracle guys port soon so I can loose 2k for good.
Also, anybody know a place to download themes for the built-in theming engine? Much appreciated if you do, all I can find on google is wallpaper+sounds+icon packages:-(
The QUESTION is completely appropriate. He didn't say that there IS a GPL violation. He hust wondered if there is one.
No, he did not. I am wondering many things right now, like maybe if you're an idiot. But now since I've written it, I'm not only wondering it, but suggesting it in a public forum, two totally different things....
Funny, except you know this is where it'll end up:-)
And when we stick the shopping list on the fridge with our imac-coloured see-through magnets, we can tell our kids of the time when magnets had were all made of metal, and they'll look at us funny like we're older than god. I can see it now....
I've been running XP for a couple of months now, and ages ago a mate of mine checked his hotmail from my computer. I now have his msn messenger on my computer and can't find a way to make it piss off and forget his settings, and I've done some looking....
They've got some cool ideas (some, not all) but they need some help implementing them methinks.
True, but what about the rash of people who want you to paypal to a hotmail address? There's no way I'm paypaling to a hotmail address, espescially when half these people don't even respond to emails. I'm under no obligation to buy from somebody who doesn't answer emails.
This is because you've rotated your monitor more than 90 in the earth's magnetic field, and it throws off the magnets. Hence you have to hit the degausss button tho get everything aligned again (or whatever it does, but I love that button).
The robot will fly to the ISS in November. It fits (whole) into a approx. 1'x1'x1' box and weighs less than 3 lbs.
Wow. These guys could sure cut some costs at nasa. Nasa can't fly to the ISS without rockets as tall as buildings, weighing tonnes, and costing billions!
If you guys can really get a gig for $US60 I envy you. Here, one gig is $300 ($US140) at the very cheapest. Here, a 20gb drive costs $250 (US$120) 20gb of ram (using cheaper 512mb sticks at current prices) = $6,400
We're not quite ready for solid state hdds, nobody would give up that profit margin.
Still, at a gig for $60, you guys must have some expensive harddrives for it to be cheaper than disk space;-)

Let me get this straight... you want to hand your girl-friend 3D graphical evidence that you weren't working late, that you've actually been drinking with your buddies at the bar again?
Could be some good math to do..useless? sure, but fun if yer a geek like me:)
That's the dumbest idea I've ever heard. The reason we need an anonymous service is that the government, and laws are for sale to the highest bidder. And anything can be made illegal if someone in the FBI or a company with enough friends on the hill decide they want your details.
Sure mate. You might not like his music, but if you seriously think he's got no talent you're an idiot. It's not like he's britney spears and only making money because of his appearance, he's been making music many people love since he was a little kid, who do you think's propping him up? Sure he's a dickhead, sure he may be a dirty old prick, and no, I'd never go to a concert of his, but he's still a very talented entertainer.
It won't even start on my PC, crashes out, looks like it's trying to find a 3dfx(!!!) card. Any fixes? I'm on XP which may be part of the problem, but I can run q3a....
"Bloody hell josh, it's a car, you'll never get your money back"
"You're gonna do WHAT to your car now!!?!??!?"
Same sort of thing... To me, it's money well spent (I don't expect it back, I expect increased enjoyment driving my car), but she just couldn't understand it.
You could just prepend a 0 to the front of the old filenames, and it'll sort them all correctly.
It's attitudes like that that get us all into trouble mister! That sort of talking till get us all into trouble! You should know that 13 and 013 are different numbers, one being 13, and the other being 11:-) Of course 011 is 9 but I digress:-)
He has every right to his opinions, but when everybody is open to judgement from everybody else, you end up with the worst form of mob rule, where a conservative status quo is achieved, and nobody will do anything that could concievably cause waves, as they don't want to rock the boat and be judged themselves.
You wouldn't by any chance live under a bridge would you?
There is enough sex and violence present in the media
I think not. Sure there's enough violence, but never enough sex! I'll tell you what there is enough of though, self-righteous pricks who think they should be the thought police, and that they have the magical rules as to how everybody should raise their own children. That and trolls, so you've got to go either way.

Ask slashdot: "Why shouldn't I use open source?"
Why not just ask microsoft why you should use open source?

My prediction is that this will singlehandedly setback the amateur pr0n induistry by at least 5 years!
First metallica killed napster, now anthrax is killing the postal service? Damned punk teenagers and their devil music.
