This thread in the iSCSI Killer story is ultimate proof that teenagers in their parent's basements all around the world have taken over Slashdot. In the days of yore, there would have been a lot of loud rejoicing at ATA over Ethernet. Today, nothing but a bunch of lame jokes based on gaming by high school drop outs. Yes, the days of Slashdot have come and gone. There is no hope.
You are unaware of the whole picture. The fact is that most of the food industry uses ingredients in their food that are known to increase appetite. Corn syrup, high levels of salt, MSG, etc... They do this because it makes people want to buy and eat more and more of their food. There is a whole science behind this because it's very profitable. With the passage of that bill, people cannot sue companies who intentionally produced food to increase consumption, not to mention "super sizing". Can you imagine if the cigarette industry got a bill passed that said they couldn't be held accountable for people being addicted to the nicotine additive? Same thing.
...the cheeseburger bill that the U.S. passed a few years back. Basically the way it works is this:
1. You are worthless 2. Businesses are of incalculable value 3. Stockholders in said businesses want more and more money so the businesses can't afford to take personal responsibility for the things they do to people 4. The majority of all politicians in the United States government is unabashedly comprised of stockholders and they make the laws 5. The businesses don't want to lose money even if they are morally responsible for what they do to you so they lobby for laws that protect them and harm you 6. You are worthless
The problem is that PHBs only trust what PHBs in other companies say. They don't have the ability to grasp the concepts of the products they are trying to sell which is why many really great things never see the light of day. Sadly, if you leave the company in the hands of the techs, we tend to have little to no business sense and therefore the companies we run tend to go down in flames, in spite of the incredible products we might offer. (See: Digital Equipment Corporation. They had 64-bit before everyone else. Not only that, but they had a laptop that was 64-bit and running Windows NT, OpenVMS and Digital Unix. We're still not there today.)
...many new illnesses are striking these healthy new people but they're being made to think it's normal. Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, inexplicable depression, various systemic yeast infections resulting in a wide array of symptoms... All on the rise. But that's OK because now there's the "purple pill", or Zoloft, or even Viagra. There are a whole host of things the older generations did right and those things are being forgotten. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. (Or is that the old person instead of baby?) All of today's medicines are unsustainable. The moment that this civilzation fails, all these new "super humans" will be shit out of luck. Be very careful about patting yourself on the back for being a new super human. You're in a very fragile place.
NIce Hoempage there dude. Very 1337. What version of Flash did you do that in? I can probably get it from P2P and do something similar. Cool.
(Please note: The original post was humor. Anyone taking any of it seriously is hereby notified to not take it seriously and look at my posting history and journals.)
Putting insecure code that hackers can easily break into on an insecure OS? That'll NEVER work! You need a secure OS under all the insecure open source stuff to have real security. Because, you see, Linux is more secure than Windows since the code isn't ope... oh wait.
Actually, now that the smoke has cleared in my mind I see the real reason behind this. I've been saying for a while now that the government wants to take away the "power to publish" on the internet from the average person. Too many bloggers that have gained enough popularity is of concern to them and their business partners. This is a large step towards that under the guise of "protecting the children". Expect to see even more ISPs preventing the common man from running servers too. Still think we are going to have the last vestiges of freedom of speech in the near future?
House: OMG!!! Teh internet if full of pr0n!!! It's time to do something about this!!! Flitter the intarweb!!!!111111EVELENTY!!! Me: "When you cocksuckers can set up and maintain a proxy server for every school and library in the country, we'll comply. Until then, sit and spin".
...is an outright lie. Because it claims that the bill was primarily backed and created by Republicans. And Republicans are for LESS government, not more dammit!!!
Everyone knows that dejavu goes beyond just a simple object but can cover hours of experience. Not only that, but if you've ever experienced it you can completely recount everything that is going to happen just before it happens. I don't think it's psychic though. I think it has something to do with your consciousness readjusting to a timeline shift. Considering that the metaverse is made up of an infinite number of universes that take every possibility into account and our consciousnesses are just reading through the data in a non-linear fashion, it's easy to see how a slight difference in one timeline can result in a little synchronization problem when you jump from one line to another. Don't believe me? Try it yourself. Focus on one particular small aspect of your reality and think of how it could be slightly different. With some practice you can control your read through the metaverse timelines and forcibly jump from one to the next. The article and the research commented on therein is either a misunderstanding on the part of the researchers or deliberate obfuscation to keep a larger part of the population from controlling their timeline reads. Now... off to Tralfamador to spend a little time with Montana Wildhack. Rowr!!!
Well it all depends on your tastes. Some guys like the plastic chick look. Others find it appallingly horrid. I tend to like lots of looks. So I think Killcreek was cute before she met John, then amped up to "porn star" looks while retaining some of the original cuteness. But hell, what do I know. I like Geri Halliwell, Kylie Minogue, and Michelle Gomez of Greenwing fame, so go figure.
...that you think John Romero isn't that much of a big deal, you'll still come here and post voluminous tomes about how worthless he is. I guess he really DID make you all his "bitches". Gimme some o that Killcreek lovin'...;P
We've got the technology to count every vote in the country. That's the way it SHOULD work. Let the people decide. Who cares if a small town doesn't have enough pull? We want the big cities making political decisions anyway since that's where most civilized and cultured people tend to live. Cities like New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, for example, should decide the direction of the country. Not the wankers who live in Peanutville, KY. I'm sure you'd see a lot more progressive changes if every vote counted as the city slickers would outnumber the rednecks.
Looks like Clippy failed ya dude... It's "acumen", not "acumin". I think the latter is what hillbillies from red states say when they are ejaculating. "Lurlene!!! I'm acumin'"!!!
And you've listed three reasons that only idiots would use dual booting for:
1. Test evnironment. WHY? Why waste a physical box on a test environment unless you're running a signifcantly underpowered box that can't handle virtualization or you have so many machines you don't know what to do with them? There is no excuse to dual boot for testing these days. 2. Curiosity. This implies that the user doesn't know what they want to do with their machine. So the original post that made that statement was quite correct. The people who want to counter him just don't seem to get it or are being purposely obtuse. 3. Because you can. You could go get trepanned to relieve a headache (which is about equivalent to dual boot) but given that you have the option to take an NSAID, I think you would choose the latter unless you are a masochist. This "reason" is probably the stupidest reason that should be left back in third grade where it originated.
In every instance where someone has had to deal with dual boot set ups, there have been tons of inconveniences and problems that are easily avoided by virtualization. Doesn't matter if you use VMWare, QEMU, Xen or that other forgettable VM... VirtualServer. They are all preferrable to dual booting. Anyone who disagrees with me is an idiot.
Once again... someone else who doesn't know what the hell they're talking about. I had a need for dual boot... back when I didn't know what I wanted to do with my computer. Now that I do, I have no need whatsoever. If I need access to a Windows app, I run it in WINE and if that doesn't work, then I go virtual with Qemu. There's no need to pollute a machine with dual boot set ups. Unless the target OS is somehow lacking in it's ability to run virtualized...
Actually you're quite correct. If you knew what you were talking about, you would agree. That you don't indicates that you don't know what you're talking about. Quite simple really.
Well I always go back to the example of a relative of mine who asked "What in the world would some hacker want with my PC"? They don't have a grasp of what access to even a Pentium 100 on a dial-up can be used for. They don't realize that spamming is pulled off with a "death by 1000 paper cuts" approach. How many average users could even grasp the concept of a computing cluster? Not everyone can or wants to understand this stuff. To them, it's just more time wasting useless crap when all they want to do is get on the net and play.

Yep. Now you're just being an asshole. I was being reasonable and you started in on the attack. Whatever. Screw you.

What day is you fucking moron? Maybe that should give you a clue.
Typical asswipe response. You completely skipped the virtual machine reference. Possibly because you don't know anything about computers at all...
