Your homeowner's association may SAY you can't have a dish, but according to the Federal Government, you are allowed to have one, as long as it's all contained on your property. This was to prevent cable companies from paying off homeowner's associations to make satellite TV illegal. Fuck the cable companies, fuck the homeowners. Get a nice big dish:)
Oops. I turned my hot water heater up to 212. I took a bath and all my skin burned off. I'm gonna sue the hot water heater manufacturer. I didn't know that boiling water cooked things:(
My point: if you're stupid, just kill yourself. Stop blaming other people for your problems.
Even if MS fixes the issues, I think I'll stick to OSS. I like having control over my computer; Windows assumes that I'm too dumb to do that, and takes the control away. No thank you.
Going up to the parent's parent's parent's parent, we see that this post concludes a string of five(!) consecutive posts containing an asterisk. Just thought that was interesting.:)

This has to be the dumbest post ever. MOD PARENT DOWN.
Is sending you an email that you don't want spam, also? As I said above, it's a slipery slope as to what spam really is. Sure there are obvious examples of spam; and sure, people abuse the uncertantity about what spam is.
But if you think about it, the more demand for a product, the lower the price goes. If the spammers are demanding lots of bandwidth, then they're pushing costs lower. So sure, they're stealing $.50 a month in your CPU cycles, but they're lowering the cost of bandwidth by $1.00. So you win in the end.
I don't have any numbers to back this up, but it seems to make a small amount of sense:)
I told you, don't use email. There's no gun to your head.
How much is a CPU cycle worth, anyway? I could see you getting mad if people came to your house and drained your car of gasoline and left a message saying "FREE G4$ ON1IN3", but that's just not what's happening. GIMPS is stealing MY CPU cycles by FORCING me to run mprime. Oh wait, I chose to run mprime. Just like you chose to accept the email.
I know it's inconvienient to not use email. But if you're running a server to accept messages, then you have to accept everything. What's next? Webmasters that reject connections based on your race? "No negros on MY webserver!!!!"
(Yes, I use an extreme example. But what do you consider spam? What about when spam is a message from Howard Dean, and the current administration wants it blocked. Can they legislate that?
It's a slippery slope, so that's why I prefer to take the spam at the expense of some dumb ads that my filter gets anyway. *I* want to do the censoring.)
I know nobody likes spam, but if UUNet carries 90% of spam, it's their own bandwidth that they're wasting. And if it were truly being wasted, UUNet would kick the wasters off. But it's making them money. So they don't care.
Look at it this way. The spammers are financing you slashdot/pr0n habits. So who cares? You're not really hurt personally. (I know, I know. Spam is such a HUGE waste of time. You know what? Nobody has a gun to your head forcing you to use email. Sorry.)

Fuck building codes. If you're saving the town money (if more people use more water, they need a new water treatment center), they should at least make it legal to do so. Also, who the fuck decided that they can tell you what you can do to your own house? If I want to do a shitty job (haha) installing a toilet, that's my right. It's my toilet and my house. If banks or insurers want to make rules, fine. It's technically their house. But it is NOT the government's house!!
What's next? Computer code? "You can only overclock your computer by 500MHz on Tuesdays and you must have 4.8 fans per gigaflop."
Fuck you. My stuff, my rules. Who lets shit like building codes fuck our society?

And the little thing that sprays water in your ass. Hard to get used to at first, but pretty nice. The bathroom in America is uber-lowtech compared to Japan.
I liked the bathtub that maintained a constant water temperature and water level. That was nice...

Java can be compiled to native code. Why would you rewrite something just to change the language!?
Visual C++ is the best compiler we have on PCs--with no competitive alternatives.
(from the second page)
What about Intel's excellent compiler? Or AMD's? Or GCC?
I think someone needs to think outside the box here. Surely if you're good enough to write a game like UT2003 (or something) you could deal with emacs* and use a great compiler. Oh well. Whatever, I don't play games (often) anyway.:)
* Saying "dealing with emacs" is like complaining that your girlfriend loves you too much. In other words (slashdotters may not relate to the gf example;), emacs is much nicer than Visual Studio. But some people might not think so.
I'm a smart programmer (IMHO:), and I prefer perl for prototyping (and not prototyping, heh). Actually, I think I like scheme better now.
Anyway, who cares if one language is more widely used. Use what works for you. Once you have a binary, your user probably doesn't care.
Conversations like "psh Linux!? They wrote that in C. No way I'm using that, d00d!" don't occur too frequently*:)
* Actually, people seem to avoid Java programs for some reason. I personally like an app that I don't have to recompile to run it under various OSes...
my CPU needs a 600 gram heatsink to run cool. This CPU pen is going to melt it's casing before the OS even thinks about starting up.
Assuming it manages to start, I think this is going to become a lot more common! (Oops! Time for a meeting. Better pocket m' pens. OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!)
I haven't had any problems getting motherboard reviews from google. Try I'm feeling lucky with "LanParty Nforce2 motherboard review" and you'll get a review for the LanParty NFII motherboard. What more could you want?
That's a great sig. It really utilizes all of the language attached quite well. It isn't COMPLETELY affected by integer overflow, but it's mostly affected by it. Good work:)
To be honest, I don't see any way a sane person could disagree with you. You're sending me the signals, I'm performing some DSP on them and connecting them to my TV. Fuck you if our business model sucks. You have no "right" to profit by beaming high-powered waves through my house.
