Well I think that anyone reading quotes from Gordon the NASCAR driver tend toward the "dumb" theory: "It's like everything is opposite where, you know, he had to brake at the 250 and was like 'Whoo.' I was like, you know, went to the 100, you know, down in there and, like I said, I can go so much further, you know, and I just couldn't get on the brakes hard enough."
So is sending an arsonist after a murderer too. It's still a crime, and makes you no better than the asshole you're going after.
Oh, go hug a tree! You bleeding liberals are responsible for most of the problems now facing us. Parents and teachers afraid to discipline kids, total asshats rewarded for going to court to blame the world for their misfortunes. Shitheal lawyers making wads of cash helping the asshats. Dying companies preying on healthy companies, crying "no fair" at competition.
Survival of the fittest. Darwinism at work here. The net is evolving to overcome a disease that's been left unchecked for far too long. Scumbags making money pushing porn at 10 year old kids. Maggots sending my 80 year old grandmother viagra, cialis and get poor fast scams. 100 years ago these fuckheads would have been beaten to death by an angry mob. Now they make millions a year as good men have their hands tied.
Fuck them. Let their servers burn and their wallets shrivel. Let's see the punks make some money fast some other way.
I wouldn't be on that. In fact a program called "Top Gear" recently tested this very car in a collision test with a concrete wall at 70mph. The wall was angled at around 10 degs from perpendicular, so the Smart car slammed into it and then slid off to the side. Although any occupants would indeed be killed in such a collision, it would be due to the deceleration forces, and not any problems with the car's structure. It's specifically designed to transmit the energy of a crash up through the (surprisingly strong) roof and underfloor sections. In the test, the roof glass remained intact, and the passenger side door was still operational!
They performed the same crash test with another normal family car (I think it was some vauxhaul) and it faired no better than the Smart.
Funnily enough, using Mplayer under Linux I don't have to wait for any adverts, FBI warnings or other threats the distributors tack onto the beginning of the disk to try to scare me into being a good docile citizen. Amazingly, despite this criminal disreguard of Blockbuster's attempts to force me to sit through the trailers for hollywoods latest slopfests, I actually often go out and buy DVDs - even after renting them! Wierd, huh?
As anyone who's tried out x86 Solaris is aware; it's no match for Linux on the platform - or any other platform other than Sun's own hardware for that matter. The hardware support is pretty dire. Sure, it's supposedly a superior kernel, but if it's unable to take advantage of the metal underneath it, then it's not going to win market share.
(yes I have tried it out, and it lasted a full week before I threw up my hands in disappointment and went back to the penguin;-)
I'd venture they wanted to give SCO "enough rope" first. This is a good thing; SCO are haemoraging cash in fashion that would put the most ridiculous dot.coms to shame. They've alienated virtually everyone - customers and partners, rid themselves of staff and are now largely owned a law firm. A year ago they might have backed out of this hole, but now the reverse gear has gone - they can only move forward and deeper into the mess.
Novell has decided to start shoveling the dirt in on top of them...
I upgrade my phone/PDA/laptop/TV when the "next model up from my bosses that he's been bragging about" appears just to piss him off;-) Or at least I tell him I have... HAHAHA!
Honestly, why would someone submit this to Slashdot? I mean, they've managed to submit hundreds of "well written" messages to vendors, and now they're about to fuck it all up by encouraging the illiterate, and largely uninformed masses here to send in their own special brands of wisdom.... Then there's the goatse fans, tubgirl gang, "BSD is dying" trolls and other shining stars of the forum just waiting to get in on the fun...... oh well, it could have worked;-)
I remember my first speccy (my first computer) - I had to save up my wages from a paper round, and then could only afford the 16K version. I couldn't make much use of the colour, as I only had a b/w tv set with a stick-on green overlay so it looked "professional" - yeah, I know;-) Man I wrote so much code on that thing, starting with basic, and typing in whatever appeared in the weekly copies of whichever computer mags I could get hold of. Then moved on to assembler - and learning almost zen-like patience as my code would lock up the machine and I'd have to wait for a load back from tape again;-) Wrote loads of games for people to play at school, and maybe wrote the first computer "demo" - it was a graphic demo that I painstakingly timed to sort of sync up with "Close to the Edge" by Art of noise;-) The wierd thing was that it would only sync up the first time I booted the speccy, loaded the prog and ran it. If I re-ran it, it would run more slowly...
Of course now even my mobile phone has 100 times the CPU power and 256 times as much RAM, but I was still glad to have been around when the early affordable home computers were born; when computer courses were all about programming and understanding how the machines worked instead of how to use Word and Excel in the MS sponsored "education" (or rather, training) of today.
Let's check the facts here - this guy claims to have written a mac emulator that runs at 80% native speed, all by himself... in 4 months?!! He's either a frickin' genius, or he's "embraced" some code from somewhere - and I think we all know where...
If this contraption is supposed to convey the "meeting experience", shouldn't all the riders have their own steering wheel attached to their wheel, so it would end up spinning around in aimless circles with no obvious goal? At least that would bring it closer to how our meetings seem to end up...
I've used Gnome 2.8 and the SB still sucks. I unmerged it and only use KDE now due to the terrible spatial browser in Gnome... Yes, I know you can fiddle about with the GConf editor to make it behave correctly, but if you need to jump through hoops to fix a problem that really shouldn't be there any more, why bother?
I agree; that Spock and company never found any ET's, but a seemingly endless procession of humans who wore rubber masks and strange clothing... in fact now I think about it, that sounds like the average night out for a politician... Maybe Star Trek was a spoof...
For a long time you wouldnt be caught dead with Netscape on your computer... nothing worked with it because the web standards all used microsoft standards, not the properly selected ones.
Hardly. Nothing worked (correctly) with it because the rendering engine was absolutely terrible! Resizing the browser would usually destroy CSS formatting, usually break scripts and often crash the browser. Broken markup could easily crash it. The DOM was lacking somewhat in properties, and what was there was very often unusable if you did want everything to come down in flames. Memory leaks abounded, it was slower than IE... etc... etc...
Believe me, I was writing a LOT of code when that browser was popular, and it wasn't a fun time to be a web developer...
If a car has a screw that becomes loose after 10,000 miles and could potentially let the engine drop out, regardless of how rare it might happen, every car will be recalled and the screw will be tightened and the car given back. Do you really think that a car company would tell its customers to tighten the screw?
Cue: Dialogue from "Fight Club"
Narrator: A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
Business woman on plane: Are there a lot of these kinds of accidents?
Narrator: You wouldn't believe.
Business woman on plane: Which car company do you work for?

Then Microsoft make money selling Frontpage and maybe even ISS.
I wasn't aware that MS actually owned the International Space Station! Maybe the World really wasn't enough for Bill...
Interestingly, a search for Litigious bastards on Microsoft's search engine: Like this brings up our favorite scoundrels at #1! Spooky, huh? ;-)

Good grief! Are you serious? I think a "police budget" can stretch to *zero* dollars to install Linux and mount your super 31337 ReiserFS drive.
The only way you've any chance of hiding your Pr0n is by using an encrypted filesystem like CryptFS, an encrypted loopback or whatever...
Well my first impression, from reading the list that started with the "Appletalk" protocol was that someone has hacked MSDN and injected the page...
