the difference between a nerd and a geek is that a nerd is always studying, but doesn't necessarily get the grades. geek is just someone overly obsessed with certain things.
from the mozilla/ firebird website, it says that firebird's developed and targetted mostly for windows - although it's cross platform obviously - but unfortunately it seems that the application's speed/ responsive under linux is quite slower than on windows... quite noticable...
it's very similar to college life. when deadlines are near you pretty much have a 24 hr day. if you screw up your sleeping schedule, you probably wont even see daylight for weeks (especially for fall semesters). i used to work from my apt. i cook, (or order pizza from) at home. typing away and hitting the books from dusk to dawn. it's not "how many days there are before the deadline", but "how many hours are left" and "how many hours i can allocate for myself to sleep - if there's time for that today"
Starting sentences that read like: "I didn't like it cause it sucked", "I didn't like it cause it was lame", etc.
not only that, but these are the same comments that get modded up. i guess this tells a but about the moderators here on slashdot. now it's see this post getting modded down....
people please, if anyone are here to bash the films, provide some valid arguments to justify that they actually thought about it. obviously, for this reason, the next poster sees the comment's stupidity and ignorance, and posts the typical followup like "you dont like the film because you're too dumb to understand it".
Also among this year's favorites are 'fish-skin bikinis, a new love drug, the car that parks itself, and the invisible man
why would anyone need a fish-skin bikini or a new love drug when you're an invisble man? you can already see everything... all the naked flesh you want... and i'm sure you wouldnt need a love drug there... uh wait.. you're inivisble, your partner wont be able to feel *ahem* ANYTHING?;)
I thought that scene was a LOT more touching and a lot less fake than EITHER of the first two movies Trinity-saves-Neo or Neo-saves-Trinity scenes.
i agree. it's because in this one it actually shows neo's feeling of helplessness... that trinity's going to die for sure. you can actually see neo cry (blindfolded though). in the first two, neither of them cry when the other dies...
this one truly is the most emotional movie of the 3.
the fight with agent smith was necessary - one of the many occurring themes of this movie was "know thyself". you could have argued that in the burley brawl in reloaded that neo could have just let smith take over too. it takes time for neo to get ready and know what he has to do and how.
i actually think there's plenty of philosophy in this one. if you have 3 films, unfortunately one has to have the least, and this happens to be the concluding film. obviously you cant really introduce more philosophical themes in this one. but that being said, i enjoyed neo's scene with rama. that was quite interesting. love, karma, etc. it also mentions his role as the power plant employee. recall that this is the same power plant that was blown up in reloaded.
i also dont really fully understand about the machines being a threat - because the only 'smith' aka bane in the real world was already killed by neo. but also by this time the entire matrix was filled with smiths defeating the machine's system of the matrix. probably when he gets out the machine will be fucked? doesnt really make sense how that would happen.
actually debian's unstable branch is much stable than redhat's releases. for example, there's no beta versions of gcc included in its releases.
unstable's just unstable relative to the testing branch, not as compared to other distros anyway. the experimental branch on the other hand might be a better one to compare to if you're looking for that kind of stuff
oh great, so now even the unknown old fat ugly lady on the other side of the phonesex line that sounds like a horse can sound like the unknown old fat ugly lady on the other side of the phonesex line that sounds like a hot pr0nstar!

great, all of us should make sure we disable apt-get -u dist-upgrade in our daily cron jobs...
It'll set you back $15,000 if you're living in a small bachelor pad, but you didn't need that car anyway, did you?"
just like sex and porn, you can argue that you dont need to pay for it, but ending up to be a do-it-yourself job - is it the only way to keep it free?

could this be X's fault?

you want maximum security on your windows box?
go to download the software and uninstall outlook express and internet explorer.

i thought they already had one, called the realdoll?
how about hotmail continously spamming its users and there's no way to block or unsubscribe their mail in any way.
with Gates and Steve Ballmer as Morpheus and Neo respectively, and including a jab at Linux
it all makes sense now!
no wonder trinity dies from logos' (windows logo == windows) crash!
>>I figure if I work hard enough, I will get paid to do what I love.
>Keep dreaming - I've been beating off for decades and haven't made dime one from it.
heh, and they call that the money shot. all lies!
Smith: Why Mr. Anderson, WHY WHY WHY!? WHy do you do it? Why get up? Why do you use opensource software?
Neo: (*expressionless face*) Because I choose to!
how about the most underpaid?
teachers obviously is one of them,
but how about PhD researchers and professors? talk about the most imbalance in intelligence vs income. very unfortunate.

so...um.... uh..
what is the matrix?

anyone know if superkaramba will be included in this beta release or the next?

my windows has the worst code, but i keep the power off constantly on that box. it's the most secure operating sys^H^H^H mode indeed
