Yeah I felt stupid explaining it. I just thought that "You sound like Carlin" was too subtle. Usually I get modded down into oblivion as offtopic when I have that feeling.

With friends like that I think you need to learn to chew your food well before swallowing. It also sounds like you should learn to hide the soda well and get couch covers for them to sit on. But maybe I'm just projecting a stereotype.
I choke on things all the time. One time I choked on some carrots and since there was no one around I had to give myself the Heimlich on a railing on a set of stairs. That sucked. Not only because it was a little frightening but also because it made a big mess on the stairs that I then had to clean up. Perhaps you should learn this trick, too.
*sigh*
It sucks to have to be conscientious when chewing. I would have thought evolution would have taken care of that business for me, but apparently NOT.
STUPID ancestors! Why didn't more of you CHOKE TO DEATH so _I_ don't have to WORRY about it!? I'm an AMERICAN and I shouldn't have to DEAL with this shit!

It's gonna be awfully hard to continue to punch them in the stomach if you also continue to keep cutting off your arms.
You sound like Carlin; everyone else on the road is either an asshole (driving too fast) or an idiot (driving too slow).
And if you can't find the file area at goatse.cx, then you're obviously not looking hard enough. There's a gaping portal to the dump right in the middle of the page.
It's a discussion. If the discussion digresses then the second response can no longer be offtopic.
The Slashdot system is broken, IMO, in this respect. The informativeness/funniness/offtopicness needs to be scored in a global and local sense.
I get marked down all the time for responses like this. It's offtopic to Modern Retro computing, but ontopic to your question. It's all a matter of what you're trying to promote on the site, strict adherence to discussion about the main topic, or discussion in general.
I don't think the blue and red lasers would be as difficult as the agreement to only blow up hardware and never actually kill anyone in a single battle.
Your point is fine and all, but he was selling "a line" of 413 pirated games.
In other words, nowhere does it say anything about him having actually sold ~400.
You could have used 5 games and been much more effective.
In all reality, though, he probably sold over a thousand actual games. That'd be like five copies of the popular ones and zero of the crap. That number's purely hypothetical, though, too...
Bringing Alpha into the picture here is like pulling out the ace card.
Yes, Alpha died an early death. We all mourn. Let it go.
Intel is a different company. They are an "elder god". They have the capital and the foresight to present something at the time where it might be more proper.
And, if they don't, well we learn something (as I've said).
The point is that people have a lot invested in legacy software, and they don't like being told they can't use it with their new machine. This is what Itanium sales reflect.
My father has every Rolling Stones album ever put out, on vinyl.
He also has a CD collection, with very few Rolling Stones albums on that medium. If he wants to listen to an old Stones album he'll put it on his "record player" and listen to it. It still works.
I think that at this point the DVD/VHS "analogy", if there ever was one worth talking about, falls apart.
That's true, but most people aren't willing to suffer the inconvenience of having 2 computers that they must switch between in order to perform certain tasks.
I agree with you. But my father also didn't buy a CD player until it was pretty hard to find vinyl anymore. I think it will be pretty much the same way with 64 bit processors. The people who care will buy two. The people who don't want to bother won't. There are enough of both. Eventually enough people will buy into the new format that the old one will wither away. Backward compatability is not absolutely necessary to make the transition, and the situation is nowhere near as drastic as rendering old hardware disfunctional.
It's hard to find new software for Win 3.1. That's no big deal to a lot of people.
I'm not going to bother quoting the last part. I think we basically agree. The difference is in the severity of the danger of the situation that Intel faces. If Itanium fails, well then we've learned something about the processor marketplace. If, on the other hand, it languishes for a while, comes out in a new form (faster, better, stronger) and (after two or so more years) builds up enough inertia to be bought fairly heavily then it will be about as smooth of a transition as was made from vinyl to CD's.
I basically just didn't get the part about DVD making VHS _not_ work. Remember that Intel is still making Pentium IV's, even as Itaniums are being pushed out to seed the marketplace.
It sure seems to me that you would like to think that there are many others like you.
Perhaps you should talk to your family and other close friends about the way you feel. You may find that by "coming out of the closet" that you will not be so angry at the world around you.
This is not the '50s anymore, man, you're not so repressed anymore.
No one "gets" that kind of humor around here. You only come across as a hot-headed fanatic.
In order for this to come across effectively, in the future, you should probably append lots of smiley faces and whatnots so that you are still taken seriously and not completely ignored for not presenting your point properly.

It's potentially WORTH the EFFORT!
Wow. I bet your schwartz is not nearly as big as mine, though.
They take a 10% cut from what I've seen.
You, my good man, are a god.
However, it still doesn't solve the problem of overcomplicated webs of dependencies and the lack of a single standard package system.
The answer to this statement lies here:
That sounds really cool -- I'll have to check it out the next time I try a deb-based disto [sic] .

What was the point of THAT comment?
I just wanted to add a counterpoint. I've found the Linux software raid5 "performance" to be quite adequate.
