I own this film on DVD and while it is a harrowing piece. If you are a into apocalyptic scenarios or were a teenager in the 80's this film is a must view IMHO!

Ballmer To Retire
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
I was thinking that in response to the Steve Jobs crowdfunding initiative to build a sculpture - perhaps we could celebrate this by crowdfunding a giant statue of Ballmer flinging a chair!
There are a variety of solutions to these problems.using alternative DNS is one but this does not work in the case that IP addresses are blocked. Proxies may also work but in the end these are reliant on no blocks existing on the proxies network.Even then how long before proxies are blocked ?TOR seems like a good idea but in reality its a bit slow and thus you couldn't just route all your traffic through it.
What is the long term solution to this?
Does anyone have any long term predictions or ideas about how we might work around this in a way that performs well and is more future proof?
FYI. EZTV is also blocked with BT infinity. And my VM at Bytemark cannot access either
my fear is that what happens when Microsoft or apple start putting pressure on the government to block things like cyanogen or the Linux kernel?
Lets hope he can act a bit better than Hartnell - a large portion of his lines were proceeded with what I can only describe as "sniff the fart" acting. Watch a couple of episodes and you will see what i mean.
to be honest the BBC needs to focus on getting better direction and script writers. These days all the great unmissable shows are coming from the US. A great actor can should not be let down by poor direction or a lame script. DR Who needs someone like J J Abrams in charge imho!
I think he was referring to kids who run their linux machine as root as oppose to badmouthing linux in some way. We've all done it at some point and learned the pitfalls in the process.

"A freshly mowed lawn, lit charcoal and sunscreen are just a few summer smells that are as ephemeral as they are memorable."
Alternatively go outside , mow the lawn,then start a BBQ and slap on some sunscreen - i suspect that will be cheaper and more readily available.
These smells hardly require complex analysis in order to recreate them . We can do that just fine.
It would perhaps be more useful if this device could be put to use for example to capture the smells of fruits, or flowers that are rare or on the brink of
extinction.This would perhaps be good to draw attention to some of the issues surrounding looking after out planet. And also that our childrens children could
learn and enjoy the odours of our forefathers.
No - I dont think thats true - that would imply that losing Steve Job's made an improvement to Apple in some way . I think that since the new poster boy took the helm they have just got even worse.
Android is one thing - Glasses is another.
Talking about the latter (Glasses) - Apple will do what they always do - wait until several similar concepts from different sources have tried and failed. produce something very similar and claim they invented the idea to great critical acclaim.

Can someone please explain this to me as I've heard it a few times recently. What the heck is exactly wrong with the font rendering on linux ?
I've never noticed anything particularly wrong myself. Perhaps back in the very early days I can vaguely remember issues - but its not something thats been obvious to me since any recent memory? Some one said this at work to me the other day and my immediate thought was "I havent heard that one for a very long time , it must have been a while since he last tried linux"
Is this something related to specific areas or certain software packages ? In general use i see no major difference .
To this day I've never seen a unity app running on linux. I heard there is a linux "web player" - i've never seen it in action nor is there hair nor hide of it on the website.
The developement tools are OSX and Windows only. Unity supports linux about as well as adobe flash as far as i am concerned.

please share your trickery with the fake webserver and how you went about submitting shit data to the analytics engines - i would also like to implement something like this.
Cheers

Why does everything these days have to be photographed with that shitty instagram 70's polaroid look ? its not cool ! Bring back decent photography pleas - i want to see some detail on that X-wing
But the answer has to be - like any *athon - its about people coming together to achieve some thing great.
Sorry if thats not the nerdy answer you were looking for.
A while back i wrote a tune on Linux (with Renoise) featuring the dulcet tones of Carl Sagan!

Perhaps i should try and convince Fox to use it as the theme music (In my dreams)

It is - I own "The Day After" which is saccharine by comparison. Still a I like this film too!

Best chair joke so far :D

Yep Christopher Lloyd for Dr Who and the imagination of JJ Abrams ! that would be perfect!
Obviously Eccleston was the true inheritor of Tom Baker's mantle,. ......
Nope - not going to take that bait!

no, you'd be surprised what runs Linux, but they don't say on the box so as not to frighten the horses (as they say)
got any evidence to back this claim up?

I didnt realise the Wii was linux based, or have you hacked it or something?

OTOH for precisely this reason current gen collections of games may be worth hanging on to! N.
