oops. had the wrong thing selected when i submitted. should have looked like this: Do you help run slashdot? Then you can't have your wedding announced on the site, dumbass! seriously dude. it's their website, they can do whatever the fuck they want to with it.
Do you help run slashdot? <br> <b>Then you can't have your wedding announced on the site, dumbass!</b> <br> seriously dude. it's their website, they can do whatever the fuck they want to with it.
please please PLEASE tell me you were joking with this.
they're not upgrading the other sites' servers, idiot, just the slashdot server. the front page will load faster, but the linked sites run on their OWN servers and slashdot has NOTHING to do with that.
twice as many keystrokes as it should? SOMEbody doesn't know to edit their acad.pgp file. it contains command aliases. i never had to hit more then two keys to use anything. as for crashing...what version were you using? i've never had a problem with it...
It is expensive, yes, but if you've ever worked with it....well....let's just say it's worth every damn penny.
Although i don't reccommend it for architectual work. if you're making houses and whatnot, go for a product called datacad -- it's more optimized for such purposes....but i digress...
you can get (or you used to be able to get) a student version of autocad...sure it would put the words "student version" in everything you plotted, but hell, if you're using cad professionally, you should bite the bullet and shell out for the full damn version.
wonderous is the product from autodesk. i cannot rave enough.
yeah but the free version of this is so limited....i mean....after working with autocad i just cannot stand trying to work on only one layer, and what the hell can you plot on just 'A' size paper?
i mean, it seems nice enough, but free it isn't if you're trying to do almost ANYTHING.
It's just a way of attracting attention to yourselves...really...I can see the thought process on this guy:
"Gee, nobody knows who I am.....I know! I'll write about why everyone is gonna die! BWAHAHAHHAHA!"
I read the article when it first came out (I love my Wired subscription...and complementary mousepad. It's pretty.) and I wasn't too impressed, really. Man is dumb, but we'll go on for a good while now.
Personally i think it's a travesty that Steven "Hey, let's add some MORE special effects!" Spielberg is going to be directing something that the late Mr. Kubrick had set his sights on. Give it to a REAL director: David Fincher for example.
down here at Georgia Tech i brew an infamous bit of coffee from my ghetto-ass coffee maker, Senor Cafe (too lazy to put in the real letters). We call it "680nm Brew" because 1/4" of this black hideous brew will stop a 680nm laser cold. you have to mix it about 50/50 with milk that's been saturated (completely) with sugar before it's all that potable (although we HAVE drunk it black before *shudder*). even after all of that, it's STILL bitter as shit.
after drinking this stuff for a while, that starbucks crap tastes like water. i also have a damn hard time getting a caffine buzz these days. *sigh*.
Timescale buddy, timescale. anything is possible to occur by chance over a long enough timescale.
And there's been life on this planet for over 3 billion years (we have fossil evidence). 3 billion years. that is an INCONCEVABLE amount of time. the human brain can't even come close to holding the tiniest fraction of that amount of time in mind.
hi. as a georgia tech student, i feel i must correct you.
they give you all the network info you need to set up any damn box you want, BUT they only give you support with setting up resnet and fixing your hardware problems if you run something on their list....which (for simplicity's sake) they made include only Mac and Windows 95/98 OS's
I know this is offtopic, but this really pisses me off:
You know, the way you people bitch about it, you'd think that having/. make a little dough would be a bad thing. Sure it's a.org domain, but who really thinks that makes a damn bit of difference? Churches use.org addresses, and most churches are ANYTHING but nonprofit. I mean, how many chruches are there that pass a collection plate? Do you know what that money does? It buys the preacher/minister/priest/shaman nice new cars. New cars, you say? Well there's not that much money in those plates. Bullshit. People give to churches because, somehow, they think that that money goes straight to God. Well, skip the middleman I say! Throw your money up in the air, and God can keep whatever he catches.
And another thing that bothers me: I dropped my razor in the sink the other day and it blew out because the idiots who made it evidently didn't think anyone would be using these things in a bathroom near, you know, water. I mean Jesus assfucking Mary, it would cost them another, i dunno, dollar maybe to waterproof the goddamn thing, and now i need to get a shitload of resisters to try on it because it burnt out bad enough that i can't read one of the stripes, so it's 43-something, but I don't know how many damn zeroes follow that 3. Kindof an important thing to know how far away to put the goddamn DECIMAL POINT!
And something else that really fuckin' bugs me: people who take things too seriously, like the asshole I'm posting to. Come ON buddy don't get so pissy. It's a fucking website. It's not your friend, it's not your neighborhood, it's not your horribly-misnamed "virtual community". It's news. For nerds. Sometimes it's even accurate. And so what if Malda is makin' some flow off of it? This doesn't make him a sellout, this makes him FED, CLOTHED, AND SHELTERED!
The knife. Think about it. Where would society be without the knife? It probably came (in some form) before fire. Just a sharp rock. you could put it on the end of a big stick and have a spear, or on the end of a little stick and have an arrow, or on a log that you drag behind your local dromedary and have a plow. spinning knives to mill things and drill things, knives and a spindle to make a lathe, a knife and a gear to make a can opener (thus making canned good practical).
The knife has essentially not changed since it's conception. sure we use better materials on it now, but that's about the only major change. ask most people and they probably carry a knife of some form....they have a billion uses in everyday life.
a knife is the only tool that you can live off of by itself. put someone in the middle of the wilderness with a knife and they have all they need to survive (granted, most people these days couldn't do it....just don't have the skills, but THEORETICALLY it's possible).

Drink more water, eat less junk. Have some fruit, it clears out the system.
Have a good, long, slow fuck.
Go for a walk in the rain until you catch cold. Get over the cold.

Do you read the entirety of usenet every day unfiltered?
yes. it doesn't leave time for much else, but i DO it, by gawd.
and, strangely enough, it has brought me a sense of self-worth that i never had before.
