... and the fact that that idiotic Irish luddite can be elected as a politician says a lot about those who voted for him !!
Yeah sure the guy may be a luddite and yeah sure he may not understand what he is taking about (maybe being the operative word) but if this gives him more exposure in the public eye as being "tough on crime" or whatever, then his populous move has worked. There is nothing idiotic about that, in fact its a sign of intelligence.
This. Windows 8 was driven by powerpoint market analysts, not people who want to do work on computers.
Two things here.
1st - In order to be a powerpoint market analyst, you would want to do your work on a computer as opposed to, say, a cave wall (shocked me too!)
2nd - Please tell me your source regarding the driving force of Windows 8. Just because you may not like it, doesn't mean you speak for everyone who does work on a computer.
I do work on a windows computer and if I frequently use a program I will not access it from the start menu as unnecessary effort defeats the purpose of using a computer. I will pin it to the task bar or create a short cut on the desktop. problem solved.
The problem with windows 8 is not metro, its the same problem that has existed for every new version of windows - things either move or disappear. Metro could have been implemented better, but its a step in the right direction. I really hope they Iron out the creases in Windows 9, if they don't, well...
"Do whatever the prosecutor says. No one cares and your case doesn't matter. You have plenty of time to do community service and nothing better to do. Now pay me $1000 because I just gave you expert legal advice."
Yeah that could happen, but getting legal advise doesn't mean you have to do anything; you could decide not to report it and save yourself the hassle of being screwed over by the legal system. Also you don't necessarily have to pay for legal advice; you could always approach an organisation that specialises in this area of law who will advise you for free, as opposed to going to some law shark who doesn't give a shit about your case and just wants to bill you for their time.
Find a person who practices law or even better an organisation that specialises in law relating to computers and the internet and get their opinion on what to do. If your going to be doing something with legitimate intentions that could be considered as illegal in the eyes of some people, then you better play the game and get legal advice before doing so. Just like when the guitarist of The Who Pete Townshend decided to investigate child pornography, he got legal advise before doing so (He was still arrested for accessing a child pornography site, but in the end he was only given a caution)
Just my 2 cents...
& the same for brushing our teeth. 'up & down' is for who knows when? free the innocent stem cells. never a better time to consider ourselves in relation tomomkind our spiritual centerpeace link with creation which is rumoured to be unbearded
This
A dentist I once visited said basically the same thing; a gentle circular motion. Why is the summary saying up and down? (maybe its says that in TFA? who knows!)
I can appreciate the idea of an app that monitors your sleeping pattern, but one that aims to improve brushing ones teeth I think is ridiculous.
EVEN BETTER: imagine if every last douchebag Facebook cunt like you fucked off and stayed in your own trendy little Facebook cesspool, wanking to each other's day to day minutia, keeping the marketers happy and fat, and fucking left Slashdot alone.
At least he isn't posting as AC, you coward. BTW Slashdot is owned by dice holdings, a provider of job advertisement websites, so your attempt at sounding alternative hasn't worked.
Just kidding AC, please feel free to join in anytime you like!
Let me extend 3 with - (3.1) NEVER EVER CONNECT TO YOUR WORK NETWORK FROM YOUR PERSONAL INTERNET CONNECTION (3.2) NEVER EVER USE A PASSWORD IN WORK THAT IS USED FOR SOME ASPECT OF YOUR PERSONAL LIFE.
As regards to (4) Windows 7 (not sure about others and I certainly won't say otherwise) has a handy option that if you delete a file you can restore it to an older version despite specifically remembering that I did not turn on windows backup. The IT guy in work who i'm referring to in points 3.1 and 3.2 said that they developed that option...what a wanker
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
including England...because it's English, not (just) British (or European, or Earthean).
Hrm, is there a name for something that comes from Earth?
I wonder if English will stop being called "British English" and return to just being called "English", when/if the Scots choose to become independent...or will USeans then call the English language "Northern Irish, Welsh, and English, English"?
I think the term British English (despite having its own subgroups) is used to distinguish it from other forms of English, American English being the prime example. In terms of the Scots becoming independent, they are having a referendum that will give more power to the Scottish Parliament, but it wont be independence like the Irish have, because its being done through politics and not through war.
I always assumed that when Americans called people an ass they meant the person was a donkey and when the rest of the world called people an Arse they were referring the the derriere.
Slashdot Mirror
(removes glasses, pinches bridge of nose, wonders why he's been coming to this fucking site every couple days for 20 years now...)
(wonders why the glass wearing nose-bridge pincher says hes been coming to slashdot for 20 years despite the fact that it was founded in 1997)
DUDE!

What a strange game. The only winning move is not to play.
What about a nice game of chess?
Sir, with an attitude like that you will never get out of your mom's basement!

So I will make one up right now. What creates and destroys a life at the same time? A broken condom!
It's more about our ability to swear and control our body temperatures
I'm no expert, but I doubt we insulted animals to death. Unless it was a lion or a tiger, I hear they are very sensitive to insults.

Technically, all energy is renewable, at least until we reach the heat death of the universe.
Sir, your comment lacks entropy

There was a lot of it weighing me down, but then one trip to the bathroom later and I feel much lighter!

In Soviet Russia, iOS7 jailbreaks you!
Someone could have ratted him out. Its a technique that has been used since the dawn of communication.
