"Well, $foo will support $bar, and also be almost compatible"
Hello. This is today speaking. Wake the fuck up and look at a calendar. By the time this hypothetical system will be online the actual production system will have another year of development behind it. Some games are lost when you fall behind. Some aren't.
Yeah, well, I drink a whole hell of a lot, so I prefer automatic transmissions. Sit down, strap in, turn the key and go. No fiddling about with the gear selector for me! I like losing control - it reminds me of my place in society.
Are you kidding? The last place I worked for had nothing in the way of version control or source tracking. Code, compile, put into production. They are still running stuff I coded and there is no source for it. Why? Because I *deleted* the source after each version. They never signed a work-product agreement with me, so I decided that they had no right to any code I produced. They were welcome to the.exe files, though. As you may have surmised I was not a popular fellow. But that didn't bother me - my greatest desire was for the place to catch fire and burn with most employees trapped inside. It never happened, but I escaped and mellowed
Intel is constantly adding new commands and register to the CPU, this is the whole point of the article, so it can easily do it to greatly increase execution speed of ALL programs, not just a few!!!
got upmodded. These upmods validated my belief that Slashdot mods are base on the User ID and the Comment ID - UID is more significant, as there is a pool that is automodded to 5, but CID kicks in on a semirandom scale. Accoring to my reverse-engineered tables this particular comment was due for upmodding. There can be no other reason, as the parent comment was fucking stupid.
So...that debt / potential earnings ratio is skewed by the current economic climate? Damn. It's almost as if the prosperity that was once correlated with a rare college degree doesn't correlate with a common one. It's like maybe prosperity is rare, and they key isn't simply getting an education (in the college sense). Wait...I think I've got it - there is both opportunity and misery available, and education isn't the deciding factor! My eyes have been opened, Lord, and I think I see! Fuck everything else, play the lottery.

Yeah, well, just because they paid in doesn't mean that I owe them, does it? I know, that's how it works. But I feel justified in getting pissed off when I realize that no one is (probably, now, who really knows?) going to cover the money *I* put in.
Me. I fucking hate video games, television, movies, shit like that. Slashdot is more mindless entertainment than I could possibly absorb in a single lifetime.
Funny...I'm considering doing something like this for a database system. My "vision" is a pluggable box that talks datasets. SQL, sprocs, connect in to play with, but input is variables and authentication information and output is datasets. I'm sure it'll have huge holes in both the architecture and the implementation but I still think about it, refine my approach, consider things. Maybe it'll never get started. Maybe it'll never be finished. But it gives me a place to burn some energy.
Many folks have taken exception to your clicking points, but I want to take exception with your touchscreen point. Have you ever actually used a touchscreen for a long period of time? It's hell on the arm and hand involved. As practice, go spend a few hours holding your fingertips to a wall. It's misery.
Nothing should come on a distro. I want my distro free of genetic material. I mean, I know that Linux users have this horrible reputation but I never expected to see this deviant lifestyle so explicitly endorsed.

It's still worth it to post my views here to try to convince others
Well, yeah, but who owns the kernel? Anyone can have one of their own, but Linus is Linux (until the copyright expires)

"It works"
"Sorry, I don't consider that to be an answer"
Get over yourself.
Holy shit.
This is incredibly arrogant.
"Sure, it actually works, but does it conform to the accepted idealogy?"
Goddamn.

Didn't we learn anything from "Fight Club"?
I sure did.
Just because a movie starts out with an interesting premise doesn't meant that it will end with one.
What a waste of film.

It's Lewisville you fucking tool.

Have you *ever* tasted meth? It isn't something you'd overlook in water. Coffee wouldn't mask it. It's not an oderless or tasteless substance.
Seriously, is this thing on?
Fuck, here comes my boss.
Maybe later.
...or leave XP on the current drive and install Linux on the new one...

It took me a bit to get used to letting go of the wheel to return to straightline travel.
In fact, the problems increase as a square of the number of developers. What we need to do is...

Thanks for pointing out my mistake . (Emphasis added)
Mistakes. More than one. But I'm sure that you are quite welcome.

Or you can unload that .iso into a local NFS share and go from there

It's nice to see him getting some long-awaited press. No more toiling in the shadows for Mr. Torvalds.
