Why would I use a Office suite which is free of features? I mean I want to actually use that think, don't I?
It would be like using Gnome. (Their basic idea was very good. But the implementation is horrible. I'm really objective here. I would have loved for Gnome to also be a software design success.)
When did it happen, that features became somehow uncool to a small but loud subset of the people (I guess)?? Is it perhaps, because the developers of software with features did not get the point of good defaults and how to put the settings dialogs and feature toggles in the background to not disturb newbies and people who are not really using the power? (For whatever reason.)
How about the epic fight for out freedom on the Internet? How about keeping the criminal mafia of the **AA down? How about TPB being a haven and a fortress against the **AA?
It's never about what you need. It's about what you *can* use. Gnome and also Pidgin is notorious in deciding for you what you want to use and how you want to use it. Everything is hard-wired, and every function that you don not absolutely need is removed.
They act as if they specifically wanted to have the most retarded users and the most featureless interface, for the sake of "simplicity", when in reality, you can have an endless number of features and options, and integrate them well.
The key point here is: Good defaults. Defaults are like having all features, and having everything wired in the most intuitive way for most users. But allowing you to change everything. And I mean everything. So you can have Gnome's simplicity AND KDEs features.
KDE partially tried that, but still has to become better.
But Gnome fell into a doctrine, and totally failed that one. I find them very arrogant. Especially their lust to decide what I should need or not need on the desktop. Who are they to decide? I think it's just the laziness of coding in the other features, combined with ignoring the power of defaults, with the power of a cult.
KDE people do not hate the Gnome ideas, of keeping it *efficient* (what Gnome they misunderstood as "simplicity", but really isn't the same thing). They only think you should have a choice. But apparently, Gnome people hate KDE people. Which is no wonder, with that cult-like doctrine behavior.
Whatever. If you want to limit yourself, go ahead. More power for us free people.
Stop using that unword! It is proof that you bought in to the **AA bullshit propaganda. Piracy = stealing shit on the high seas, sinking ships and murdering people. It is intended by the **AA, to make you associate those actions with file sharing, exactly because it is such a horribly wrong association.
So every time you use that word, yo spread **AA fearmongering. You essentially assist an help them. Please stop it. All of you.
Actually, all uses of that site were by definition legal. Only what happens when you use that.torrent file, to actually download something, was what was a bit gray. Also please stop buying in to the **AA propaganda bullshit by using unwords, like "piracy". If you use it, the **AA knows, that their method works on you. Don't allow that to happen.
Funnily, BitTorrent was more centralized than Gnutella for example. It was more like a eDonkey network with no central server list, no cross-server-queries, and no search functionality at all. But with stupid files that you have to download and then use to download the actual content, instead of simple ed2k:// or magnet:// links. Oh, and the BitTorrent "network" never had those rare files. Like the white-label vinyl of some exceptionally good bootleg that only existed seven times in the entire world. Luckily, mlDonkey allows BitTorrent, plus half a dozen other networks, including eDonkey.
I always thought that it was a big step backwards. I hope that the Gnutella(1/2) and/or eDonkey nets get more successful again, or replaced by something more safe that still can reach a good performance.
How can the ex-owners of the Pirate Bay not know their history? They will become another Napster. A "industry-platform", with ads en-masse, filters for "illegal" content, an about page that allows you to win bullshit bingo in under one minute (= full with words like "leverage", etc), and so on. Nobody will use them anymore. And the next generation will pop up.
Oh well, they got my last vote, but after that sellout, they will not get the next one. This is the best indicator, that they too will become just another party, that follows the money, and the money alone, just as the green party did. Interestingly, they just announced that they will join the green party's fraction in the EU "parliament".
I thought the point of pay-TV was, that there were absolutely no ads. Why else would I pay them anything?
Oh, well, I'm a bit out of what's new in that branch. I haven't had a TV since 2003/4, and I don't know why I would want one. Even Slashdot is better than sitting in front of the TV. I could not stand not being able to comment on a show. I can't even stand it on the sites of traditional news companies. I just stop reading them, because it feels so top-down of them, to only declare, and not hear.
And there's just something about it that no CD/DVD/MP3s can match.
We found out, some weeks ago, that this is just you being used to its specific distortion. Face it: It's all in your head. Cassettes have no better quality. By far.
Please don't let this become the same horrors, that it is with plugins.
If you ever tried to add a applet or anything embedded into a site, that came from some other domain (like a mp3 stream), you will know what I am talking about. It just gets blocked, except if you have a signed certificate and other shit, that you can only get for money. And then it is still a huge mess to set up.
In my eyes this stifled web technology quite a bit.
Additionally, what do you do, when you yourself have several domains and subdomains? Like a global domain for common things, like the base stylesheet and script libs, and a local domains, that use them. Etc.
It's good to make this safe. But it absolutely must be done right. Or else, there will be a giant mess.:/
What GP meant, was not, that you would not care, but that the public, as a whole, could not care less. That you lost your job over it, is exactly the sad thing that he wanted to point out that it is ignored.
I hope you can/could find a new job, man! And hopefully with a more wise boss.:)
I mean, If I would have had 65 billion dollars, you could bet your mom and your life on the fact, that I would have had such a great incredible and crazy life, that I would not care if they kill or imprison me. Oh, realistically, they would not get me alive anyway.
Then again, I may not be as boring as he is. ^^
65 BILLION. Imagine... Just imagine that. Even space and nuclear warheads on rockets would be an option.
Slashdot Mirror
Can I have a whole grown virgin? Also please no Galactic, Airlines, Music, or anything like that with it. Just plain, with some clothes to take off.
Thanks. :)

Who cares? Is money all you can think about?
How about the epic fight for out freedom on the Internet? How about keeping the criminal mafia of the **AA down? How about TPB being a haven and a fortress against the **AA?
Money? Really? That's all?
That is really sad...

That is security trough obscurity. And it will never work.

So the sale was accompanied by the worst PR handling ever!
If they had told what you said, it would continue to be a success.
Unfortunately, everyone now parrots the sale like you see it here. Which means, they will die, just as foretold by half the posts on this forum.
I don't know what to think about this. Maybe after some time, it will clarify.
Because they are dumbasses, and don't know the three Es.
Sincerely,

Long live the Pirate Bay. :((

What? They do both in the US? WTF?

Has anyone else had that?
If it would vibrate, it would be a vibrator. Not a dildo.
But you can bet on many of them being plugs and love-balls. Worn in-flight. ^^
Just as with Iran, North Korea, and that African state with that cruel leader (forgot his name).
Man, the ROCKED! I can still sing the melodies of their top hits: *sings* "Shhhhhh, Schhhh, Fssss ssss ss-shhhheschhhhh"
In other history news, the level of impotence and died off legs due to lack of blood, was also at an all-time high. :P

Ask this cat: http://navid.radiantempire.com/pub/pix/lolcats/funny-pictures-basement-cat-listens-to-backwards-messages.jpg
She can help you with that.

Because else it would have gone their way. Period.
Freedom is slavery,
war is peace,

Nah. Then they would only think: "How can porn on the Internet ever expire, and how am I going to 'beat it' then? I can't go back to Playboy now?"
Maybe you forgot that country that actually already threw two nukes on another country.
Actually it was the only one ever, and maybe will ever be.
No. It shoud be, and here actually is, MOD3. (Hover over the "Ebene 1-6" buttons, to see more.)
