Yeah, batteries wear out. Mine wore out in 3 months. Was holding a charge for an hour if I was lucky. Totally different situation there, it's not whining, it's defective. $400 device, non-replaceable battery? It was a long process, but they eventually redeemed themselves.
It's about the native resolution for me
on
Are CRTs History?
·
· Score: 1
One thing to consider is people who have crappy vision, like me. I run a 21" monitor at 1152 if the video card will do it, otherwise 1024. Some of my friends with better vision would do no less than 1280 at that size, and one guy does 1600.
And you know that LCDs have only one native resolution. Anything other than that and you are scaling, which looks fuzzy. So even if I go down to a 19" LCD where you can get 1024 or 1280 native, that's going to be pushing it for me. 21"'s don't go lower than 1280 (I think?).
If CRTs went away, I would not be a happy camper. Or sniper.
(It's not visually challenged, it's crappy vision.)
FWIW I didn't mod you down, I don't mod negative if I can help it. (Sometimes it's a must.)
But to explain why I thought you were trolling, I read it as you saw that I worked for HP, and decided to bash HP's products. If it makes you feel any better, a friend at work make fun of me all the time for not buying HP.:)
No, that's silly. I was making a reference to the parent's comment that wifi was like toll roads and streetlights, and furthermore that they are "free".
Oh, wait, actually, there IS a choice -- between two monopolies
I'm not sure which way you swing on this...I'll assume you are anti-monopoly--however that doesn't relate to the point you are trying to make. If you say "choice between to monopolies" and neither is good, then all you have proven is that monopolies can (and often are) bad. Especially the government regulated ones. So we are in agreement there. I am not calling for a monopoly, so I'm not sure why you even brought that up.
which is the point of most of the discussion here
And that would be very good discussion with which I might agree. But not the parent to which I was originally replying.
The Bill of Rights does not include a Right to Wireless Networking.
And actually, while I would agree that most roads are not toll roads, street lights certainly DO have a fee. I'm sure that the method by which you pay it varies by locality. Here in my county my water utility (why water? who knows) levies a fee of $3.50 a month. Some of you may not get this broken down like I do on my bill, but trust me, you pay for it, whether it's exposed in a fee or hidden in property taxes.
I guess what I am saying is that your wish to socialize wireless networking doesn't square with my wish to not pay for you to have it. A sister comment mentioned that private comapnies can be just as inefficient as government, and that's true. However, if the sector is not regulated, and the government is not monopolizing the service of wifi in an area, the market will give the business to the best supplier, and the worst ones will go out of business. If the government does it, dissatisfied customers have nowhere to turn but their gov't representatives. If it's private sector, and some idiot's not doing their job, at least it's not (literally) an act of congress to fire them. And if the service doesn't improve, people will go elsewhere.
I agree to an extent that "if you [have the gov't] build it, they will come". But that will have unintended side-effects. As cost of doing business rises in a municipality, business will simply go elsewhere.
However, that the state would consider passing a law to enforce capitalism is just backwards. Just don't write laws! Legislators don't seem to understand that is an option. You don't have to legislate everything! Jeez! I don't want wifi welfare or wifi regulated monopolies. I want the option of placing my money where I want.
And let me toss a bone to the socialists: If the majority of a municipality voted by due process in that town (local referendum, popularly elected officials, whatever)want wifi welfare, then have that option, no matter how much I personally dislike it. The state just doesn't need to concern itself with such matters.
Next thing you know, a Texas senator is going to introduce wifi legislation at the Federal level. There goes the neighborhood.:(
Copyright infringement however is about loss of "potential revenue"
Not receiving something you might, or might not, have received later on is not the same as losing something you already have.
Ok, you are certainly welcome to your opinion but the simple fact is that it's not your decision to make. None of these "arguments" that I see on slashdot mean much to me. They imply that "information is free". Well it's not. It's only free if the creator wills it so. If the creator wishes their creations to be free, as many thousands of the readers of/. do with their open-source projects, then great! I think that FOSS is an excellent movement and a source of inspiration for others.
But what about those that happen to want to make money from their creations? They want to control the marketing, quality, distribution, public relations, etc of their product (or idea!). And why shouldn't they? Let's take an example. I make a piece of software. It's commercial, and I'm selling to large enterprises. It's a niche market so the market will pay...$3000 for this software. It is in my own best interest to protect the integrity and quality of my product so that my company will do well. If some guy takes my software and then sells it for $49, what happens?
Something like that could ruin me. And guess what happens if this is repeated en masse? You have created a situation where I am actually DISCOURAGED to take the time to create something. Hell, I might as well give up and wash cars for a living. Where are all the good ideas then?
Now, I realize most of you are socialists and communists (look up the definition sometime) so my arguments above will just either go over your head or you'll ignore them out of hand. I understand that. I won't convert someone to capitalism with a slashdot post. But what makes your world view more important than mine? Or to put it another way, why should your rights overrule mine? Because you think so? Now THAT makes a lot of sense. (That was sarcasm.)
Ok, let's bring this back on topic. Lucas made the movie, he can do whatever the hell he wants to do with it. (Like spit out flat dialog and complement it with poor acting.) If piracy of movies becomes commonplace, which has certainly happened in certain areas, people who would have gone to see the movie will instead download it for free or buy a cheap knock off DVD on a street corner. That is taking money from his pocket, and is taking your socialist views and pushing them on his capitalistic ones.
Disclaimers:
I've pirated plenty of stuff in my time. I grew up.
The MPAA and RIAA can kiss my ass. They've made stupid mistakes as far as keeping up with the times is concerned.
"Bittorrent caused SW:Sith to be pirated" is retarded. Pirates did it. (Yarr me mateys!) It's a strawman argument used by sneaky people to influence the uninformed. The MPAA execs know this, they did so intentionally.
To be fair, that's not applesapples. The goal of Firefox is the extensibility and leanness (as compared to Moz). But comparing rendering engines to rendering engines is boring. Firefox is boring without extensions. Therefore I posit that Firefox is only as good as its best available extensions (like AdBlock or any of two dozen others I rely upon), but it is also as bad as its lack of certain functionality that the competition has. And even worse is that a bad (buggy) extension can ruin the whole experience.
To answer your comment directly: 1) FF has a half dozen mouse gesture and pie menu type things. It's confusing that there are so many, and the one I use has 50 million options I've never touched. It rocks though. 2) Custom CSS: Yeah, FF can do all that (and more) with the Web Developer Toolbar extension. Highly recommend that one. 3) Integrated mail client isn't applicable, but for the record I am not a Thunderbird fan.
I'm still sticking by FF though. It's good stuff, and I personally can handle instability in exchange for customizability.
It's crap like this and the AC parent that make me hate slashdot. I hate what this place has turned into. It used to be a place for geeks and technology, but now every damn story gets a flood of retarded political commentary, most of it immature to the point of ridiculousness.
The Republicans are no longer the party of smaller government. They'll keep riding that pony as long as they can though, just to keep getting the votes from those who haven't turned Libertarian yet.

Not even close. The toolbar does much more than search Yahoo. You get links into all of the Yahoo tools like Bookmarks, Mail, Notepad, Briefcase, News, Finance, etc. Each of these are customizable.
Basically, Yahoo is releasing software for Firefox that emulates the Mozilla Companion, which emulates Yahoo Toolbar for IE.:)
Not that I'm accusing the poster, but I think that people predisposed to steal simply like to make excuses to appease their conscience. It's about taking responsibility for your own actions versus blaming others for them.
Me? I'm a reforming pirate. I'm *mostly* legal and the big OSS movement has helped in a big way because I'm a cheap SOB.:D But did I pirate to get back at a company I think slighted me? Of course not! I did it because it was easier and cheaper than going out and buying it!
However let me add that Valve has done things I don't like. For example the Steam client has some glaring bugs that have existed for a long time. The "friends" feature for exmaple would rock if it worked, but 90% of the time I cannot connect to the friends server. But I respect the work that has gone into the game and I don't encourage anybody to steal it. Besides, a friend who doesn't play FPS games gave me his ATI HL2 coupon so I still got the game for free.;)
I say that moral pirates are fooling themselves. Robin Hood my ass.
You don't mind that Wal-mart is essentially a sweat shop that pays below average wages? That they lower the standard of living in the neighbourhoods they are set up in? That it's up to the government or the spouces benefits package to make up the difference?
Well there's really nothing wrong with paying below the average in wages (not that I read the independent statistics you didn't cite). Seriously, somebody's got to employ those not qualified for earning an above-average wage. Then there's the retirees who are probably enjoying just getting out of the house and seeing new faces while earning some cash for antique shopping.
If not Wal-Mart, it's McDonald's, right?
And regarding health insurance, there is no law (yet, by God) requiring a certain level of insurance to be offered by employers. And the Constitution certainly doesn't say everyone is entitled to free healthcare. Insurance is a perk. If you don't like the packages offered, which it was your responsibility to inquire about when you filled out an application, work elsewhere!

FDR tried to alleviate the suffering...by instituting SS...that provided a public benefit.
Ok and what has SS turned into? A pyramid scheme that is looted by Congress. It's dying and needs to be replaced. Support Bush's plan for SS reform.
He did not make
lies, half-truths, and political doublespeak
an Executive Branch SOP.
Neither do the political candiates whom I trust and believe in. This is your opinion, not a factual argument. Learn to keep the two separate.
He did not slash
corporate taxes, and the tax rate of the very
wealthiest Americans, and then shift the tax
burdeon onto the backs of the shrinking
middle class.
Ahem. Did you not receive a tax cut? Thank you. And what's more, your argument here is predicated on the "given" that the Government owns all of everything, and that tax cuts "cost" the Government in lost revenue. I don't know about you, but I want to keep *more* of the money I make. I want to "allow" the government to take only that which is necessary to provide what the Constitution says it should--and not a penny more.
I can't respond as intelligently to the jobs overseas issue, I'm still learning about that. But I think it could be just a phase, frankly. Evidence #1 is when Dell had to "insource" their helpdesk because of customer satisfaction issues with the outsourced provider.
As far as the health of the economy goes, from what I can tell, the left is using historical figures and the right is using current trends. The left are in effect blaming Bush for the dotcom bubble bursting, which is pretty laughable. Bush is doing a "decent" job helping the economy to recover in a tough time, that's how I read it. The current trends are good, and that is well...good. Sorry, you can't disagree with this, it's an actual fact.
From all reliable accounts,
one of the Bush administration's top policy
goals was the invasion of Iraq, from before his
inauguration...
Whoah Nelly! Now you're going a bit off the deep end. I think you have stepped from debate into the realm of fiction. When you get back to earth, let me know and we can continue.
The rest of your rant is characterized by unsubstantiated rumors, personal gripes, incorrect conclusions, and a disconnection with reality. Sorry, they did find WMD's...hate to break it to ya.
Do expect Bush to continue promoting religious
organizations as the only source of welfare
and social assistance.
Oh I hadn't heard that was something on his platform. I think this is awesome! Let the people help themselves!
Our welfare system is unfair to everyone: to taxpayers who must pick up the bill for failed programs; to society, whose mediating institutions of community, church and family are increasingly pushed aside; and most of all to the poor themselves, who are trapped in a system that destroys opportunity for themselves and hope for their children.
Seriously--who will accept this level of control over our actions by "the government"? Universal mandatory autopilot will not go over well. Perhaps mandatory autopilot as you are entering a controlled space...but not absolute control 100% of the time.
