Of course they are. Separate the European idealogues from the European residents. There's less people in the three countries then there are in the US, but other than that they're buying at the same rate.
Ahhh yes the one of the oh so convienent "You are too stupid to comprehend the answer so I'm not going to state it" which really translates into "I don't really have a legitimate explanation for my actions/point of view because I'm just a rebel fucktard without a cause"
So you robbed two banks not for the money, but to make a political point, and you call OTHER people the morons? What exactly is so bad about our society that you had to have a nonconformist tantrum over anyway?
Do you not see the irony here?
And why do we need more objectivity concerning the prison system? Who cares about dirty law breakers?
You know you can chill on the alarmist sky is falling predicitons on our fossil fuel usage. There's enough left in the ground for decades of future usage and by the time its all gone we'll have perfected alternative fuel sources for our vehicles.
The usual Anonymous Coward who replies to any post that makes light of "Pound-Me-In-the-Ass prisons" hasn't replied angirlly yet.
Apparently this individual is the person on earth with sympathy for prisoners serving hard time. He's always saying things like "What if it was YOUR brother" at which point I usually reply, I'd laugh at the dirty lawbreaker everytime he complained.
I have one myself and love it. I have a moblog setup to show some of the pictures I take with it, you can find it here: http://ndptal85.textamerica.com
The guy mentioned his own servers, which he probably doesn't have that many of. And he's a CIO/CTO which means he can surely afford to buy a few expensive Macs.
He's reached the high end of geekdom. Let him enjoy the gold standard of Unix instead of encourageing him to stick with the "good enough Unix" (Linux) that most open sourcers use because its GPL compatible.
And all HS grads go to work in factories right? Look I know the salary averages are higher for folks with degrees, but they're not that much higher. 4 years and tens of thousands of dollars just to earn double the salary of a HS grad? No thanks. Unless its garunteed that I'll be a millionaire in 5 years after getting my degree I'll think I'll do without universitiy.
As it is I'm making six figures.
BTW wasn't higher learning supposed to be about making oneself a more well rounded person or somesuch? Or is that just what under-earners with degrees say to themselves to make themselves feel better?
But if after all of this schooling you are unable to make yourself into a millionaire or at the very least break even on the cost of your education from birth to PhD then POO ON YOU!
The laws of physics kind of dictate that self-replication has to have a limit. The law of conservation of mass or energy are related but I'm too sleepy to go into it.
I'm sorry, but are you under some impression that being involved in the free software movement is morally and ethically akin to fighting against slavery, for civil rights, for world peace, or some other ACTUAL NOBLE cause? Its hard to tell but it sounds as if you actually believe any of this OSS stuff actually matters in the long run.......
Music is music whether you like it or not. Both Pink and Eminem are musical geniuses not only in their respective genres but to the music world as a whole.
Its not a cheap snide shot. Its common knowledge by now that NTFS is a fragmenting nightmare. Do not take your anger out on Slashdot because you are one of the last people to find this out.
Ugh I really hate this line of thinking. A lot of the people in any industry who are in it "for the money" are orders of magnitude better at whatever job they're in than those who are there just "for the love of it".
An emotional attachment to something does not equal intellectual apptitude.
Those who desire to make lots of money however tend to focus their intellects on whatever it is they do best and then they go out and do it.
The US isn't really xenophobic. We're just a very large country where everyone speaks the same language instead of 25 smaller countries right next to each other, each one with its own language (Europe).
The money spent on sports is well spent. The children are thus recieving a well rounded education via their exposure to sports.
As for higher education increasing the chances of people to contribute something worthwhile back to humanity you'll find that is far from the case. Higher education has for a long time now been seen as a way to get a better "job" or "career". Schools entice prospective students with the higher average salaries of college grads vs high school grads. Nowhere in the advertising can you find appeals to advance the state of humanity in the world. Its about getting a better job so you can get a bigger paycheck so you can buy a better house/car/girlfriend....etc.
Ever since the GI Bill this has been the case. The fetishization with accrediting every profession and walk of life and the assumption that all must go to college is the result. Before the GI Bill and the SAT higher ed was considered finishing school for the children of the elite.
Very very rarely is it ever thought of honestly and sincerely as a way for people to better the world. Yes yes some improverished child not being able to go to college sounds sad and weepy enough when you first hear it but when you consider that if enabled to go there's an overwhelmingly good chance they'd end up a rat race money grubbing power broker wannabe like most college grads it ceases to be such a heart breaker.

Now that you are a felon, do you enjoy all of the jobs you cannot be hired for because of your immature hippie like protest?

That sum it up correctly?

Mmmm my dinner's ready. Bye.
So get a Treo 600 which actually does do everything well.
I have one myself and love it. I have a moblog setup to show some of the pictures I take with it, you can find it here: http://ndptal85.textamerica.com
In reference to your sig, the Treo 600 does most of what you want aside frmo the Tri-band stuff.

I am the first post.
The first post is me.
Actually yes it is a joking matter. Its fucking hilarious. My brother would not be a filthy lawbreaking felon and if he was I'd laugh at him anyway.

Who would compare prices at Wal-Mart? People who want to pay MORE?

What would you prefer? That HP go out of business maintaining the "HP Way"?

I know geeks and nerds like to giggle and snicker whenever someone says something like this but like it or not Linux *IS* an operating system.
The "but but Linux is just a kernel and GNU is the OS..." stuff rings lame.
