Could this be a step towards one record lable that won't be total asses about copyright and ripping your songs to mp3 format?
Hah, surely you must be joking. The company that is so protective of it's own IP that it's willing to sue anyone who makes a theme that *resembles* OSX? Or sue someone because they called their product "XTunes"?
If anything, this will be the music company from hell.
RH8 and 9 don't use wlan-ng but a different prism wlan driver.. It works at 11Mbs, right out of the box.
wlan-ng sucks. It uses non-standard interface names (wlan0.. great, break all my software that depends on eth*) it doesn't support any of the standard wireless network monitoring tools.
On April 1st, two DJs were arrested after announcing that eminem would be appearing at a local biglots, causing a huge number of people to show up at biglots.
The DJs were charged with both fraud (because it was an april fools joke) and deprevation of business (because they effectively shut down biglots)
It's only a matter of time before slashdot gets sued for slashdotting a website.
If anything, slashdot is repeatedly guilty of orchestrating DoS attacks.
What happens now? If the window is open, you must click on the/a file to see the contents update and reorder themselves. Damn useless if you ask me.
YES! I have an iMac sitting on my desk that I use from time to time, and this is the one thing about OSX that I absolutely HATE. I save a file from a webpage and I don't see it on the desktop, and it confuses me.
The fact that finder windows (and the fucking desktop) don't update unless they have the focus proves that Apple no longer does usability tests.
I just want to mention that April Fools to me has always been to make up BELIEVABLE stories that you can gloat over later - which really adds to more of the fun.
Right, it's not a successful april fools joke until you get convicted of fraud.
Now what if RedHat changes it's mind and renames the release to 8.1 at the last minute? Does that mean you would use it?
Now we see the problem of judging an app by it's version number rather than it's reviews.
Reguardless of the version number, either wait until the reviews are in, or try it out on a machine you don't care about. A version number is meaningless.. even the difference between 9.0 and 8.1 is arbitrary.
I must be working in the wrong sector.. I've never seen a job move overseas. I'm a web programmer. Perhaps it's only tech support centers moving? Or people working for huge multi-national companies? There are plenty of smaller companies looking for people.
My company won't even let me work from home.. they want me in the office because I deal with people from other depts often. I can't imagine they'll ever move my job overseas because my dept is too interconnected to just be surgically removed and placed somewhere else.
1st level techs are highly scripted and you need to know how to break out quickly when the problem is something that isn't going to be in their scripts.
You know, I've always wondered why companies don't just post the goddamn level1 script to their website. I can follow a graph just as easily as any idiot making $7/hr. It'll save us both a lot of money and headaches if I can rule out the level1 tech *before I even make a call*.
I have a Crate DX100 Digital Stack. It's completely software based.. you can download new software and "flash" your amp, giving it new tones and effects.
I'll bet that within a year or two, Crate will put out an amp based on their DX line that matches perfectly with this guitar.
Jocks tend to work cool jobs like bars and high class restrauants or trendy clothing stores which isn't a bad gig.
Yeah, that's something I've noticed a lot on slashdot. Unless you work in an IT dept, your job must suck.
They don't mention that your mechanic and your plumber and your electrician and your contractor all make tons more money than any nerd in the IT dept.
The restaurant business is also nothing to be laughed at. Cooks and managers make a very good living. Same with bartenders, and car salesmen and real estate agents.
Life is full of moments when you are put into a room with people you don't share interests with.. you need to learn how to adapt to those situations to the best of your ability.
Adapting to your environment isn't a bad thing.. it's probably the most valuable skill that you can learn.
Your booksmarts won't get you that raise.. your social abilities will. Your lack of social skills may get you fired though. I bet "Does not work well with others" is on a lot of your performance reviews. Your booksmarts aren't going to help you meet women. Your lack of social abilities may leave you alone. But hey, at least you have your integrity.

Anyone remember that urban legend about chickens heads exploding because of a near by factory that generated an inaudible 7khz tone which resonated perfectly on a chicken's skull?
Wonder if that's what these scientists originally set out to debunk:)
I think the problem is that "smart" the way it is mostly defined is "booksmart"
Bingo. In order to make it through highschool you need to be streetsmart. Playing chess during lunch isn't streetsmart, it's like walking down a dark alley alone.
Common sense seems to be lacking in a majority of "nerds".
Common sense says: don't talk about computers at lunch, don't talk about politics in a bar, don't talk about tupperware at a football game.
If you lack streetsmarts, I don't care how much booksmarts you have, you're still an idiot.

Sunlight and fresh air is also important. Do your cardio outside in the sun to kill two birds with one stone!
Yeah.. because I don't want to die of a heart attack, I want to die of skin cancer instead.
Malignant melanoma kills more people a year than any other kind of cancer.

RedHat was wise not to mess with wlan-ng.

He's obviously got an axe to grind. Writers who compare Macs and PCs and *start out* with a chip on their shoulder kind of piss me off.
Because if he wasn't so biased, the Mac would magically become faster. I see.

These are the people who killed "Ultima Online 2" because they were desperately afraid of hurting the original UO, their accidental cash-cow.
Um, no.. that was OSI. OSI killed off UO2 *before* it sold out to EA.

The MPAA and Microsoft cried wolf again today, and scientists have measured a large increase in general scepticism from the public.
The gestures in opera let you hide your porn faster. It's easier to just move the mouse a little than it is to hit the little x in the corner.
Yeah until you accidentally use the mouse gesture for Full Screen rather than Close Window.
"Pfft. I know a genuine Panaphonics when I see it. And look, there's Magnetbox and Sorny."
I bet this goes well with my digital amp.

hmmm... I never quite got the "coolness" factor of praying to the porciline god...
When you're drunk or have the flu.. the porcellin feels quite cool on your face. Ahhhh..

It's not the 18 INT that gets you stuffed into a locker, it's the 9 Charisma.
Let me tell you this, the more you try to keep to yourself and try to avoid trouble, the more it seeks you out.
Yet you still kept to yourself, didn't you? Even though you plainly saw "If I do A, B will kick my ass" you continued to do A...
My only conclusion is that nerds are idiots, and have no concept of self-preservation.

Pfff... I could even make them by hand, before they started cracking down on correlating expiration date to card number.
Up until about 4 years ago, you could use the CCtest# (4111-1111-1111-1111) to use the credit card phones in LAX and a few other major airports.
I'd say this falls squarely within the parody exemption.
