Free to do anything we like and it helps too when we can beforehand read the rules and determine what kind of enemy we're facing after breaking them.
Lots'o bad guys won't tell if you're out of line until afterwards and then you're hurting. Think society like a big bully which for most of time acts predictably, lays the rules for others and goes '..or else I'll smack ya'.
You're free to do anything, just beware the bully. Stay out of it's sight, distract it and you'll be fine. Only stupid ones get bruised.
They smell like money. They confirmed once more that Hollywood can't stop recycling good movies 'till they're dead. Dead boring and stupid, full of already seen stuff like slowmo action that by now is copied into every other wannabe blockbuster action movie out there.
I liked the first Matrix because it brought comics into live action like nothing before it. I don't like or care about religious references, be it christianity or other. Religions and religious people are dangerous and quite possibly insane but that movie was so good otherwise I tolerated it's psychophiloreligious babble.
These sequels then... pfft. Same action stuff and more philorelig shit.
I've been wondering if qcomputing gives us enough processing power, could we replace D3D and OpenGL with real raytracing engines without any polygons, just pure clean mathematical curves and shapes, reflections, refractions and worlds fully drawn without clipping distances?
And if that illusion makes MS die fast in a horrible way then I'm stickin to it. I'm not interested how good or bad it is, I just want MS go away for good.
Too bad none of the 9/11 Ts were intelligent enough to fly one of those jets to Redmond...
How dare you compare Outlook and a car when comparing it and even a pile of reeking shit insults shit.
Yes it's the driver's fault and it's the car's fault AND it's the car manufacturer's and driver's mother's fault if there's MS involved anywhere near them goddamnit!
But it isn't stealing if you only "infringe" those cds' music into your pockets. Shopinfringers maybe?
Have anyone of you thought of going into music store, asking if you could test if a cd played properly in your "portable cd-player" (external cd-rom drive connected to the laptop in his backpack..) and rip it while chatting away with salesman how RIAA is doing the right thing and how you at least support them all the way.. heh heh
and make flickering visible. At around 50Hz of 240V I bet it will make even 75Hz frame rates flicker in occasions where lights in the same room are more or less reacting with that 50Hz of AC.
If you're used to using numpad for moving around, you can forget TF. All things that should be simple are as hard as anything else in TF, you have to write goddamn config files and scripts for everything, including numpad commands.
It's like comparing editors emacs/vi against nano or such: yes, lots and lots of possibilities but stupid interface that requires you to learn something BEFORE you get to play again. My experience with TF was when my usual simpleton-win32client snafu'd and I tought "let's try TF, it's so famous it must be good, I'll be playing again in no time."
Download, compile and start it... numpad doesn't work? Ok, gotta set up them as hotkeys, where's the menu? No menu, where's help? Several man pages, googling, readymade and selfmade config files, stupid numpad keycodes, x-window console settings, keybindings and -mappings later I decide to give up with TF. It sucks the same way as emacs/vi suck when all you want to do is write couple of lines of text and don't want to waste time learning yet another editor.
TF is for people who don't want to play MUDs anyway, only write scripts to get good fast and bots to get good without much (playing)effort. I decided that it's kinda wrong and stupid when some people spend time coding quests/events/casual management into MUDs and other people code scripts so they can avoid bothering themselves actually playing those features. Other than that, such MUDs are more pissing contests for people with low self esteem than anything else, no joy being a newbie and only thing to keep one going is a dream of virtual demigod status. Oh boy.
BTW, US keymaps give:(colon) and;(semicolon) with one keypress, some keymaps like FI takes them behind shift-key so you can imagine the frustration when people tout vi as a fast editor when : is shift-. and ; is shift-,
So let's see here, one buys expensive word processing package instead of free alternatives like pico or joe only to discover that he can't start writing right away because of automatic cripplefeatures. Interesting.
I want to bring up *text* by myself not any fucking helps, let alone concentrate on other automatics. Oh oh, while you're at it, why don't you bring up some genious plan to turn off all these autofeatures on all workstations in all offices so we can collectively save tens of thousands of minutes of worktime.
Don't tell me, next you'll probably suggest bringing up help for walking since MS Walk "helps" user by inserting automatically extra steps thus tripping user and preventing him to run alltogether.
Sherman responded that most people don't shoplift because they fear they'll be arrested.
He's projecting his own morals onto "most people". That's so typical mistake when trying to assume moral highground ther's no excuses for it. He sucks balls and he knows it but denies it anyway. Little piece in a larger machine, easily replaceable...
You know, most people don't kill stupid RIAA assholes because they fear they'll be arrested.
When I buy a coffee I expect it to be reasonably hot and I take suitable care.
Great. Go find a place where they sell coffee labeled "reasonably hot". I believe otherwise you'd sue anyone including, but not limited to, your grandmother for making you one boiling hot cuppa' coffee. And for no less than 3 fucking million dollars! Remember, justice is blind and equal for everyone. Sue Her! Get Rich!
slashdotting means (too) heavy load on some website due to its sudden popularity because of direct link to it (and interesting subject) on slashdot (default) frontpage.
it does not mean requests alone or flooding something with them.
many people in short period of time using http involving slashdot and flimsy server/pipe at the receiving end
Great! Go search the first live >1kV rail you find, grab the bare cable with your hand and touch ground with other.
Only after that come back here and repeat your "it's not the volts it's the amps that getcha" mantra. How many high voltage circuits there are that don't deliver enough amps to kill? Not many. Therefore: 2kV line kills. Is that simple enough 4 u?
Whoa! How big is your thumb anyway? That Gateway player is at least 3 times the size of my thumb.
I haven't seen thumbsized mp3 players yet except maybe the ones fitted into watches. Add single AAA battery into that and it's going to be larger than (my) thumb.
Be more careful with that hammer from now on y'hear?
Particularly records such as hospital records - staff should under no circumstances be accessing records for any person, ie John F Kennedy, unless required by the customer/client/patient.
If so what's the point of storing those records in hospitals? Hospitals aren't storages for peoples various papers, let patients store their own damn records.
Check this line out:...a bunch of us were just back in from the bars...
When one gets back from bars they're likely very tired and drunk and laugh at everything before passing out. They were laughing because they saw T-1000's penis, not man's. There's a difference there, why is penis attached on a battlebot? So it could load various ammunition, maybe it's some hidden integrated weapon?
Now to your comment, "Were you abused as a child, or are you just extremely sexually repressed?". What is wrong with you? Can't you read that they were drunk and possibly tired? People laugh at stupid things, that's why many laugh at Benny Hill jokes.
You'd be unpleasant company IRL as is so fix your attitude and upgrade your social skills/intelligence before stepping out.
I am glad that the EU will be investigating the cartel of printer manufacturers for illegal price fixing.
(Not so)funny thing, I don't remember any dramatic changes in any similar cases in prices after these invetigations, court orders and fines. Seems like nothing changes, businesses pay fines and maybe even say they're sorry but prices stay the same. Strange, very strange...
These chips aren't the solution for jamming problems. Lower ink cartridge prices are. If cartridges wouldn't be so expensive fewer people would bother themselves using old cartridges. What'd be even better, HP could clearly print expiration dates on their cartridges like there are ones on milk bottles.
Got empty cartridge? No prob, fetch $3 and you get new one, it's just ink in a plastic can, after all.
So many people here seem to get it but you stubbornly refuse, WHY!? Look, ink and champagne, ink and champagne. Think.
If you don't want to think, let me lay it out for you then: we, them, our dogs and mommies, everybody are fed up with expensive inks. We want low cost stuff but can't have it because most people are so stupid that they can't count 1+1 before bying a new shiny sub-$50 inkjet. Manufacturers on the other hand can count 1+1 and shift all productions costs and then some into ink prices.
Every mfger doing consumer products are trying to tie consumers into expensive replacement cycles. We get useless "new" features with useless "new" products everyday. New models of printers for every year, just for the sake of new looks and to get an excuse to make older models obsolete. People don't want that but tyranny of the masses force it anyway.
I think YOU need to get over the "people need to get over the whole "they will see you naked bit" whoopdedoo", because this isn't about the nakedness itself but drawing the line somewhere, anywhere.
In another few years they'll bring in some machine to scan people's body cavities because it's entirely possible terrorists hide bombs in there. Or maybe this machine already has ability to scan deeper than.1 inches when needed?
Now it's nudity, tomorrow it's cavity and day after that it's dignity. Can't you see any value in selfrespect? I'm me, I have certain borders that I won't allow others to cross or otherwise I'm not so much me anymore.
Terrorists have already won when we're undressing for them.

Oh how I'm waiting for the day Gates or Ballmer see the light and say(confess?) something along those lines at some conference speech.

As an arrogant slashdotter I can honestly say that if you find that a problem, then you have some deep problems with yourself.
