What a novel idea, some might like the roasting. Oh wait, we have to be incredulous at anybody not liking the things like we do. I enjoy Starbucks, as well as other local coffee shops, but I don't seem to get the regular burnt and bitter coffee that others complain about. Sensitive girly palettes maybe? My favorite whole bean coffee is their holiday blend, make it in a french press at home and mmmm mmm.
Uhhh nope. Why do you think the administration doesn't like the idea of a wall and wants amnesty for all illegals already in the country?
The liberals you refer to, I'm assuming the big party that starts with a D, think illegal immigration hurts American workers. The reason that middle of the road R's like immigration is cheap labor. The more radical right don't of course because as you move farther to the right you typically get more xenophobic.
No, I'm not. Now can you do that? If you can't, you need to start ragging equally on all employers. Who do you work for? Are you self employed. Again, what nationality are you? We'll have some fun with your absolute statements and your blanket judgments of people based on their associations.
OK, Caspian. Find one Company that you are sure hasn't committed any unethical, illegal, or immoral acts and report back with certainty about it. What nationality are you?
I worked at a telecomm equipment manufacturer and was looking for a document on a network share one day when I noticed some oddly named directories. The directories were available for me to view so I figured that if I had the correct permissions, I can go inside those directories. Inside I found technical documentation, trade secrets, etc... for the competitors products that wasn't supposed to leave the competitors campus. I pointed out to my direct manager that permissions probably should be changed on that directory.
I've been using Linux since kernel version 1.2.13....slack 2.x/3.x??? My first Linux distribution came in a huge yellow book that was nothing more than man pages, HOWTOs and FAQs printed out and bundled. I find your first argument to be a joke and it appears you didn't really read what I wrote. It is always going to be the year of the Linux desktop, it has been for the last six but it is always in the future. Until I can walk in to any store and purchase a piece of hardware, and I know that the hardware will have Linux support without asking, I cannot consider Linux a desktop replacement or a mainstream OS. Your personal beliefs about Microsoft don't have any bearing in the real world.
People will continue to use Microsoft. Microsoft will phase out W2k and XP and you will forced to Vista. Maybe the Mac will mount a serious challenge but nothing is close to surplanting the hardware support that desktop Windows has and that a commercial mainstream OS needs.
Do you personally know any police officers? I'm guessing not from your holier than thou attitude. Tell me, how do you know what crimes have been prevented and how they were prevented? I've never had a car stolen and I've owned 6 of them, I must be smarter than you to not get my car stolen?
Did you read what I wrote? Go on a ride along in your average city and see what they deal with on a daily basis. Until you do, shut the fuck up whiner.
Thank you for replying. The man was beligerent, asked to leave and didn't. Oh that poor man, not complying with a legal order. Why do you think it was that he couldn't comply with a simple rule and chose to make an issue out of it? So a bunch of whiners can scream, POLICE BRUTALITY!!!! He was asked for ID, couldn't provide it and asked to leave, instead he escalated the situation. He was asking for it. He did sound out of control on that recording. He made it racial, notice how he screamed about the Patriot act. Don't be so easily swayed you fucking sheep, he created the situation. Go ahead and do a ride along with a police officer for one day or one week and then you will get an idea of what they deal with day in and day out. For all those calling the police facsists or pigs or other derogatory terms, don't every call on public assistance when you are in need of help.
That is specious reasoning. A person can be absolutely outstanding in one field and suck in others. Now if you want to argue that the fat person may have emotional issues that they deal with by over eating you might have a more plausible thesis statement. Hell I've known lard asses that were absolutely brilliant people but it was obvious that they ate for emotional reasons.
No... it is the people, the 99% of the population that want to just buy a product that does what they want it to do. For a second, move out of the computer realm and think about how the average person buys anything. Do you think they research all the available products, educate themselves on the technology and go with the best fit? If I want to run a specific piece of software and it only runs on Windows, I run Windows. If I want a specific piece of software that runs only on Mac OS X, I get a Mac. It has nothing to do with ideology, and so many Linux users just don't see that and don't understand how their ideological geek arguments have no sway with the general population.
It's called a free and open market. Maybe you've heard of it?
Yeah, I have actually. Being condescending isn't a good way to start out.
>One target needs to emerge with the kind of support that Windows has down the whole stack.
No it doesn't. Linux has plenty of support. And if you like the M$Windows version of support then I suggest you use M$Windows and stop wasting time on something you don't understand.
I've been using Linux since 1.2.13. My first distro was Slackware, had a Walnut Creek subscription. It is attitude likes yours that keeps people away. It is obvious that you fancy yourself as a Linux elitist, just the kind of public voice that turns people away. Your sig is irrelevant.
I love Linux. I use Linux. Your 'spirit' argument and the 'single-virus-able-to-shut-down-most-WinXP-and-som e-win2K-systems' comment shows exactly why I believe Linux will remain a niche player and how it is that a lot of Linux users don't understand why it is that companies make the decisions they make.
No coherent vision with a bunch of competing vendors. One target needs to emerge with the kind of support that Windows has down the whole stack. I've been hearing about Linux taking over this and that for 6 years now, I only see it replacing UNIX.
I don't need a link. I collect webanalytics for 30 domains, it runs 95% Windows 4% Mac 1% other of which Linux/UNIX are a part of. I can go to any hotel lobby, coffee shop, any public place with free wifi and I will find PC's running Windows or Macs but I don't see any KDE/GNOME/Insert Window manager running on any screens. Any time I go out with a laptop running Linux, I'm the only one I see running it. I've been hearing about the flood since 2000, wake me when it comes.
Funny how Linux on the desktop has been stagnant or declined since I've been reading that. It is taking over the UNIX workstation market, it isn't making a dent in the installed base of Mac and Windows desktop machines.

He wrote a driver for a chipset that is used in a lot of cameras. He didn't write hundreds of separate drivers.

Math classes??? What do they think this is? A science degree? Oh you want a Info Systems degree... that is in the business building.
That isn't what I asked.
How long has Vista been out? Are you willing to put money on the number of exploits?

Oh is that all.... I though it would be as easy as viewing the list of available networks and typing in the password.

Ironic isn't it? It is OK if he demeans somebody different from him, just isn't OK the other way.
