Please learn this, or the venom of 1000 Slashdotters will be directed at you.
There is no world outside of the US. Have you never watched The Truman Show? It's like that. But on a larger scale. All of Iraq is just a big studio in Oregon. You can re-use the same piece of desert loads, and no-one notices.
frankly, i'm already tempted to give Chrome a try. i recently updated to FF3
/me too. I hate that "Awesome bar", and so do lots of other people. Also, it just runs worse, and they've messed around with little things that worked fine before.
Google - get AdBlock, Flashblock, and NoScript working (or write a framework that allows people to write them for Chrome), and I'm yours.
simply by being able to go to the doctor tomorrow for an ill
I (in the UK) can be seen by my GP at 9am tomorrow (it's 4.30 pm now), or I can go to a city "drop-in" centre if it's more urgent, or I can go straight to a hospital if it's more urgent. None of this "are you insured" nonsense. Americans, please watch Sicko, and don't listen to your "friends" who say that you have to wait 6 months for x, or 2 years for y.
I used to make pipe-bombs with a friend when were were about 15. Weed-killer, sugar and copper tubing was what we used. Used to blow it up in the woods.
Can't imagine what would happen nowadays if you did that. Some massive over-reaction, no doubt. I feel sorry for kids now, what with all the paedophiles, and terrorists around these days.
Because Dan is Dan and won't be happy unless he writes libdancurve and makes you install it in/crypto/strong/etc/librarees for the next decade because it's under a non-FOSS license. Who know why he does anything he does?
That is very funny:) I installed djbdns when I was thinking of moving from Bind, and sheesh, it was just odd, and didn't work "right", and didn't support anything like AAAA records, or SRV records, or stuff. It's for people that are very conservative, and are running a Debian version from 1995.
Plus, the guy seems like a right cock, which in itself isn't a reason to not use his stuff. I'd just rather run a "logical" DNS server like BIND, with a daemon, and a set of config files, which supports recent developments.
Troll, not troll, whatever. I'm tired. And I haven't posted for a while, so I figure Slashdot is "missing" me.
Where is this video, btw? It's not on the PCPro site, as far as I can see. And I've checked all the links on there. Is it some sort of retarded embedded video within an advert within a javscript something within an iframe from a phisher's site, or something?
It's a commercial people. They have 30 seconds to show you what it can do. It's your responsibility as a consumer to research the product if you're interested in buying it, determine what it's strengths and limitations are. Not just run right out (literally) and buy it because it looked fast and shiny in a commercial.
Sure. But if you're advertising the speed of something, and you make out it can happen "just like this", then you're in trouble. I remember an advert for some cleaning product, where they put a penny in some of it, and do a "360 sweep" along with a caption saying "X seconds later" - so you know time has elapsed.
From http://www.bobleroi.co.uk/ScrapBook/Sealand_Fire/Sealand_Fire.html : "A security guard has been airlifted to hospital after a fire broke out on an old sea fort in the North Sea." and "More than 20 fire fighters have been drafted in to tackle a blaze at Sealand off the coast of Felixstowe." - I wonder which country's hospitals, helicopters, and firemen helped out here.
Aaah. "Thames Coastguard, Harwich RNLI lifeboat, Felixstowe Coastguard rescue teams, firefighting tug Brightwell, the RAF rescue helicopter from Wattisham and 15 Suffolk based firefighters from the National Maritime Incident Response Group (MIRG) were all called into action to tackle the blaze"
So swear allegiance (if you have to swear to something) to the country. I'm British - I was once asked in Russia if I loved the Queen. I replied: Do you love Putin? They understood then how silly it is. I don't love the Queen. I don't love the Union Flag (it's only Jack if it's on a boat). I don't love Gordon Brown. Britain has a lot of faults too - but there are aspects I think make Britain pretty special*. I just wish we could fix the other problems.

Let me hit you with a clue stick, I spent 10 years of my life defending that flag.
Can you not see the craziness of that statement? You were fighting to defend a cloth with some colours on it?
No. That flag is a symbol, a token of what you were defending - you were defending a country, its way of life, its people - but not a piece of cloth. Ask yourself this - if an enemy had invaded - which would you rather they took over - your flag (cloth and colour patterns), or your land, your language, your people, your laws?
many of us began each day saying the pledge of allegiance
Which also I find quite bizarre. Talk about indoctrination from an early age. But I also find the obsession in the US with flags a little disturbing. In the UK, you won't see hardly any flags. Maybe on a few government buildings etc. It's seen as rather tasteless, rather low-brow. Duh, me Tarzan, me light fire, me wave flag.
You have to wonder why an OS that runs on bombers and other military aircraft has to be so secure. I assume it doesn't have any kind of networking enabled, so that would mean that the only way you could tamper with it would be to get past lots of suspicious people with guns, and barbed wire, and get close enough to do it. Now, if it was reliability, or something else it was certified for, sure. But security?
Our roads are getting clogged and the solution proposed is to increase taxes, raise fares, decrease the size of the carriages on our trains, and split up the network. Space travel? We can't even get from the suburbs into town!!!
That's the UK's answer too. Guess it's all part of the Anglo-Saxon economic model.
I was born in South Australia, we have a military base there that is BIGGER THAN ENGLAND
Really? Area: 130,395 km, 50,346 sq mi. Does it have anything meaningful in it, or is it just a large fenced off empty space? The base I mean, not England.:)
My god, if you press me I can come up with at least 100 (no exaggeration) acts of congress that are appalling, and offensive to the average American.
Unfortunately, I think the word average doesn't mean what you think it means. Or rather, it means what you think it means, but it isn't the right word to use there. Perhaps substitute "outward looking, progressive, intelligent" and you'll be more accurate.
Of course, if the alien signal explains how to break the speed of light barrier, the secret to eternal life, or even just a cure for cancer, we'd be bummed if we missed it.
Yep: "Sorry boss, was just tuning around the bands, trying to hear the latest stockmarket news. Guess I missed it. My bad. And unemployed."
a product/service displaying a price for the same becomes a contract when it is accepted by anyone who pays for the same product/service to the advertiser.
I guess it all hangs on whether Dell accepted the money from the consumers at the time of ordering, or if it was to be debited when the goods shipped.

Seriously, I'm curious - not trolling. What are Java's "brain damages"?

Things that are tough and cause "brain pain" are generally best for you.
That's what I figured. I want to learn Morse until I can receive it at 20wpm, and I'm learning Erlang, which I just can't get my head round.
