Well, KDE always was a bit German to me. You know, the K in everything. As a matter of fact, I'm from Germany. And Nepomuk is a pretty old, but known name, around here.
In the 80s and 90s, we had a nice TV show with a small town of puppets here. In that show, there is also a puppet called Nepomuk: http://www.hallo-spencer.de/home/images/stuff/wallpaper/nepomuk.jpg He is portrayed as a somewhat weird old man, who is a bit cold at first, but in fact a very nice man on the inside, when you give him a chance.
So this is what I thought of, when I read "Nepomuk".:)
The fine print is NOT the law. Them stating arbitrary things in some fine print does not make it somehow ok.
What if they started to shred everything you check-in, and then pump the pulver in the plane. On check-out you would get a bag of that stuff with the same weight. Then the airline would state that it were a big accident.
Do you really think that would bail them out?
This is the same principle. They break it, they fix it. A fine print is only a rule, if all parties obey it.
I know that here in Germany, there are many things you can state in the terms and conditions fine-print, but that have absolutely no meaning. You can even get sued for stating some especially evil things in there.
Someone should check the importer code for random() function calls or similar things. ^^
Oh any: "render their format 100% correctly"? You haven't tried importing older files, have you? My guess is, that the only reason you think they render the current format correctly, is because there is neither an open spec nor a reference implementation to compare it to. ^^
Hey, why not see it the other way: The Quake engine becoming a standard plugin that you can expect to be there.
Imagine it being totally integrated in the site. Allowing proper 3D, and then becoming a required plugin for Kongregate. That would be so cool.
The Quake engine has seen huge amounts of love over the decade that it's existing now. And I hope with things like XreaL and High Quality Quake, it will stay a bit longer.
Oh, and as long as there is no complete support for CPMA and Defrag, I'm not going to replace my installation with Quake live.:)
How you obtain that they are planning to attack the country from the inside? Well, wanna know how I would have done it?
I would have made some of my agents building a fake terroristic organization, and building contacts. I would have started that not after 9/11, but as soon as I heard Al-Quaeda existed, and did hate the US.
Then by the time they were actively planning to go on the planes, my agents would sit right next to them, knowing all their friends.
With all the proof you need to do whatever you like with them, 9/11 would never have happened.
But hey, as far as I know, Bin Laden was their agent. Go figure...
No, no I don't know that they have problems. You have presented little to no proof they have problems. So your suggestion is that they not only wiretap the whole US but also break into every e-mail account they suspect of terrorist activity?
Man do I love it, when people arrogantly just interpret things like they want, and then attack others for the meaning of that interpretation...:\
Your problem seems to be, that you did not notice that there is another option, than just doing global wiretapping or e-mail-account cracking on everybody they "suspect". What i think GP meant, and what I think is right, is that to work as intended, the NSA should have determined the "terrorists" good enough to get a fully acceptable court-order, which then would give them the right to wiretap/crack anything.
Them not doing so is proof of how fucked up they are. So GP likely did not mean that they ran into any obstacles, but that they got real problems in their "mind".
But of course we're talking about an organization which rapes the constitution, and a bunch of lazy retards not kicking their asses for doing so. Yay.
Well, see the human body as a country. Of course there are foreigners in it. And some time in the past, everything was foreign. Some foreigners are bad. But most are good. Or they do the dirty jobs. Sounds like a pretty cool and well working system. Better than our countries for sure.:)
Although it would be strange, if our cops would just eat criminals, who themselves would breed like crazy. ^^
About the cooking/fermenting: As long as you do not kill every vitamin and protein in it, or refine stuff until it's something completely unnatural, cooking is Ok... ^^
Lithium is a hard-core drug used by psychiatrists. To quiet those, where nothing else helps anymore. It has tons of site-effects. And afterwards, you are usually not the same person anymore. Which may be good, if you were destroying the place, including yourself, before it. But it's bad in any other case.
Of course I don't know what the dose is that they put in the water. But if it changes people's behavior, it obviously has an effect.
I know this, because a friend of mine was given this because of a feeling of extreme heart problems while trying to sleep. And when they noticed it did not help, he got something even stronger. He slept like a baby. But only as long as he was on the stuff. Typical symptom therapy with no care for the real cause. He was only healed (no problems and no "medicine") after a very intense psychotherapy.
If they would put lithium in my water, I would sue them for deliberate aggravated assault (or how the lawyers call it in the US) and and psycho-manipulation (something like that). Not funny. Not funny at all.
Who says this? Your doctor? Well, hit him in the face, and tell him you recommend antibiotics against it, reasoning in the same way he does. ^^ (Oh, and remember not to ask him anything again after this. ^^)
These were no fully rhetorical questions. And if that stuff is so OMGWTFBBQ deadly, then how come that we're (including Mexicans, etc.) not all dead already?
The whole thing is just a giant FUD and media spectacle, that is wayyy out of the appropriate reaction zone. I bet there are many diseases that are worse and are killing more people spreading every single year.
You mean creepier than adding bacteria and calf stomach-juices to goat milk, letting it stand in the heat until all the milk has transformed into some bacteria-digested firm mass, and then eatin that mass, including the bacteria??
Maybe you should try making your own food for a change. And without combining a bunch of industrial-strength chemicals. ^^
Yes, but still, it's just a flu. Of course old and badly medicated people can die from it. But we've all had some flu. You get fever, take some specific antibiotics, and lay in bed for some days. And then you are ok again.
What's all the fuss about? I mean this swine flu is no disease that we don't have any antibiotics against, and it also is no super-killer-flu is it?
I mean the original patient one is alive and well.
If I didn't know better, I'd say that all this is a plot to get us allow them do something evil... like implant "flu" chips into everyone...
Slashdot Mirror
I worked at a large Internet portal, back in the days.
And we called it "quality assurance". ^^
Fun times...
We called it "viral marketing" at Lycos, and it was done like crazy. No marketing without it. Like a business standard method. Go figure...
Mmmm... underground cake...
Thank you for the details though. Sounds really interesting. Unfortunately I'm very far away from Minnesota, or even the USA.

None.
We don't use that piece of shit. At all.

Shoulda have watched Fox News then. ^^

Well duh. Just put it in the microwave. Optionally add silver or golden stuff for the extra electro-power and some funny FX. ^^
Yeah, way to go showing a good character. ^^
Do you only obey some important rules, when law (eg the possibility of a cop dragging you to jail) forces you to do so?
A wise man once said: "Good people don't need laws. They already know what is right and wrong themselves. And bad people don't obey them anyway."
If you do the right thing when nobody asks you to... or when nobody is looking... that is were real goodness in character shows.
Ok, you're right. The antibiotics are for the bacteria that have an easy game, spreading in the weakened immune system.
Well, I survived flues many times. So this flu does not scare me any more than any other one.
How is this a troll?!

You don't get it, do you?
10k ppm = 1 in 100
1 ppm = 1 in 1,000,000
None of your 0.000001 parts per hundred nonsense.
The "one in" notation is much much clearer.
What does the security theater at airports have to do with bombs?
No. Seriously!

You would not want to be me. Believe me. ^^
It is better to make sure everyone is well nourished, reasonably fit, and has easy and cheap access to front line medical care;
This may be possible in Mexico. But in the US? No way! Never going to happen. ^^
[...] it's really the first step from the denial of free speech to wholesale slaughter and genocide.
There. Fixed that for ya.
