Perhaps I should ask why you chose criminal representatives, and did not shoot them already for all the crap they did? You know... they work for you. You define the rules. They just write them up for you. Well, unless you go to cattle mode and let them turn the thing around and make the wolf herd the sheep.
I will not be ashamed. I do not care. I will put a picture for them to record, that will make you wish you could unsee it, even after you come back from the eye operation and heart transplantation center. Even the goatse guy will thank me for taking the heat off of him.:D
If you like hairy girls... and I talk about legs, arms, upper lip, neck, and so on... you might say that. ^^ As a greek girl you have two choices: Either painfully wax half of your body every other day, or become lesbian. ^^
I know it because I knew such a girl and 3 of her friends. They waxed. She was lesbian. (Bummer, because I found out a bit too late. ^^)
Well, you think that, because you can not imagine why they would make such incredibly counterproductive decisions. But what you ignore, is that they are just counterproductive to your values, and helpful for a quite different interest group. And that may me the point of it.
Never accept stupidity as an excuse, when there is someone who profits from it.
Well, it is 3.84% of their 27.6 billion € revenue, and 27.25% of their 3.89 billion € net income. So it's a bit more than a slap on the wrist, and will hurt.
But I agree that 100% of their income would be a better fine.
Or maybe not, and intel just knew when they withheld the yellow book, they could destroy everyone, because they had such a dominant monopoly, and because it was the right thing to do to maximize profits when you gut no conscience... they went with it.
I'm sorry, but from what I heard from my sources, GP it very believable, if not just the tip of the iceberg. (Because I know for a fact, from own experience, that they forced mainboard manufacturers to either not make AMD Athlon mainboards, or not get any specs and chipsets from them anymore.)
That's your own failure, for *asking*. What do you think you get, when you say "Please, can you do this?". A "no". You have to declare and expect/demand. You say: "I give you this computer, on the signed contract, that you will give it back to me in 14 days, and guarantee for its safe return with the sum of $5000."
If they say "No", you now *know* that there is a big chance that they will fuck it up. So you say "Sk, then fuck you. Bye."
"EVERYTHING is allowed, as long as it does not hurt anybody".
There. Solved all the fuss, the made-up concept of the "controversy" and the whole crap about it. That's why games are great. If you want to play being a really sick fuck, go ahead. At least you're not doing it in reality.
The only problem that can arise, is people who are so retarded, that they think reality is like games. But they will then soon find out, that you can not survive a bunch of rockets hitting you, winning a well-earned Darwin award.
The summary suggests, that there would be only one global way that this decision can go. While in reality, tracking a suspect with GPS can, and most likely is, ok in some cases. While in others it is not. And in some, it is even dependent on other factors.

Who funnily was the first one, to be flogged, after using up the first of his 3 strikes, and will be hung the next time he tries it. ^^
Hey, let's give him a gift. Something that starts a torrent which offers a music file. Then we tell the French version of the RIAA, and watch him going down in flames. ^^
If that does not help... hey, there are always enough holes in his computer, and enough botnet-owners with a rootkit, who would plant it on his system, to repeat this. ^^
It is not the creative industries that say that, because this would mean the artists. But this comes from the dying (and as we know for a good reason) distribution industries. The very people that want the creatives to get as little as possible from the sales cake. 1-4% with music, and they still have to pay the expenses, like the studio, from it.
I wonder how this process of article and summary writer selection works here on Slashdot? Do they choose the one with the least knowledge of the topic in an epic contest, similar to the Upper Class Twit Of The Year Show?
Oh, and: No, I have no window management buttons. There is no need for them when you can assign keyboard/mouse actions that work wherever you click, and also without the mouse. Also, they are so last decade. ^^
Yes, it might have a good performance and be stable. But, *yuck*, why does it have to be so butt-ugly? ^^ I mean the window border, and the whole widget set look like Windows 3.1, with an even worse color scheme. You might say it is not that important. And I agree. But it looks like it was intentionally made to look ugly and outdated.
Compare this to my desktop: http://navid.radiantempire.com/pub/Desktop-2009.0-cube.png (I only turned it that way, and disabled anti-aliasing, to quickly anonymize everything. Usually I just use the cube to have the 4 desktops, and to pseudo-lock the system by turning it to the upper screen. [Good luck finding the custom keyboard/mouse combo to unlock it or to get to a console. ^^])
I am no fan of useless effects. But I must say, the green, semi-transparent summer-park-feeling really pleases the eyes, and fits the early heat of spring nicely. I am an emotionally sensitive person, and the design influences the feeling when I work with something. So no offense, but with the style of MaXX, I would get depressive.
P.S.: Yes, the bottom image is Larry the cow. Bonus points for reading the caption.:)
If you cut it in two, both will grow to the size of Microsoft today, and rape you from the front and from the behind at the same time. Even if you're male.
Just tell me this: How is an average user without a DVD/CD drive going to install an OS? Even I have problems with this, and I am pretty experienced. (Booting from an USB stick never quite worked. Also I already need the one that I have, as a keyfile storage.)
No. It isn't cool. It's boring. A cooler construction similar to that is the face of the building of a local bank here. Including a whole tree *on the inside*.
Wanna see *really cool architecture design*? Then go look at the 09 competition on this site: http://www.evolo-arch.com/
We already have Haskell, OCaml, Erlang and tons of other well-hung languages, who can do this, and already have the good stuff in it (meaning libraries like OpenGL, and/or support for embedded devices).
Why does nobody ever get this: It is a application where you mainly write, using the keyboard. So stop using those damned mouse-only-UIs. It's so incredibly stupid, that I do not even have words for it...
Additionally, that "award winning" FLUX UI is as always, with all open source GUI concepts just a bad clone of some Microsoft stuff... which itself is just a bad clone of the stuff of others (eg. Apple).
Why can't we for once use our strengths, and really be on the forefront of development?
I mean, the InfoBox (of Lotus WordPro) still beats every other mouse-only UI concept. But it still was crappy because it was too hard to control with the keyboard.
But at least they *finally* stopped relying on modal dialogs.
My brain hurts from all this stupidity. I'm out. Developing some real advanced UI.

Nick Andros, Jimi Hendrix, Sean Sananikonem and a pregnant Britney Spears fight George W. Bush?

And funnily, as I said before, the first one to actually lose his first strike, was Sarkozy himself: http://www.reuters.com/article/lifestyleMolt/idUSTRE53R1V120090428
I also proposed how to make him take his medicine own the two other times too. ^^

"is"! I meant "is". ;)
Damn! Ruined my *one* chance to be quoted. Ever.
resulting in unification of open-source GUI
Yeah, right. Take away choice! We hate choice! Right? ^^
Only when the last fork is unified, will you notice, that the main trunk it crap. ^^
(True for states, companies, rule sets, etc. too)
My state? Where do you think I live? ^^
Hint: Not on the American continent.
On every single one I ever owned and still own. Oh, and on the two my brothers own.
Yes, I tried pretty much everything, because I thought they were not bootable. But I seems I have done everything right.

Hmm... may I intervene?
I think you two mean the same thing, and agree, but just misunderstand each other.
Or do you just make no sense? ^^
I really can't tell.
