Also they gave every 7th grader in maine an ibook this year, and those kids usually go down with one punch.:) 1) They're spacing out the laptops over a couple of years. 2) 7th graders, up here, will take your ass out. You better have a gun.;) 3) Nice sig.
I actually found this informative, and not at all trollish. Someone mod it up....Oh, I forgot, it mentioned an OS other than Linux in a good light. Well, then, never mind.
...Steven Levy so far is the only person in the mainstream press to pick up on the the travesty of the SSSCA hearings.... Uhmm...am I the only one who sees how obvious it is that mainstream media, controlled by the companies that are backing the sssca, wouldn't be reporting on it? Unless it wasn't going their way, that is.
a load of crap. Thanks for wasting my time. I figured there would be some inciteful argument or something, but it was just another standardization asshole preaching the word. Maybe we should all use Windows(tm0, too.
From what I've read most of the damage estimates were pulled out of somebody's ass, anyways. So my question is, if this became law would the damage estimates get lowered considerably?
.emotion {weep: I spent far too many hours watching Loony Tunes as a kid. Laughing and getting educated at the same time. Damn. The quality of 'toons has gone down(with shit like Barney, the Smurfs, etc.)since then. Luckily the 'toons are still there--Chuck Jones will live forever.; }
Why is this so contraversial? Does this perticular distro go through the hands of the Chinese govt or something? Why yes it does as a matter of fact. "...certified by the Information-system Product Quality Inspection Center under the Ministry of Public Security of China in June 2001." From here.
Tenths of a penny. Still, not a lot considering the artists' own creative talent in most cases (*cough* N'Sync) goes into it. Which reminds me... N'Stink etal don't write their own songs, so who gets compensated on pressplay, etc? How does that work?
It's easy to be cheaper when your "producers" are starving to death, forced to work 20 day, not allowed to organize, and are forced into birth control and abortions for the sake of "efficiency". Huhh.
Won't have workers for too long if they keep starving to death and can't reproduce.
Wal-Mart is a retailer that drives many other small local retailers out of business. But, Walmart is not a monopoly, and it does better by being more efficient, rather than mowing over everyone in its way. Business is hard. The market rewards efficiency. Kmart used to be a top dog--look at them now. Sears was the top dog for almost a century--look at them now.(Not as bad off as Kmart, but not were they where.) Good business practices help all businesses, even the small ones, because it keeps them sharp.
The worm seems to be named because of a quote that the site attributes to Andy Warhol.(ie. 'in the future everyone will have his 15 minutes of fame.') That quote should actually be attributed to Marshal MacLuhan, who Andy ripped it off from. So these worms should be name MacLuhan worms.
so? Maybe the kid doesnt want to add 50 plus 50, honestly, that skill is no longer a needed skill to get a job. Learning math isn't about getting a job, it's about developing the ability to think, to organize, etc. When a grade school tells you that students in 4th grade need a calculator there's something wrong with the curiculum. Yes, most of math is memorization, but being able to memorize stuff is an essential skill also. If we make/let the kids use tools, intead of their brains, to do their thinking for them, there will be a lot of problems down the road.
you're a fucking idiot. he answered the question himself in his own article. what did you contribute? nothing. it's sad. You're right--I contributed nothing, but neither did he or you. The difference is that I had the balls to sign my post.
Here's a question for you. Most ACs are trolls, so why should I give a fuck about anything they have to say? If you say you have inside information about this or that or the other, but don't prove it, because you post anonymously, then your post is worthless, and no more than hearsay.
I've lost many things by being honest,(and untactful) but the one thing I've never lost is my pride. If a job or (slashdot)karma is more important than that to you, then I wish you luck.
I know you're a troll, but.... Is the Linux community so shallow that when someone speaks what they believe is the truth, they would shun them? I thought the OS movement was about what is true and just, but from what I've seen on/. lately I'm beginning to doubt it.
1. Because of the nature of the BSD license(ie. 'compatible with the.Net license') I thought that FSF didn't like it.
2.I know that copyright is not against the FSF principles, but, most people use the copyleft 'license' if they want written material to be freely distributable.
3. I didn't go for the Chinese angle because other people had already mentioned it.
I just think that it is poorly done(another instance would be the recycled material), and, if, the mag is as bad, it will probably die a silent death.
PS I wished you'd used some of your time to make some more legitimate critisisms, because, there are more.
This is just what the community needs to give it a bit more focus, and a more professional image. Let's see, the site's been up for at least 12 days, and about half the links don't work.It's powered by freebsd, which, I believe is not released under the gpl license. It's copyrighted (with all rights reserved), how's that fit in with the free software movement ethics?
This doesn't present any kind of a professional image, and if the magazine is as poorly done, then the community doesn't need it at all. There are well done magazines out there already.
I almost made a crack about left-handed mice, but I can't remember if Mickey is left or right handed...
Actually mice can be changed for left handed use (even though I use mine right handed--point and click ain't brain surgery) as for joysticks if they didn't try to mold them for your hand, there wouldn't be any problem with those. Arcade games and Atari didn't care which hand you used, they had a straight stick with (maybe)a knob on it.

It doesn't matter if they're fair and balanced--as long as you know their biases.

He's talking about personal computers. He did mention servers with 64 bit architecture, or, at least infers it, in the next paragraph.

Not only littering, but giving away $100 bills. I couldn't even get a tax refund, for christ's sakes.
My sentiments exactly. Nothing is better than the human eye for differentiating colors.

This would be a pretty good use for the laptops, that the state is giving to 7th and 8th graders up here in Maine.
