I'll laugh as most disabilities. I've got a mate in a wheelchair and I take the piss all the time. It's not disrespect, it's reality. The fact that this 'disease' ADHD is another step toward infinite granularity by the psychiatric profession is just another reason to laugh. Those of you who don't laugh, take heed - it's far better to receive a joke delivered in good humour than to receive false sympathy. You also wipe out all avenues for good conversation or comedy with this amount of political correctness. Of course I pity the fool who make fun of MrT... umm, what was I talking about again?
I heartily agree. The first thing the fools should be doing is switching to Debian stable if they want an easy free system. Just because redhat is the most popular doesn't mean it's the best. The learning curve when switching from RH to Debian is minimal and the benefits far outweigh the "support" that redhat provides. Support shouldn't be needed if you've got a decent IT team.
I'm posting this from the best linux desktop environment I've come across. Coincidentally it's debian unstable and I'm using a 56K modem for my updates...
You might be on to something there. What if someone filed a patent for the process of filing a patent purely for the purpose of profiteering? Or maybe a patent for the process of filing a patent on something that isn't a discovery or invention and clearly doesn't deserve a patent. Which would be self recursive and may possibly result in the break-down of the time/space continuum.
I don't see why not. I ran a gaming club for school kids at our local Telecentre (think community run net cafe in Western Australia) for quite a few years, and as long as we had parental permission , the kids could play whatever games they wanted.
Generally we played FPS games, mostly CS and AHL. On a rare occasion Red Alert or whatever demo had been just released and looked juicy.
I was given the task of supervising and keeping the kids in line, but that generally wasn't a problem and most of the time I was playing the games with them.
One thing I've found is that it's a great way for some of the less active kids to socialise and get confidence when interacting with other. And provided you treat them fairly, they'll respect what you say and not cause trouble.
I've yet to have a kid go whacko on me and kill his classmates. If parents are concerned about their kids playing violent games, then they don't understand the spirit in which these games are played. Everyone knows for a fact that they're just playing a computer game and that it has no effect in real life. Strangely enough, none of the kids believe that classmates respawn when you shoot them.
So yes, after hours LAN sessions do happen and I think it's a good thing. In the 4 years that I ran my gaming club, I never had a problem with any of the parents and am proud to say I've got a 100% survival rate.
You'll find that in Australia, generally anything that is thin and crispy and made from potato is called a chip. Crisps is only for the retarded or British. But I repeat myself.
when they wan't to make modifications
You try to come across as knowledgeable, but you must realise that you tend to lose all credibility when you make a simple error like that.
One simple reason - it's called ogg. Call me weird, but I'd rather have a lot of files called.mp3 sitting on my computer than having weird sounding.ogg files.
With a small amount of playing around, KDE can be made to look suspiciously like a certain product made by a certain evil empire. Add to that the fact that it's free and you've got a great alternative to an operating system made by a company that charges you more than the price you paid for the OS for every patch. (win95,win98,winME,winXP - all bugfixes for win3.1)
I'll second that, I've tried all sorts of distros and for ease of use mandrake wins hands down. Yeah, it might be buggy, but so is windows. Being the first distro with a journaling filesystem makes it wonderful for everyone from windows who thinks a reboot is the only way to fix a problem when it comes up. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they put in a cosmetic BSoD in their next release just for people making the transition from windows.

Seriously, nobody cares what you think. Fuck off and die.
probably because mozilla is always the base for netscape

See, but it's still funny, so why stop?

I think Bluey is short for something too...
After that, I wish them luck getting back online.
Someone explain how the FUCK that can be considered insightful?
Yet again we see the need for moderators to pass an IQ test.

Hi, I'm anally retentive. Please BEAT ME WITH A LARGE STICK.
..we can help you beat Microsoft. That's the main reason other companies are interested in open source.
The fact that James Cameron isn't directing it can only make it better.
