It's more like she's an idiot who had no idea what irony was when she wrote the song. The education level of so-called educated people is shockingly low. Lack of knowledge of literary concepts for a songwriter is just the beginning.
They (she) already did that...MULE 2 came out in 2000 or so, I think. It sucked. MULE is perfect as it is, it can't be improved. Any reboot would only add multiple layers of bullshit...everyone knows what I mean.
Uh, actually, having an acquantance with the man: he is probably slobbering, shouting obscenities at rival Open Source teams, having hurtful paranoid fantasies about how the NTPD team is out to get him, and considering how hateful his next rant against people who oppose him should be.
Maybe this is inaccurate - let's ask the New York Times for a more nuanced profile.
Uh, that's a pretty disgustingly American viewpoint of the issue. Can't we all agree that if you didn't come in first, then you can still be a winner? This has been taught in schools for a long time now, it still hasn't been internalized?
OK, sorry I didn't know that was racist. Can you suggest some insults for Obama that are not racist? Saying "these do not exist" will be considered racist bullshit.
I repeat: belief is the realm of religion, proof is the realm of science. Saying scientists "believe" something is about as authoritative as last night's American Idol results.
Uh, maybe you didn't get the memo? We are in the post-modern era - there is no truth, only different points of view. Sotomayor will represent a point of view that is traditionally disadvantaged, and bring benefit to the groups that she represents. This isn't new thinking, it's been around for decades - maybe you're a mouth-breathing moron who never set foot inside a university?
Yeah, it used to be that racists like Landor would successfully conceal themselves for years, never coming out of the woodwork. With Twitter and Facebook, these people's true feelings come out and it's a lot easier to out racists. Long live the internet!:)
It'll certainly start off as a niche. That's good, niches are usually quite profitable. Your first three cases, I'd say an eyepiece would be too expensive for the work they do. The fourth, however, is spot on and figuring out where that case makes sense is the key to the future of wearable computers.
What's NOT the future of wearable computers is some dorks putting on an eyepiece in a bid to make everyone look at them. Narcissism is bad, mmmkay?
No, it's called "a difference of opinion." It's absolutely flabbergasting how intolerant people are of diverse opinions these days. How about, "I disagree with you, and here's why" instead of mere assertions followed by insulting invective?
This is just pointless narcissism. There's no demand for this sort of thing currently. Instead of furiously wanking while trying to stand out from the crowd by wearing highly visible equipment, these guys should be finding a niche where mobile computing makes sense. It's about as relevant as top-secret super plans for that great treehouse hideout I'm going to build. Sure, it's fun to talk about, but is it stuff that matters?
What a break from the usual parade of poorly-named free software products. "Free Realms" says it all. Free has that double meaning, and Realms tags it immediately as a swords-and-sorcery type thing. Makers of "the GIMP" and other unfortunate backronyms take note.
OOOooo...burn! You really stung on that one. Yes, nobody should trust certs issued by the SCAREY US military - if you install one on your system, they'll use MITM attacks and intercept all your porn browsing, and send you to the BOOGEYMAN...uh, I meant Gitmo. Heck, I'd trust a cert signed by some Sargeant in charge of IT rather than Verisign, who will sell a cert to anyone with a stolen credit card. The Sarge will probably feel the consequences of his actions, while Verisign is all about avoiding consequences.
"Us experts"...bahaha...slashdot commenters...hahahahaha...oh, my sides are hurting, make it stop, make it stop!
And I love how you condescend to include the "average" girl in the elite ranks of "us". Novices should really stop getting so much disrespect dumped on them. "Us experts" BAHAHAHAH ow ow it's starting again...HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
Actually, a gender and color-blind society, built on freedom and transparency would be one of the worst possible things to happen. Would Obama have been elected if the press hadn't focused on his race?
"The study of history is a powerful antidote to contemporary arrogance. It is humbling to discover how many of our glib assumptions, which seem to us novel and plausible, have been tested before, not once but many times and in innumerable guises; and discovered to be, at great human cost, wholly false."

Labor is incredibly cheap. Why do grunt work when I don't have to? I pay other people to make problems go away. I have better things to do than figure out which RAM sticks go with which motherboard, and pulling all the little cables out and returning them. Speaking Chinese gets me immediate benefits, like listening to people planning to raise the price on me when they have no idea I can understand what they're saying.
I swear to God, there has to be some extension of Godwin's Law for every time someone brings up the Stasi. What is the ratio of NSA informers to the American population?
We needed a memory upgrade from 512M to 2G to run Adobe Illustrator. So I call the computer market to send over a guy to do the job. Screw it, I'm not touching computer parts if I can help it. The computer guy comes over, replaces the motherboard/CPU and puts new RAM in. I see him put only 1 stick in, which concerns me. Computer boots up fine, he wants to leave. I say, hold on there Tex, let's make sure this works. I check the POST screen and it reports 1G memory. I tell this to the guy in Chinese. "Hey, you forgot to bring one of the RAM sticks, there's only 1G in here." He says, (jedi hand wave) no, there is 2G RAM in the machine. I say, no look here, it's reporting only 1G, you have to go back and get the other stick of RAM. He says, (jedi hand wave) no, the video card is taking up the extra space. At this point I get angry and show him where the BIOS reports 128M for the video card. He says he'll come back tomorrow with the other stick.
I wonder how many times he got away with this, taking the extra cash for himself. I reported the scam to his boss, but the boss wasn't very excited about it. He was probably in on the scam, too. Heck, it was probably his idea. Most office customers wouldn't know 2G RAM from a RAID array. Just another example of the sort of automatic fraud from vendors that you have to constantly be aware of in China (and elsewhere).
This is one of the fallacies addressed in the article. You didn't read it, did you? Seriously, replace "sister marries a Republican" with "black man" and you get bigotry.
If one cannot be bigoted towards self-selecting groups, then it would seem to be OK to despise all Southerners (who have chosen not to relocate west or north) and all Harvard economics professors (who have chosen to get Ph.D's.) I didn't choose to be a Republican any more than I chose to be a Jew. My family has been Republican (and Jewish) for several generations. Being a Republican is part and parcel of how I was raised and of who I am.
The sad fact of the matter is that many progressive Democrats are intolerant and mean toward those with whom they disagree politically.

So...with linux, you should always reboot upon applying any sort of application update. I weep for the future of our computing race.

What the fuck does "belief" have to do with anything, particularly science-related? Produce a proof, please. Thanks!

Men don't have to be attractive, they just have to be rich. A woman wants a man who will provide for her offspring, period.

The stats are something like 95% of /. website readers never click on the comments, much less register an account and post.
