nah man, hardware destruction is bad! get yourself a flesh eating bacteria and insert it under each of his fingernails. Eventually the pain of the flesh being ate away will drive him slowly insane. Psychological AND Physical.....i'm going to hell for this.
an anti-spam forum got spammed by a guy trying to sell anti-spam software, and after doing a lot of inquiries to several whois databases, determined that the anti-spam spam was really spam spam. make any sense?
It's an editor's job to make sure what is being printed is correct in a whole, and has all rights to put in a note as to whether it is or not. Besides, who cares, really. i mean, does it matter?
goodbye p2p. Guess it's time for all of us to go back to the ghetto, fire up our favorite IRC Client, and hit the fserves. Or those on broadband, time to fire up the favorite ftpd, dynamic DNS service (i.e no-ip.com), and stay low. Wait a minute, isn't that the way most people originally got into file trading? Might as well stick with the constant. *fires up mIRC, hits #mp3world*
All this is becasue I had installed linux for a non computer person, who updated mozilla and then was stuck with the default fonts.
Wouldn't it have been wise to give a non computer person, lets say, Windows? I mean, i know Linux is getting better in it's user friendlyness, but i didn't know it reached the point where it became a tool to teach computer literacy. Especially if some moron tells them that "rm -rf/" is a good command:P
who care about how you LAN party guys think, it's only like 0.0001% of population
They may be a small percentage of the population, but they are also the ones that keep on eye on the newest technology, and spend the most on the newest technology. The rest of the population doesn't have to keep their FPS as high as possible, their monitors big, and their equipment easy to carry
I like the idea. Some may think "well, it's 13lbs, that's not so portable" But you have to look at it this way. Whether you haul your system to and from LAN's every week, or even move it from location to location once a year, it's common knowledge that if you can the make the package smaller, it won't get harmed as easily. Even with current day LCD's, the worry of scratching the screen, or something else, makes people put them in a box, which takes up room, and is a general pain in the ass. If you can fold it up, especially so that the entire screen is enclosed, what the hell, put the monitor in your glove box and save room in the moving vehicle for other stuff (like that abnormally large chair that is just really comfortable and you just CAN'T compute without it)
okay, i see your point there, but really, are tires (when properly pumped up, heh) flat? I haven't bought a set of tires that had a flat surface. The tread is a buncha little flat plateaus if you wanna get that technical, and the walls of the tires bulge out a little, so that's not flat either
rather have those little models around then some nimrod with 2 grand in his pocket and napkin saying "i be lookin' for a patent on this here drawin' of a (insert big word of device that is waaay above our time and will most likely be invented in the future)"
Yeah, how about *gasp* not letting people patent things unless they have *gasp* a complete prototype of what they WANT patented. That or very reasonable, very realisitic schematics of what is to be patented
I wonder if anyone has patented the "Terminology and Grammatical Uses of The English Word 'Shit'" i could patent THAT, and sue each and every motherfucker you even mutters it, then die lonely on my 1.3 Billion Dollar Island:D
Apple users are just that, Apple users. They love them, trust them, and some may do things that i can't mention. They love the simplicity, and the pretty screens. Professionals, more specifically digital photography (even more specifically digital typesetting, the field of work i'm in) also love Mac's. Linux on the other hand, in the professional aspect, is still sort of a new player. In the server aspect, linux is still a front runner for professionals, but in the desktop environment, it's still..shady to them. They have system's they know how to use, and aren't willing to make dramatic changes. With the Mac OS now using unix-based underlayers, professionals are even more likely to stay with Apple because "hey, we still have an Operating System we're used to, with the dependability of Li/Unix in the background, Why change?"
If you're going to be using computers as a major medium in your teaching, why not include in the subject(s) Internet Lingo (also known as Ebonics for Geeks) and all the pretty acronyms people come up with for...EVERYTHING. With all the Text Messaging done with cell phones, and now being carried over more and more onto the internet, it's able to become an acceptable form of the English Language. It may seem lazy, but i see more and more people, even those that are older, using it. Why not give the students an advantage with being taught about it, where it originated from, and all the many uses for it. This may, infact, be a good learning experience for yourself, since i'm sure most of your students know most of it already. Make it a big group discussion, ask around the room for different ones, and opinions on them, and most of all, have fun. Students seem to have the ability to learn things better if it's something that they use out of school, and if you can link these things to more of the basics of English, they just might understand:D
With every new computer that comes out on the market, and gets connected to the internet, there is no way possible for the internet to "peak". Isn't the internet just one big network of computers connected to eachother?
Internet usage my be peaking, but as newer technology and lower internet prices come out, there will be more and more users.

ah hah, okay so i'm a little rusty, damn this Windows XP with it's purty colors

LSD, LCD, what's the difference, both make things even more interesting then they were to begin with :D

Flat Cylindrical Object == Oxymoron
Flat == 2D
Cylindrical == 3D
Object == Too Vague
Patent System == See Flat Cylindrical Object

i could patent THAT, and sue each and every motherfucker you even mutters it, then die lonely on my 1.3 Billion Dollar Island
