Except we need a revolution in atomic science to make sense of things. How come we can get over 200 completely unique elements with nothing more than three different subatomic particles? And while you're at it, how come they can form molecules that have nothing in common with any of the parent elements?
Seriously, I am not criticizing anyone specific here, but when you misspell common words, it takes a lot of credibility away from your thoughts.
It takes away credibility in some peoples minds, in other's it doesn't. 99% of the time I don't even notice typographical errors in peoples writing.
I wish slashdot allowed me to automatically mod down the poor spellers by a point or two.
I wish I could mod you down by a point or two, but it looks like someone's already beat me to it.
A system to correct them before they post incorrect spellings would be better.
Yeah, we wouldn't want anyone talking about new ideas or concepts like 'hydrino' or anything. Better change it to 'hydrant' on the fly, or maybe trigger the lameness filter! Everyone loves that! The lameness filter never stops anyone from talking about anything interesting.

Yes, but also 'sometimes attributed to Mark Twain' the quote "Never trust a man who only knows how to spell a word one way" as well, so perhaps it would be rather foolish of you to go around misattributing quotes to MT in your anti-miss-spelling crusade.
I probably missed a word somewhere in this post, and that means the trolls will eat me alive. I had a good run I guess.
Ah, ever the brilliant prognosticator. You're right. You misspelled 'digusting' which should be 'disgusting' (or did you perhaps mean degusting?).
now, normally I wouldn't hold that against you, but I do believe that the standards set for others should be applied to self, and thus I suppose you have "removed all doubt" that you are, in fact, an idiot.
Can't you just use your video editing software to do that (ajust the hue/saturation/levels/etc). What I'm saying is that you don't need the same kind of precision you do with, for example, print because every display device is going to be diffrent anyway (diffrent TVs, uncorrected monitors, etc).
Ajusting the colors to 'warm them up' or whatever is obviously important, but its not something you need the OS for.
Oh yeah, just insult everyone and call them 'computer robots'. Why don't I just call all artist morons? or 'artsy fags'? It wouldn't make any statement i might make any more true.
I've used windows, and its become a lot better over the years. win95 crashed a lot, and 2000 dosn't.
But the main thing is, 'hacking away all day at code' most certanly is a creative process. The only diffrence is, at the end of the day you actualy need to have something that works, not just looks pretty. And when I'm coding I don't want to have to deal with my computer fucking up, or installing libraries or the like.
From what I'm hearing here, some of the video editing software for the PC blows at the low end, compared to iMovie. But that's just at the low end, for people who pay more you can get the same software or better.
The fact that you know how to use one thing and don't know how to use another thing dosn't mean that the thing you know is more intuitive, it just means you already know it, you artsy poof.
We arn't talking about 1/3rd of a second compared to a half a second between when you click and when a menu pops up, we're talking about 2 hours compared to 1 hour and 10 minutes for rendering a video. When the vast majority of your time is sitting around waiting for a render, it really does matter what system your using.
Even for doing low quality previews its important.
Also, windows does have color managers (not that you need it for video really) and basic utilities.
And we arn't talking about being six months behind, its more like 18-24 months.
Mega Bit is an amount of information. Bandwidth is the amount of information per unit time. Often times you'll hosting advertized with a figure in gigs/month, and thats a literal term. Something like $20 for 20gigs/month. Just look through these other posts in this thread.
What you mean is $800/mb/second/month, or simply $324/Tb/month, if you saturated your pipe the whole time.
In 15 years we'll all keep or data under the watchful eye of Big Broth^h^h^h^h^h TIA (the total information awareness program). Not only will our data be instantly accessible wherever we go, it'll also be constantly sifted through to weed out terrorists!
Actualy I have two drives tied together with windows spanning (220gigs), but I hope its a temporary solution. In the future I definetly plan on having at least some redundancy involved, probably the one where you take 3 drives and the 3rd stores the XOR of the other two.

Yes, because Apple machines are better then any other kind of computer, so if they don't use scsi then scsi must be crap!
Or maybe apple's aren't actually the best computers out there these days? And maybe those doing high volume data stuff like video editing on them are actually suffering through longer lags then they would be on a high-end PC, but suffer through it anyway because they are blinded by some bizarre content free ideology that causes them to believe one brand of consumer products is better then another without reason?
SCSI for workstations?

Whats the point in having SCSI-Raid in most workstations these days? I mean, ram is so cheap now you can throw in a couple gigs for much less then the price diffrence between SCSI RAID and IDE raid.
I mean, I know the hest drives are SCSI flavor, but it seems like there's so many other things you could spend money on first that would get you way better performance, like getting a Dual Athlon CPU or something.
Yes, its much better to throw people in jail and stuff then it is to spend a few minutes setting up filters. I think the RBL is a bunch of crap, but trying to stop spammers using the law is like stop hackers with the law, rather then with firewalls and other security technology.
What really pisses me off is that that my 'secret new address' somehow got leaked. Since then I've been using aliases whenever I sign up for anything (ie slashdot@autopr0n.com, ebay@autopr0n.com, etc, since I run my own mail server) but I've yet to get spam on any of those accounts. rrr.

A 3 year old can understand geosynchronous orbits. Its a 24 hour orbit. Ohhh.... complicated...
I think they make H-Bombs small enough to sit on your desk.

No, what we need is for you to read a damn book.

Shame on you. Fool me twice... Can't... Can't get fooled again.

Now things are changing. AMD has more or less conceded the desktop to Intel
perhaps you should stop getting your news from slashdot headlines... the Desktop is AMDs bread and butter.

WTF is your problem with Hillary Clinton? You anti-clintonites are so damn pathetic its funny.
I'm having trouble beliving anyone would pay $800 per megabyte per month!

I know that these domains aren't actually sending the spam, but the most spammers set their from addresses to msn, hotmail or any free mailer.
Then you know that disallowing their server wont stop any Spam, so why do you do it, other then your own stupidity?
Look at the docs it seems that you have to check your 'pending messages' folder once in a while.

.25%! Thats better then CTR on most websites. Thats better then the CTR for autopr0n.com (which only has textads, though).
:(. Someone needs to take spammers out and shoot them in the street. Someone other then me.
That's depressing
Wow, and you're only rejecting email from like 50% of americans or so.
From someone stupid enough to think that *@hotmail.com spam is actualy sent from hotmail servers, it's not suprising.
Fuck, I've been beating that for years!

So, are you saying that trolltech would have a lot more customers if they didn't charge any money?
Fascinating...
Stop using these base ten exponents while talking about computers, you're making my brain hurt!
They have this thing called "linux" now. You should look into it.
