Perhaps one of these days, freetards will understand that the GPL is not the end-all, be-all of open source software. In fact, your toe-cheese eating demigod hates the term and prefers 'free software'.
I'm sorry, is this Falcone guy just gold plated arrogant ass who thinks the world should revolve around him, or is he just a plain, good old grade A fsckwit?
Hey, YOU kick out a rockin' jam like "Rock Me Amadeus" and try to maintain your humility. Not so easy, now, is it?
Yeah, go ahead, just dare them to post yet another raspberry pi article. Remember when we had to sit thru 3 e-ink display astroturfs per week? Ugh. Weird as it is, at least this doesn't get posted on a regular basis... thats why I upvoted it in the firehose.
Back in my day, I had to sit through three hot grits trolls to get to one Natalie Portman.
Based on my experience in the military 20 years ago, it will remain the same as today... 99.99% boring as all hell; a bad dilbert cartoon would be better, and 00.01% holy cow. The more things change, the more they remain the same.
I'd bet that the Trojans had similar thoughts. Sumerians. Etc.
Well, a step function has steps in it. It is not contiguous (continuous??) A linear function is continuous, without steps.
If the resolution in terms of 'x' is on the x axis (naturally) and perceived quality is on the y axis, in the situation you describe (and I agree with), 2.5x resolution will not result in 2.5 times the perceived quality. It will only be 2 times the perceived quality (actually less, but that gets hard to think about). But, when you hit 3x resolution, the perceived quality 'magically' jumps.
A step function is the type with these jumps. A linear function is not.
They'll wake up tomorrow, and find that fuckin' green statue dropped from 30000 feet on top of their beloved Awful Tower. That'll teach 'em a thing or two about democracy...
Democracy won't fix anything if your country is full of assholes...
This could apply to either France or the US, so, umm... what's your point?
Muhammad claimed that he was being constantly guided by Allah throughout his life. So his position in that sense was perfectly consistent - prohibition on forced conversions was divinely inspired, and was necessary at that point in time. When it became unnecessary, it was abrogated by a new commandment, which was equally divinely inspired.
Some think bonch is one of those pr accounts and mod him down on purpose. Others think he is a Mac fanboi and mod him down on purpose. Some think he uses sockpuppets and mod him down on purpose.
And since you've been reading slashdot since such a young age, it is unlikely that you have distractions like a girlfriend or IRL friends to distract you from your waiting.
Why is such a high resolution needed on a 10 inch screen?
Because it's exactly 2x of the resolution on iPad 2, and iOS APIs do not have any good provisions for flexible, dynamic UI that can scale with resolution. This means that, when it comes to running apps made for past devices, Apple has to linearly upscale them, bitmaps and all. And bitmaps look very bad if you don't upscale them by a nice integer factor, like 2x.
The situation you describe is, IIRC, a step-wise function, which may or may not be linear.
I know. Negotiating with the "leaders" of Anonymous or the Occupy movement is like negotiating a price with the guy selling you the Brooklyn Bridge.
No, not really. That guy gave me a really good deal. I'm just waiting on a little cash from this hush-hush deal I'm working on with a Nigerian prince before I can commit to the bridge sale. Fortunately, the guy with the bridge was willing to pull it off the market for a time for a small fee.

Logic should run along the time honoured statement ... Is it a bird? Is it a Plane? No, Its Superman!
So, it wasn't a bird (the protesters were there to stop this) it wasn't a plane (or the pilot would be - miffed) So.. THEY SHOT SUPERMAN !!!
They should be in the clear. It's only bad if you tug on his cape.
This conversation about meth production should somehow link to that story about truckers hauling nuclear loads.

I've never heard his say anything like that.
Because Penn won't shut his fucking mouth long enough.
Shouldn't they also be displaying HAZMAT placards, or do they get an exemption?
Kansas: 100 guys to keep ADM's robotic tractors running to feed us, 2.8 million to keep the meth labs running.
Seriously, you guys should have just stopped after "Dust In The Wind."
You can't have gay marriage without Santorum.
Take another look. They have a few more. If you can access the .au version, I believe they have all 11.
Slow news day, eh?

Half of all the roundabouts in the world are in France.
So, "la perfide Albion" finally won? Next challenge: convince the French to learn English...
Hell, I'd be happy if the English learned to speak English.

Well isn't that convenient?

I didn't exactly need a crystal ball to know Lord Voldemort was going to be defeated
Goddamnit! Spoiler warning next time. Anyway, I'm at this spot, where I think Snape might actually kill Dumbledore!

I always wondered why people thought she was so great. Now I know that it's because the audience is blind.
Knowing slashdot, he was referring to Vasquez.
If it's so shitty, tell me how much you want for me to take it off your hands.

The funniest thing about that comic is that the 'computer expert' looks like a woman.
CmdrTacoSupreme?
I'm not sure how Rob Malda putting sour cream on his head will help slashdot, but at least someone would be trying something.
Given your political affiliation, the chance that you'd come up 'clean' in terms of compliance with existing copyright law seems highly unlikely...
But coming up as wholly consistent and not hypocritical with regards to his party's beliefs? Highly likely.
