What else IS there besides "the local desktop"? X11 is next to useless over any kind of restricted bandwidth connection, and not really any more useful over a LAN connection. What good does it provide in today's world?
Yeah who needs security or sandboxes or any of that complicated stuff? Just throw all the apps in a directory and let them sort things out for themselves.
The model of the web as an OS has been passed around since the turn of the century. The dot com bubble tried it. Oracle has tried it, repeatedly. Microsoft tried it. Every attempt so far has failed, and it was by people with far more resources than the Firefox team. I could type out a long list of reasons why this is, but what's the point? History tells us that no matter how promising it looks, and how pretty it is, it's destined for the scrap heap.
The same could be said about airplanes and aviation, before Orville and Wilbur Wright finally took off and flew a couple hundred yards in their 'scrap heap.'
....for the start screen. And this is only if the disk check takes less than an hour though, otherwise the memory leaks pile up into an unrecoverable crash, requiring console access to manually delete the user profile.
I agree with you. The Jews have produced a disproportionately large number of intelligent, creative, wonderful people, throughout history immemorial. They have also produced a metric shitload of assholes. Such is the way of things. The moral high ground is not based on intelligence or acclaim; there are intelligent and creative people out there doing evil just as others do good. The Nobel prize, as a measure of achievement, to me is nearly meaningless due to politics. There are plenty of metrics by which I could claim the Scottish are the best race on Earth, if I chose to do so, which likewise could be shown to be irrelevant or unimportant by someone else working from a different perspective. (We do beat everyone except the Russians--barely, and including Jews, significantly--in levels of average househeld wealth in America.)
Yes, but if you're an attention whore and you flaunt your (however tenuous) attachment to a high-profile group that causes "The Man" to "look bad", don't be surprised if the attention you get isn't the kind of attention you wanted.
Yes, I agree you shouldn't be surprised....if you live in Soviet Russia....or if you're completely aware that the U.S. is now under the rule of fascism. But for the average citizen who still thinks this is the "Land of the Free" etc, it certainly should be a surprise. Unfortunately they're too busy chanting right along with the "WELL YOU SHOULDNT BE SURPRISED LOL" fucking cocksuckers who sit amongst us, cheering on fascism.
or to release sensitive data. and if he's spokespersoning for Anonymous, he's an accessory at the least. they could also go RICO (Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organization) on Anonymous, it's a great little Swiss Army Lawbook for repeat offenders. so it's definitely FBI material, and Brown might well find himself without much of a legal defense.
How can one be a "spokesman" for an "organization" that doesn't actually...you know... exist?
Hard drives can be destroyed in seconds. You do have to bust down the doors to get them in time... (though that should be saved for actual criminals, not internet trolls IMO)
Define an "actual criminal"? Would you say people who are peacefully growing plants inside their own house and causing no harm to others are "actual criminals"? Because no-knock warrants are becoming more and more commonplace in the War on (Some) Drugs. How easy do you think it would be to destroy an entire garden full of plants leaving no trace of evidence? How much of an effect do you think the police announcing their presence beforehand would have on that?
nd when you bust down doors you have to have guns because you don't know if the people inside have them and will react.
Mother fucking bullshit. Stop repeating police state propaganda. Only if cop is a fucking moron would they have no clue whether someone is likely to be violent, etc. What a cheap, flimsy excuse to throw away our rights in favor of more police power.
I agree on over-application of force and wouldn't disagree with the argument that the raid may not have been necessary in the first place, and I personally hate and distrust cops and want their powers scaled back...
So why do you keep arguing and apologizing for them?
...but if law enforcement wants your HD without going through the use of a subpeona and the attendant risk that you'll wipe it first, this is really the only way for them to do that.
Which is more important and worthy of protection: my rights, or the cops' God-given need to arrest and imprison people for non-violent "crimes"? It's either one or the other. Choose.
Yeah, it's standard now that we live in a police state.
Hint: if erasing a hard drive is all that it would take to completely get a "criminal" off the hook for his "crime", and if police announcing their presence before barging is enough time to erase that evidence, then you know what? No crime was actually committed.
And that's why you don't understand what it means. It doesn't mean LITERALLY steal. It means you find something you love, and understand it totally... then you re-make it into something that is like it was but is wholly yours.
Yep. And bittorrent makes that much, much, much easier!
Thanks bro I enjoyed your commentary. See, here's the thing with messiness. I can tell you all about it, because I was there and saw it everywhere. I saw the Humvee with the back end blown off by an IED, and the soldier in the back who was shoved forward with such force it destroyed his knees and legs. I showed up just a couple weeks after the insurgents nearly overran the compound, taking shelter in a nearby farmhouse and putting a bullet through the back of the platoon leader's head, who continued to lead his men lying on his back with a map over his face and radio held up to his ear by others while the doctor kept him from bleeding to death. I came to fix their satellite system, and before I left I'd helped and aided and succeeded and jumped for joy right along with them when when we blew up a truck that looked suspicious. We thought it was carrying a mortar crew, but really, our thinking was shoddy and adrenaline fueled and just plain wrong. It was just a truck with some farmers in it.
This was in summer '07, around mid-late September, which I remember because I spent my birthday at this little shithole FOB called "Baylough." It was on a hill overlooking a depression, arid scrubland with mountains all around. We'd just crammed ourselves onto the little picnic table in the "chow hall" (more like a dirty closet) and started eating when the first mortar round of the day exploded just outside the inner compound wall, maybe 30 yards away. We all stared at each other for a split second then jumped up and ran out to our positions. There was a small bunker just outside the inner wall the contractors usually ran to, but this day for some reason I decided to run up on the wall with the soldiers. I'm glad I did because shortly after I got in position up there, another mortar round came in not far from where I would have been standing, throwing rocks all over a couple of the other guys who had sat down along the wall and putting a hole in the water tank nearby. This was somewhat surprising because most days the incoming mortar fire was wildly inaccurate; they really had us dialed in that day.
(The insurgents' typical procedure was to fire off a few rounds, then pack up their gear and go. According to what I gathered from the guys on the FOB, they had installed a new radar system which detects incoming mortar rounds, and it allowed them to target those mortar crews and fire back, taking them by surprise and killing a number of their best mortar crews, before they wised up and started moving frequently. As a consequence their accuracy had gone way down.)
So after a time, the enemy stopped shooting and presumably packed it up and left. Our theory was the enemy was using local taxis to ferry themselves around. Looking back, everyone was really just itching for a target. Their theory could have some basis on logic but by no means did we have any basis to conclude that the truck we picked out to fire upon was actually enemy insurgents. It was just a truck, driving down the highway behind the little town. It all looked so small through binoculars and being so far away. So did the massive crowd of people who showed up for the funerals the next day. I held the binoculars and kept an eye on that truck while one of our good ole boys (who had been the beneficiary of a round of simulator training on this new weapon and thus was the designed expert) zeroed in on the target. The Javelin is a shoulder fired missile which can target both air (helicopters) or land (tank) targets. It is specifically designed to kill tanks, and it does this by flying way up in the sky and zooming down at high speed through its weakest point: the roof. This old Russian farm truck didn't stand a chance.
The soldier damn near stepped off the roof when he pulled the trigger, expecting blowback; nope, the spring loaded missile shot out of its disposable tube a couple dozen feet before the rocket motor then ignited, sending it zooming off at incredible speed and disappearing off into the sky. This is a true fire-and-forget missile syste
Believe me bro, I know exactly what's going on. I got my eyes and ears WIDE open. The reason I made the post is simple. I'm building a case....just in case.
Hi FBI! Nice to see you have nothing better to do. Go fuck yourselves.
Slashdot Mirror
It's the clients (i.e. there toolkits) which have to learn to switch between servers.
Sounds trivial.
Why in the world would I ever do that?
What else IS there besides "the local desktop"? X11 is next to useless over any kind of restricted bandwidth connection, and not really any more useful over a LAN connection. What good does it provide in today's world?
I have a clue. The fool is you. X11 is an antiquated piece of shit.
Yeah because NOBODY EVER FIXES BUGS and NOBODY EVER LEARNS and NOTHING EVER CHANGES.
Correct. ....We're talking about Mozilla, right? Yep.
Yeah who needs security or sandboxes or any of that complicated stuff? Just throw all the apps in a directory and let them sort things out for themselves.
I call it......Darwin.
I think OP wants more than just bash. Real X server is great to have. Access to all applications in Debian's repos is great.
Yeah, I totally want a phone so that I can recompile shit and curse at Pulse Audio.
That's about 13TL7.2C erklons in my neck of the woods. You humans and your crazy measurement systems.

...is the idea I would ever use an operating system written by these assclowns. lol, no thanks
I'm pretty sure Jobs meant he would destroy Android by innovation, not through spurious lawsuits. I could be mistaken.
Anyone got a transcript of this guy's ramblings so I don't have to spend twenty minutes on the video to figure out where he fucked up? Thanks.

The spokespeople of multinational crime syndicates
Anonymous? No, actually, that's just a word. Not an organization. Not a crime syndicate. A word.
For bonus points put some long spikes at the bottom.
And that's why you don't understand what it means. It doesn't mean LITERALLY steal. It means you find something you love, and understand it totally... then you re-make it into something that is like it was but is wholly yours.
Yep. And bittorrent makes that much, much, much easier!
No, we don't eat glass. I'm not sure how that rumor got started. Y'all folks will apparently believe anything...
You don't know what you're talking about
