Am I the only one that actually enjoys owning hardware? I like my PS3. I like my N64. I like my Atari. I like being able to sit down in the "man cave" and play games on my large tv without having to plug in a computer to it (other than the PS3) and if I want to pause or scratch my nuts or whatever, I can.
I have FiOS at the house as well, so it's not like this would be a bad thing bandwidth-wise, but still. No thank you.
Are you serious? That's ridiculous to the point of being almost unbelievable. If I hadn't had to deal with a similar situation with my grandparents, I wouldn't have believed you.
In their case, it was resolved in just a couple months.
(which is also ridiculous)
From a government worker's perpective, what's the big deal? I mean, you go in day after day and do the same job. No reason to hurry, cause if you do then there's just more files going to be waiting for you. Just like the DMV. *sigh*
but who in their right mind would spend money on space trips in this economic climate?
Well, it's like my grandpappy used to say, usually right before he pass out with drool running down his chin: "People do things other people deem stupid. Now, stop bogarting that bong, sonny-jim, I'm about to get ripped."
The game is set in Africa. Remote villages in Africa. I'm guessing there's not a whole heck of a lot of white people out there in remote parts of Africa.

I realize it's the trendy thing these days to target the data center as an area of concern monetarily, but this is a little ridiculous.
All it will take is one poor geek spending a 12 hour day in the data center for this to be deemed a horrible idea. (Like that never happens)
Seriously, this is retarded. If you do your cooling and power CORRECTLY, you won't have a ridiculous bill and your data center will be at a more reasonable temperature.
I hate really hot weather...you can always put on more clothes, but you reach a limit on what you can take off.
Jules: [Jules shoots the man on the couch, who turns out to be Steve Jobs, turns to talk to Bill Gates] I'm sorry, did I break your concentration? I didn't mean to do that. Please, continue, you were saying something about best intentions. What's the matter? Oh, you were finished! Well, allow me to retort. What does Linus Torvalds look like?
Bill: What? Jules: What OS do you run? Bill: What? What? Wh - ? Jules: "What" ain't no OS I've ever heard of. They have a usable command line in What? Bill: What? Jules: Usable command line, mother fucker, do you have one? Bill: Yes! Yes! Jules: Then you know what I'm sayin'! Bill: Yes! Jules: Describe what Linus Torvalds looks like! Bill: What? Jules: Say 'what' again. Say 'what' again, I dare you, I double dare you motherfucker, say what one more Goddamn time!

Why didn't they name it "Bringing Out the Gimp" From Novice to Professional 2nd Ed Seriously, who wouldn't buy this book with that name?
If nothing else, you'd get some awesome looks in your office when people see it sitting on your bookshelf. (right next to your orange ball-gag, of course)
From what I understand, they're trying to model their AI after Forrest Gump but it keeps causing the AI to sit on a park bench and strike up conversations with random people.

-1 flamebait.
But seriously. how do you expect to make a profit? Why form a company?
nothing to see here, move along.
May as well reply here.

Will this "patch" remove the "I'm going to butt-scoot across your white carpet" and the "I'm drooling cause you said the word treat" genes as well?
Or, heaven forbid, will this treatment have Viagra-like side-effects?
4 fucking years?

Smell that? That's the unfortunate smell of a web server going down in flames.
Nice.
How the heck do they know their "closer and closer"?
Someone not drunk (or less frunk) enlighten me.
and some reserves in the bank (or mattress) should see you through til you can catch up.
Life is too short to work in a job you hate, so go for it dude(tte).
I work in a building near a mall. Several times a week I go over there and either eat in the food court or walk around during lunch.
There are TONS of people at that mall every day.
But hardly anyone actually has a bag, or is doing anything more than browsing.
So far, if I had to spit-ball it, I'd guess 22-24 stores have either "temporarily" closed or just boarded their doors.
No one is buying anything right now. The funny thing is, if you have the money, right now is such a ridiculously awesome time to buy stuff.
In short, your assessment is 100% correct IMO.

Nope, not just you, I sit also.

Cause I just envisioned someone wearing this jacket in a seedy "adult" theater.
if I can relocate my Data Center to a topless beach in Miami.
Dude, have you ever been to a topless beach? (Car analogy time) For every Ferrari you'll see, there will be 200 rusted broken-down Yugos.
I would consider relocating to said topless beach only if you enjoy rusted broken down Yugos. ;-P
LOL, looks like you've offended the "GOD IS A MALE, DAMNIT!" crowd.
Excellent.
Oops, sorry, you're 0-2.
I do gotta say, I LOVE spring time in Dallas. :D

Moderator, you fail at humor.
So how should we be choosing and celebrating free software's past achievements?"
Booze. Lots and lots of Booze. And strippers. Lots of strippers. And pie. Gotta have some pie.
Just a t-1?
Noob.
I look down on you, I've got wireless FiOS straight to God's ear. He doesn't care for it much, apparently it clogs his ears.
Reprising his role as Jules from Pulp Fiction:

-1 get off this guy's lawn.
(apparently you've pissed off the pro-Gimp folks with mod points)
The funny thing is that people have been complaining forever about the gimp interface, but I guess you've struck a nerve.
Why didn't they name it "Bringing Out the Gimp" From Novice to Professional 2nd Ed

It may be a double-edge sword, but said sword is in desperate need of sharpening.
