You obviously don't have a mac.
I have one, and OSX/Aqua is no end of illogical ui frustrations. Apple completely abandoned most of their original macos UI design guidelines in favor of eye candy.
blade runner the movie was much better than the book imho. the movie was coherent, the book was a rambling mess.
"2010" is also often criticized, but I thought it was a very well done movie and about as good a conversion from the book as one could expect from hollywood.
arch is abysmally, unusably slow. it's been that way for many years, which implies it may be unfixable (or nobody cares to make it faster, either case is showstopper though).
you can get distributed subversion by using svk. problem solved.
Nope. The violence against jews is excused by "they control all the media/money/wealth/etc", "jews rape babies","jews drink blood" etc. Quite clearly justified by arguing against jewish actions and not merely beliefs.
"Why is it states are passing referendums, public referendums, where homosexual marrige is outlawed by votes over 80%??"
Oh come on now. Certain southern states recently put up referendums to repeal laws banning interracial marriage. Guess what? A significant percentage of the population voted to keep the bans
So when BS like discrimination against homosexuals or jews or muslims come up, I no longer wonder why. The answer is that a disturbingly large percentage of the american population are bigoted fucktards. There's millions of real-life archie bunkers out there, chewing away on their fat cigars and whining about queers and blacks and jews.
Go ahead and mod me down. The truth hurts, but modding down doesnt make the truth go away.
jesus christ. osx's dock effect is one the crappiest and most useless effects ever. a simple highlight/outline/arrow would suffice. instead, you have a crazy dock with icons changing size and sliding all over the place.
this is not even counting how crappy osx's dock is overall compared to say, kde or gnome's panels... functionality wise, osx's dock is horrible.
and the dropshadow effect is near useless, considering that ALL windows have dropshadows. the active window's dropshadow is slightly more pronounced than other windows, but it's only really noticeable when you have windows overlapping each other. the easiest way to tell which finder window is topped in osx is to look for the colored buttons. of course if you're colorblind, you're screwed.
interestingly enough, the use of color as 'active' indicators is a violation of apple's own gui design rules from original macos.
aqua is a step backwards in usability in many ways. apple favors eye candy now over usability. and to think apple users criticize microsoft for the same thing that osx is guilty of now...
expose is needed because osx doesn't have a pager by default. virtual desktops is much better for productivity than juggling tons of windows in a single crowded desktop. in that case, expose is better than nothing -- but only barely.
and now the legions of rabid apple kool-aid drinkers will flame me and mod me down into oblivion.
Listening to someone else's network traffic without them knowing might actually be part of Trigdell's job. Network administrators have to do this all the time.
Since Trigdell reverse engineered SMB in this exact same way, it's entirely possible he did the same thing with BK.
Torvalds should be blaming Larry for the situation, not Trigdell. Larry was the one who was judge jury and executioner. The current crisis is entirely Larry's creation, and he is solely to blame.
This whole episode is just proof of how ridiculous Larry's License(tm) is.

...it's the mantra of win32 virus and spyware authors :-)
autovectorization is nice, but its like a peephole optimizer. it optimizes small bits of code.
in terms of technology, SSA is far more important as it optimizes "the big picture".
usually they call a TV "the telly".

office humor, like music, is universal and transcends culture.

So there's no difference at all.

100% chance.
Religion is a choice too.
OTOH equating it with religious freedom is a perfect analogy. For instance jews being treated as subhuman merely for their beliefs.
As usual Larry misses the point. Sell the server and give away the clients for free. Hell, open source the clients and the protocol.
This is a slugfest that only Gates, Darl, and RMS would love
I disagree. tdr and djb would love it too.
svk. there you go.
100% distributed, decentralized, and uses subversion.
you're welcome.

Err... you can't use dd to read audio CDs.
LTO has been doing 400gb tape (40MB/sec) for some time now.
This product seems to be about 5 years too late to market.
No, that's strategic planning.
Politics is about how to lie and bullshit the public in order to get what you really privately want for yourself.
Fluorescents dont blink at 60hz, the ballast ensures they don't.
They beat compacts, but they won't come anywhere near beating full size fluorescents.
Starting Linux when minix was about

I can't afford software X, and it's incredibly limited anyway. I'll write my own instead.
Not political
Choosing the GPL as a licence

I'll pick a license which encourages other people to write code for me as a byproduct.
Not political
What, next thing you'll tell us is that eating tasty food instead of dog shit is a "political decision"?
