If you set the wayback machine to a time before political-correctness became the norm in comedy, you'll find that there was a time when humor could be both offensive AND funny at the same time. See Sam Kinison.
It's a great pocket computer with a built-in phone app.
Very true. The bit I can't get my head around is why that phone app (plus maybe $50 worth of 3G hardware) adds $450 to the cost of an otherwise equivalent pocket computer, retailing from Apple for $299.
Its only APK, he is a well known troll here, don't bother feeding him. He is at war with nearly everyone on Slashdot, and is so stupid he does not realise he is making himself look like a tosser of epic proportions.
But his OCD is much more entertaining to me than Marc Summers'.
Yes you can. You walk into the Apple store, lay down ~$30 and walk out with a boxed copy of OS-X 10.6.
Since I don't have any recent experience running Linux on a laptop, can you tell me which is easier: getting OSX onto a Hackintosh, or getting Linux to properly wake from disk?
Why would I provide you with my bona fides? You can't possibly afford to hire me with the remains of your welfare check. I know, I know. You went off your meds to save some money so that you could do that. You don't have to. Honestly, off to the chemist with you. I understand if it takes you a few days to get back to a therapeutic dose.
For $30, you can buy an OS that properly comes back up from suspend.
If you're referring to Mac OS X, then a new MacBook costs $600 more than the laptop I use now. Feel free to convince me though that being able to suspend to disk is worth the extra $600.
Just trying to help. It seems you have a hardware/software combination that doesn't provide rather basic functionality. I was offering a suggestion to remedy that problem. Perhaps $600 is the tariff to get shit that works.
We should give control to a computer, in a bomb shelter on the novaya zemlya islands, with a HW random number generator that it consults for decisions.
Mr. President, it is not only possible, it is essential. That is the whole idea of this machine, you know. Deterrence is the art of producing in the mind of the enemy... the fear to attack. And so, because of the automated and irrevocable decision making process which rules out human meddling, the doomsday machine is terrifying. It's simple to understand. And completely credible, and convincing.
Suspend to disk is even better - brings power draw to zero.
Provided all the hardware comes back up properly. In my experience, suspend to disk has been less reliable (blank screen, no sound, or X crashing and restarting in low-graphics mode) than suspend to RAM.

Sounds like a place where the free market might actually work. But for some reason, I doubt that the widow of the congressman from Disney would go for such a scheme.

At least those paintings of women are women, unlike the Mona Lisa.

You misspelled Lenny Bruce.
Duke was an iconic figure back in the days when Andrew Dice Clay was still alive.
I guess he got better?
"Hickory, dickory, dock..."
Step 4? WTF kid, is that some inflation related thing? It has always been step two that is missing. The other steps are already memorialized in song.
I disagree. There's got to be a cutoff point below which it ceases to be fail and emerges into some sort of parallel universe.
Problem is, it's pretty much the same universe as ours, but they have cool hats.
Just need to check something...
What a coincidence: I'm logging into your account right now also.
Don't cook for yourself tonight. Go to City Wok.

One chip and a helluva lot of FCC testing.
How about they just focus for a little while on flashplayer-that-doesn't-suck.

I don't waste modpoints on AC's, up or down.

err, something like that.
Mein Fuhrer!
OT, but when did we switch from calling them teabaggers to calling them Tea Tardiers. The new one makes me think they just run late for everything.
Methinks it is related to the 'Paultard' sobriquet.
I thought Abraham said "God, where you want this killin' done?"

That last one seems dodgy to me.... but that's the rumor going around the Mac sites.
It's not just a rumor; click the link you posted and look at the first image.
If you RTFA, you lose the Game.
Bah, I was able to do this on my Mac Classic, and the image was in ROM, not on a 'recovery partition'. Command-option x-o
There is probably a large container full of Colecos sitting, waiting to be discovered and put up on eBay.
I'll get to that as soon as I finish digging up this treasure trove of Atari 2600 PacMan cartridges.
as vehicles become safer, drivers in general are more comfortable and feel safer to the point that they drive more recklessly
Insightful comment, except for the fact that you are dead wrong.
Will Microsoft dump .net?
First you'd need to get Microsoft to actually *define* .net. Something they've never done.
Christ, next thing you know, you'll be asking the US for exit strategies for their multiple wars of aggression.
