What's the moderation for either missing the joke completely or failing by making a joke pretending to miss the joke completely that no one gets? Overrated will have to do!
Do you derive any meaning from that? The bible is coherent, maybe as it was interpreted from the "raw feed", whereas I can't make heads or tails from your message.
Ding ding ding. Most of the time when people spout off "Oh, social norms aren't important, I don't bother to conform with them" its code for "I'm a cynical bitter asshole, asshole. Deal with it."
Social niceties only don't make sense to someone in a rational sense because they don't see the rational behind it. They're working on an incomplete data set. There's nothing illogical about exploiting social conventions for personal gain, or in reciprocal altruism ("Hey, I won't smell like week old pizza and make you gag if you don't!")
Unless, of course, the job is collaborative and Johnny-come-lately strolls in 4 hours after everyone else is there and is unable to answer questions in the meantime. I think "core hours" work best, and people time shift to the right or left depending if they're an early bird or night owl. But if someone decides to work the graveyard shift because it fits their vampire lifestyle better that tends to be a problem.
Exactly. Just because you're "odd" or "non-conformist" doesn't mean you'll automatically be successful. My list of friends from HS would probably be in the "unpopular" column, and thier success ranges from doing well to unemployed. Also, generally success comes with the application of some level of social skills, so the isolated loner is probably a unlikely to see fame or fortune unless they're a good novelist or marksman.
Mind posting your country, ISP, plan, monthly rate? Its good to spread the love as much as the hate, and while we often hear about the ones that are terrible you never hear about decent/fair ISPs and plans. Of course, maybe that just means they aren't out there but I'd like not to believe it:)

If you want to keep your involvement a secret you need to react normally. Best way to do that is not tell the guys who react to this stuff (until they get too close, then you tell their boss's boss's boss's boss to put a cork in it.)
I think you can go either way there - sure, the bar has been raise for some simple type hacks, but its been far lowered to do some really cool stuff. Think about what it use to take to get commands over to a wireless robot, and now how many different ways there are to put a very small computer with all sorts of wireless protocols right in there. I'd probably take higher complexity, bigger/better results over the simpler era.
You _can_ modify these objects (man I really hate the word "tinker" for some reason) but you need to do it through software these days instead. I'd argue that being able to add functionality to your phone equally rivals or surpasses being able to pull apart your tape recorder in the past. The real enemy of the "tinkerer" (ugh) are walled gardens and OS level locked down devices that prevent the owner from doing whatever they want with the item (and all the BS laws that prevent you from sharing insights when you DO figure out how to modify them).
Why is it spin? Its not really a shortcoming in CDMA but in phones that don't include two radios. Of course, the end result is that you can't talk and browse the web at the same time, which is how its presented in advertising. I don't think there's anything deceptive - there's nothing "superior" in a phone that's lacking a certain feature, despite the superiority of whatever protocol its running.
Since this is one violation on one utility, can't they just cut the author a check for a different license and be done with it? Seems like $10k would be way cheaper than any lawyer involvement. Unless the author wants to use his util as a foot in the door to force Boxee open then I don't see why this won't be resolved in a matter of days. Obviously if this is a much bigger project with lots of authors that complicates matters a little bit, but it seems like just paying the guy off after the fact is the easiest way to clear yourself of GPLv3 violations. Or is that somehow not allowed?
Depends how old you are. If you're 20 now, your parents were likely children/young adults then, and could not afford the ticket price (which have remained relatively flat, even with inflation). Its primarily their parents who would have been business travelers or could have afforded at that point to take a plane.

Could you explain what you're writing here? It looks like you're writing in tongues. What are you trying to communicate? Genuinely curious.
Don't worry scrote! There's plenty of tards out there living kickass lives! My last wife was tarded, and now she's a pilot!

Note: doesn't count if you just programmed your sexbot to say that. Also, not everything your Mom tells you is true.

Trying to step around Godwin? Say what you really meant.

Because if so the French linux site, linuxFr should really be based there.
What does his probably have to do with anything and why does it need to be from texas?
Exactly. The GP's post is best read outloud muttering under your breath while walking away from a group of people you've helpfully deemed "lusers".

Dude you missed the best ones:

How is that an "auto dependency builder"? Bad link?

Chip features were smaller than 45nm in 1980? Cool!
