You're right. I quit reading/. over a decade ago because I couldn't get past the narrow-minded (I was one of them at one point) comments about any company trying to do the right thing. Came back here today to see if things had changed. Nope. The guy at the top wants change and it's been happening. Despite what a very small vocal and idiotic minority (on/.) and other websites think.
Look up the lump of labor fallacy. In fact, allow me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L... Labor isn't a zero sum game. More immigrants creates more jobs in the system.
Does the H1-B system need reform? Yes Does the immigration system need reform? Yes Does the L1 system need to be scrapped? Quite probably Does slashdot circle jerk without getting the idea? Yep
Which delusional place are you from? Unless you meant "better" than China which is a different story, the following countries have a higher standard of living than the USA:
- France - Switzerland - Australia - New Zealand - Netherlands - Norway - Luxembourg
A couple of those might be debatable and one can bring the population/area into the equation but if you want to go superlative, you better do your homework
Been on LTS releases since 6.06 for my work desktops. Run Debian on my test/server boxes though. I try out the non-LTS releases on my laptop but not too often. Even then with LTS, I have to use PPA repos since Ubuntu repos take forever to update:\
Well, in their eyes, the T-Mobile purchase IS ACTUALLY improving their network. They are spending close to 40 billion to improve their network. F AT&T.
I am in the same boat as you are. I was an AT&T customer for 6.5 years and then switched to Tmobile after a huge F'up by AT&T (should've taken them to the courts). If this deal goes through, I am going to Verizon. No way in hell will I ever be an AT&T customer.
Totally agree regarding SGU. I liked the show to begin with (watched it last month) and initially I felt sad but as season one progressed, I was getting sick of the bickering. It wasn't a dark show, it was just childish bickering. Then I checked the ratings and it made total sense. Bad shows need to be canned. Period.
Well said. http://goo.gl/fuylm This will probably be marked troll but any news with the word China = I grab my salt shaker and remind myself about a cliche.
Pretty close to what I did.
( (300*300 + 50*300 + 7*300) ) - ( (300*11) + (50*11) + (7*11) )
This was reduced to (300*3+50*3+7*3)*100 - (3927)
It's not hard at all but I learned mathematics in India.
So people who want to goto the Lincoln memorial cannot do so without Google maps? That's like saying
1. I live in Seattle and I need directions to the Pike Place market
2. I live in Orlando and I need directions to the Disney World Resort
3. I live in Arizona and I need directions to the Grand Canyon
now the best part
4. I live in Vegas and I need directions to the strip.
Follow the bloody directions on the road or...bear with me here....use a fucking GPS. Granted, what Google did here is silly and appears juvenile (if they did anything
that is), but Glenn Beck and his fans can go fuck themselves.
Even with minimal addons, FF 3.6 on my Windows machine takes upto a gig of memory after about 30mins of usage/being left idle especially with flash based sites. I don't have this problem on my trust Ubuntu netbook but the version of FF on that machine is 3.8.
In the last one week, I've had to recommend 4 Firefox users to switch to Chrome (they've never even heard of Chrome). What's happening Mozilla labs? (Do an internet search for "firefox 3.6 memory hog"). So, umm, before introducing new addons - why don't you fix your browser's issues on your largest install base eh?
Like the article says, the wish was for the phone being 20k instead of 49.9k. They have it wrong - once they get the bill from their webhosting company, they will be happy to have something left with to buy the batteries for the phone. The host is dead.
You are right. Even the G1 has multitouch capability that doesn't have software support. I've been using the Dolphin Browser (Free!) on
my Nexus one and I 3 it.
People use Netscape?
I upgrade only if I see features useful to me (or support). Used Dapper Drake for 2 years before I switched to Feisty Fawn and switched to Jaunty two months ago. This is all on really decent hardware. Installing the latest and greatest of distributions on ancient hardware just because you can doesn't sound like a remarkably good idea to me.

One of them reads "API is". Just saying.
There's an officer on deck. /salute
Thanks for this website.
Who's embarrassed?

Hehe. I am jumping ship if this happens. userBase--;
Oh so's my brother who shares my plan. userBase--;
Keep the loop running dawg, I'll be here all year.

TLDR version: Fuck AT&T
Just expressing my nerdrage towards this topic in a "constructive" manner.

I guess the server's uptime is about the same as the tablet's boot-time once the /. crowd "spotted" the product.

I believe the other reason is that manors are usually fortified and building walls / moats around how the brain works makes it harder to work.

Get Playon for your PC. Watch Hulu on PS3. Works like a fucking charm.

Get outside - there's the part about the sun and no it won't hurt you...not much and not for long anyway.
A watch tells more than just the time.
