I'd rather my tax dollars weren't spent except where absolutely necessary (say, for defense)
You're right helping other people individually and/or the whole race is ABSOLUTELY out of the question. Fuck them... just protect me.
Yeeah.
A free market economy can make far better decisions about how to spend money than can politicans.
A free market? You mean one without regulation? Or just the one that is controlled by greedy bastards? Megacoporations are ALWAYS into helping people and CERTAINLY don't exist purely for themselves.
Roland generally posts a link to an (interesting) article on a technology site and then paraphrases it under the guise of a 'useful summary'. He offers zero insight and could instead just submit the original article without his unnecessary boring commentary. It is filtered and it is bullshit.
This is exactly true. Roland Piquepaille submits fluff stories to/. over and over and over just to generate traffic to his blog. Slashdot... come on. You can do better.
That is utter bullshit. I have two monitors at work and one monitor at home and both setups work perfect for their respective functions. It really just depends on what tasks you will be doing on each machine.
What about the schools that are doing their jobs? Are you going to deny them technology too?
Besides, internet connections and computers aren't rewards... they are aids. And when used in complement with a working 'basics' system they will provide a superior learning environment. I can't believe you got modded insightful for that generalized shit comment.
Why does/. succumb to these blatant types of advertising. If the article was submitted by a non-Wired affiliated person... I might have read it. At least some other Slash-Advertisers post anonymously. pfft.

I did not know that.. I digress.

Wrong. I missed that quote in the news but I am certainly not ignorant of the general situation.
>2) a predisposition to believe that it couldn't be true, that a rich CEO of a powerful corporation couldn't possibly be trying to subvert democracy.
Very wrong. I do believe CEOs and Corps are slowly taking over and trying to place their people in politcal power.
More over, the intention of MY post was to address the issue of an unlinked quote. I am not going to Google for every single quote that has no resource. In fact, an unattributed quote detracts from the conversation. IMHO the original poster should have included a resource for thier quote. End of story.
BOINC is superior to the previous SETI client. Once things get settled in start running smoothly... BOINC will out calculate the previous client.
Plus, how much of hassle is the new BOINC software? Is it that hard to let it sit and run? It auto-corrects so even if you have errors because something happened server side... the client will check back later on a semi-standard but self-adjusting interval?
Who is getting turned off and why? Do you miss you pretty screen saver?

Yes! Giving them the same amount of money a week later would REALLY prove a point. You stick it to those execs!
He has done a lot of voice acting for The Matrix franchise. You do not know what you are talking about.

1. A starport system was used for planet hopping. Basically, a loading screen,
2. Yes. Yes, but there are some limitations.
Bullshit. The loot system is good enough to support your ship needs except when you need the absolute BEST. At least in beta it was.
Sorry to burst your bubble ... but that document is from 10/20/2004. The Amsterdam, London, etc. outages are happening right now ... by intention. RTFA.
Are you new here?
Why? Are you concerned, coward?
What? Are you serious? His name could be Tom Smith and I would still bash him.

That worked for me. Thanks.
As you are a 'three-digit', I will honor that answer. ;)

You forgot Poland!!
Was that an attempt at humor?

Bullshit. Is that the game we are playing?
>Diebold promised to "deliver electoral votes" to bush.
Prove it. Offer more information or hell, even a resource for your quote. Otherwise your allegation is outlandish and your reasoning false.

I disagree. I play SWG with high detail on 512MB and the game is not a lagfest.
And don't you thing that human exploration team will need some sort of positioning system?
Without a doubt, I would buy a 10 disk Matrix box set before I would buy a 10 or 15 or 20 or ??? disk LoTR box set.
What is important is that a search for litigious bastards still returns the SCO Group.
