Damn, has anyone had good experiences with siebel? I had to use siebel once and had the same problems you saw (slow, poor interface) plus a few more that you didn't mention, like it crashed often, and ocassionally lost data. It was at the point where I'd enter in all of the information in notepad and save as a text file, just in case siebel lost it.
Seriously, I want to know if anyone has seen siebel actually work well. It blows my mind that software that's so poor can make money. I thought that what I used was maybe just set up poorly (the guy admining it seemed like an idiot). Has anyone seen siebel work even somewhat acceptably?
Why hasn't everyone started just ignoring everything ESR says? He is obviously a nutcase. Yeah he wrote one semi-interesting essay about open source, but what has he done lately? The only reason to keep him a part of "the movement" is that RMS looks like a reasonable person next to him.
It is relevant since ESR once bragged up how rich he is (and how he wasn't going to let that change him, etc) when he was given some LNUX stock. He's not bragging too much about that anymore.
I saw a documentary on how a scientist used lasers to ignite tritium into a fusion reaction. Unfortunately the reaction got out of control and nearly wiped out New York City. It was a good thing Spiderman was there to stop him.
Haha, I can remember the exact same things being said about 2.4 being a lame duck (or maybe greased turkey?) It wasn't until around 2.4.15 or so that everyone started using it, though redhat used a heavily patched version a little sooner.
And if you want to be on good terms with a corporation, don't do a hatchet job on its CEO. Duh.
Actually, I'm pretty annoyed by celebrities constantly complaining about being harrassed by the media. Really all they have to do is just stop talking to them. There was a celebrity (I think it was George Clooney, but I could be wrong), that got annoyed with a tabloid. He did a little research and found out the tabloid was owned but the same corporation that owned more legitimate media outlets. He refused to talk to all media owned by that corporation. The tabloid quickly left him alone.
So is that wrong? Should celebrities be forced to talk to all media, simply because they are a celebrity? or is it ok to avoid tabloids that behave unethically?
What google is saying is, behave like a tabloid, and we'll treat you like a tabloid. Why do you think that Google, MUST talk to all media ALWAYS. Don't they have a say in who they talk to?
Oh, I agree. I don't havew any problems expressing myself without swearing. But I don't get all uptight is someone does swear around me. If someone is swearing excessively, I don't get offended, though I may lower my opinion of the person swearing. Just the same as I'd feel if someone brought up an innapropriate topic.
But I find rules against swearing to be stupid. Like George Carlin says, they're just words. We've all heard them before. It's ridiculous that they have to use Frack or Frell or whatever instead of Fuck. We know thats what they mean. In real life people use the Fuck. So on a TV show when someone is in an extreme situation you expect Fuck, but get Frack instead. It kinda takes something away, you know?
This reminds me of George Carlin's Seven Dirty Words. You can't say Fuck, but you can say Frack. When you say Frack, everyone knows that you mean Fuck, everyone mentally replace Frack with Fuck. But still its ok to use Frack everywhere on TV, while one Fuck will get you into trouble with the FCC.
You sir are unaware that the ban on firearms in Japan were quite successful. Until, as the grandparent mentioned, the US showed blasting off the guns (oh, you americans and your guns...).
Are you suggesting that a ban on space weapons won't work because an extra terrestrial Commodore Perry will show up blasting death rays?
You ever see Mark Hammill's appearance on SNL years ago? There was a skit where some geeks had taken him prisoner and were auctioning him off as a Star Wars collectible. Harrison Ford called up (sounding like he was drunk) and bought him.
Remember your kid would have been completely oblivious to the sex scene (and unable to access it) if Hillary Rodham Clinton wasn't blabbing about it all over the news. So who is more responsible here, Rockstar, or a politician making a big deal over nothing to score political points? The politicians even said the name of the mod for easy googling, very nice of them, eh?
No way to know. Maybe if the US didn't enter WWI, a more equitable armistice would have been negotiated with Germany, and then the Nazis wouldn't have risen to power, and WWII wouldn't have happened. Then again, maybe not. Alternate histories can be fun exercises sometimes, but there is no real way to know the result of a what-if beyond a couple of years.
Likely the US would have taken the French territories by force, like they did with native american territories, spanish territories, mexican territories, and attempted to do with the remaining british territories in 1812. Louisianna would have been pretty easy pickings since france really had no interest in defending them and after the defeat of napoleon, they didn't have the capability to defend them.
effect on world politics? American politics, maybe, but the effect on world politics was it gave napoleon a little pocket money for a couple of years. A few years later he was gone and therefore the louisiana purchase had no further effect on world politics.
Yeah, and its hurting MS too. If you have a webserver that you have no physical access to, having a GUI is just a waste of resources but having a solid CLI is imperative. But for a desktop system A GUI is important but a CLI is probably not as important.
I personally like having Ubuntu for my desktop and Debian stable on the server. I don't want to be forced into running debian stable on my desktop or running ubuntu on my server. Choice is a good thing.
But I gues the MS philosophy is that XP should be good enough for everyone.

dude its 1228800 seconds for the total picture. Thats a pretty long time.

How about: Track everything you do online and sell that information to marketers?
Yeah the optimus will be great for playing Duke Nukem Forever on.
I think if your furniture is made out of Fedex boxes you aren't going to have many women staying the night. Even if you're willing to pay them.

But this activation scheme and MS giving out legit copies to those that report the small shops will stop a lot of piracy.
Yeah, these activation schemes suck. But its not really impressive that there are ways around it.

Yeah, the most important thing is that is has the words "DON'T PANIC" written on the cover.
Shit, I didn't know Martin Riggs was on /.
"I'm not a bad sprite I was just programmed that way."
You have a spelling error there. It's spelled "RIP-OFF" not "earn".

Its an activity taking place in Canada. The part about having beer afterward is implied.
mistakes, flaws, whatever. Either way if you want to make a joke about it I think its fair game.
